Exactly nothing that would pique the interest of the top 4
The £75m figure mentioned seems such an underwhelming amount these days.
Or even Varranne from RealPique? Now you're talking
Our sights should be set considerably higherhow about Ben Gibson from Middlesbrough ??
We should do, we will have one striker at the club come July - if Lukaku actually stays Kidman likes to play one wide as well so that's sandro I guess.
I suspect it's not far from the truth given what's transpired in the previous 2 windows. That's to say even if we don't sell Lu and Barks we'll have up around £75m depending upon sales of the likes of Del, Niasse and Clev added to Mosh's £.The £75m figure mentioned seems such an underwhelming amount these days.
The big thing we need to do with money is pre-plan. We could never do this with Kenwright and we're always reactive. It also led to us struggling for momentum.
As you've said moving for Dolberg this summer would be a fantastic move. We get a season for him to acclimatise and if Lukaku leaves next summer he should be ready to step over.
If Lukaku goes I'd then add Martial and one of Iehanacho or Dembele, or if he goes to Chelsea insist it Batshuyai and Abrahams.

If that's true there'll be some frustation as we'll have to spend wisely so will open with low bids for Pick, Gylfi etc. We'll need SW to perform. Sandro would be a great start.
If Barks/Lu money comes in incomings will accelerate as after Stones last year.
I predict we'll have a net spend of less than £45m if Lu stays and it'll be very modest if he goes.
Oh and I predict we'll sign Enner Valencia on a permanent in early July.

it's why Koeman stating we where already targeting players with or without Barkley deciding and his decision wouldn't change recruitment for that position = good.
Lukaku stays - Dolberg arrives, he plays 30-40+ games, spells Rom, replaces him when he needs resting, has injuries or theirs a big European/league game upcoming, plays all Europa games, plays all cup games, and gives a REALLY strong option if we decide to go two up front. <aybe his overall game improves as he plays some games as an inside forward for us etc also.
Player gets accustomed to the league without the pressure of carrying a team or expectation to instantly deliver such as would be at United/City etc, knowing that in a season he will become the main man up front for us - at a team he's already settled into.
That would be what we should do, 'old' Everton would do 1 of two things though, sell Lukaku last day of the window, rush to find anyone to replace him and pay stupidly for some journeyman, or sell him next season and have to rebuild the entire attacking team which has been catered around solely him.
Everybody except McGuire and GIBSONI've unlocked Financial Takeover on Fifa who we getting?
Agree entirely. Players will leave. We won't change our spot in the pecking order overnight. However poor planning is what does us in.
I'd like to see us bring in Dolberg and 1 other to be honest, to take the places of Kone and Valencia. Maybe this lad Sandro can do that but he seems more of a wide forward.
And yes I hope Barkley stays but we should look to bring someone in too. If Ross wants to be a top player he will relish the competiton.
I forgot about McCarthy and I don't expect us to sell Mori. I'm guessing we'd expect to get around £30m from successfully selling Del, Clev and Oumar.75m to spend boosted by sales = brilliant news
75m to spend including sales of fringe players = very poor news, as we will raise almost that from projected sales (Cleverley, Niasse, Mori, McCarthy, Deuloefu = 75m)
75m spend and the sale of either Lukaku or Barkley would be a disaster and the new owner would be shown up as a total fraud.
