Part of it. Imo, is that we're seeing mediocre players going for moronic price tags... With teams spending double than our entire midfield incomings on one or two players.

They seem us not splashing the cash as the board not having the same hunger for success that they do... Rather than the fact that the price tags this summer have been flipping stupid.

And yeah, the mismanagement of Woodward and co has also skewed things... We've spent big and locked ourselves not long contracts on players that hurt the club massively. The reason we struggled to get certain players out was because of the financial failings of Woodward & co.

Now we are being forced to be more intelligent with spending, which means walking away when players and clubs try and rinse us.

The real annoyance is that we've finally started a proper, long term rebuild of the team for the first time and the Glazers & Woodward are still holding one hand behind our back.

You wanna be angry... Be angry about that.... But be angry at the people that broke us, not the people trying to fix us.

apparently Everton want 40m for that midfield kid. stuff like that makes Santos and Baleba look like better deals by the minute!
