Summer Transfer Window 2019

[The binman chronicles]

This genuinely isn't a wind up post by the way and I'm not trying to cause bother, but does anyone think that if all these transfers we're being linked with go through that we run the risk of living beyond our means?

Yes, I know most of you will say "It's not your money, just enjoy us signing players" but I wonder how many Rangers supporters were saying that when they were splurging on the likes of Torre Andre Flo?

Do we really have the funds to sign Zaha, Iwobi and another defender?

Reassure me here people

We are being run by an accountant. A quite successful one that has handled large sums before. Our turnover does not support massive outlays so Moshiri must have said he will underwrite up to x million extra. So I wouldn't worry about it.

If we start selling everyone on the other hand....

I have posted a few times over the last 1-2 days saying the same.

If we have cash reserves to fulfill down payments on these transfers, and are committing to the rest, it means something significant has happened in our favour (which can in reality only mean Usmanov is channeling funds) although we undoubtedly fail FFP. As usual, the media are way behind but I thought someone would have picked up on it, and at least out the question out there. We have negligible commercial income and no obvious means to finance this.

If we are living (way) beyond our means, especially with BMD on the horizon, then that will bring its own consequences.

Also we sold a load of players.

I can feel the panic rising. (Only joking).

If players aren’t bursting to play for us they can do one!!!

Transfer fees weren't what killed Rangers. That was paying the players in a way that basically amounted to cash under the table. Then the taxman came knocking.

The EBT's played a part, but being so full of debt due to Murray's desire to outspend Celtic was just as bad

The amount of debt that was racked up was ridiculous

 

[Boss Silva]

Both.... surely not ?????

What David said is true. everton want both players and i think both will come. Bernard playing in the middle as an replacement for Sigurdsson

David Luiz trains away from Chelsea first team after trying to force through move to Arsenal

David Luiz did not train with the Chelsea first-team on Wednesday after sensationally trying to force a transfer deadline move to Arsenal.

That's the final nail in the Zouma coffin I would think (and possibly Tomori)

I hope we have alternatives lined up that don't involve any of those wasters from United

No.
But Moshiri knows a man who does.

Born in Italy, lived all his life in Italy, Italian.

So Italian that him and his mum speak to each other in French !

 

[Charles Hawtrey]

Kean is italian with Ivorian parents.

They have never crossed paths.

I hope the parent's paths crossed at least once in the last 20 years.... suggest you google "how to make babies"

EVERYBODY PANIC (I'm trying to be funny, when in reality, all I want is for someone to comfort me deeply, stroke my hair, and to tell me that everything will be fine)

 

[Boss Silva]

Our Squad tomorrow in the end of the day, will be something fantastic.

Silva will have all the conditions to reduce the gap to top Six.

Is a good time to be Evertonian

I think the difference is that we have so much deadwood in the squad that were on large wages. In terms of transfer fees it’s only FFP and premier league regulations stopping Moshiri ploughing in whatever he wants into us. If we fall foul of that then fine we get a slap on the wrist and a fine. We’re bringing in players on lower wages though than the likes of Jagielka Sandro Williams Rooney Klaassen who we have moved out of the club. We could still free up a ton of wages just through getting rid of players we don’t even want.

This is a very different situation to clubs like Leeds and Rangers who effectively mortgaged their clubs in future success that then never happened.

Our recent signings have also probably increased the value of the club. Richarlison is probably worth at least double, Digne maybe triple, Pickford double, Kean could go the same way. This has to come into the accounting somewhere as a benefit for us. The value of the squad is far greater than when we were buying players whose value just decreased immediately.

Remember when you asked me not to call you a knobhead, well, I'm really struggling here if I'm honest Mikey so I might pop you on ignore for a few days.
