Everton transfer challenge made clear by size of squad starting critical period

David Moyes is embarking on one of the biggest squad rebuilds of the modern era

We all knew it, but it only really hits home when you see it written down like this. That contracted squad right at the bottom is frightening. What particularly jumped out to me was a chronic lack of quality in central midfield!

Do I understand it correctly that if we push through, say, a £75m sale of Everton Women to ourselves, that frees up the ability to spend £75m additionally on transfers in the current PSR year until 30th June next year, assuming our current position was that we could spend £0? If we were already looking at spending £50m, it'd up that to £125m?

Get them sold ffs, and Goodison. Then buy Finch Farm and sell that too.

This is only allowed for city and Chelsea - we’d punished as a one off example before it was made legal and all other clubs can do it

Happy transfer window day!

 

[jackyboy]

Have we signed anyone yet

What with Goodison and Everton women being worth £456,987,479,321.52p and being sold imminently, I am expecting a decent transfer window.

Go and get ALL the players, our supreme Yankee overlords, please and thank you.

I don't think we'll see any movement till the start of August.

Not disputing the article, but The Echo excel at presenting facts as news. They'll spend the next two months rehashing rumours from other sources and downplaying them. They're very good at staying the obvious, or whom we won't be signing. Very good indeed.

I think there will be plenty of movements within the fan base long before then if we haven't signed anyone by the start of August

I've read the tea leaves...August.

From a PSR perspective I believe it to be much more than that as incoming player transfers are amortised over 5 years (or less depending on contract). In theory a £10m windfall would allow us to buy a player for £50m as the £10m is what would be paid this year.. we’d obviously need to be able to afford the £10m next year and the following 3 years after and it may impact spending in the future, a bit like a mortgage I guess.
So in theory, a sale of £60m *could* give us some unreal spending power (assuming we are clear of any current PSR issues).

Obviously RW & CF are the 'glamorous' positions. But we need one or two players to come into the middle to evevate the whole team.

That may be today or an elite young player to gradually take the mantle as a starter. But we need serious quality.


"World class players, for a world class stadium"

Didn't he say "Elite players for an Elite stadium".

 

[brieverton]

I recall the colour coded player lists that Moyes had in his office twenty years ago and if that was the case then, it's going to be much more sophisticated now.

To take a guess, and across the positions, surely there are 40- 50 players under consideration at the moment, and fall within budget, availability, and the correct profile.

How far they have to work down the list is the thing that takes up time. And of course the quality of the options presented.

Moyes has a preference for domestic experience and for some positions at least, that will prove a limiting factor, and unless it's loans or free transfers, will also be more expensive.

If time goes on without much developments, there might have to be some compromise.
