The summer 2013 Everton transfer rumourZ thread

[hktoffee]

ey lads, Serious question here.

I'm not the brightest in the money department but I'm just wondering, every club is probably in debt from what I was reading somewhere apart from Blackpool and some others.
Why is it only us who worry about all this? Surely Norwich are in debt and they are outspending us?
Don't give me sh1t if I'm totally wrong.

Soton are going to spend £18m on the Roma player and we haven't got a pot to piss in. Maybe our wages bill is relatively high and that is the reason why we can't spend.

We have just got £20,000,000.
Surely we can buy one GOOD striker who is proven or a good CM who can partner Fellaini?
Lets say we get £20mil for fellaini now, we would spend 15 of that and then put the other money towards the debt.
Any other club would just spend the whole 20million on players.

You do have to question why we dont spend money despite TV money growing by the year.

Was just about to post this, so depressing teams like Norwich, Cardiff an Southampton outspending us. If we are not careful these teams will overtake us. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/23750101

If we do have £20m this summer, I would have signed sign 2 good players then sign 2/3 freebie as squad players.

Soton has a billionaire owner.

The problem for us is Kenwright isn´t really rich enough to own a premier league club. That´s why we can´t spend.

These teams are signing some good young players. I am not saying all of them are good but some of them are gems (given the status/reputation of their clubs, with respect).

 

[MartSlinger]

We'll finish AT LEAST 10 points ahead of both Southampton and Norwich despite both teams outspending us. Quote me on that.

Hear this every season year in year out ,those clubs need to spend if they are going to survive in the premiership,their respective squads are weaker than ours.

Yeah surely Kenwright is the problem but aren't we getting massive tv money from now on?

This season yes. But our squad is ageing what happens down the line when other clubs keep investing and we do not.

Do you know where funding for transfers will come from three years down the line? From selling Barkley.

Got to agree with you Mart. Our team is still full of quality players.

In the market place, if everyone gets richer nobody does.

Also, I thought the increase in TV-revenue didn´t arrive until next season?

If we do manage to finish say 7th this season then I do believe Martinez has similar quality as Moyes, that is at least to give stability (top half PL club status?) to this club given we have limited resources. I still have question over his signings. Will he be able to sign gems for low price and guide them to become international players, thus selling them when stocks are high? We all know that this is the method for this club to survive because we are skint.

He inherited a top 6 side from Moyes so for me, if we finish below the like of Swansea and West Ham (yeah how?) then that is quite a failure. I believe that there is a huge gap in terms of quality between the top 7 team and the rest.

Something I can agree with you harris. I do think the team played alright yesterday. The same old, we played well but failed to get 3 points despite the run of play. Norwich were lucky with their goals although our defence lost concentration at the sametime.

The problem with that is though its 2 totally different ideas of how the game should be played. Moyes was happy to get a goal up and defend, or go to away games with the mindset of not to get beat, ie play for the draw. This is not me having a dig at Moyes by the way as we were successful doing it. Martinez meanwhile seems to have the ethos of going out to win every game. Whose to say which is right or wrong for us, but i will say i have liked what i have seen from Martinez so far in how he sets the team out and how they are allowed to play without any fear.

Every manager has to have time to build, this is the problem with so many teams the last few years. They give a manager 8 - 10 games and then sack them. How can anyone do anything in that amount of time? Time will breed confidence and familiarity through the team and club as a whole to the new style that is being rolled out by Martinez. We as fans have to have a little patience as there are bound to be a few teething problems whilst this gels.

It just seems to me HK that you already have made up your mind about Martinez without giving the guy a fair crack of the whip. Cut him some slack and enjoy the new tippy tappy football we are playing, whether that be with Mccarthy or not

I'm already pissed off at Fellaini being sold and the money disappearing once Martinez signs McCarthy for 12m!

Devestating transfer window if so.

First XI weakened, money completely wasted on Kone and McCarthy.

DON'T LET IT BE!

completely wasted...you dont know that lad.
if felli goes i'll bet that Martinez will sign two players with that..other WILL be McC but who is the other one, thats the question
