Is Moshiri investing in the team?

[blue4eva77]

He's probably listening to offers for Davies as we speak.

He's hoping Lookman has a fruitful season. Davies and Lookman will be next off the conveyor belt to be boxed off. That'll fund next summers window.

Sandro, Onyekuru and Holgate 2019.

Evertons model for the last 30 years. He's been spun this particular LP from kenwrights turntable.

I would have preferred if he kicked off the spending by going for a better manager, rather than bizarrely thinking he was getting a rival for the other big names in the north-east as he stated himself

Look at it another way. His backing enabled us to act 1st and not get pushed around. We have gone out and signed most of transfer targets, including those for u23s, with little fuss, and our squad is stronger for It. The Sigurdsson transfer has dragged on, but I'm confident he'll be an Everton player sooner rather than later.

I don't get this net spend argument 1 bit. If you can strengthen without a massive net spend, surely that is a sensible approach, and especially when the players we are selling have made it perfectly clear they don't want to be here. So what, we should just keep them, not play them, and allow them to leave for nothing when their deals run out, just to prove to other people that we're rich and don't intend on being frugal?

Seems like a plan.

Have you seen the bids for Siggurddsson? lollollol

You can't say we've strengthened until you watch them play together for a couple of months, only match I've watched so far is the Genk one and we didn't look great.

The Net Spend argument is an argument that states more spend = more improvement, should be pretty easy to understand.

People need to admit it this is our strategy in the transfer market.

What happens when your run out of £50-90 Million players to sell though?

That's why we have been heavily investing in what we believe to be the best youth talent around.

That youth is feeding the Evertonian transfer conveyor belt.

Why can't Evertonians just admit it's better than Kenwright but it's not what they think it is this new regime?

Look at another way, if we've have done this spending last summer where would we have been now.

 

[Moomin]

Oh dear, i wanted him to be part of a preseason game.

The hunt is on people, i will not reveal him this time. One of you has to step up.

Some hints on tracking this beast, he speaks a load of tosh.

He likes using the following words " Bugger " " Woohoo " and also spells focused incorrectly as focussed.

Have you spotted the beast?

The evidence is in the figures. Check net spend

Now that we've had time to reflect on the summer dealings I thought I would have a look at what the net spend facts came out as, to try and give a fair assessment. Using the figures from this site:

https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/eve...29/plus/0?saison_id=2017&pos=&detailpos=&w_s=

Since Moshiri arrived at the club in Feb 2016 we have spent a total of just under £220m. The money we earned back in sales has been £151m and the total 'net spend' in that time is £68.3m. Since the January transfer window we have spent £170m and got back £101m from sales giving a net spend of just under £70m. And since the Summer we have spent £142m, with just under £97m from sales giving a net spend of just under £46m.

Obviously that doesn't tell the full picture and in the interest of fairness, if the Barkley sale had gone through, then you can add £35m to each of those sales figures which would bring the net spend down to £33.3m overall, £34.6m since January and over the summer just £10.7m. I think what this tells us is that those who claimed that we had broke even since Moshiri's arrival were simply wrong. However, the figures also highlight that we do not have money to burn and we still have to tread carefully with transfers. Given that Moshiri has a personal wealth of just around £1.5bn, compared to Sheikh Mansours £20bn, those expecting us to spend in the manner of Man City are deluding themselves.

What Moshiri has done since he has come in is to have a long term plan both on and off the pitch which includes getting us a new stadium, focusing on youth development, and distributing extra funds for wages and to pay off other things such as the interest free loan, bringing in Koeman and getting rid of Martinez. All of this money is not accounted for when looking at net spend and therefore to make out we are no further on now we have Moshiri instead of just Kenwright seems very short sighted and unfair. Having said that, the net spend figures don't exactly scream out that we are now able to compete with the likes of Man City and Chelsea either and despite the TV money being available, it's clear that Moshiri is having to manage the finances in a sensible manner and still cannot bankroll us in to the top 4 like Sheikh Mansour or Roman Abramovic did.

The fact that we didn't bring in a suitable striker after selling Lukaku, yet spent £40m+ on Sigurdsson suggests to me a fault with the transfer dealings by Koeman and Walsh rather than Moshiri. Moshiri provided the funds to spend £40m on a single player and Koeman and Walsh chose to spend it on a player in a position we had suitable cover for already.

What's the fella investing? If it's his own money then I'd be shocked because it's not going to last for very long. He simply doesn't have the capital to be buying footballers out of his own pocket for us.

Does anyone think he has brought stability to the club, just asking like.

i thought david and bill done that?

 

[toffee matt]

Sacking El Coco cost a fortune and Koeman and Walsh are earning a fortune by all accounts

That should be taken into the equasion too

 

[sageyefc]

No

I would say Kenwright did that, he steadied the ship while sailing in rocky waters, now Moshiri has to take that foundation forward. It took Kenwright years to sort us, and will take Moshiri time as well, 5 years minimum i would say, but he has started very well
