DT Posted 20 August, 2023 Share Posted 20 August, 2023 15m is good business for a striker who couldn’t score goals in the Premier, even from one yard out. Would have been decent in the Championship but always felt that Che thinks he’s a better player than Che actually is. Ah well. Move on. Big time to get some bodies in, or we will all be suspecting the owners’ intentions. Ps noted that Piroe not necessarily out of the question. A new contract just puts the price up. Prem clubs sniffing around. Guess the same with Grimes? Might it be a way of softening those blows? Repairing the Swansea rift? 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As they rightly should, they spent a bloody fortune in the past two windows. We also must still have an enormous and unsustainable wage bill that won’t have been fully addressed by the reported wage drops incurred. We do need to spend some money on new players, no doubt. But it’s been mooted several times that it’s likely to be practically it’s one in one out from here, and I reckon we won’t spend anywhere near as much on players in as those they’re replacing.

Maggie May Posted 20 August, 2023 Share Posted 20 August, 2023 I thought Dyche would get Everton ticking this season but I’ve probably been proven wrong off the back of that. The Everton forum makes for grim reading and I don’t think he’ll have long left. It’s a tricky one for Che. He seems like a Dyche signing. If that’s the case, why risk not being in favour with whoever comes in next if the board pull the trigger? His stock will be far greater helping propel us up the league at the end of the season than it will if he fizzles out in a very poor Everton team.

At best, from this point onwards I think we’ll break even on transfers in and out, and imo that in itself would be a decent result. And I don’t think we’ve yet explored the loan market as much as we could; Burnley last season had 4 players on loan who played 30+ games for them (Tella, Harwood Bellis, Matsson, Beyer) so it’s obviously a decent market to explore.

Dusic Posted 20 August, 2023 Share Posted 20 August, 2023 56 minutes ago, Harry_SFC said: Martin will be gutted. I'm sure he feared we would lose quite a few but like me I'm sure he thought we'd draw a line somewhere. No signs of the money being re-invested yet apart from a midfielder coming in on loan. Rather than gutted he seemed pretty relaxed about it all after the game yesterday. As he and Jason Wilcox have strongly hinted all summer, lots of players will leave. Adams will, KWP will, Sulemana will. Its hardly a suprise or shock to him. As for no sign of replacements, Russell Martin clearly knows more about whats happening on that front than us, so whilst he is calm about it I don't see why any of us should worry. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sfcphilc Posted 20 August, 2023 Share Posted 20 August, 2023 I'll reserve judgement until after the window closes. There's been noises that we'll likely lose Adams, Tella, KWP, ABK and Sulemana for a few weeks now, so it shouldn't come as much of a surprise. If players don't want to be here, I'm all for them leaving once we get the best possible price. Let's see what happens over the next couple of weeks and we can have a proper meltdown on 2nd September if the club drop the ball. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
