We can’t afford to let Tosun or Schneiderlin go now until at least January.
Niasse, Bolasie, Mirallas, Onyekuru and Martina hanging around like a bad fart in a lift. If we can offload them before the end of the European window then happy days.

I think Holgate can be ok with one of Keane or Mina if needs be. Also Gbamin may have to step up. It's not ideal at all. But then I was doubtful we would get everything we needed this window.
That’ll be about 4 lighter come the end of the European window

Squad is a complete mess some good players in it but also some dross and not very well balanced. However it is what it is and time to look forward to the new season.
...no, the squad was a complete mess when Brands came in. Too big, unbalanced and inadequate. It’ll take some sorting and the transition won’t be instant.
Two unused wingers have now gone (Lookman and Onyekuru), for the cost of one that will be used. Bolasie and Mirallas are Walsh residue that has to be cleared.

??? That's one of the squad strengths to me. Cover at every position except CB.

Complete and utter overreaction.

I agree it was a mess when he came in but the minimum they needed was a quality CB and once it became obvious Zouma wasn't available we should have switched our attention earlier. Now we are left with just 2 CBs with cover of a young player whose best position might be RB a CM and another untried youngster.
As for wingers we have the same problem as last season they are all right footed so no variation. CM has improved and FB is better.
...none of us know the CB situation, but here’s my take;
Zouma was the target and Tomori the contingency. Chelsea were not planning to keep both, but decided on Zouma. Everton were led to believe they could have Tomori (reports suggested Tomori had been given the green light to leave on loan). The Tomori deal crashed yesterday when the other CB went on strike to join Arsenal.
Everton were left in the lurch. You can criticise them for assuming Tomori was ours. Strategic targets were not available, so we asked for Smalling on loan and that was turned down. We asked for Rojo on loan but were told he was only available on a permanent.
Rojo on a 3 year deal wasn’t what the club wanted. He’d be an expensive millstone for 2 years when we bring in a player we want. I’m actually glad we took that stance. Ok, we might be in a pickle but January isn’t too far off to do something about it.

I reckon about £650k-700k per week. Mostly depends on how much of Sandro's ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY THOUSAND POUNDS A WEEK we're still paying.

That makes almost perfect sense. Absolutely no place for it on the forum sunshine.

1x Iwobi is our net spend (the £25m fee, not the £40m)
