A lump in the throat when you see the number of Everton players leaving which then relocates to the front trouser when you start to read through the names.
This is that part of year where some biff in Italy has everyone on the continent hanging on his every word all from his mobile phone.

Should expect to hear the names of the heads of departments forming the transfer committee soon, surely. Kinnear all but confirmed this was done. Must all be at other clubs currently, including Hammond. I assume they are all working informally anyway but we need the structure to be ready.

An alternative way of looking at it is to list who is still contracted to be here on the 1st July:
GKs
Pickford
LBs
Mykolenko
RB
Patterson
CB
Branthwaite
Tarkowski
O'Brien
CM
Garner
Iroegbunam
Armstrong
LW
McNeil
Ndiaye
RW
CF
Beto
Chermiti
So, 13 players. I guess you could add Tyrer, Crellin, Dixon, maybe Sherif or Welch but it's slim pickings.
We're going to need players. Lots of them.
Exactly why some players are going to get new contracts who we might have thought wouldn't do... as Moyes and Kinnear have both said, it can't be done in one window. It does worry me a bit that we will need to meet some demands on wages and lengths of contracts that otherwise we would not have done.
Tarks and Branthwaite may not be fit for the start of preseason, so very short at CB.
A good way of being able to see the gaps.
Unfortunately for us all, Billy Crellin is out of contract this summer.
I reckon Moyes doesnt rate Chermiti and he will be going on loan. Patterson too. We are realistically looking at 11 usable players. Between loans, free agents and transfers, we will need 11 minimum
