Hi Ed, what's your take on the proposed new stadium plans, they are saying we should hear something in the next few months re a new 55,000 seater stadium, this would be the icing on the cake for this season, also good hard fought 3 points today c'mon you Blues, GuernseyBlue

{Ed025's Note - it would be great if it came to fruition GB, its a great time to be a blue mate..
Err, new stadiums cost money, lots of money. We haven't got a pot to guy rope in and the City Council are chopping jobs and services in a drastic attempt to fall within budget. Given the above, who the hell is funding this stadium? We can't attract the investment and the board have priced the club out of a sale. It's just hot air in my opinion.

{Ed025's Note - it will be investors and the city council who will fund it cadet, along with the sale of goodison, it is real estate mate, which all investors are looking for..

Joe Anderson is a man to be admired and respected.If he says there'll be an announcement on a new stadium SITE, then take it as fact.
As for a new stadium getting built, that will depend on investment, which certainly wouldn't be forthcoming without a decent site for said investors own infrastructure to showcase their wares.

I think drmic has already agreed something with arsenal and I think we could spend 11m on something much better like putting it towards a bid for lukaku and if qpr don't go up remy has a buyout clause of 10.5m and he's only 24 and has 13 goals this season so I would take remy rather than drmic and if we get champions league I think we would have a bit more money to spend. I think caulker is a class defender and would welcome any of those freebies, never really heard of that mane fellow though.

No thank you Ince, Colback, or Drmic, How about Ki, Lukaku and Remy. Ince if not good enough for Palace certainly not good enough for us., Coalback simply not good enough, and Drmic at 11m no way unproven PL player. Ki was was great against us today and would suit our passing game, Remy proven at this level. If we get top 4 we have to go 4 top players.
Lukaku or Bony 20m
Remy 10m
Ki 5m
Barry Free
Caulker 6m Decent GK on loan.
Delu on loan again or someone else if he wants or Barca want him to go. Spend 41m sell 11m we have to spend 30m at least.
sell
Kone 5m
Gibson 5m
Alcaraz free
Joel 1m
Traore release from loan.
To do well on all on fronts you need to spend big and have a big squad.

I'd take coleback and barry on frees, batshuayi for about 10 mill, and put the rest of our war chest into lukaku. Deloufeu back on loan next season, whilst selling nobody, we need to increase squad numbers to manage with all competitions next season. Quadruple on the cards lol.

Ba 7.5m (and sign Lallana)
Remy 10-12m (Sign Holtby)
Lallana 15m
Holtby 5m
Barry freee
Rami free

Like to keep lukaku but think we will b priced out of it so Barry on a free lallana 15m batshauyi 7m remy 10m deloufeu on loan Bruno martins or caulker 7m 39m spent out vellios, gueye, Alcarez back from injury Gibson Oviedo

Dero, you think we should sell Gibson?! Even if we get Barry, he's only got a few more seasons in him, plus people forget just how good Gibbo was before the injuries.

From tha list I would take Barry, possibly Colback and Ince but it would depend on wages with both, iI think both could do a job but would need to be on realisic wages. I would wait to see who gets relegated and promoted before splashing out on the cash. If we could I would like to see Lukaku stay but If Remy or Bony were both available then I think we could attract them both so it would be down to cost. I also like Ba but am not sure he would suit our style of play. One thing is certain ee definitely will need a bigger squad next year even if we bring more of our talented youngsters into the squad.
