Bailey Posted August 27, 2023 Report Share Posted August 27, 2023 I think you would call that a pretty good window on paper if Beto signs. It has addressed the areas we needed most. Yes it would have been better had the signings sooner but it is exactly what was required (within reason).

The problem is, I think the main three will all be really hard to shift because of their wages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With our current injury crisis, I wouldn't bank on everyone being available! The ability to change things from the bench is also something we don't have. If we can get a deal like the Beto one - payment next year - I'd be very much for it. Sulemana's pace would complement Beto perfectly on the counter.

Surely after shifting a few of our higher earners we are looking a lot better. Last season our wages bill was the highest in the league based on turnover, some reports said it actually exceeded 90% of our turnover. That is the product of club been poorly run by idiots. I remember when Brands came in his remit was to trim the squad and cut wages from then a crippling 82% of turnover, that turned into a huge failure he couldn’t shift players and he brought in more players than any other DoF that’s wages exceeded 100K or more. Possibly to early to put a figure on this season but when it’s finished and all the figures have been adjusted we will still probably be the highest in the league and in the mid-high 80% of turnover.

At least we don’t have to take him at the end of the loan I’m sure we will know then if he’s good enough. so far he’s missed 2 gilt edge chances even though 1 would have been offside.

Shukes Posted August 28, 2023 Report Share Posted August 28, 2023 Fulham we’re the highest on 98% We we’re level with Palace on 95% Spurs we’re the lowest on 57% While the majority of the premier league were around 75% Don't know how we are comparing this season. I’m hoping we have brought it down a bit. Btay and Matt 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The stadium brings so much more money - naming rights, bigger/ sponsors, other no footballing event income, much more matchday income. All this, as long as we’re not reckless the other way e.g offering too many players huge contracts, brings down those percentages. The loss of MSP and Megafon has had a massive negative impact on our finances. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

footywithuti1 Posted August 28, 2023 Report Share Posted August 28, 2023 What's going on everyone, I hope you had a good weekend. Here's a short video detailing everything you need to know about new signing Beto in 90 seconds for those interested. How Everton didn't win the 2 games at Goodison against Fulham and Wolves I do not know, and I believe this fella will put away at least half those chances that were missed. Do let me know what you think and feel free to ask me any questions you may have, cheers! Newty82, KinL and Shukes 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
