Silly Season January 2014

[Eggs]

We start with :

9m accounting loss.

We then take off wages for :

Moyes 65k
Hitzabuggerer 25k
Neville 50k
Felli 70k
Victor 40k
Mucha 25k
Jelavic 40k

275k a week, I didnt add Jelas.

We then add wages for :

Martinez 40k
Kone 40k
Robles 25k
Alcaraz 40k
McCarthy 40k
Lukaku 50k
Barry 60k
Deulofeu 20k
McGready 50k

315k a week, again, I didnt add McGready.

We then add the transfers :

Out
Jela 7m
Felli 27.5m
Victor 6m

40.5m

In
Pony 5m
McCarthy 13m
Robles 1.5m
McGready 1m

20.5m

Then we assume that our accounts stayed pretty solid and added the new TV Deal, which lets say is worth about 30m EXTRA.

We take out :

Martinez and backroom staff compo 2m
Agents fees 5m
New pitch and Lawnmowers 1m
I will also add Loan fees, even tho I personally doubt that we are paying fees as well as paying wages, but regardless 5m

30m - Accouting loss 9m - OOC 13m = 22m = 8m

8m + 20m = 28m NET.

Maths is EASY.

....impressive, but you missed off the Elecky bill.

Don't think it works like that.

Just because they're losing Cortese doesn't mean they'll sell their best players.

There's talk of Pochettino leaving though as a result of Cortese resigning. You never know if it causes a bit of unrest amongst some of the players.

Lallana please Bill, he would slot in nicely alongside Barkley.
Good evertonian too as is his dad.

Were those figures randomly created??

Where we gonna get the 15m for Lallana, the 20m for Shaw, the 10m for Ward-Prowse

They are not just going to give their players away!

Dont really think Pochettino would leave, maybe if it was earlier into his tenure, but he must be settled now. Maybe the uncertainty might make him leave but cant see it.

Local radio is reporting that Pochettino had threatened to leave a while back should Saints get rid of Cortese.
Saints fans are in uproar, many predicting a domino effect.

 

[ROBERTOMARTINEZ]

Havent heard much about it tbh, they've been playing well IMO. Pretty bad situation really for the Saints fans, sad really.

I personally hope he stays.

You add another manager, giving him either a comedy sounding name or just leave it as new user for ****s and giggles, then goto join Citeh or Chelski. Sign one of our youth team for about 100million and then you rinse whichever club you want for overinflated prices.

Oh, hang on its not real, its just a computer game - my mistake !!

 

[Moomin]

People keep harping on about after 'agent fees' 'wages' and 'improved contracts' there's only a few quid left from that £39million in sales. Bulls**t!

There's more than enough money available to buy a quality striker and midfielder, it's just dependant on whether the player's available now or in the summer.

The clubs in the best financial position in years. The question for Martinez is do I panic and spunk a tonne of cash now on squad player's or wait until the summer and buy player's that can fit into his philosophy.

January isn't the best time to bring in quality, you hear every manager mention this.

And chill the f out, jus enjoy the football.

Before you say best financial position for years, let's see the accounts when the come out in the next few weeks.

 

[TheFinnFan]

Everton boss Roberto Martinez says he is targeting the signing of a new striker following Nikica Jelavic's departure to Premier League rivals Hull City. Aiden McGeady has already been brought in to boost his attacking options, but Martinez admits he would still like to strengthen in front of goal:

What is important is that Aiden McGeady arriving has given us a bit more strength in the wide areas and there are many flexible players who can fill into that number nine position. But it would be an area that we are looking at before the window closes. We are looking at the options to see if there is a player with the right profile who would fit into the squad.

 

[jimmythenut]

Yeah, I don't know the facts or figures. I'm just listening to what Martinez said a few weeks ago.
