I imagine the leccy bill for the press room will be astronomical.

All the reporters are on those static bike thingys so they can power their laptops, what they dont know is that Elstone is gegging in on the power produce so that the FF kettle wont fuse the whole site.

Is there anything this board cannot foul up ?

Neiler · July 30, 2014

Net spend 32 mill +.

Bilko · July 30, 2014

credit where it's due to Bill and the board

aye well done efc

keep us excited for the new season now with some boss loans.

neil999 · July 30, 2014

satisfactory spend so far(taking into account last years sales) needs to be more spending for it to be considered a 'good' or 'excellent' spend by the board

marchy · July 30, 2014

I don't get the obsession with net spend. The aim should be to improve the first eleven and the squad each season if that results in a positive or negative spend then so be it. Sell well and buy better is the way we need to operate and in his first 12 months that's what Bobby has done, that plus inheriting some astute notes signings means we are now in a poisition where outside of Chelsea and city our squad is comparable topretty MMich everyone else's

Hahahahaha, bringing in a £28m player and you're bleating about the presser delay due to the PL paperwork delay.

You must be gutted

Kev The Rat · July 30, 2014

In reality we've added only 1 player for 4m to the existing squad

This sums it up; what every club does apart from them owned by a sugar daddy

Whilst today has been a great day and signing Lukaku has been truly superb. Lets not let this blind us to the fact that we've been pissed on for over 20 years by our board.

True but the RS, sold Suarez and signed about 6 players - I know which scenario I'd choose!

Freed up two loan spots though mate, three really with Gerry going back home.
Bobby's no fool, he knows what he's doing.

Please don't start with the "
Board is great and credit due etc"
Grinds me no end. Considering what we sold last season signing lukaku is nothing,keep spending
Everton and maybe maybe this board will be looked at diffrently
( try not to sell anyone tho)
