Its not all bad

Add to that Neville, Cahill, Bily, Hibbert, Anichebe, Denis, Yobo, Heitinga, Mucha, Gueye, we've still got a pretty decent squad and in drenthe and coleman we now have natural pace on both flanks.

 

If this squad can avoid injuries a bottom half finish would be an underachievement.

 

COYB!

None of them players are world class

 

Baines is one of the best dead ball specialists and crossers in the world. And check out what Cahill did against Vidic in the world cup. And world cup before vs Japan. etc etc.

 

Artetas corners and free kicks were over rated. And he went missing for large portions of each games. Baines is fine to score penalties now.

lookin at a transfers site it was 21.5m before tonight since 2004/2005 season...if figures are correct on the sales then it is 7m

 

Some quotes elsewhere stating over ten years it's a net spend of zero. If true there is something seriously seriously wrong. the blue union may have a few more followers after today.

The way I see it we may well have just secured the future of our club without having to significantly weaken the team. Everyone knows about the escalating debts at Everton and something had to be done about it, I thought we were probaby looking at selling the likes of Baines or Felliani to balance the books which would be far worse.

 

We have sold Arteta for 10m, Beckford for 4m Vaughan for 2.5m and Yakubu for 1.5m = 18m. Best estimates (using FM) we are also getting rid of Arteta 75k, Yakubu 55k, Beckford 20k and Vaughan 15k in wages per week =165k per week or 9m per year. So in 1 year the club are saving 27million.

 

So how much has the team been weakened:

 

Arteta: Approaching his twighlight years where his ability aswell as his value is on the decline. The emergance of Ross Barkley has strengthened an already strong Centre Midfield, I thought this was one area we could afford to lose someone, and purely down to age and potential I would rather it be Arteta than Felliani, Rodwell or Barkley.

 

Yakubu - Has barely made an appearance for 12months and would be unlikely to do so if we allowed him to run down the last year of his contract. Not weakening the side at all, this one is a no-brainer for me.

 

Beckford - The one that splits opinion the most. IMO he just isn't a premiership striker and never will be, think he is no better than what we still have ie Saha, Anichebe, Vellios. Looked dreadful playing as a lone striker which is how Moyes likes to play so I think to get 4m for him is a great bit of business, hopefully him and the Yak leaving may give some of the younger lads a chance.

 

Vaughan - When was the last time he played? Into the last year of his contract. Not weakening the side at all, for 2.5m this one is a no-brainer for me.

 

Like I mentioned this is all my oppinion and am sure some/most of you may disagree but I m just trying to look at things positively. Also I have not mentioned the new signings because to be honest I don't know enough about them, am reserving judgement untill I see them play a few games. However I will say I really don't like loaning players, just see it as a short term fix and abit of a waste of money to be honest. would rather see us give our own players a chance, especially when loaning players from foreign leagues, it will probably take them a season to adjust, Edin Dzeko a prime example of that.
