Merry Xmas neverton.
Tought you guys said Everton has no money to spend.
They have plenty of money to spend. Their issue was not around availability of money, but on not having much room under the FFP capping limits to spend it.
Well they must have found a way around that
Not having even a dream of qualifying for a UEFA competition helps!
Yeah, they’ve probably realised that keeping the spending down now to keep within the spending criteria of a body whose competition they are unlikely to compete in for the foreseeable future isn’t worth treading water with a shit squad.
I cant remember if they were already breaching the cap or if they had space within it ( I think they may have had space to spend £30m?).
There has been talk of Digne joining Chelsea this window, so we could see one in, one out for similar fees.
Like Prolix suggests, there may be no real penalty to breaching the cap if you don’t intend on playing in European football competitions…
Rafa needs to sell some of those players…
They playing like they want him out and gone…
…he should sell them and break the cliques up… Big Dunc needs a closer looking at also… get rid of Kenwright first and Fergusons support will go in an instant
Either way, they not going to be a threat to us for many a long season yet…
They’re shit.
I have zero sympathy for Rafa he knew what he was getting into.
8th? They will probably get 16th place. Leeds will improve and overtake them in the table
Rafa doing a great job
Beyond all our hopes!
Has Rafa gone full Pep signing full backs like there’s no tomorrow?
Never go full Pep
He was the original. Remember Kromkamp, Arbeloa, Dossena, Aurelio, etc.?
Not fair, he rarely had a pair of decent wingbacks during his Liverpool days.
You forgot the best, Degen.
No he didn’t, but the point remains that fullback/wingback is a priority area for him.
