I've put some thought into our target for a league finish this year, as well as the transfer window this summer. It's an exciting time to be an Evertonian, and I'd like to hear your thoughts.

League Finish

I say we win the league, but I’d be okay with getting into the Conference League this year (7th place finish).

Summer Window

Assumption: €70m to spend per a random article last month. Anything less is a tad depressing. Could be bolstered by anticipated UEFA revenues (€3m participation/€400k for a win, €133k for a draw). Using Transfermarkt.us for ballpark values. Significant factor that isn't in here is wage bills, which I'm not smart enough to understand.

Transfers Out

Let go: Seamus and Myko.

Sell: McNeil (+€15m), Patterson (+€6m), Beto (+€20m)

Total: +€41m. Players Out: McNeil, Patterson, Beto, Seamus.

Transfers In

Extend 1 Year: Keane, Gueye

With those outgoing players, we need: 2 RB, 1 LB, Gueye replacement, Winger, Striker. With €70m, best case we get:

RB: Vanderson from Monaco (-€25m)

LB: Hugo Bueno from WWFC (-€20m)

Winger: Buy Jack only if we can get him for ~€20m as reported. (call it -€25m)

Total: -€70m. Players In: Vanderson, Bueno, Grealish.

If outgoing transfers factor into this reported €70m, then I'd go for DM like Joao Gomes if he's not crazy expensive to sign (which he will be) and a budget striker.

Next Year's Starting XI

Pickford in goal,

Back 4: Vanderson, O'Brien, Branthwaite, Bueno

Garner, Tim,

Ndiaye, KDH, Grealish,

Barry up top

Bench: Travers, Keane, Tarks, Aznou, Alcaraz, Gueye, Rohl, George, Dibling

Strategy: no one is allowed to get injured, we win the treble.

Thoughts? I'm no expert on this but looking to get smarter.
