If we are looking at trophy cabinets then the FSW would be amongst the best Everton managers of recent times, and nobody wants that.

I reckon we’ll sign another 2/3 before the Leeds game, which will still leave us badly short. Then another 2/3 before the window ends but possibly lose 3 of our first 6 games.

It’s happened so many times in the past, under Moyes as well.

i reckon given the fact a lot of teams are in the same boat as us, this is just another advantage that teams who can spend what they want get.

the transfer window should close before the first game of the season.

it clearly favourites you know who - so it wont.

THIS.....it's time we stopped making excuses for them, urging patience from our own fans when we all know how these things usually pan out and patience isn't rewarded.

It's also time to stop the 'oh well its a difficult market, we aren't in europe/one of the big six/blah blah blah nonsense. Other clubs bigger and smaller than us don't seem to have the same issue with signing players season after season. True they might have the odd summer of struggle, but they generally get their business done more times than not, whilst we seem to perennially drag our feet no matter who's in charge and how much money the club supposedly has in its 'warchest'.

After season's of struggle and watching shyt the fans look to the summer months as a time of hope, a time of seeing that things are going to be different.....the only thing Everton seem to be consistantly good at is dampening those hopes as each summer starts to draw to a close.

We've got 4 in,Moyes wants another 6.
Very good players have turned us down because a) were not in Europe and b) we've been fighting relegation for the last few years.
In an ideal world we'd have all our targets in now, but it has t happened so we're moving on to the next ones on the list.
There's 3 weeks to go to the start of the season

Would you rather we went back to not having a pot to piss in and getting everyone's cast offs on loan in the last hour of the window? (Subject to deal sheets going in on time).

Chill, we'll get what we need in the next few weeks

Isn't there an element of here as we are targeting players like Grealish and Luiz who, let's be honest, are taking a step down/backwards at club level signing for us, hence they are playing for time on making a decision

If we are going for up and coming players - examples of which the likes of Brighton and Brentford sign and we are asking why they can do it - then surely they are more inclined to bite our hands off

Luiz and Grealish, for me, smacks of an old man in the pub playing fantasy football that weekend. What happened to our scouting network and any planned targets? Did it all go in the bin when Moyes ousted Thelwell because he's better having control of it himself?

Re: Moyes

I think with that model, you might be waiting 2 seasons before getting into Europe while the players develop. I think Moyes wants Europe at the end of this season.

Realistically we’ve had 2 relegation battles in a decade. I’d say this talk of relegation is typical Moyes fodder and he’s spouting it in public which is nuts. It’s not the real truth. The Bournemouth and palace games were really tight but last season we were nowhere near it and the season before we are mid table without the snide points deduction.

whilst I agree with your take on only being in true danger twice, I bet if you asked a load of non Everton fans they wouldn't see it like that, and that's not how it came across in the Media.

No one cares about the points deduction, they just looked at the final league table the last four have been 16th, 17th, 15th, 13th.

That looks bad, and it is bad, and we need some stabilisation before people look at us the way they used to. Not just the league finishes but the utter, utter chaos that has been going on off the field doesn't exactly give off the impression that we are a solid Prem league team where you can develop and move on to a Champions league club does it?

Plenty of clubs have got what they feel they need in already, some haven't, the point I am making is that whilst those other clubs might have the odd year or two when they aren't getting in what they need by this point of the window, with Everton its EVERY year.

Add to that that no other club in the Premier League actually needs as many in as we currently do then I reckon its OK to be a bit concerned at the very least, if you don't have a penchant for full on bedwetting at this stage.

Yes I know that, and that's EXACTLY why I expected it to be different this time, given that;

a) all the players on overpaid wages have now gone
b) we've finished the new ground, sold out all ST and hospitality for the forthcoming season, plus signed a significant stadium naming rights deal.
c) Just sold our women's team to ourselves.
d) Have new owners supposedly willing and able to invest in the club.

Christ if this summer isn't the time to feel we can stretch our budgets a bit from what has gone on before then when is ?

Re: Moyes

I think we can. But the players we want are probably biding their time a little and aren't jumping at the chance to join Everton. Which is what Moyes has intimated.

