Feels mad to have 3 players in when deadline day is nowhere near in sight. Don't know how much we have to spend but we could be about to miss a trick on the two lads from Hull. Ipswich are in talks to sign them both according to ssn.
We have been linked with them for a while and, although I haven't got a clue how good they are, they both play in positions that we could do with strengthening. Any of the eds know if we have any concrete interest in Greaves and Philogene? Or have Ipswich now become favourites to sign them? Cheers in advance.
{Ed002's Note - Everton have to be very careful about their spending and will need to sell to raise funds.}

This is the worry. Hope we don't miss out.
Sell Onana, get these 2 in, another loan in and be quite happy.
Are we talking 1 big sell Ed IE Onana £40-50million, Calvert Lewin £25million + to address issue or more work required?
{Ed002's Note - Everton have huge financial issues still, so they need to be careful in the marketplace.}

Sell DCL and we'll be fine.

Sell DCL who plays up top?

Greaves is quality. Phily is quality very skillful but goes missing when heat on, gives Demarai Gray vibes.

I imagine we need to do more than sell Onana if we wish to buy players.
Lille have a considerable sell-on clause. I think it may be as high as 30%. I think we bought him for £33 million, so if we were to sell him for around £50 million then it would represent little to no profit.
Dobbin and Tim cancel each other out.
Godfrey fetched us around £10m.
Ndayie cost around £17m.
Seems there is work to do.

Cheers Ed002. I should have said I'm expecting Onana to go very soon, hopefully it won't mean we have to sell him an JB this window as well, to free up some funds. Haven't a clue if only selling one of them will help in all honesty.

Blue nose I may be wrong but I'm sure that the sell on would only be on the profit if as u say we paid 33m and get 50 mil that would be 17 mil profit 30% to lille would be 5.4m so leave us approx 11.6m obviously minus other costs so a little profit hopefully.

Surly after paying the 5.4m that would leave us with 44.6m?

You could be right there James mate. Let us hope that is the case anyway. I guess 30% is a bit steep as a sell-on fee alone.
