How is it biased? 30k a week is 15 mill over a year - 60 mill over a 4 year contract - that money comes from somewhere.

We did mate, we lost Neville, De Hammer, Mucha, Fellaini and Vic (5). But then took on (7) Kone, Alcaraz, McCarthy, Barry, Lukaku, Robles, Deulofeu.

Which is the point really, the club could well afford transfer fees, its the wages that are the problem, the need to sell Jela and Heitinga is more freeing up the wages then it is about transfer fees - that why people doing net spends on tranfer fees are only wrecking there own heads. As far as im aware we're reasonably good payers in the PL when it comes to wages.

Transfer fees are a bit of irrelvency in this day and age, certainly a aspect of a transfer, but not the major contributor to the actual cost of taking on a new player. Which is more the reason why you hear of players needing to go before others need to come in, rather then clubs needsing the fee, they need the wage - circa Jela and Keitings - id say both combined are north of 100k a week in wages.

It like the total liability figure thats trotted out, its not a fair reflection on the true financial situation.

Not defending the board or anything here - because we should be better then we are - just trying to be accurate.

30k a week is about 1.5 mil mate not 15m per year

And failing.
 

And to act as if transfer fees are a smaller part of a transfer than the wages as a rule is weird.

McCarthy cost £13m. Even if he's on £40k a week, that's £8m over the course of a four year contract, still much less than the initial investment.

Transfer fees are a myth they are irrelevant really - transfer cost are all about the wages you loose and take on.

Transfer fees are irrelevant. I've heard it all now.

'Everton manager Roberto Martinez and his chief scout Kevin Reeves take in Dundee United v Hibernian'
 

Robertson the left back has been getting a few goals this season and played brilliantly considering he came from the equivalent of League 2.

Souttar who he's been linked with had a mare against St Johnston a few weeks ago but he's looks like he'll have a great future as a ball playing center back

Ryan Gauld has been sensational this year. came on leaps and bounds under Jackie McNamara and with half of Europe after him (think Dundee Utd are after 4-6mil for the lad). plays either just off the striker or can play wide left. He's spoke a lot about how he thinks he'd be better suited to Spain or Italy over England and the papers up here are saying Roma are favorites for his signing
