who would you sign??

[neonleon]

appiah - free (he's been released I think; doubts over fitness but he's worldclass if he can regain his mojo).

M'bia - 9m, or whatever ludicrous money they want for him.

Zigic - loan.

whatever's left can go towards begging moutinho/arshavin/quaresma towards goodison park.

even if the telly money has gone on loans etc. there should be 13m from Fulham, 4m from Faddy and 4m from the UEFA cup. Should have a few mill from the chang deal; combine that with the board finding us 5m or so we should have £25 million to spend - but its classic evertonomics.

Money just runs through our fingers.

Tiago
Mouthino
Fernandes
Hennesy
Mbia
SWP
Downing
Barnes
Surhman
Cana

I think we should have £25m, to be honest. AJ + Faddy = £15m. Add £10m to that, which should be the original budget.

If we could get Downing for £12m that would leave us with a hefty wedge, say £13m. I would take M'Bia for £8m, merely because he's been bleating so much lately and seems keen. That leaves us with just £5m as a down payment on a striker. If we can borrow another £5m, which I'm sure we could at a push, then we can address that department. A couple of loan deals might be the way forward as well.

I think Manny is well and truly off the radar now. And to be honest, unless we have been chasing him all summer and we just don't know about, If I was Manny I would tell us to go and stuff another offer. I know he let us down but we seem to only go for him when other options fail. Sad, because we could have had a decent prospect on our hands.

True, I just want us to sign him. We definatly need more than one centre mid. A creative one would be nice to give us more options.

Are you on glue? I wouldn't even give them my big bag of walkers sensations for him, he is gash.
I would honestly go for moutinho m'bia and zigic on loan. Ross has said moyes had £17million before the AJ sale, so we should now have around £27million minimum. Just blow it on the mout and m'bia, a striker on loan and we will be back in contention for 4th IMO.

At this point, I don't think beggars can be choosers.

I'd take Alan Smith or Jimmy Bullard at this juncture.
