As Nymz said, I don’t pay any attention to net spend figures because even that is all dependent on what you’ve spent and who you’ve bought previously. The thing that kept Newcastle’s net spend down last summer was the fact they sold a player for £130m, but they spent about £65m to bring that player in a few years ago. Do you see us spending £65m on a player any time soon? Because that’s the level we’re looking to compete with. If we sold Branthwaite last summer for £70m our net spend would’ve been lower, but our performances would hardly have been different because he’s been out injured all season anyway. Net spend is just about book balancing and complying with financial rules and not relevant to the improvement of a squad.
How we spend it is the main part.£100m is the absolute bare minimum amount we need to spend in the summer if we want to have any chance of improving on our current league position, when I look at the teams around us and what they’ve spent/will spend.
Well, I did stay it's still not a lot.But that's literally the whole point? We haven't been spending that money so it seems like a lot to people because it's way more than they're used to, that's why they're talking about it. You're just hammering home the point while suggesting you're refuting it.
This. If we have a net spend of 100+ each of the the next 5 years, that's a lot.As Nymz said, I don’t pay any attention to net spend figures because even that is all dependent on what you’ve spent and who you’ve bought previously.

Yes it was two -three players Dibling the left back hardly kicked a ball & Barry is Bermie Wright mk 2 Good signings KDH & Grealish (now Injured) are the only two plus signings ....not a lot for 100 million plus add ons to come !
DM was famous for bargain players - 2 out of 6 is poor for him imoye not a lot for it as 110
doesn’t get you a lot
we
have time for dibling and achoo
joey stop the !!

Nope just a reaction to this below. I thought we played ok against Arsenal but its the same old story with Moyes.What unbelievable nonsense.
The reason all the other managers didn't win at these grounds is also Moyes' fault.
These are all very normal reactions to losing to late goals away at the league leaders.

Have either of the two managers you’ve referenced ever took over a club that annually faces the drop and made them top 6 regulars with a very limited budget under the stewardship of Bill Kenwright or similar?Nope just a reaction to this below. I thought we played ok against Arsenal but its the same old story with Moyes.
David Moyes has now won just 𝐎𝐍𝐄 of his 77 Premier League away games against Man United, Liverpool, Arsenal and Chelsea:1 win
21 draws
55 losses
Its all Betos and Barrys fault for being crap, BTW Moyes was here when we signed Barry.
Just to add the mighty Sean Dyche has won the same amount against the big 6 away with Notts Forest. He was there for about 4 months.
Hurzeler has double the amount and has been in the league for not even two seasons.
Im not saying I would take their managers im saying stop making excuses for Moyes (Not you but in general) who's had 77 attempts to win away and has won 1.Have either of the two managers you’ve referenced ever took over a club that annually faces the drop and made them top 6 regulars with a very limited budget under the stewardship of Bill Kenwright or similar?
Moyes took over Everton in 01/02 when we were on the verge of relegation and left us frustrated with missing out on top 4, he’s again come in where we haven’t finished top half for half a decade an after a weekend loss we are still top half with 8 games to go.
There’s not a fan on here that thinks he’s a long term solution, but Brighton has gone backwards under their manager and ultimately after doing a decent job at Burnley, Dyche was sacked when they were certain to be relegated, some absolute nobody took over and they won 3 on the bounce and almost survived but didn’t.
As said, Moyes isn’t a longer term manager for Everton, but he’s done a very good job AGAIN for us.
It’s weird that you would seemingly swap some away wins at top 4 clubs for what Burnley and Brighton are currently doing.
So essentially you’re attacking Moyes for not winning away at top teams and not the points that he manages to amass? Fine. But recent net spend shows that Everton are 18th in the PL over last 5 years and his first tenure was under Kenwright where we as a fanbase use “net spend” so much we were mocked about it by rival fans.Im not saying I would take their managers im saying stop making excuses for Moyes (Not you but in general) who's had 77 attempts to win away and has won 1.
He doesn't try to win at these grounds and that's my point, if he did he would have had more than 1 win in his career spmanningover 20 years.
He has done a very good job since coming back im not denying that but I don't think he is the man to take us further than where we are now because of the above, he will always be an underdog manager. That's what he is and that's fine but don't expect consistency or silverware (Don't come at me with European Zingari league trophy), just expect a safe pair of hands that's it.
He has got us in a healthy position for someone else to take over and take us to the next level.
Would you be happy to trust Moyes with new money to spend next season, I wouldn't, especially when we have so little to spend.Fair enough, agree with pretty much all of that.
What I will say is I think the money we spent last summer could and should have been spent better. I don’t think we’ve got value for money out of a single signing apart from KDH. I’ve been consistent in my opinion that we had a poor window and that’s why I think we need to spend the bare minimum amount again this coming summer to correct it. With the recruitment team being fully in place since September there’s no excuses.

Huu‘
It may be the opposite…Mr Barry will send Dave packing…
