It's not our money so the cost is immaterial - it's clearly who the chairman wants.

Objective, as per every season is to improve. With the right additions I'm sure we can add at least 15 points onto last seasons under performing squad.

I know a club down the M27 that had that same outlook on there football club, but hey ho.

Why did Martinez perform well with the squad in his first season?

After years of no investment, we are hardly likely to complain when we do finally get some.

Essentially the players still had the Moyes defensive drills/work rate ringing in their ears. It was the same back 5. When Martinez started to tamper with our defensive shape is when we started to decline, league wise.
 
Question for Everton fans.

Is Koeman worth 7 million?

What our your first year minimum expectations?

Lets face it, £7m is a drop in the ocean in today's football world...wouldn't get you a decent Championship player
So is he worth it? Well that depends on how he does..which brings us to expectations..

I would be happy with a fitter team battling for a European place showing a desire to play for the club..something
we didn't have for the majority of last season. Long term, challenge for CL, not unrealistic with transfer funds that
appear now to be available

I do not get this no investment in Everton.

You spent 28 million on Lukaku
10m Funes Mori
13.5 Million on Niasse
Mc Carthy 13 Million

You clearly have had investment, not every Premier League club spends 28 million on a striker

And still finishes 11th.
So yeah
7m is worth it.

That was re-investment, rather than investment. Lukaku & McCarthy were bought with the money we got for Fellaini, Jelavic and Anichebe. Fresh investment is a totally different thing for a club that once went nearly 3 years without paying for a new player.

Recently yes, we have spent some of the massive increase in television money, but for a long long time before that we had to generate our own money. Moyes had a net transfer spend of something like £9 million in over a decade at the club. We are still playing catch up, having a net spend that is comparatively low given the turnover at the club.
 
Huh, so it appears you're essentially gonna be paying Emery's wages for us for the next two years. Thanks.

Don't most clubs do this is England?

Apart from both Manchester clubs, Chelsea (Less so now).

If you ever needed proof of a small club mentality from a fan here it is.

If Emery is good for you - you get him - and you use our's or liverpools money to pay for him great. Well done. Go for it. Good luck.
