Confirmed that Mykolenko isn't fit. Also, when asked about transfers, said we've been after some top players but the lack of Europe is putting them off joining us and we've money to spend. He said we might have to bring in a lower quality of player so we have a big enough squad for the season

Fucking hell.

Some of the stuff on this thread is mental.

Great site lads, just not when there is a match in the next or last few days.

How can you tell if someone is a Kopite? If the hat, scarf, T shirt or tattoo isn't enough of a clue, they will have told you within two sentences. Basically, it's a cult.

"we've been after some top players but the lack of Europe is putting them off joining us"

Such a shìt, annoying sentence.

Maybe don't compete for players looking for Europe!

It's like 2017 in neverending repeat.

Yep go for the maupays of this world. He's basically said we've gone for some really good players and it hasn't worked out with everyone. We still got grealish. Perhaps we wouldn't have got him if we decided to set our sights so low...

I'm genuinely agog at people's reactions..

Where has he said he doesn’t want us to try and sign good players? The Europe stuff is Moyes just chatting wham. People auto jump to Moyes defence without appreciating what has been said.

The criticism is of Moyes blabbing on in the media, not what the club is trying to do.

“What do you want him to say” etc etc

Just that we’re still working on it and things are progressing.

So you really don't want us to at least compete for the better players. This isn't a stick to beat him with. It's a statement of the conditions that the club is operating in. Years of mediocrity coming home to roost. The new stadium and ownership may not be quite the pull the club was hoping for.

The same dismal shit people were getting sick of in about 2007. I was livid watching that match the other day. It’s like he deliberately tries to stamp out any optimism. Treating a piss poor Leeds like they were Zidane-era Madrid. Bad enough when it’s Dyche or whoever, but the fact it’s him sticks in the craw. Another two years of this. He should have been jibbed after our final game of the season.

He has always been like this, bar a few games at the end of last season, when he realised he could keep his job by trying to actually win a game rather than not lose it. It worked as well but looks like he’s reverted to Dour Davey.

Don't think we could have got Frank but the brand new stadium bump, free reign on manager intervention on transfers and genuine potential, and the fact that they were selling all their assets must have made him worth a punt. Pound for pound the best in the prem at the moment. And I'd have taken semenyo and kluivert.

I’ll be honest I really couldn’t care less. We’re so far away from being anything but mid table plodders it’s painfull. Just wheel In the next hopeful and we’ll all be calling for his head in 18 months. If he’s any good he’ll be poached by another club.

There’s mid table plodders an there’s what we did on Monday night. I think theres a correlation between how loads of our fans couldn’t care less an how we always employ shitehawk managers who play for 0-0’s against the likes of Leeds Utd.

Crystal Palace and Newcastle won a trophy last season. Villa, Brighton Bournemouth Forest all in or been in Europe etc. Never mind our record in one off games, look at who won at Anfield in the time we didn’t, sure Palace have won their last 6 games at Old Trafford or something, think we’re on 1 win in 33 years. We aren’t talking about winning leagues here.

Yeah we’re defo tell mid table fodder. That’s to be expected. BMD was always a 10 year project and we’ve got another 3 or 4 years before the benefits of the move will show. It’s not about losing the odd game. It’s just how dismal it all is.

Everton were relegation candidates when Joe Royle took over just over 30 years ago but he installed fight and optimism. Can you imagine him turning up for derby matches like Moyes does.

Could have seen us fall through the trap door had we gone for an inexperienced manager given the circumstances around the club over the last 4 years or so. Better going for that type of manager from a position of strength, not a position of sheer panic.

I think the issue for me is there's no real plan. So you'll end up with a mish mash of players that he has to blancmange together into a team.

If there's anything those other teams do well, and massively cheaper, is have a defined set of playing styles and recruit to roles.

Starting at the 'top' and working down is the route to Walcott, Bolasie, and Sigurdson and then trying to force them onto a team.

