do u know what, i think Everton have learnt from last year. everyone new we had money to spend last year, and it bumped all prices up on players we were after. this year, im sure they have the same amount of money, but have learnt not to tell every man and his dog. it wouldnt suprise me if we had 18million to spend. 8.5 on AJ, 5 for lescot and some squad players, plus signing on fees.
