Cissokho but if he wouldn't come would love us to go for Luke Shaw of Southampton would be brilliant, only 18 and certainly a future England international If he develops well could probably get either for around £10 mil

then get two CM's in to replace felli and nev someone like Diame who is PL proven for about £4 mil would be good business alongside a top class CDM Capoue or Strootman for £10-15 mil. then use the remaining £15-20 mil on a CB and top quality striker and we are good to go!

Look if we can clear debt at higher interest rates and then take on new debt at lower rates, that's a no brainer.

I haven't followed Everton as much as you all did. But when I watched Mirallas he seemed a player with some polishing to do if you want him on the wing. I believe he can add goals if played on the middle. He's different from Fellaini, that's for sure. But he has other stregths like pace, like dribbling ability and he has a record of fine goalscoring, earned playing in the middle.

I remember Cissokho, form his time in Porto. Good player but I haven't seen him since.

I'd spend the money on very good striker and new center back.

CB might not be the place to go for, unless we sell Jonny. With Stones and Duffy on the bench, they both could fill that role, we just have no idea.

Think what needs bearing in mind with all this is the short fuse most blues have been left with over the years. We have been through the mill and have very little patience left, whoever comes in I reckon will end in therapy if he doesn't perform and he ends up getting all the pent up anger unleashed...

Which would be horribly unfair as that anger should be unleashed at the board.

Not sure whether paying down debt early would be allowed under the various loan agreements the club has.
Any transfer income should go on investment in the team in the hope of breaking into the top 4 and making us then an attractive cheap buy for any passing multibillionaire.

Take it to the Casino and put it all on Black. 45% chance we end up with 80 million.

That,s were bill met pip green in the first place and now look at us.

A lot of the debt cant be paid down, its got a set rate of interest with annual installmments that incurs penalities to pay down, i believe we have a loan due of about 12- 14mill this summer. We got stung on the first half of repaying this loan two seasons ago when we thought we could refinance with the bank and were told we couldnt hence the fire sale, of sellig Arteta, Yak, Saha, Vaughan, Pienaar etc. Our wage bill is getting distressfully big, many of our players are good bang for buck, but many like Heitinga and Neville are on whopping contracts and arent value - our wage bill takes an awful lot of an averagely good turnover of 80mill upwards. The strategy is to buy young good players cheaply and pay good wages - that strategy has now hit a snag with Moyes gone - whatever people thought of him he was very talented at picking the "right" players at a decent price. This is part of my concern for the club overall. Moyes leaving is about more then the type of football we play, or giving youth a chance, he litreally made us 10s if not 100s of millions over his time with us.

Every summer, some of our fans just wanna sell our best players. Strange.
