Transfer Window Thread

[deipnosophist]

Theres no excuse for at least £30m not to be sat there ready for us to spend. Proper Everton that even with the increased TV money we still never spend. Reckon we've got asolute max of £20m.

hmmm...adding the likely player amortisation number (20mio) to the likely 2015 EBIT(5mio), you could make a claim for 25mio. But, there is no way (imo),the board will authorise that spend, not without a player sale. Post the Deulofeu purchase, RM has about 12mio to spend

In fairness, that was before the extra 30mil per year mate

What extra £30m is that? The same £30m which is paid out next year, or another £30m?

They did that under Pardew too.

Signing that many players generally doesn't pan out.

They've signed Wijnaldum. That's it.

However good he may well pan out to be, it still doesn't address the fact that Mike Williamson is their first choice centre back.

How do you know these signings are going to work?

To justify my comments about Noocasl, I just remember that they were doing OK until Pardew went last season and their stand in manager turned out to be clueless. In my opinion they have a good coach now in McClaren who will make them more of a team.

The main reason for thinking they're not going to be as plop as last season is due to their signing of Wijnaldum who I feel will just be boss in the right team. I think they'll be competing with us around 6-10th positions.

The Spurs comparisons which apply to both Newcastle and West Ham about signing loads of players are valid, but I think the main reason Spurs didn't kick on was because they lost their talisman. Some clubs do great after making a big sale and bringing in a few players i.e. Southampton last season.

If 12m is what we've got left, then our activity suggests that martinez's main concern is a third choice centre back rather than a playmaker.

I'm just intrigued as to who everyone is referring to when citing all of these signings.

ONE PLAYER they've bought in. They still have an utterly wretched defence, no amount of expert coaching from McClaren is going to sort that out.

Spurs also signed a load of young 'uns at once, with the exception of Goaldado, and half of which have not fulfilled their potential growth on FIFA.

All this fume after we actually signed two players ffs.

Remember we used to wait till the last minute of the window under Moyes?

Fun days.

Three mate, well kind of, depends if you count Henen or not.

Its even more next year

I would have loved that lad here.

I forgot the Arsenal players hadn't had a 6 week summer break as well

It doesn't matter if they were back for two days or two months it was a training session and nothing more. It will count for absolutely nothing when points are at stake.
It is like going to a training session and making a prediction for the season based on that.
The competition was well worthwhile but a little too early in preseason for any major benefit other than fitness.
But, what is very noticeable is the different preparation this season compared to last.
There seems to be a huge emphasis this year on fitness. No games this week until Saturday which means another week building up fitness.

See in one of the unfavourable red tops Fenerbache have put an offer in for Lennon, thought he was another cert to join

 

[orchard]

The additional 30mil that Moyles deffo didn't get whilst he was here, whether martinez gets much is a different issue.

Telegraph have said West Ham will make a second bid for Mirallas and that Everton want 8 mill, Is that it?

WELL SEEING AS WE HAD A BID OF 12 MIL FOR PAYET AND 8 MIL DANN THAT ALREADY EQUALS 20MIL

We will spend more than 20 mil FACT
