All he apparently wanted was £37m over five years - or at least his agent did. Which I doubt we will give him.
So +£41mn plus Fazio = +£21m. Damn.
We've also sold Bentaleb for £17m, Fazio and N'Jie as well this Summer.
Levy a very decent businessman indeed...
And 10% of difference in Sigurdsson sell-on fee (4.5 million)
We've sold Wimmer and Walker for £68,000,000 and signed their replacements Aurier and Sanchez for £62,000,000.
To be honest, I really couldn't care less if we end up with a net deficit or profit when it comes to transfers this Summer. All that matters is coming to the conclusion that we are in a better position at the end of the window than we were at the beginning and any issues we had last season have been addressed. Sure, we've lost Walker but if we get Aurier I'd say we're fine there. The fact that Levy has managed to get a £25m+ profit on that swap shouldn't be a stick to beat him with.
I still want a versatile forward who can play play behind the striker, or as the striker. If we get someone like that I think we'll have had a very good window.

No one can argue we have a weaker squad than last year now.
So its looking like:
In:
Aurier, Sanchez, Foyth, Gazzaniga, +1/2 (maybe)
Out:
Walker, Wimmer, Sissoko/Janssen (maybe), and a bunch of other dudes that were on loan and stuff who cares.
If we top this off by selling Sissoko, and bringing in a PACEY WINGER or some additional creativity in the midfield (not to mention Lamela), then everyone on here better be sucking Levy's balls off, because I think that is more than a solid window.

We've only sold Walker as a main player from last season. Once we've signed Aurier we've replaced him with someone who a lot of people are saying is better than Walker. We've also signed one of the best young CBs in world football. How do you work out that we're weaker?
Barkley and Gray?
Sessegson and Mahrez also in mix!
Gray will go for silly money, if at all, and Barkley might be a winter Window one if his injury is real. Barkley is most likely, but I have a feeling Everton are going to lose out on big money for a player they can't use anyway
Read again, old bean.
1) I think you both are in agreement (squad is better), but it reads like you aren't? I get it, the board has been a bit of a cunt off lately - let's not make up shit to yell at each other about
2) I'm sure some people will say the squad is weaker, because, ya know, reasons.
