It's a new dawn
It's a new day
It's a new chance for us, yeah
And I'm feeling good

New owners. New stadium. New chapter. Don't blow this opportunity, Everton.

I don't know who will come and who will leave, but let's start on the right foot.

Can she play right-back, Mark?

If so, yeah.

That Hamer from Sheffield Utd looks good.

He was voted Championship Player of the Season.

Yep, Hamer would be a good low cost option. Bit similar to Ndiaye and Alcaraz in style, but is a player with skill.

Alcaraz, Hamer, walker-peters, lamptey? 35 mill?

Lampety and Walker-Peters are free, but will be a bit of agent fees and sign-on. Not great defenders, but offer pace in the wide.

Alcaraz is £15M, but they're chipping that fee payment structure.

Hamer I'd think is sub £20M. He isn't going to want another season in the Championship. It's just whether someone offers him silly money from Leeds, Burnley or Sunderland.

For £35M, it would be a sensible way to spend some of the money. They'd settle quickly.

Spend the other £65M on two players of good quality in wide right and striker, and a couple of loans.

Ian, aren't you missing an important position out mate? A striker?

I like the optimism though and hope your figure of £100M rebuild budget is accurate.

I'm not even sure if Moyes wants Alcaraz to stay.

Perhaps he thinks Soucek is a better option down the middle.

Grealish on season loan, as long as Man City pay most of his wages, in his preferred centre-midfield role would be a risky, but a great option.

Last paragraph, Steve, for a striker. And yes, I can see a £100M gross spend. There will be some leavers I am sure.

The Friedkins have the cash and, if PSR is in for next season rather than squad-cost ratios, then the increased revenue covers a £20M amortisation charge (£100M over 5-year contracts).
