It's not just this summer but over a few transfer windows before we can get the right players in to challenge not only for the UCL but the title itself.

This nonsense about £300m or £400m in one window is a pipe dream. It would have to be staggered over several windows.

Real questions are can we attract the players we need as the teams above will spend big too and are we the fans patient enough to wait ?

It was over 5 windows if you read it.. so £60M plus Net Spend per window.. pretty much what the 2 Moneybags teams do all the time, no!?

Of course we're light years behind Chelsea - apart from Cahill (who joined about then) their side has been rebuilt in the past 5 years (David Luiz left and returned). Basically they shipped out Torres, Cole, Lampard, Terry (this summer), Essien, Ramires, Branislav, Cech, Malouda, Mata, Mikel, Sturridge, Lukaku (whom they might want back), Bertrand and others who came since and went like Schurlle and Oscar.. They have the power to churn their players over and replace them with new blood - like Hazard, Pedro, Courtois.. their current squad and whoever they've got out on loan.

So we could forensically go through all the Spurs, Chelsea, City, United and perhaps Liverpool and Arsenal squads and compare their depth to ours. For us to be consistently their equal we need to think about shifting nearly all the established first teamers and maybe a few of the youngsters. Right now if you ask me "who, presently on our books, would I WANT to see still in an Everton shirt in August 2019" (start of next season plus two) giving us 5 windows to resolve.. and accounting for age, ability etc. then I say - with good fortune (wanting to stay etc)

Definitely: Tom Davies, Romelu Lukaku
Probably: (barring significant upgrades to side greater than present): Morgan Schneiderlin, Gana Gueye
Possibly: Seamus Coleman and Ross Barkley, Leighton Baines at a push

Young players worth persevering with: Lookman, DCL, Holgate, Walsh and 2 or 3 others who haven't been given a chance yet

The rest: Too old, injury liable or just not good enough..
Robles, Stek, RFM, Williams, Jagielka, McCarthy, Barry, Besic, Deulofeu, Cleverly, McGeady, Henen, Mirallas, Bolasie, Lennon, Niasse, Kone and the rest of the kids (definitely to include Garbutt, McAleny and some others I'm not sure about through lack of first team exposure)

So, get the cheque book out basically as "the rest" will only bring in about £50-60M tops and, by my reckoning we need to sign about 12 to 15 players over that timeframe. Let's say £300M NET SPEND is needed to get close to the top 4.

If we're talking 2019 and if the players continue improving;

Davies, Barkley, Lukaku, Schneiderlin, Gueye, Holgate, and Coleman.

Should be the only ones in the entire squad.

That's not to say others like Lookman, DCL and others cant improve to that level.

Holgate/Coleman..............???..................................???..................???
Davies......Schneiderlin......Gueye
Barkley.............................................???
Lukaku

This to me looks fine and I think very differently to koeman...he said after the game that we lacked goalscorers. Fine, but we shipped 3 goals and it could have been more, We need to splash out big time on a top keeper and 2 star centre backs.

We can get a left back next summer. Add in Tielemans to those 3 signings and the first 11 looks great.
 

It's gonna be too much of a big job money wise to fill all our desperate positions this summer if we want to keep Rom for another year.

We're at the point now where we need to spend big in them positions to play catch up on the top 6 and realistically how much are we gonna spend if we keep Lukaku? 60-70m??

A new keeper is imperative (Pickford, Hart, etc 15/20m)
Centre Back we're pretty desperate (Van Dijk, Koulibaly would be nice but looking around 50m) Realistically we're looking at players like Keane (20m)
Att Mid is what Koeman wants (Sigurdsson 30m)

That's without adding much depth to the squad, gonna be a busy one next season and we'll need to add a few body's to beef the squad out to cope

I'd love to see us in for Keita from Lazio if there is anything left in the tank, looks the business

...I didn't post the actual link because it's a publication we don't like but it is a bizarre one. It says we've gone ahead of Celtic in the queue for this lad. He's never played for Nigeria so work permit could be an issue (less so in Scotland apparently). £7m quoted for the 19 year old.

Remember the name - Henry.
