Doucoure

unless they were all 10 years younger but then they wouldnt be at Everton
£15m tops for DCL
£10m tops for Keane
The rest are on loan
We'd get money for Ndiaye, Branthwaite, Garner, Pickford, Iroegbunam, McNeil and a little for Tarkowski
The fact that of the 6 outfield players mentioned, 3 are currently injured with 2 of them hardly playing all season has definitely not helped things

of so many in the squad, which is by design for the most part and actually an opportunity for the summer if we stay up. Previous Message
other than Beto we've not spent more than £20m on a current player since Ancelotti was here
And that Beto price is highly inflated because we had no money to pay them
Lets put it another way
If you put every player up for sale we'd struggle to get to £125m whereas other clubs who've been relegated recently have managed to raise £150m to £200m in player sales, certainly the sides who went down 2 years ago, Leics, Leeds and Soton when really we should have been relegated Previous Message
His last sentence wouldn't have been true if we'd started Michael Keane and Beto in place of Branthwaite and DCL, but who would do that notwithstanding tonight's errors. Previous Message
Reality is we are not getting 5 players in, certainly not 5 who will walk straight into the team.
If we are getting 2 in priority has to be right winger and left back. Harrison and Lindstrom aren’t good enough and Mykolenko just doesn’t offer enough going forward and we need an upgrade. Previous Message
the only players who should be starting are keeper, the 2 CB's, McNeil and Ndiaye
the rest offer nothing
Not one of our players gets into Villa's side tonight
The 2 players they bought from us were probably 2 of their poorer players but they spent more on them than our starting 11 cost
