Summer transfer window 2023

Chris Wood + Jamie Vardy + Rodrigo

These are type of players were trying to get rid of !
Totally agree, but in these money is tight times you will probably find we are bringing in frees, loaning ageing premier league players or championship for the season and making one significant purchase, based on whether we can sell some of our fringe players.

Looking at the spine of the team, its scary except for Pickford and Onana/Garner (would have put Brathwaite here, but PSV looking to buy if we agree a price, might mean we have indicated we would let him go.

The endless lists of signings we wont make, or how their contract would be broken down over the period is very redundant this year, its wheeling and dealing time with hapless Kev in the driving seat
 

Was trying to think of relatively successful Everton players that have come directly from abroad in the last 20 years or so. A mixed bag.

Fellaini, Yobo, Gravesen, Digne, Mina (sort of), Rodriguez, Allen, Deulofeu, Gomes (sort of), Onana (hopefully), Eto'o, Donovan (if English-speaking countries count).

(forgot Pienaar)

We don't seem to do a great job - most of our success stories were already here or native.
Coleman !!

If we sell Branthwaite the fees being mooted are £12-20mil.

To sell in that range, or sell at all...the club may as well hoist the white flag.

We just need 2 first 11 signings this summer and a couple of cheap/loan deals...thats all, not to have another scattergun approach.

Jelavic
Patterson
Naismith
Mykolenko
Olsen
Tie Li
Allan
Oviedo
IGG Mach 2
Mirallas



Those all pass at least the “marginally useful” threshold. Others do not: Rondon, Klaasen, Vlasic etc

Everton would be permitted to lose 60-70 million this season if they wanted to. Those were not FFP losses. 170 Million of losses over the last 2 years were attributed to COVID, and according to their accounts at least 20 million was the Stadium.

For example, last years accounts had losses of 120 million, but only 38 million of that was attributable to the club(the rest was stadium, covid etc), and allegedly a good portion of that CAN be included in their add-backs. This years accounts will most likely be net positive unless the revenue drop from position is too big. Its very much a "have your cake and eat it too" for people to bring out our raw losses and ignore the FFP numbers, but then contest raw profit and make it about FFP numbers. The biggest issue is NOBODY on this board, or on twitter knows what the actual number is, because of the confusing way the league lets teams do "add-backs" and other things. Thats why that number has never been published, or known by even people in the media, its a guarded secret by the league for each team.

I thought we had lost like 370m over 3 years ( before covid calculations etc)

And I thought that we are allowed to los 105m over a 3 year period …
