What Premier League position would you settle for if it could be offered now.

Survival

Exactly. I'd take 17th if in return we used this season to cleanse all of our horrible contracts. Happy to restart next August with a clean state.

i'd want us to finish bottom half, to get management to WAKE THE F UP

If we could get rid of all the garbage in our squad this summer - I'd take 17th

 

[deipnosophist]

A terribly droll season, losing as many as we win, conceding as many as we score but due to there being worse clubs we will be mid table 8-15

...possessing a droll sense of humour is de rigueur for any, (and every), Evertonian...

 

[Houghty19]

1st and if not 1st then 2nd

 

[APN_EFC]

7th minimum

 

[Bohemian Toffee]

League table position is so passé - xg is where it's at.

8th.

 

[Cels]

I feel we are a 10th place or below club, so if someone was to offer me higher than 10th place I'd take it.

This won't solve anything though. We've shown this summer and every other one that we'll just add more garbage in. That's the part we've got to fix. I don't even care if all the guys we have see out there contracts and go on frees so long as we start being smarter with who we bring in.

I include Brands and Moshiri in the garbage

Amazing isn't it how quickly Moshiri has gone from the savior of a club with no money to pretty much disliked

Maybe. But finally trying to act like a responsible organization by not spending this summer, while dumping as much salary from the books as possible, would be the first positive sign in years that somebody in the front office has a clue what they're doing.

Not if you're still bringing in players like Townsend

Seems like a bit of a stupid question really, if you're offered 1st of course you're gonna take it.

Short term deal (one year with a second club option year) on relatively cheap wages which provides us depth enough to not get relegated.

Its actually a pretty smart move. just like Begovic. Gray is a little more of a financial commitment, but for 1.5M and 40-50K/week for three year it is worth the punt.

These types of low risk deals need to made alongside more significant investment in youth. I wouldn't spend more than 10M on anyone over 23. That's how well run clubs succeed.
