Maddison out for most of the season, expect them to go for Mcatee or Grealish.

Well if they go for Grealish then we should go for McAtee.

Personally I wouldn’t bother with Grealish. Whatever the cost is to loan him for 12 months is lost at the end of the season, Grealish is no longer an Everton player.
So then the club are back to square one, but then be looking for a player to replace Grealish.
If as reported the club would have to pay a £12m loan fee plus £300,000 a week in wages is just not on. Total wage bill £15.6m plus loan fee equal total £27.6m. That’s £27.6m spen and nothing to show for it at season end. A no go situation for me.
Secondly paying a player that much could cause friction in the dressing room. It’s acceptable at City because the all are highly and overpaid.
Whatever money is available after signing a right back, then go for Dibling and then Macatee.

We should have gone for McAtee in the first place.

Brian. Exactly my view. Luckily we have savvy owners now, no knee jerks from them.
