Hi ed,

Just wondering why all through the transfer window you said we had money to spend regardless of sales. but now the window has closed an we have made money, you have said things aren't great on the money side. How is that? {Ed025's Note - i never said we had no money mate, with sky money to come, i think we have a decent war chest, maybe it was another ed?

I think it was clear for all to see WE HAVE NO MONEY what kind of club offers 12 million over four years if it had not been for the felliani deal going through we would not of signed anyone which is why it all happened so late.
I have always defended Bill Kenwright but not anymore its time for him to walk

I was listening to Radio 5 on tdd and appatantly it's not uncommon for deals to be done this way.

Lay BK, how can you complain about the deals done I'm this window? He doesn't pick who we go for but certainly gets a good price when we sell. Plus Baines is still an Everton player which is fantastic. Hope he gets a good contract now. Shold tie him to a new 5 year £70K a week at least. Make him deputy captain. He's 28 he can enjoy that responsibility. BK is good for us, if we could get investment would still want him in control of the club. Its not easy juggling an old stadium with not a lot of cash and fellow fans on his back. The way he was treated last early season was a disgrace. Would you rather have Johnson who sold players withot the managers knowledge? {Ed025's Note - baines will not take a cut of £5k per week..

Funny that BK is still bein slated even though he's been mooted as a deciding fa for in getting lukaku (due to his relationship with his agent who also reps Mirallas). Also, just because we said pay over four years doesn't mean we're skint. Madrid still owe Spurs money over Modric and I wouldn't say they're skint so wind ya neck in ya Blue Union doom mongerer.

He's not on 75 grand a week ed more like 50 {Ed025's Note - you must know then?..

We do have money, all premiership clubs do. But to quote someone I hate but for once spoke sense, Alan Pardew - we identified several offensive players who were options within our price range but none were better than what we had. You have to buy to improve.

Everton are stuck between a rock and a hard place, fans want unrealistic targets, why would a champions league calibre player come to us just because we can afford him? Transfers don't work how a majority think. The player has to want to come. Mirallas essentially sealed the Lukaku loan in the lads hotel room, just because we as fans want eg Honda does not mean Honda sees it as a career opportunity coming to us. We need to get real about the calibre we can attract regardless of cost

Not that I know of but that what's I am saying give him a new deal, £80K, £85K whatever!

Ed025. Over the whole of the transfer window you mentioned we would make a Marque signing even if we didn't sell anyone, it was your understanding we had money. After the window shut I read a few posts asking you if you thought we would spend the profit made in January! To which you responded 'Dont bank on it mate'. Was that just disappointment that we didn't spend more money? Or was you ill advised? With the transfers and sky money surely we have some money to spend in January- at least 15m? If Kenwright did need to sell to buy then our hopes should not have been raised. Do you think we have a 'war chest' as you have stated recently? You mentioned your contacts are close to the club but I think 90% of evertonians could have guessed what would happen. {Ed025's Note - you do get caught up in the moment, but at the end, the club statement confirmed what i had said, that we were buying Mcarthy whether felli was sold or not, which meant we had £15m to spend!..there will be money for january, whether or not we spend it is down to bobby..

Thanks for the reply ed. I honestly believe the fellaini money can't just go missing this time so yea I agree. It's down to Roberto whether or not there are new faces in january. We may not need any, we may need injury cover. Who knows!
