Will be interesting to see if all this spending is with money already earmarked or money raised from selling Rom and possibly Barkley

The way events and quotes have shaped up I'd say we've already "sold" Lukaku but so as to not hurt our negotiations we're doing our business first.

Hes living the life we all want, of course you hate him, its a natural human emotion Van Frandelino.

Does sending out a delegation to have a casual chat bout a variety of players from a mixture of clubs count as :

'Mulling over a move'
'Considering'
'Expressing interest'
'Pondering a bid'
'Readying themselves'

Or none of the above?

Just trying to work out with this fits with the last 40 transfer windows I've had to sit through as an Evertonian

Steve Walsh got kicked out of the meeting when he started telling AC Milan that he diacovered Zola at the age of 29 and he invented Pizza back in 1972.

I don't know about any of all that, but I can't wait for us to 'open the warchest'.

Player trading is inevitable. Nearly every single club is doing it in order to strength their squads. It's not as simple as money out minus money in on transfers equals your net spend. It's all complicated by wages, player amortisation over the length of a contract, value of academy players as assets etc. Unless you're an accountant with a weird hard on for this stuff there's no point getting into money. The only question, regardless of the sale or retention of Barkley and Rom, is do we have a better squad or not than before?

This 'Moshiri's just spending the Lukaku money' argument is ridiculous as it doesn't actually make any sense. A better indicator of Moshiri being serious or not is our wage bill, can we get it to the levels of Spurs and Liverpool etc. regardless of our net spend.

Oh, I meant the CB 1.

Dunno which 1 @Neiler meant!

The CB is pretty crap. He plays for Milan.

The Zapata our scout was supposedly on about is the one at Napoli. He was on loan at Udinese last season. He's a striker.

Steve Walsh and his old Uni mates went out on the lash - Ended up on a cargo plane to Milan - they've all been caught checking into their version of the 'Formule 1' hotel

Formule 1 hotels bring back grim memory's of my coach driving days.
