Everton seem likely to sign feyenoord centreback Bruno Martins-Indi for a fee believed to be around £8million and martinez will have a transfer budget of around £35million in the summer. Exciting times to be a blue!

Believe that u'll believe anything. £35 MIL?!! ha that'll be the day.

Well Bluenose, where did you pull 35m from?. You can't possibly know our budget, I think it will be closer to 5m than 35m. If we were to get into top 4 which is very unlikely at this stage, then maybe, just maybe it will be closer to 25m, but to say 35m at this stage is just silly.

Hi Ed, How much do you think we will have to spend in the summer?
If going by reports I think we might have around 40mil to spend and if so I would go for these players witch I think would give us a really good squad.
Barry - Free
Colback - free
Fernando - free
( any 2 of these to add depth )
Batshuayi - 7mil
martins indi - 8mil
Diego Costa - 15-20mil? Not sure on price
Finnbogason - 5mil
Deulofeu - Loan if aloud
and maybe one more loan from Barca
But I do think this could be a realistic transfer window and only my thoughts
What would you say is more realistic and funds

{Ed025's Note - I don't think it will be that high yorkie, more in the £30m range, and with all of that it won't be enough for Diego costa mate..
Was trying to think something of the like the other day, they said last year in the summer we would have a "significant" amount to spend. Say significant is 10-15M?
Working on this seasons spends and outlays we could attempt to work out a very very rough estimate of transfer budget next year
We have sold fellani for 27.5M, jelavic for 7.5M and anichebe for 6M= 41M
Spend this season McCarthy 13M, Kone 6M, Joel 1-2m?, Mcgeady 2M?, loan fees 7-8M? Not to forget maybe 6M for Martinez's compensation = 36-8M
Add the say 15M to the out goings, the apparent amount available = 56M take away expenses = 18M as I said though very very very very rough!

Yes Clarkey, I posted an estimate a few months ago, and it was around abouts that sort of value. but as you say, a rough estimate.
Agree0

Costa has a buy out of around 35 mil and all the big spenders want him and he already on about 100k a week and fernado just got a new contract with buyout of 30 mil but rest i'd go for and lukaku or maybe muriel if he would be willing to come to us
Agree0

Ed are you really saying we will have 30 million without selling any players?
Agree0
Disagree0
{Ed025's Note - yes PK, thats what i believe mate..
Diego costa is beyond ridiculous. He's one of the best strikers in the world now. If he leaves, it'll be for the full £35m and to Chelsea, City, Barca etc. not us. We'll have about £15m to spend, too
Agree0
Disagree0
{Ed025's Note - your right about costa AB, but i hear we have a decent war chest for next season mate, but i suppose we will have to wait and see..

Lets hope so, 6m for kone, joel 1m, mcgeady 500k, loan fees 2m, mccarthy 13m, stanek 350k =22.85m, fellaini 27.5m, vic 6m, jelavic 7.5m, bidwell under 200k?, total=41.2m, 41.2m-22.85m= 18.35m, apparently mccarthy was bought without fellaini money, if true, we will have (including stanek and mcgeady) 32.2m to spend plus added money from the fa cup and our league position, so hopefully about 36m to spend or maybe more, hope so!

I believe it is very likely we have 30 mil to spend next year. The above posters math seems very accurate, but they forgot about the TV money for the past year. If we do have 30 mil to spend, I would love to see us buy:
Martins Indi- 5-7M
Batshuayi 8-10M
Barry- Free
And a couple of loans (Hopefully del boy and another striker)
Save the remaining money to be able to strengthen problem areas next January.

Agree with christian but I would definately want us to sign an extra centre mid with a bit of pace and creativity as we can't rely on ossie and gibbo
Agree0
Disagree0
What reports say 40m?, no chance I think 14m will be stretching it.
Agree0
Disagree0
A lot of theses players that are in high demand will want decent wages, signing players these days is more about the dontract than the fee and poeple thinking bringing in 7 players on 70k wages need to think again, as long as we have fit players next yr il be happy
