Do you know when TFG completed the purchase of Everton FC
That’ll put a different spin on it but might not suit the agenda

Hence why I didn’t count summer 24.

Just accept they have had 3 windows and stop avoiding dealing with the obvious.

So you expect them to come in Mid December and spend straight away
Don’t forget they sacked Dyche mid Jan ( so they were not giving him any money to spend ) and appointed Moyes who had little or no time to assess the squad plus there was no transfer committee in place
Don’t think it’s fair to include Jan 25 in your calculations

Burning ambition…….do me a favour.

I’m not convinced yet but I’ll give them this summer to fill the few holes in the squad
Both full backs and a striker for starters ( sell Beto )
I’d expect 100 m net to be spent at least with Grealish Rohl and George taking up 60-65 million of that if all options are taken up
Sales of fringe players will be needed to boost income for new purchases
But we seem to be buying the right profile of player , young with lots of potential to improve

Let's read this one back Dave :

FFS mate, am I that much inside your head?

So who was responsible for that window? They've been in charge of the club for three windows, that isn't opinion that is demonstrable fact.

They barely had their foot in the door in January and were busy terminating Dyches contract and getting a contract ready for Moyes
No one knew what was going on or what players were needed
Moshiri apart from the stadium ( which TFG finished ) left us in a mess both financially ,PSR wise and squad wise
TFG had a lot of fires to put out before they looked at investing in the squad
I’m not giving them a pass yet , I’ll hold fire until the summer window is over
I’d expect at least 2 FBs a striker and Rohl /Grealish and George if he works out to be signed permanently
Sales of fringe players as well

So we’ve spent £130m and Roma £94m this season. About right

What's the net figures mate?

Umm....they do when you lie about them...

Roma didnt spend 127m in January 2025(according to all the sites I found). They spent 15m. Which would put their spending in the 3 windows as....*GASP* less than ours.

Well, you are right its not fair because its not true. They spent almost nothing in Jan 25, much less the 127m claimed.