I posted something last week on this, roughly averaging 3/4 per club at the moment so we’re par with other clubs. I think we’re in a slightly unique situation in having lost so many though. Otherwise it seems alright really. A shame the lad yesterday wasn’t already done to be able to do a full pre season or at least do the full tour

Re: Moyes

Yes id say we seem about on par. Re. Aznou yes would have been ideal for him and a couple of others to have gone to America. He may not have been first choice to buy, who knows. Id be surprised if it got to the end of last week and they suddenly thought "shit we should get a left back"

The main issue with Saturday was the lack of centre backs but I'd be surprised if we signed one. 4 senior centre backs should be enough. And if it was a meaningful game perhaps one or two would have been risked.

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.

Re: Moyes

this.

There will be a "Flurry" of activity the week before the season starts not just Everton but everyone who isnt the "Sky 6" and able to spend money like its water.

At least we have 4 already, probably more than we usually have at this stage of the window, im not denying we need more, I reckon 5 or 6 more, but some of them will be loans and clubs wont want to send someone on loan if they think there is a chance they can sell them before the window shuts and get actual real transfer fees for them, and I dont really blame them.
2 or 3 more perm signings and about 3-4 loans I reckon.

That’s the sensible response. What’s annoying me is this stupid tour and the lack of numbers to play 3 games against high quality opposition in a week. We don’t have the squad for this kind of cash grab yet. Can see someone getting injured and missing the start of the season because they’ve played too many games too early (too many minutes)

Agree the squad depth isn't there yet for a tour such as this, but wasn't it a while ago the club signed up for it and no doubt it's got decent commercial benefits. Would think the club anticipated being further on in the recruitment process prior to the tour. Good intentions, but hindered by lack of incomings. Important not to hang too much on results and just get some decent fitness build up out of it. Unfortunately defeats have people reaching for the panic button and undermines the other benefits of the friendlies, which of course is all they are.

Bournemouth, Brentford, Brighton to name but 3 who are now able to attract better players than us. This shouldn't be the case, we can list our underachievement all you like, but the selling of the club now and the 'project' needs to be better. If that means Moyes is hindering it, we are in real trouble because he is the best manager we could have at this time with these players. It's a quandry.

Re: Moyes

im not sure they are tbh.

they have developed those players over time, which is what we are starting to do this summer (chermitti and tim as well i suppose).

they are just further down the track than we are.

we have a much higher ceiling as a club than those 3 - assuming we actually get things right off the pitch this time.

Just feck off Moyes.

The start of many I reckon.

If prospective signings are being chatted to by Mr Negative there's no wonder they aren't queuing up to join us......I always said Moyes was OK to get us through last season, but it was madness to put him in charge of the rebuild and so its transpiring.

We finished 13th last season. A big leap forward after the last few seasons.

There hasn’t been a ball kicked this season yet.

Nothing is transpiring at all.

Yes, I've been noticing that too. Atvthat stage of his career, he doesn't need all the shite.

Re: Moyes

Asked if he had been surprised by the setbacks, Moyes said: “My first thought was ‘yes, I was surprised’ because Everton is such a big club. Great traditions, what the club has stood for over the years, the new stadium is an exciting new move for us. But then you have another thought and you think again — ‘we have been around the relegation positions the last five years and not far off the bottom.’

“The fact of the matter is we’ve got to rebuild trust in people who should come to Everton and show that the club is going in the right direction and that we’ve got a new future. We’re all desperate to give the supporters something again. Let’s hope we can pull it together for them and get them a team to be proud of by the start of the season.”

We've finished in the top half once this decade.

We don't get to cup finals or even semis, 2 European campaigns in the last 10 years.

Of course top European players would be hesitant to join us.

Similar to how top players wouldn't be falling over themselves to join Real Sociedad.

We haven't reached a cup final in 16 years.

We either need to pay the eye watering wages that will get us financially fucked again (we really should not do that). Or accept we need to target players who see us as a step up and want to prove themselves.

I'd try and get the best young players from the Championship personally.

Rather that Europa/Champions League players who act like they're doing you a favour by signing for you.

Re: Moyes

Our lack of recruitment/scouting infrastructure is showing.

We need to be targeting players like Fofana before they ‘make it’.

Fofana cost Lyon €17m from Gent in 2024.

