Guest HTT II Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 Exactly, half a billion to be a top ten club. However, I think if we spent that over a few seasons, we’d be a top 4 club, especially under the right manager. Everton have shown, though, money alone doesn’t guarantee anything really.

relámpago blanco Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 400M would surely have us challenging the top 4 in a few years. If not, it's not a worthwhile investment from the Saudis because that would have been a 700M investment by them and we wouldnt be worth 700M if we finished 8th every season.

That's because they bought a lot of shite. https://www.transferleague.co.uk/premier-league-last-five-seasons/transfer-league-tables/premier-league-table-last-five-seasons I didn't realise Brighton had such a big net spend. I always think of them overperforming but with that spend they are under performing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gdm Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 Anyone think there will be a surprise come deadline day or are we just looking to do the Bakker, Guimaraes & burn deals with a possibility of revisiting lingard? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeordieDazzler Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 Everton have spent a lot of money but you always felt they were going for players that weren't quite good enough or had been cast off at bigger clubs. James, Iwobi, Walcott, Mina, Gomez etc etc had all shown they weren't the blue chip players by the time they signed for Everton. Was always going to end this way.

I know that. I’m saying it’s not impossible to spend such sums and end up mid-table, as Everton have shown. Again, as I’ve said, I don’t think we would see similar results as them if we were to go on a similar spend.

It's something deeper than just the signings. Gomes started well but has fallen off. James started well and was good when he played but that went sour with Rafa. What they weren't able to do which City & Chelsea did - was sign their rivals best players and I think we should do that. Everton, Leeds, Leicester, West Ham etc. - take all their best players. DCL, Raphinha, Zaha, Rice, Phillips etc. Once we gut them go after Arsenal & Spurs players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
