Get rid of Yobo, Yak, Vaughan, Bily and Heitinga if possible, and maybe sell Rodwell if any one is daft enough to splash silly money out on him. Going by lowest rates we could possibly fetch in over £38m for the lot of them, use £8m of that to service debts so the banks are happy for a season atleast and use £30m on fresh new legs, we could use the outgoing players wages on new players and then kick on from there.
I wouldnt mind us doing that but will Moyes be as drastic, i doubt it?!. If he was i'd like us to go sniffing around the relegation candidates, dependant on who went down and be looking at the likes of Rodallega, N'Zogbia, McCarthy, McArthur, Diame, Moses, Parker, Ba, Berra, Jarvis, D. Vaughan, Adam (very unlikely but would love him, would compliment Felli very well in the holding role), P. Robinson, Samba and Rochina (looks a talent).
After relegation alot of those players values would drop and for what we need and the money we would have after sales, if i was the Everton manager i'd go for Berra, big, young Scottish CB at 5-6 mill. Then its a toss up between Jarvis and N'Zogbia, i think they'll be valued around the same, roughly £8m, i think i'd go for N'Zogbia as he as more in his locker (then again there's the likes of Piatti at Almeria who would be going for that price or less i would imagine at the end of the season after Almeria's struggles). Then i'd probs go for his team mate Moses for around about £4m, £5m tops, and i'd take D. Vaughan for free to make up the numbers in the squad as his contract is up in the summer and he's not a bad player. So going by highist price, thats £19m spent out of £30m already so that leaves £11m for a striker. Now i'd be in 2 minds wether to sign a Rodallega or Ba for something like 6 or 7 mill or look to use the lot on a striker on the continent, someone of the likes of Pablo Osvaldo, Papiss Cisse, Kevin Gameiro, Salomon Rondon, Lukas Podolski (long shot but plays for a struggling, crap Cologne side, might come as cheap as £11m?), P. Helmes, M. Mandzukic, D. Mbokani, B. Ruiz, M. Janko or O. Toivonen. These lot are either in the price range or would come within the price range IMO due to there teams struggling in there domestic leagues.
People will look and think its all dream work stuff but if your brave enough to make such changes and go for it, it can be done i believe. I think its summat Everton could do with, overall changes to the squad and fresh, quality blood brought in. I dont think Moyes will do it for one second but id love to seem him do it and use it as another fresh start at challenging for Europe and domestic cups.
