Now that we have secured our place in the Premiership for next season it will make this window massive for Frank, many players out of contract and many just not good enough, big changes will be coming looking forward to it.

Hope so Guernsey, however think what we do in the summer will all depend on what’s agreed with the premier league regarding our finances in relation to profit and sustainability.
Can see several big players being sold and not much spent on expensive incomings.
Hopefully some of the out of contract players wages being freed up helps us to exploit the free signings and loan market.
Also hoping Frank still has some contact at Chelsea and can get a decent player on loan from them - Gallagher would be a brilliant signing for us.
{Ed002's Note - Gallagher will not be moving to Everton but Chelsea are aware of Everton interest in Gilmour and Batshuayi.}

I would think 2 of Pickford, DCL and Ricky will be sold to level us up on Ffp whilst giving us a bit of spending money.
I'm not sure Seamus has another season in him so if Frank wants to play 3 at the back we need at least 2 CB's.
Sell Gomes if we can and get another DM to fight it out with Davies for a starting spot.
Rest of the midfield depends on whether Delli stays. Iwobi has earned the right to fight for the No10 spot now.
Townsend and Patterson will be back.
If Ricky goes then we need another striker who can create and score goals.

Cheers Ed.
Be interesting to see if we do get a player on loan from Chelsea.
Wouldn’t really expect us to get Gallagher from Chelsea, but he’s the type of player we need.
gilmour would be an interesting one, hasn’t been great for Norwich but always puts a good shift in for Scotland. If frank could get him to play like he does for Scotland then would be a welcome addition.
Batshuayi not so sure about, I’d assume he’d be as a replacement for DCL and or Ricky.
{Ed002's Note - It may be possible to sign Gilmour on a permanent basis and he knows Morris and Lampard well. But the club would be open to a loan. Michy Batshuayi could prove to be a very shrewd buy at perhaps £10M.}

Maybe it’s time to cash in on a couple of the big earners and bring some younger talent in, who are hungry and build a team around Gordon Myko and Braithwaite.
21 May 2022 16:34:02
Hi Ed, who is ‘Morris’ that you refer to above? .
{Ed002's Note - It should have said Cole.}
21 May 2022 23:29:27
Ahh makes sense, thanks Ed.
Ed, have you heard any news or rumours even around who are new shirt sponsor is for next season?
{Ed002's Note - Sorry, no.}
22 May 2022 06:30:46
Do you have any news on outgoings ed? Think both of Richarlison and DCL will leave? Hence the interest in Batshuayi? .
{Ed002's Note - Jordan Pickford (G) has been recommended to Spurs but they have a much preferred option they will move for.
Andy Lonergan (G) Out of contract in the summer.
Asmir Begovic (G) Out of contract in the summer but will extend a year.
Jonjoe Kenny (RB) Out of contract in the summer.
Yerry Mina (CB) Will be available at the right price. It will be difficult to find a buyer willing to pay a significant amount for him but Fiorentina may offer an option as they look for a Nikola Milenkovic replacement. If Inter were to lose Bastoni, and they are hoping they don't, they might look to him. Milan know that Kjaer will be moving on and provide a more viable option. Everton will look for €20M but may have to either settle for far less or keep him.
Lewis Gibson (CB) No clear future at Everton.
Jarrad Braithwaite (CB) Out of contract in the summer.
Ben Godfrey (CB) Newcastle's interest remains.
Mason Holgate (CB) Will be available to raise much needed funds. Newcastle were previously interested.
Jean-Philippe Gbamin (DM) Everton would want to sell rather than loan him out and there are no takers that I know of at this time. If he were available to be loaned out there may be interest but I suspect concerns over injuries would make clubs nervous.
Fabian Delph (CM) Out of contract in the summer.
Tom Davies (CM) is seen as an option for Crystal Palace if they are unable to secure the permanent signing of Conor Gallagher which is most unlikely. Davies is not being used by the Everton coach and will need to consider his options.
Andre Gomes (CM) Roma offer a viable way out of Everton for Gomes. Mr Mourinho is a long-time admirer.
Dele Alli (AM/CM) needs to get his career back on track and Lampard will work with him to do that. Everton are not looking to move him on but agreed a rather complicated deal with Spurs. If the player were to ask to leave then Everton would take a hit this early in to the contract. The player started well as a youngster under MP but started to slip undeer Mr Mourinho. A new start and a clean slate under NES did not work. The same under Antonio Conte also did not work. The player is in there somewhere and maybe Frank Lampard can do something to get him back on track. Newcastle were interested before and could be again - but they would need to sell themselkves to each other.
Allan (CM/DM) The player has shared a desire to return to Italy and Everton are looking at options for midfield over the next two windows and have a couple of players in mind. The sale of Allen would depend on the price which is falling away and clubs accepting a player who will by then be 31. It might be tough to find a buyer. Given he is in to his 30s he will become harder to sell so could stay at the expense of adding a replacement.
Gyfli Sigurdsson (AM) Out of contract in the summer.
Richarlison (F) Wants his agent to find him a Champions League club. Prior PSG interest will have gone. Will be offered to Real Madrid and Manchester United - but finding a new club may not be that easy. Could be priced out of a move.
Cenk Tosun (S) Out of contract in the summer. Besiktas would like him but his financial demands are seen as high by the club.
Moise Kean (S) Juventus have spoken with his agent knowing that they have an obligation to buy the player in 2023 under certain conditions, or a straight fee this summer if they want to move him on. And the plan is to recover the money due to Everton by selling him this summer. PSG provide an option as an Icardi replacement.
Dominic Calvert-Lewin (S) with Everton in need of adding a striker the chances of DCL being sold unless a very significant offer arises are small. However, Arsenal are still looking for a striker and interest remains. The Real Madrid coach has said he is one of the rare English players who he thinks would take to football on the continent - so there may be interest. Other clubs looking for a striker such as Spurs and Newcastle have other preferred options but they could look to DCL. Manchester United may also provide an option.}

Crikey that’s an awful lot of players that could be going this summer.
From that list personally would hope we keep:
Kenny (back up to Patterson)
Holgate
Godfrey
Branthwaite
Davies
Alli
Would also like to keep, Pickford, Richarlison and DCL but fully understand if they move in to help balance books.
As for the rest in the list I doubt any will be missed if go, but can’t see any of the ones not out of contract being bought by any team.
