Cornish Steve Posted July 4, 2018 Report Share Posted July 4, 2018 Sell to buy, sell then buy, make room then buy... call it what you will. We're back on a firm financial footing, and we're not going to waste money like we've mostly done for the last two years. Why would I worry? It's a good thing. It is amusing, though, to see the spin put on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is amusing, though, to see the spin put on it. I think because historically 'sell to buy' has negative tones with Everton. In fact, 'sell to buy' is used as a negative remark towards any club. We use it against the Redshite and vice versa. So I see why our fans want to swerve that particular tag. markjazzbassist, Matt and EFC-Paul 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Season 1 = Pienaar, Howard, Gibson & Oviedo (deal of the century) plus loans out for Cleverly( later sold), Niasse (was due to be sold), McGeady (later sold), Geri (later sold). Thats a fair amount of dead wood that Walsh got rid of in his first 6 months. Matt and Quinn31 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Romey 1878 Posted August 9, 2018 Popular Post Report Share Posted August 9, 2018 I now worship at the altar of Brands (and Silva). Not saying our signings will be successful, but we had needs and we went out and brought in players to meet those needs. Unlike last summer when we signed pretty much for every position but the ones we really needed. Time will tell if the signings are the right ones but we went about it in the right way which bodes well for future transfer windows. markjazzbassist, nyblue23, Bailey and 5 others 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newty82 Posted August 9, 2018 Report Share Posted August 9, 2018 Any signing is a gamble but so pleased to see that there seems to be a strategic plan behind each signing. Both Brands and Silva have took as much time as they could to assess the squad and give most some sort of chance in friendlies etc. We've filled in some blanks and overall the squad looks more balanced and better equipped to play in the managers way. Impressive intro to the club for Brands...now it's over to Silva to show us what he's got. markjazzbassist 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markjazzbassist Posted August 9, 2018 Report Share Posted August 9, 2018 he's done more in one window than walsh did in his entirety here. like romey said some may not come good, but the effort to sign player AND to offload them is top notch. i can see now why he was so highly regarded.

Shukes Posted August 9, 2018 Report Share Posted August 9, 2018 The guy has done MORE, than he promised. He has looked at positions that we are weak, and strengthened. He has worked without silva to find players that fit his style. As Newty put it... over too Silva, you have a class act to follow and do your bit. Excellent work guys.

You're right of course. A lot of the previous excitement was more about us spending £££ and acting so quickly. I think after years of being subdued Evertonians, we let ourselves go and just enjoyed the moment. Well, I did!!! Comparing the two though, this looks and feels better.

markjazzbassist Posted August 9, 2018 Report Share Posted August 9, 2018 2m loan for gomes (steal) free bernard (wages are high but par for player of his ilk) 28.5m mina 35m richarlison loan zouma 18m digne the loans, free, and digne were are very smart and frugal business. richarlison and mina the only 2 big spends but even by todays standards (keepers going for 70m) they are decent if they perform well. remember bolasie was 25m.

At least this time we also have the option of sending a couple back if they flop. Plus if they do well, we know how hard it is for them to not come back the following year.
