Player Valuation: £8m
You'd wonder what the remaining budget is. How many more £25m-£30m signings could we afford? I'd guess 2. And have funds leftover to do loan deals?
Obviously there are some funds available and it's because of that primarily I expect to see more players arriving. Just when is the case.
I imagine TFG don't provide easy sign-off on deals and they will clearly want value for money. It would be very hard to envisage funds being left unused though, on the basis they couldn't attract their targets, and couldn't find any others worth pursuing.
Unspent cash / failure to invest would be quite the irony for Moyes of all people, and would be a bad look for Kinnear. So if nothing else, I see that money, whatever it amounts to, being disposed of eventually, or the lions share of it.
And they'll be busy in the loan market but again here, deals may not be possible until very late.
TFG must be taking an interest from afar. To be a fly on the wall on their conference calls.
All very good points and unlike previous windows it won't be lack of budget that might be avaiable, moreso we still have a PSR ceiling over us, without having PSR issues per se, until commercial revenues increase far beyond current levels we will still be limited what we can spend rather than the skint scenario post Carlo.
Quite right as you czn imagine TFG wanting minor oversight You can possibly also imagine reports going in to the owners from the transfer team via the Executive Team at key points in the process.
TFG want to make Everton a profitable entity amd they will not get there by keeping the wallet shut. If Hammond and Kinnear do struggle to get deals done, it will be them in the firing line amd the owners will have largely unhappy fanbase, potentially a manager considering his future and broken promises to key players.
DM has set out his wants, the owners their strategy, even if no definite promise to fans laid out directly.
We of cpurse know little to fully trust TFG but it seems unlikely, although still possible, that the 'not done side' for this window will be larger than the 'got done' list .
