It's also very important that if Lukaku is to be sold, we get our business done first before sanctioning a move.
IF for Example Dembele is the player we want, if Celtic see us getting 70 million for Lukaku, Dembele who we might have got for 30 will suddenly be valued at 50.
Leave him hanging on until the last minute.

I see it as he is going to see what we have lined up over the next few months and who we get over the line quickly to please him, and show ambition.
If we do a "Everton" and leave it till the last day of the window, i think he will be off. This is one big message to the board "sign players show ambition you want the CL and ill sign, don't and plod on and ill be off".
Ball is very much in Moshiri and Walsh's court in my opinion.
I know it's less fun to think about, but Walsh and company will need to keep an eye on squad age this summer as they try to keep Lukaku around. The list of current players who will be under 30 the season after his contract expires is quite thin:
-Joel
-Holgate, Funes Mori, Galloway
-Barkley, McCarthy, Davies
-Lookman, Calvert-Lewin
That will take some time to rebuild if they don't have CL as a lure. Going to need some balance this summer.
Note: Gana and Schneiderlin turn 30 a few months into the '19-'20 season.

What a really bizarre way to measure squad age your using, measuring the age not now but in 3 years time to try skew a point
Our central midfield in 3 years time will have an age of 30, 30, 29, 26 and 21.
Wouldn't it have been far easier to just say we have 3-4 players who over the next 1-3 seasons will need to be replaced due to age (Williams, Baines), the rest will be Coleman 31 (still possibly at his best level at that age), Mirallas - 32 - but lets face it just a squad player atm anyway, and Barry and Jagielka who are both in the process of either being replaced already and seeing reduced roles in the team.
What we do have right now is a very small squad
The frame I used was Everton going all in to qualify for CL over the life of Lukaku's current contract. I suppose you can call that an arbitrary point in time at which to measure squad age, but there was no intended agenda in my original post.

i don't think we do tbh. We have 3 players on loan to prem league clubs, another one on loan to preston, one in italy and one in germany we always put out a good starting XI and the 7 on the bench i always think is very strong. Most of those, if not all will be sold in the summer.

valencia?
That's a list of 31 there (inc. valencia who will only be ours until season's end), not including any of the current U23's crop who are on the verge of winning the title and no doubt a couple can make the step up. Yeah ok, about 4 or 5 of those could be deemed not first team (possibly could have included pennington as well), but i think that's as big as squad as i remember following everton.
We'll shift off about 6 or 7 of those because a lot aren't good enough, and hopefully bring in the same number, but our squad would plenty big enough to cope with the extra gameload of next season.

All of these need shipping out though. Never CL quality. IMO there will be another big clear out in the summer. Wouldn't be surprised to see 8 or 9 leave.

Honestly I dount anything we do leads to him staying short of £100 million spent and a serious run at multiple trophies. Probably would need to actually win something too

Which if everything people tell us about Moshiri etc, a 100 million spend shouldn't be pie in the sky. I doubt it will happen but when i listen to people who have supposed knowledge of the 'inner circle' that amount shouldn't seem so unlikely being spent in one window. Again i feel we are as close to trophies now as we have ever been in the last twenty years (but to be fair that is no ringing endorsement either)

We have messed up last summer so this summer there can be no excuses. Identify the targets and go get them early. Then see what lukaku wants...
Premier league is so much more open that it's been in the last decade so get it right and we could really challenge next year.
