  Annika Herbert in Is there room for a statement signing at Everton this summer?
• It's easy saying get rid of players but you have to find better, it ain't easy. I don't think we can afford wholesale changes, I'd keep gueye for another season if he would sign, Grealish for another one. We need Patterson as a back up although that's debatable, also keep our two centre forwards, was it 17 goals between them, that's not bad at all. We are overstocked in midfield, but I don't dislike any of them. Branthwaite can't be relied upon to be fit, Tarks and Keane have seen better days so for me we need at least one other central defender, or maybe Rohl could play there. Obviously we need a good right back but there again they don't grow on trees. Also a lot depends on if Moyes thinks Dibling and Aznou are ready for the first team...
  Raymond Fox in Is there room for a statement signing at Everton this summer?
• To answer the title of this article: Yes! Not 1 statement signings, but 2!rnrnLet me explain my thinking:rnrnNdiaye is wrangling to leave for a CL club, and I think if we can get 60+ million, we should deal. I would also sell McNeil, Barry, Patterson, Iroegbunam for a total 60 million, so that we get about 120 million.rnI wouldn\'t sign Grealish - other better options are available.rnrnMy 2 statement signings would be: Christian Kofane (Bayer Leverkusen) as our main striker for about 45 million, and Doue for about 40 million for right back. I would also try to get Bowen for about 25-30 million. This would take our spend to about 160 million - including the amount paid for Hackney, George and Rohl. So that would mean a net spend of about 45-50 million, which should be achievable.rnrnThe squad:rnrnCentre Forwards: Kofane, Beto (+1 more on loan like Evan Ferguson?)rnForwards/Wingers: Bowen, George, Alcaraz, DiblingrnMidfield: Garner, Hackney, Dewsbury-Hall, Roh...

• I think some of you posters have been on the beer still from Monday morning.rnrnTop players ? can still have their potential ruined or put back with the wrong managerial appointment, Mainoo at Utd anyone before Carrick came in ? I am sure he feels safer and secure that if he puts it in he gets it out on the field. rnrnSafety and security is paramount were talking about careers here not the finances, because you want someone to have your best interest at heart, help you develop, you need a safe pair of hands.. Do non of you understand why Pickford is still at Everton ? Branthewaite, Garner signed new contracts, Grealish appreciation the the Manager and so on. They all trust him ...