Now he’s double that and wants champions league football.

we’ve just signed a promising young left back but if you listened to moyes you’d think he was behind luke garbutt in the pecking order. he should have a spokesman doing his interviews during the summer like bobby heenan talking up lex luger.

why are you so argumentative? this is obvious stuff

We’ve brought in a load of lads from Leeds and seemingly didn’t bring any ability to sign footballers.

More faith in the long term with the poaching of fellas from United and city but the short term doesn’t look great at the moment.

CHEER UP, PLUMS

Re: Moyes

Exactly.

It's so frustrating as it feels like the same every year.

Followed by 'we tried', followed by a panicked end of the window leading to a slow start to the season while the squad beds in and gets used to each other and repeat again next summer.

Re: Moyes

"...it's been a difficult first six games and obviously we'd have wanted more points on the board. I'm happy with the pre-season and the benefits will be felt more as the season goes on.
We wanted more numbers in, but looking at the players available and willing to come I needed to be sure they were actually an improvement on what we already have. I know the fans are disappointed with the start but there is an element of them having to be realistic about where we are as a football club at this moment in time"

We’re always playing catch up. Every time we start to get somewhere financially the monied clubs seem to generate millions more in revenue.
We’ll be ok but it’ll be late I the window when they all start of loading players. It’s nothing I didn’t expect.

Inherited Moshiris & numerous managers and Dofs mess, will take time to fix definitely. Attracting decent players will be hard

Re: Moyes

Agreed, been some very interesting links and bids so far on that score, but it seems players are dragging their feet to see what else is out there.

We might need to shift a little on that perhaps, to players more readily available. They don't all have to be Jack Harrison.

And we will definitely get some last minute loan action sorted as we always do in classic, thrilling style following our traditional dogshit start to the season.

Yeah after Leeds beat us and we lose our first proper game at the new ground we will somehow manage to sign a few players. No doubt.

CHEER UP, PLUMS

Re: Moyes

What's Ever Banega up to?

Re: Moyes

I would imagine that the "Stopgap" players will be the ones we get in on loan to be honest, I don't want us to get into the same position we were where there are bang average players on long and expensive contracts.
The 4 we have signed so far all seem to be with the long term in mind, and that's a good thing, they may not all work out of course, no team gets them all right, but at least they are trying.
maybe another 1 or 2 of this ilk before we start chasing experienced players for the numbers.
In an ideal world they would have done most of the signings by now, but we don't live in an ideal world and as long as there is progress being made behind the scenes im not getting fresh bedsheets ready yet.

Alcaraz only getting two years seemed odd, otherwise I agree

CHEER UP, PLUMS

Re: Moyes

Yes I don't think they want to be getting into the situation where we're basically doing Maupay style deals to fill a gap.

Better off with loans, and they will most likely be later on.

Although you can see the sense in trying to get someone like Grealish earlier.

Re: Moyes

I think the fact that they all only got appointed this summer (so technically in the jobs a month or so) gives them a bit of a pass for me.

That plus the crazy number of signings we need due to loans ending & contracts not renewed. Was always going to be a bit on top this summer but the 4 bought so far have all been sound and as long as we end the window in a good place is the main thing really.

It’s top quality stuff this!

Also having that club world cup thing, and internationals means a load of players wont be availible till later, which i s why i think transfers have only started to pick up the last week or so

I can't go to jail, my mommas cooking chicken for dinner

Re: Moyes

Re your first line, could also be a case of potential signings dragging their feet waiting to see what other higher profile players are signing before they commit. Hopefully could be a domino effect if and when the first eye catching signing comes in.

Re: Moyes

Definitely harder than many were expecting. More than likely to be a tough season but people seem to want to stick their fingers in their ears and give it the "la la la la la la europe challenge incoming" because we have a bit (who knows how much?) of money and a new stadium. Said all summer it will be a slow process, and I've seen nothing to change that.

It's the upshot of 5-6 years of less than mediocre.

Re: Moyes

The business so far has been good they haven’t been held to ransom by DCL and Doucoure

Managed to get Alcaraz in permanently which most agree was a must, signed a decent back up keeper & added two potential stars of the future

Re: Moyes

Can't argue with any of that. Just need a couple of higher profile signings to change the overall perspective. Then some inevitable squad fillers which we will still have to accept for a year or two given the lack of depth.

Stop bloody raining.

Re: Moyes

id rather the squad fillers were loans to be honest.

2-3 more players that have a future and potential and the 3-4 loans to fill out the squad.
