We say this every year though when things pan out in exactly the same way....the cool heads thinking "yeah there's no way the club aren't going to let us go till January without a replacement in x,y or z positions"....then lo and behold the window actually shuts and they've done exactly that.

It's been bad enough when we've only needed one or two places to be filled, but this year we have by the manager's own admission earlier in the summer 9 or 10 (which he is suspiciously as the summer progresses, revising constantly downwards).

It's bedwetting when people panic over this stuff the first time.....its being a long suffering Evertonian when you panic over this stuff for the nth time in 10 years.
