Ed, could we afford mccarthy if no one leaves?

bluepaddy {Ed025's Note - yes..

If that is true then it's criminal that we aren't purchasing; Alderweireld and Moses both slipping away.

Not a chance Weil only get a10 million player if we sell, are transfer policy over the last 10 years tells us that's how we operate .

the transfer policy over the past 10 years has not had a transfer window where we have recieved sky money though?! CraigHuytonBlue

Ed, If that's the case (we could afford him), why hasn't he been brought in already?
Assuming, we could afford him without sales then should we expect a £20m signing should Felli leave, or a couple of £10m players?

2 in none out. That's what RM has implied, why dismiss it as false the geezer has not had a chance to say anything false so far. He stated we are in a strong enough financial position to not sell. No transfer requests have been handed in. He also said he hoped for 1 or 2 before the window closes as we have a specific area he feels needs strengthening.
If and when these statements are shown to be false then let's have a go. As for now 4 players in, none have left

in reply to "why hasn't he been brought in already?" maybe the price of a player differs during a transfer window and become potentially cheaper? CraigHuytonBlue

If we can afford mCathy if no one leaves we can't we sign players now?

Ed025 I hope your right. but I can't see it myself after all we are everton we don't do simple! SpekeBlue

Well, not long to wait ed, it's just so frustrating being outspent by all and sundry and seeing our best players plucked from us by unscrupulous parasites, but I guess we're all used to that by now. Life as a blue can be so hard at times but I wouldn't change it for the world.
Here's hoping we do some decent business.
Cheers

I'm just wondering who were Martinez targets at Wigan if they'd have stayed up?
If he is the manager we expect him to be he would've had maybe three or four targets himself. But instead he went back for the other 3 albeit Robles was from Athletico and Alcaraz was free, they were all technically from Wigan.
I'm slightly worried if Ed025 believes we have cash, why haven't we invested it in securing the services of a quality ball playing midfielder and a quality striker. As I would've liked us to send that 30 year old Winni Parks body double jogging on up the M62 to the French Speaking Mercenaries who play for the Skunks and spend £17-£20m on one top drawer
striker, or one equally as good midfielder.
Because if I were Baines or Fellaini I'd be looking for the door given the talent we have on show. Because its only Mirallas and the young kids who've played lately have done so in the Everton way. With pride, passion and flair.
And in that I mean Coleman, Barkley, Deulofeu.
I have to include the 2 central defenders but in terms of the new system, their play out from the back is shocking.
Hope this is posted as its taken me ages and I think it's a fair response to the opening posters question.
