Defour wants to be a starter if he leaves Porto, would he get that playing for us ? I wouldn't want to drop Barry or McCarthy.

He did back him, he gave him £8-10m to spend which he did on Kone, Robles, Deulofeu on loan and giving Alcaraz a deal

Thats where the problem arises mate, most players moving now will be doing so with a eye on the world cup and will want almost a guarantee of substantial playing time, then again how many minutes has osman played this year as really any mid incoming will likely be taking his spot, and a higher caliber one will likely see both barry and mccarthy given a little more rest - which barry will prob welcome later in the season at his age)

If that's the case and players aiming for the WC do want guaranteed playing time, you'd think that'd make it a good opportunity to target players a bit higher up than we usually would. If that's their number one priority they might be willing to take a little step down. That said there really aren't too many of them about.

Also another factor is mate that players will push during Jan for moves, making the normal rule of jan costing a lot more for players a little redundant as any player doing that usually cuts his price/demands a bit

Your not far off I don't think. I think last Jan the board put up £10m on the basis the new TV money was coming in. We had a bid of £8.3m accepted for Fer but the deal fell through. We then had a bid of £10m rejected for Negredo, so im thinking are limit that time was £10m.
I then think that got put up for Martinez this summer and like you say, spent it on Kone (£6m), Joel (£2m?), Deulofeu on loan and a deal for Alcaraz.
But we might of had a bit more as before the sales of Felli and Vic, we made a bid for McCarthy but it was a terrible bid by all accounts, very little upfront and rest on drip.
Felli (£27.5m) & Vic (£4m upfront, rising to £6m with performance related add ons) leave and then we can sign McCarthy (£13m all in one go), Barry & Lukaku on loan for about £9m combined (don't shoot me down in flames but read/heard were paying all of his £120k a week wages as City wanted him gone and off the wage bill and wouldn't subsidise, and £3m in total for Rom).
So lets work it out, £31.5m for Felli & Vic, take off Standard Liege's cut of about £1.5m, that leaves £30m. Then take away £21m at most maybe from that and you've got £9m. Plus what little we did have left over originally from the existing budget, we could have £10m or more, give or take. Then like some have said, agents fees and things, it could be less than that.
So we wont have a great deal in the kitty like some think. Some rags before this window said around about £10m, which I bet wont be far off. But I read that Martinez is reluctant to use all that this window and would much rather put it towards his kitty in the summer and do his main business then, hence the reason why he wants short term replacements for Gibbo and Kone.

A Dutch football Twitter account quoted his agent saying that Heerenveen want around £8m for him this month if there to sell him!
it wont.

@EFCDayne, seems to think we'll sign Tom Ince on a free in the summer, says he met him and asked him about his future.
There's a picture of him with Ince there as well.
Ince said he's a blue also and that he likes his chances with Martinez as he plays youth.

Shaking here at Everton, a team with so little money, spending 8m on Kone and Robles, a second choice goalkeeper.
Awful business.
By my reckoning we 'had' the Leroy Fer money from January, but let's round that down to 5m to be fair to Bill.
Then we made around 33m from Fellaini and Anichebe sales. Those two gone saves over 5m a year on wages.
We bought McCarthy for around 13m, Kone for 6m (no doubt less) and Robles for 2m. That's 21m TOPS on new players, all three of which take up probably the same as Fellaini and Anichebe's wages of 5m a year. There is now around a 15m discrepancy if you believe that the manager gets to spend the money generated from sales, as apparently we're in a strong financial position
lol.
But let's factor in Lukaku, Barry and Deulofeu too. Probably paying virtually nothing for Gerard, and let's say 5m loan fees for the other two, plus let's say 5m a year in wages for the three.
That leaves around 5/6m left, with Bill again putting absolutely no money of his own into the club.
Jelavic goes, 3/4m, Heitinga will leave for free, plus 2.5m saved on wages on the two until the end of the season.
= a total of 11m to spend on a striker (which includes wages). That'd get us a good 8m striker.

What about the 9m accouting loss we had last year mate?
I think he'd be the Arteta replacement we've never had. Looks for space and can dictate the pace of the game with his passing. Anyone trying to judge him on todays game needs to consider the quality of the other players around him (on either side).
He'll be a top top player. Im certain of that.
