We can’t afford all the glitzy glamorous signings you all want, that give you a warm fuzzy feeling because we have a lot of crap players on big wages.
Like it or not your club is now a business and if we don’t run it as such we end up like one of the myriad of clubs who have imploded by running themselves into the ground. Some of you need to understand this.
Didn’t Moshiri say at the AGM we could sign players for big fees. His idea of a big fee could be 30/40mil maybe your idea is more.This is pretty much it.
I don't think implosion and relegation is imminent. But we can't afford another summer of spunking money up the wall on players who literally contribute nothing and are deemed surplus to requirements within a year of joining.
We've got players like Sandro, Bolasie, Schneiderlin, Tosun who are all not going to feature long term. Only really Tosun has a genuine chance of playing for Everton again. On transfer fees and wages we must have spent 100M to get a combined 100 appearances out of them so far. All 4 will continue to cost 10's of millions a pounds per season to keep them in our reserves. They were all pretty much deemed surplus to requirements within the 1st half go the contract they signed when joining the club.
If we carry on like this then we could become the next Aston Villa. That's a terrifying thought on many levels.
What I'd say to our fans is that it's going to be a long build to get this squad sorted and get some of the deadwood cleared. It's going to need a huge amount of patience, and in some cases luck, to shift certain players before their contract ends. In the meantime, talk of us buying Wan Bissaka, Alexis Sanchez, Romelu Lukaku etc.. is pure fantasy. We won't be buying anyone for a big fee. And we certainly shouldn't be buying people on the wages of the likes of Alexis Sanchez or Romelu Lukaku.
Sorry for late answer.Surprised you don't view CM as a position needing urgent improvement.
Robert Skov's stats are insane. I notice he has no senior international caps though - who or what, other than Eriksen, is stopping him getting caps?
Its doable but like with any side if you throw in 5-6 new players it will take them time to gel and the fans will turn on them after 2 months when they are not 1970 Brazil.Ha ha maybe it can't all be done in the summer. But that's the job at hand over the next few windows. I would say midfield and striker are the key positions for me and a central defensive leader, I don't think we will be buying Zouma.
Eray Comert linked to this lad aswell swiss cb
Not getting either though are we?Militao can play both positions but Wan Bissaka is an obvious RB.
