Just look at who Koeman has already got rid of mate.
No room for squad fillers with this fella.

IF we keep Rom than unlikely any striker that comes in will be a starter. Yet there are positions on the pitch that need big improvements. We aren't far off now.

I am inclined to agree with those who would not spend £55m on Van Dijk.
Arguably the whole back line will be in need of replacement over the next 1-2 years depending on the outcome with Coleman.
But we have still been relatively solid there apart from a couple of poor games.
I would much rather pool than sort of cash into 2 CB's rather than one, we might have to shop abroad for at least one of those signings.
Alternatively, spend it on creativity and goalscoring ability further up the pitch.
Ultimately I still don't think we can attract VVD even if we are willing and able to spend that sort of cash on a single signing, I would imagine we are not.
Koeman and Walsh have a very difficult balancing act to get right this summer - we need numbers and people talk about "quality" but I don't imagine we have the budget to make big signings across all areas.
I hope we can make about six signings - if we pull that off I imagine at least two of them will be for modest fees relative to the others. This is where Walsh should come in.
Priority needs to be given to the needs of the team as a whole - it will be a long season with Europa League football and there should be enough games for everyone. The signings need to be spread across all areas of the team.
We are trying to build a side to complete for UCL but we face into the summer needing a lot of players. Most of the sides above us have been spending big and often for years.
I still think being genuine UCL contenders is probably 3 windows off but I hope we can make the biggest strides towards that this summer. This is going to be the acid test of our transfer budget, readiness, and ability to get deals over the line.

Jermaine defoe on a free transfer would be a very smart move for us. Europe to come and extra games he would be an ideal backup striker if he would agree to join
You're most probably correct, although he has shown on occasions that he's willing to have someone on the pitch to support Rom if necessary.
Also, with the options we've had I don't feel as if it has been a suitable option to play two up front for a long time. A new addition may change this.
Either way, if we keep Rom then it would be once again naive and incredibly risky to start the season with one competent forward once again.
So I'm sure that Koeman will be looking at bringing in at least one player in this position come the Summer whether Rom stays or goes.
I don't really care about those 3 clubs you mentioned tbh. I want to see a resurgent Everton paying no heed or respect to their standing. Get our business done and no excuses.
Could possibly be us? Taken from Newsnow so with a pinch of salt...

I understand what you are saying but so far this season we have scored 1 in each of the utd games and drawn both. One in a draw with city. None against liverpool when we lost by one at goodison. 1 at the draw with spurs at home then 3 when we lost 3-2 away.
The results are only fine margins and we have been scoring in those matches. We took 4 points from those fixtures from teams in the top six. If we had better defenders we could of took 14 with just one goal less conceded in each game.

Wondering if we get say 120 million for lukaku and barkley. Will we re invest less ,the same , or more. If its less or the same how can we expect to challange for so called top 6. We need 5/6 top quality players if those 2 go and thats around 200 mill
The Guardian reporting we're in talks to sign Sead Kolasinac on a free transfer - might have some legs this.
