Deco
Player Valuation: £40m
Moshiri has played a blinder start to the window. Couldn't have asked for more realistically.
It genuinely feels like he saw everything that happened last summer, and found it as disappointing/outright not good enough as us fans did. He's gone about resolving all of the issues in a way that isn't through tweeting false promises like you find at West Ham - he's showed us the difference in the business we've done so far.
He's supported Koeman and Walsh with full confidence to ensure that deals happened with speed that is almost Man City-esque. There's no better way to describe it as it being completely the opposite to "Everton, that".
There's some huge things coming up for us in the window - in particular Lukaku and Barkley's futures.
Phil McNulty made some interesting comments today:
These comments sum up the transformation at the club. We have a player worth £100m who could play for any team in the world (and being completely honest, should be playing at the likes of Real Madrid based on his ability), but we have no interest in selling him. He's just a star player at a club aiming to get to the level he dreams of playing at.
The media have picked all of this up too clearly. With the likely signing of a certain boyhood blue, we can really capitalise on this. Lukaku came out a few months ago, saying everything we as fans have said for decades with the lack of ambition we've had.
We're bringing in players who seem convinced in our newly found ambition, and if we did sell our prize asset I'm equally convinced that we will bring in someone who would fit in straight away and score goals (like Giroud).
There's one question that, if the answer is "Yes" and it does happen, would announce to the world that we mean serious business.
Following on from Phil's tweets - there's a difference between forcing a player to stay put and actually getting him to believe in the club's ambition, and after the past couple of great weeks we've had I'm interested to see where the fans stand on this right now:
Will Moshiri be able to convince Lukaku?
