Summer 2018 Transfer Window

Gone to RBL

FFS, Brands out!

This whole "Sell to buy" or "not sell to buy" is a pointless argument right now. We have so much dead weight that selling them all will provide us with almost all of the transfer funds we need to bring in 3-4 very good players. Selling 9 players who are dead weight(1 of which is already sold) will net us 100 million, and then save us 35-40 million on wages on top of that, in just 1 window.

I new Sasha Ryazantsev would use grand old team.

So you admit you know so little about football you hadnt heard of Brands until 5-6 months ago? And yet you know enough to tell everyone else whats what?

Not sure admitting things like that will convince anyone to take your words seriously.

Sorry I hadn’t heard of a Director of Football from the Dutch league.

I’m actually just repeating what Brands himself has said - sell to buy.

The window shuts earlier this season and we have done no business, nor do we look close to doing any.

At this rate we will be scrambling around for signings, panicking ahead of the new season and then we’ll expect the new manager to hit the ground running.

Sell players you don’t want, buy players you do, you can do it any order you want, the problems come when you ignore one half of the equation, yet some people are calling for exactly this? We have one of the biggest squads in the league yet people want us to buy more players without sales?

Add to that, the fact that we can only actually have a squad of twenty five players.

This is kinda exciting looks like no one knows anything (not even my source) Silva Brands keeping their cards tightly against their chests.

As it should be.

It's not business in football. There is a clear correlation between money spent and success. A sell to buy approach does not bring success.

But, yeah, let's carry on pretending all is good because we have a DoF nobody had heard of 6 months ago.

There was also a clear correlation between lots of money spent last year and it not doing a bit of good. This is called "due diligence" and it's how good business is done.

Sell to buy?

Under Kenwright - Kenwrong Out

Under Mosh - Good Business.

..the links with Clément Grenier continue. Bit of an odd one.

Looked a prospect when he was at Lyon. He is 27 now of course

We never had a squad of 35 massive gimps on big wages who can’t play football under Kenwright though did we.

Who won the league last year?
Who won the FA Cup last year?
Who won the League Cup last year?

The difference was that in the right times under Kenwright we sold top players the manager wanted to keep and didn’t reinvest the funds (Arteta). We went numerous windows without a permanent first team signing being made. That is a bad transfer policy, at one point it was sell to loan.

Us clearing out a bit of deadwood then buying in some players Silva wants is completely different to that.

After Everton dropped 100m in the market. In one window.

No worries that you dont know as much as most of us, you'll get there, its just a bit odd then acting like you know more when you admit you dont. Brands has long been considered a top 10 sporting director, and many of us also know the names of Rangnick, Monchi and Zorc who Everton arent linked with. Be good to look them up too.

You arent repeating what Brands said, you are making things up. You also made up that "There is a clear correlation between money spent and success " You are free to provide ANY supporting evidence. The reality is, which you can look up in 5-10 minutes, is that spending only applies to the top 1-2 teams in a league. After that many of the biggest net spenders finished poorly, and many of the lowest spenders were 2nd-4th in the top leagues. Look at Tottenham, Monaco, Lyon, Dortmund, Benfica, Porto, Leverkusen, Hoffenheim, Chelsea, Atletico Madrid, Roma, Lazio etc
