Hey lads anyone else thinking that due to sky rocketing prices in the prem we should be looking for players in lower leagues or other European leagues? Could give better value for money as average players in the prem seem to be going for crazy prices (10 mil plus)!

Read my post from yesterday mate. Things are going to get really silly. Everyone has bags of cash and are holding onto it because players values are increasing. Even average players will eventually move. but for silly money in the last couple of days.

It won't even be just the fees of players, it also won't just be players based in the UK, agents will be all over this. Players know about the increased tv deals so they will demand more wages. This will be the case of any player coming in to the prem.

Silly money is standard fare these days. Supply and demand market with a lot of clubs having money. The best asset have is Martinez who players will want to play for. I commented recently on the Everton budget, which, nobody can be sure about only that it will be small compared to others. Martinez's skill of getting people to play an expansive game outweighs his ability in the transfer market. Europa league requires us to expand our squad. I would be interested to know what a successful campaign, say semis, would do for finances? Getting a bigger squad without success could hurt us a lot in the future. Newcastle and Swansea have suffered. If I had my way I would want to pull out of the Europa league and improve or sustain our league position.

So many people deluded on here, why would you want to pull out of a competition that we have earned the right to be in. We have to strive for something, might as wel finish mid table every year if you have got no ambition. i'm not saying we will win the Europa league but if we do there is a champions league place at stake and the experience will do us good in the long run

I hope so rushjohn. I want Everton to win everything. Maybe I take a negative stance but history of the Europa league leaves a nagging concern.
