Player Valuation: £150m
Playmaker/second attacker was the priority though: Lukaku gets injured and that's that.

Player Valuation: £50m
I'm already thinking ahead to the summer, not sure if we'll get anyone else in by Tuesday.
£30m+ is a decent enough net outlay for January with poor/non-existent performers offloaded but I think we would have to look at doubling that between June-August if we are to be competitive from the off.
I think we need another 5 signings and my naturally cautious take on all matters Everton is already wondering how we might afford them, not to mention being organised internally and ready to do business early. The stories of Kenwrights continuing involvement in transfer negotiations do not inspire confidence.
Not sure if expecting a ball-park net spend in the summer of approx £60-£70m is fair? Should it be higher? Lower? Would like to hear other opinions on this, in the context of increased TV revenue, commercial revenue etc. Given our current January spending, and the near break-even efforts of last summer, another £70m would see us roughly at the £100M budget that was mooted last summer for Koeman.
I have to admit whilst I'm generally happy with progress, I'm dubious as to whether the summer will finally herald visible evidence of a big net-spend and that we get "take-off" on becoming the ambitious club with means to deliver that we all want.
If we do have that sort of money left in the coffers for transfers, then it will still have to be carefully managed. One £30m signing from a budget of say £60m would mean that Walsh in particular will have to be very creative in finding cheaper solutions in addressing some of the gaps in the squad.

Nah, you can't include Snivelley here as an example. He was just a completely terrible footballer, let alone capable of wing play. The rest could easily make it work if we switched formation.
Unless a top class player becomes available, better to leave it for cool heads in the summer
Agree, we are realistically unlikely to end up outwith 5th-8th position come what may also the emergence of Davies and Holgate coupled with the fact that historically there are better quality players available in the Summer make that a more viable proposition.

Ah now I see it, you're not taking into account the poor eyesight of an old man-Reported
Im 27 mate getting on abit myself, but I wouldn't be too concerned by me on my high horse looking down on you for poor reading skills, up until a few days ago I called you Lambert Toffee, who the hell am I to judge lol
All of those players are absolutely awful though mate, think that's what he's saying.
3 German fellas have walked into Nandos.
I suspect they just want Chicken though
...if they look glum they're unlikely to be Germans, probably Danes who came over for last nights game.

No mate FLOORED, I kept head butting the floor every time I seen cleverly or barkley on the left wing lol
Im getting rather tired of managers spending fortunes on players to then play them out of position to accommodate another player, or to complete some philosophy to make a simple game look tougher than It needs to be.
Would you not be bothered if Everton signed Messi and played him in goal ? Or paid £28m for Bolasie to play him centre half ?

To be honest though, you could say that about United too, if Zlatan gets injured they're toothless.
Only sides in the league I think that wouldn't tank from losing their main forwards would be Chelsea, Spurs, probably Arsenal. Mane leaving for ACN has killed the horrors, for example.
I keep hoping that Pelle's time in China has been a disaster and that he gets sold back to Europe, us in particular. Solves the target man issue straight away
...lots of chat but no rumour. It's at times like this I miss Mole and Passport Office Smithy.

Even Spurs would too I reckon. Janssen is no Kane. But at least they have an option.

Think that's still being abit harsh on those highlighted. They are here to do a job, we cannot be all real Madrid all of a sudden and have £15m reserve full backs and such. Every player has a role in the squad IMO.

Left them off because I think Son is a quality player, but do see what you mean
