If he did, he would break records left, right and centre. Yeah exactly, at the start of last season most people (myself included) thought Lukaku would get 25+ for Chelsea - hard to read too much into one game. Like you say though, if he plays 35 games he'll surely break the most goals in a season record. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wymsey Posted 9 August 2022 Share Posted 9 August 2022 He may well be a decent player, despite never watching him play, but Everton don't do things cheaply. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/62432408 It's going to be a very big season for them, and will definitely test Lampard's managerial credentials.

StanSP Posted 9 August 2022 Share Posted 9 August 2022 How do Everton afford to spend so much on signings each season without any kind of success? We had European money to support us but they've had fck all. Is it all purely owner investment? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was wondering why Everton were singing a new keeper when I heard they were signing Onana... whoops. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe they are under investigation for it, I’m sure I read that somewhere. The new rules seem to be about wages and although they spend a lot of transfer fees I believe we have a significantly higher wage bill than them which could explain this seasons activity.

So they can ignore the rules as they won't affect the club for a good while. Either that or they've got some quality sponsorship deals on the go haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This season specifically they sold Richarlison for 60m and used that for Onana, McNeil and Tarkowski, plus loan moves for Vinagre and Coady. Will be interesting to see if that is enough. DCL is out for 3 months and Richarlison kept them up last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must say I forgot about the Richarlison sale I think we may see some loan to buy next summer deals towards the end of the window if we do manage to get some players out. I'm just worried who they might be Since someone said Tyrone Mings the other day I'm convinced that will now happen Also scared we may get one of Evertons unwanted centre backs now..Michael Keane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must say I forgot about the Richarlison sale I think we will use the loan market, like we have done in the last few seasons for Under and Lookman. I also think when push comes to shove at least one more fringe player will leave. Teams always get desperate toward deadline day and pull the trigger. We might even get desperate if we were near the bottom of the table at that time and flog Fofana to buy more players, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It helps no end with their turnover as their unwanted academy players all go for £10m + whereas our first teamers are often touted in the press for £20m or so.

Nalis Posted 9 August 2022 Share Posted 9 August 2022 Premier league football is fvcked. If you qualify for Europe you need to invest in squad depth. If you dont qualify for Europe anytime thereafter, you end up having a bloated squad. It's going to get incredibly difficult for any team outside the Sky 6 and soon to be Newcastle to qualify for europe in consecutive seasons as a result moving forward.

I think the PR line is 'oops, clash' when in reality it's another massive Castore cock up and they've not got they 3rd or away kit yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
