But its not 20% tho, he was poor after the restart and he's been a bit hit and miss at times, but he's a quality player and I only said he was our best midfielder, tell me that statement is wrong.

I don't disagree, but we need more from what is our current best midfielder.
 

Brands has to get rid of the deadwood too, as well as buy players in.

List courtesy of Kevin Prytherch

Kieran Dowell - £2-£5million, fair enough
Leighton Baines - retired
Djibril Sidibé - end of loan
Maarten Stekelenburg - out of contract
Fraser Hornby - £1.8million - decent business
Cuco Martina - out of contract
Oumar Niasse - out of contract
Luke Garbutt - out of contract
Matty Foulds - out of contract
Morgan Feeney - out of contract
Alex Denny - out of contract
Korede Adedoyin - out of contract
Kieran Phillips - out of contract
Manassé Mampala - out of contract
Morgan Schneiderlin - £22million loss.

He’s not exactly shifted a lot, has he?

And has added;
Gbamin, Delph, Iwobi, Mina, Bernard...and Kean(?)
And possibly even Gomes the mega money deadwood list.

Just sayin like.

What about the players he’s sold before this Summer since you’re including incoming transfers from previous windows?

*all those wages gone
 
Digne is the best LB in the world.
Gomes is head and shoulders our best CM
and
Mina when fit is 100% our best defender

But sure, lets not buy players from 1 of the best teams in the world.
Must have been on the pop when writing this post. For a start, how can Mina be our best defender if Digne is the best LB in the world?
For a starters the best Lb in the world, is definitely playing in the champions league and winning trophies. He’d also probably be sweeping our awards this season but that will probably go to richarlison. He’s a good LB but don’t get carried away. If the best LB in the world was playing for Everton, there’d be queues of clubs trying to buy him, especially when there’s clubs in need of a LB at the moment. That’s football though, Everton fans pick Digne, Leicester fans pick chilwell, arsenal fans pick tierney and Liverpool fans pick Robertson.
I guarantee no neutral puts digne at the top of that list.
Don’t even get me started on Gomes. Literally put in more 1/10 performances than probably any other player in our team this season and last. Whacks a 9/10 game in every ten and people think that’s good enough....maybe it’s the players alongside him.....yeah whatever
 
Last thing we need in another Gomes or a Mina.

Us buying there rejects is on par with Bournemouth buying Liverpools and thinking its a good idea.
Don't think Bournemouth had a choice. They're a really small club with a small stadium. They will never attract any players aside from loan deals, cast offs and past it players, all at inflated prices.

Kean, gomes, mina and gbamin ( maybe ) certainly aren't deadwood as they have either contributed or in keans case have good potential

Bernard overall has been solid on a free and would fetch a fee.

Iwobi has been utterly dreadful like.

Delph, can see why we signed him and let's be honest we all thought it was good business when we did get him, he's just a strap on though and his attitude is grim
