The Mail Bag

Did we really overspend last season?

I'm getting annoyed by some contributors who seem to think that we overspent last season. Yes, we spent up to £5M on Lescott (£2M downpayment) and up to £8M on AJ (£5M downpayment); however, people are easily forgetting that since the January 2006 transfer window we have sold Bent for £2.5M, Krøldrup for £4M(?), Kilbane for £2.5M and Davies for £3M. So in the time we have spent up to £13M we have also recouped nearly £12M.

Even if you doubt that we got £4M or so for Krøldrup then what no-one can argue with is the fact that Moyes has spent about net £9M in his time as Everton manager and to put it into some context our dear neighbours have spent net £20M net just on goalkeepers in the same time ? Still think we overspent last season ?
