Summer Transfer Window 2017

[Brisan123]

Forget about the elite financial club transactions mate. Focus on what our peers are forking out...it isn't anywhere near the £30M-£45M bracket we've been getting had off for.

But we have no peers in English football Dave



We are a bit outside the top six and well ahead of the other 13 teams for the time being anyway.


We are in a league of our own , as are you I might add

 

[Brisan123]

I'll accept that there's been the massive inflation that you suggest if you can also prove that our non-financial elite PL peer clubs have also paid a number of record breaking fees in the £30M-£45M bracket in the last one to two years......

Palace for Bentake springs to mind

 

[NoiBlau]

Are we supposed to not take stock and compare what has been spent with performances so far or what other clubs are pulling in for less?

Ok.

No, we're not supposed to do anything. This is just a fan's forum. Could you tell me one positive thing that you feel has happened this summer? Doesn't have to be Everton-related, if that helps.

But you said we needed to have a big net spend to get CL
We are outspending the teams below us to keep them there and get nearer the teamsa above us.
You can't complain about poor net spend and then disagree with big fees to get the calibrate of player we need

I see Everton as a non-financial elite club...because we are.

We should be paying the £18M-£25M fees that other non-elite PL clubs are paying, not being mugged for our Lukaku + Deulofeu + Cleverely + soon-to-be Barkley cash windfall.

And we will stay in mid table mediocrity with that approach.

So on that basis we shouldn't have bought Lukaku 3 years ago, and wouldn't have said windfall to spend now anyway.lol

How old is @davek

I think Perez would be such an astute buy and apparently 5 million cheaper than before.

Much better alternative to kev and when Sandro is injured. Get him.

I'm up for Willian Jose. Think he could do a good job.

I'm not saying we haven't bought decent talent. Keane and Sandro look likely to be bargains eventually. Pickford maybe in a few years time. Sigurdsson was a pure mugging. No question about it. 28 years old and no sell on value. Criminal irresponsibility with scarce financial resources.

Leicester offered £40m for Sigurdsson, I'll agree with no sell on value for him, but in Koeman's defence he did say he wanted players at their peak, 27 / 28 and that's what Sigurdsson is at his peak and that age. If you want sell on value, well there's Cuco free transfer would be sold as a profit, Sandro £5.8m easily sold on as a profit, Keane /Pickford / Klassen could all be sold on as a profit because all are young and imo top players.

 

[IllinoisBlue]

he's saying we are buying the same players that mid level clubs would be and paying double the price for them. which isn't far from the truth.

Keane, Pickford,Sigurdsson and Rooney are mid level club players? And Ramirez was 5m and Rooney was free. He is cherry picking who he talks about to suit his argument. Klaasen is the only one I am not yet convinced has what it takes.

How old is @davek

Based on often he contradicts himself I'm guessing he is a collective of 7 or 8 people operating as 1 brain constantly in conflict with itself

I provide footballing scouting for the masses, using a realistic formula

Using your eyes? It's using your eyes isn't it?

 

[bluestevon]

They've barely played a couple of games and you add another £10M onto the fees?

Maybe they will appreciate in value. But that doesn't detract from the point that they were bought for more cash than our peers would have bought them for...and the financial elite weren't in the market for those two.

United wanted Keane mate, so your wrong

And yet you're advocating giving Palace their money back on Benteke, a striker who's even more frustrating on an off day than Lukaku when we should be buying a younger pacier striker

 

[Barnfred 55]

Have you noticed that there was a massive inflation in terms of transfe fees in the 1/2 years?

I asked you how much do you think £6m in 2013 is worth now. £13m in 2013 for McCarthy how much do you think that fee is worth now? You ignore and won't answer.

Maybe he has you in ignore mate,
