Our problem is stalling on transfers. Whether this is partly because of the relationship between Koeman and Walsh I don't know.
The issue is in sufficiently identifying what we need and bidding the right amount early. In a world where Spurs throw 30m at Sissoko on deadline day and hardly used him all season - says it all about the current market.
And to bring it back to us, take three linked players - Pickford, Keane, Sigurdsson. Each tick enough boxes that would warrant a combined fee of around 70m. It seems a lot but that's the going rate for just one top player. Sure, don't overpay, but don't bother wasting time negotiating the lowest possible fee either.
We really shouldn't be getting priced out of players like Pickford, Keane and Sigurdsson. Otherwise the gulf between us and the top 6 is bigger than we thought.
just hope they get some early business done
I don't think we can move forward u til the decisions are made and bids accepted for either Barkley, Lukaku or both. Seeking either one or both is going to impact who we want to sign and what we want to spend.
It worked for city because those bloody FFP rules were not in place when they started. You can't get away with making a loss like that anymore.
Not only that but CITY's proportional purchasing power was a lot higher than ours is now. They could match anyone for wages and fee even then, we can't do that today we are not CITY rich.
I definitely think they've been feeding false expectations to the fans with what they've said because I haven't seen us make any 60 million bids reported publicly despite what Moshiri texts that yellow tie wearing bell.
If that lot sign VVD and Salah early doors then I truly despair for Everton.
Just once I'd like us to do some decent business early on, is that too much to ask?
Them lot getting VVD would be frustrating.
We need to avoid a window like last summer and actually get these players signed up.
£35m is steep for Salah though. He's already flopped in the Prem once, certainly no better than Mane.If that lot sign VVD and Salah early doors then I truly despair for Everton.
Gotta remember the season has not long finished - there's still loads of time left to sort ourselves out for next season.
So why does Morshiri claim it can?Even if the war chest was true,I don't think it was ever going to stretch to £60m defenders.And even then it doesn't guarantee success.
Football has gone mad.
Even overpaying won't do it though will it?
As a total example, Van Dijk, he wants to play champions league football and will get £200k a week wherever he ends up.
We won't pay more than that, and even if we did I think he'd choose the CL team.
