Just thought id remind everyone of the bobby interview, couldnt find the full transcript but as he said here, we dont have 28 million (we have already spent 4), & he also thinks 4 players is enough, now wether he believes cleverly is the playmaker or the "other" is another thing.
I also rememeber him saying we need to be patient, we need may be able to get 1 or 2 in early but we may have to be patient with other signings but i couldnt find that part
"We haven’t got £28m now! You’ll have to give me another 2 years! Unless Robert (Roberto turns to Robert Elstone at this point) has got it there! What excites me about next season is not the players that can come in but the players we have got. Players like John Stones, Ross Barkley, Romelu Lukaku, Seamus Coleman, James McCarthy. Now you look at the experienced ones like Leon Osman, Phil Jagielka, Leighton Baines…there is a real strong group of players that is there. Finances, we don’t need to look at the finances to be a good side.
We need to be very precise in what we want to bring in and attract the right player and personality. We’ll bring in the players we need with the mentality that we need at our football club. I’m delighted with the young players we have at the club and it’s making sure we bring in a centre half, a playmaker, a wide player and maybe another player to increase the numbers in the squad. We don’t need the numbers we had last season, being out of Europe we can reduce the squad size. We will be fine with an extra four players, it’s more making sure that we don’t lose any of the performers we have had this season. We don’t rely on knowing how much we have to spend. We’re not in a position where we have to sell assets in order to balance the books…but we need to make sure that the players in the squad want to play for Everton. If the player doesn’t want to play for your team, we’re not going to fight it. "
