I think most people taking this the wrong way. Obviously our squad is too big so we need to sell the dead wood before we buy. I don’t believe we have to sell to afford to buy.

I expect up to 15 players to leave from those listed above be it sold or on loan if Brands can find deals for them (he rightly points out that PL wages are a barrier). Brands is impressing me so far but he'll have to be a magician to get decent value from some of the dross he needs to shift. Good luck to him.
Factor in 4-5 coming in for a net 8-10 squad reduction. I think when the dust has settled we will see a modest net spend of £20-30m to add to Moshiri's £150m invested so far but a 25% reduction in wage bill. The latter is the primary need driving the cull as it is not sustainably affordable under PL rules for us.
I know sell to buy sends shudders down Evertonian spines but Moshiri has to hit the reset button to try to get us to where we should have got to last off-season. Everything about Brands suggests we are returning to something closer to the Moyes philosophy of careful scouting, tight knit squad plus the Martinez virtue of young players actively encouraged and developed.
Brands will be working with more resources than Moyes ever had. He just has to convert some under-performing players into cash to get things moving. It is painful but exactly what we need IMO. An absolutely necessary rethink and reset that may see us struggle a bit in transition next season but should put us back on a better path for the future.

Issues
Stek - if a new keeper happy to play backup is found, again.. probably fits the M.O to keep
Williams - maybe but we'll be subsidising wages
Mori - fans dont like him, but one of two who fit in a high press. better chance him staying especially only for 10m
Pennington- new contract just agreed
Macca - fitness
Klaassen - wages, already indicated he wants to stay
Mirallas - wages
Bolasie - wages / may want to stay / may be deemed as required. see: Mori
Sandro - will probably be subsidising wages
Niasse - can see this being as likely as any to leave as he actually has value.
Taking in major losses on players has consequences. 5-6 big earners to leave max. Id be willing to bet they will start with those who dont give a damn. Schneiderlin, Mirallas, Sandro and Williams.
Then you start talking about Brownings and Williams' etc.
10 out absolute tops.
Seriously concerned about this - we have absolute garbage on our books currently

I don't think its quite all the players on this list, because 38 players were mentioned and I think that's 43 in the list below, I think some are in the youth team and would stay there but for me I would sell the following
That would be 10 players out and other than Rooney and Martina, I don't think we would miss the others. I also don't think we will get good money for these players, but getting them off the wage bill would be a good start.
Others (Like Bolasie, Schneiderlin, Williams, Klassen, Sandro, etc) can go if we get replacements for them. We also would need a LB and CF, to replace Martina and Rooney

the sum total from that long list that is quoted here isnt far off 50m per season in wages
Given the length of the transfer window this year I must confess to being nervous about this. Can we really afford to wait 4-6 weeks before starting to bring players in? Not really.
As you say, he's also knackered our negotiating position by making this clear.
I'll never understand why the club feel the need to give a running public commentary on such matters.
After finishing 3rd and 4th and reaching cup semi finals and finals, but alright.

We won't be clearing all those wages though. No doubt if we ask people to leave, will be subsidising. Mirallas, Bolasie, Klaassen etc in particular
Blame Koeman and Walsh.

15 i think minimum...
Mangala / Robles / Henen gone already
Rooney (on the way)
Garbutt (pointless)
Browning
Galloway
Jones
Grant
Mirallas
Pennington
Thats 11 players already gone.
Its madness how many there are...
When we add in the possibles of Williams/McCarthy (if someone takes them) and Klaassen, Mori,Schneiderlin thats 16.
Its like an enless list of rubbish players...and then we have the 'Grime rapper' Bolasie...

It's such a weird mindset from some of our fans. Complete desperation for us to be badly run, always skint, clueless owners and on the verge of disaster. The mental gymnastics some of them use to be as negative as possible is quite staggering. It must be so tiring being that negative all the time.

To the lot of yous that are fuming about this "sell to buy" nonsense, would you rather we keep all of the rubbish players on massive wages and then add more players to increase our squad size even more? Hes not saying we don't have the funds to buy more players, hes saying we can't buy more until we get rid of the dead weight. Our squad is already massive and filled with horrendous players.

The ones you are listing are the easy rids though champ. Robles was gone when we signed Pickford, Rooney was doomed from day dot, Mangala was a loan and didn't Henens contract expire?
The rest are on fat contracts. Mirallas, Macca, Klaassen, TubbyW Bolasie etc.
And Moris currency in Europe doesn't match his capability. More financial sense keeping him.
Sandro and Schneiderlin probably a bit easier to get rid of, because like Rooney they want to leave.
