Even with the new instalment of tv money in the summer, I'd be very surprised if we had more than £20-25m to spend before sales next season?!.
I know we sold Felli (£25m once we gave Standard there cut of the profit), Vic (£4m upfront) & Jelavic (£7.5m cos lets face it, Hull are staying up so we'll get all the fee) for good amounts but a big cut of all that went on McCarthy, Barry and Lukaku.
I know some will say McCarthy wasn't dependant on Fellaini leaving but come on, do you really believe that. And with the way the night went on deadline day, we signed McCarthy for the full £13m AFTER Felli left!.
By all accounts we paid £3m to take Lukaku on loan but im not sure wether that covers just his loan or wages on top?. And apparently were paying the majority, if not all of Barry's wages aswell. I read all in all weve paid between £5-6m to take Barry on loan?!.
So you do the maths. £13m for McCarthy + say £5m for Barry + £3m for Lukaku = £21m.
Take that away from what we got for Fellaini £25m, Jelavic £7.5m & Anichebe £4m which is £36.5m - £21m = £15.5m.
I think the board will put up £10m of the tv money again, unless were in Europe and Kenwright pushes the boat out, and that will leave us with atleast £25m+ to spend come the summer.
But we all know things don't quite go like that at Everton so don't be surprised if we have less than £25m to spend?!!
