Steven Naismith though.

Yes, Ross Barkley, England's wonderkid who currently has a market valuation that is north of 40 million pound, would be Naismith's replacement.

Im sure he can stay injury free for all 60 games in the season.

 

[maccavennie]

Yep we have an extra 35 million coming our way next season, and an extra 35 million coming our way the season after that. So, yes I agree we should be able to buy a boss CB without selling players. But we are talking about Kenwright's Everton here, and besides, I think selling an almost 28 year old Naismith next Summer for anything over 10 million would be very good business that would give us more room to strengthen the first 11.

We won't be selling Naismith and if we did I don't think we would be getting upwards of 10m for him tbh mate. He's worth more sticking with us imo as he suits what Martinez requires. There's other players I would look to ship out IF we were looking to sell to generate some dollar.

We won't earn an extra £30m+ next year, we will receive roughly what we had this year from Sky, the money isn't going up every year.

It's likely to be an extra 100 million pound over 3 years depending on our league placing and TV appearances. Then we will have all the extra revenue from our Europa League campaign, which will be over 10 million if we reach the quarters.

I don't know about the Europa league revenue (although that sounds quite high) but the league money doesn't go up every year, it's increased once (this year) and then the following year it's matched. We don't get a yearly increase of £30m+ every season from now on.

But we do have an increase of 30m comparative to what we are used to. So there is money to play around with and room to improve.

 

[DualityNSNO]

Reckon we should just get the extra 30m and give it to Naismith, just to irk DaveK.

I know. But it is an extra circa 35 million pound each year compared to yearly revenues prior to this new TV deal. So an extra 100 million over 3 seasons. The figures for the Europa League are out there; Spurs, Fulham etc were receiving over 10 million+ once they reach the quarters. I'm not entirely sure, but I think those figures are for TV only as well, not a combined total that includes ticket sales and corporate hospitality etc?

Yeah but the way some people are talking there seemingly expecting a yearly increase of £30m every year. Now our squad size has increased and the extended contracts for players are accounted for a fair amount of this will be swallowed next year.

And it's only matched if we maintain our league position, people are talking absolutes about something that has a number with lots of variables.

Our squad has hardly increased by much. Wages may start to eat away at it a bit but we will hardly looking at a barren year next year.

We are talking a couple of million here or there though, unless we have a catastrophe of a season.

Yep. An increase in TV appearances (could happen due to us needing to play on Sunday a lot), and a good Europa Cup run would further increase our revenue as well.