Maybe you're right actually. With your first response. And we just aren't there yet. But it seems everyone, except for the likes of us and West Ham who know how to do it properly.

He didn't say they weren't much cop (not kop, mate. FUcking hell. Was that a Freudian slip?).

He was saying they won't be absolutely top quality like the ones he wanted. You probably know this, but you've chosen to go with the negative, which is ironic really.

It was just a spelling mistake.

"We've been in for some players who have gone elsewhere, we're still looking at people who can come in and improve the squad."

You know there's a subtext in his statement about people coming in now who aren't who he wanted and he doesn't think are good enough. It's just Moyes, we've seen it all before.

Seeing his titty lip before and us usually finishing top 8. Don't reckon we finished outside of there from 2006. We'd surely all take that? He did similar with West ham too.

He's just saying people like that malick fofana want Europe and it's been tough especially when we seemingly have a bit of money and you can aim higher.

I fully expect that, despite what they say, that people won't accept us finishing 12th. I think we'll finish higher because that is what he does. Proven countless times.

We will undoubtedly have some poor performances which will be jumped on too. We had some really good results since he came in and I'm sure his form throughout a season would have had us top 8.

What a plum he is. I was cautiously optimistic that he’d changed last season - seemed a bit more comfortable in his own skin and a bit less tetchy, and a bit more positive in general. He’s still the same old gobshite from 2012 judging by the last couple of weeks.

There was a time this was the perfect approach for Everton. Around 2003. We were in the bin, he had to underpromise and overdeliver, manage expectations and it worked. Every win was treated like a minor miracle, draws were positive. No one expected us to do anything and though we didn't really, we got a bit of pride back. We'd been beaten senseless by years of dross and anything that looked like minor progress was like Christmas.
Signing a player for actual money was met with stunned bewilderment. We all accepted we were skint, and got on board with the bargain basement project for players like Cahill and Bent with the odd Yobo in the mix.

The picture has changed but he hasn't. We're entitled to expect a bit more with the stadium and the owners and his reaction is to tell us we're all wrong, sulk, talk us down and take the joy out of everything. I hope he fucks off soon to be honest. The display against Leeds was worse than Dyche for me.

Or he, as the Manager, is also entitled to expect more with the stadium and new owners, but he is showing his frustration at the all-singing-all-dancing, much improved Recruitment team only being able to close Grealish & KDH as noteworthy signings and he's voicing his honest displeasure at being told we'll have to settle for less.

Is it equally possible that this is the case?

So are this new recruitment team.

It depends on promises made, I suppose. If Moyes has been told not to worry as this new team will have everyone he wants signed and in place well before the deadline, he has every right to be a bit miffed.

Then again, I don't know whether that is the case and I'd rather not just make stuff up to suit my agenda.

I agree that he needs to do better with what he's got but I'm not going to be disingenuous and suggest that he's the root of everything wrong with us either.

I've watched the press conference and I concede - he could probably have said the same thing in a more positive way.

How's he talking the club down? He's said the pkayers have chosen not to come. We managed to get KDH and Grealish, so he's obviously sold things to them pretty well.

He's spot on with what he's said.

Clearly frustrated at what has been, Grealish and KDH apart, a poor window so far.

He wants the best players possible but our Arthur Daley wheeler dealer knobheads aren't delivering the goods.

I don't think it's that. Players have a choice of teams in Europe or one with a recent history of being an utter shambles. He said we have to rebuild trust in the game and he's right. Weve been a basket case for years and players aren't stupid. They know they're taking a risk coming here because nothing is proven about the new regime yet. Nothing.

We've attracted two high profile players in the last two weeks.

Players will come if they're willing to buy into the project. Both said that was a big reason for signing.

Which clubs has he worked for where he’s had the pick of signings? He was at West Ham most recently who despite the odd season in Europe are basically a bottom five club.

I don’t know what he expected he was joining here. He was on the scrap heap and is now managing one of the biggest clubs in the country and being paid a fortune. He should get on with being better himself and finding ways to work with what he has (not like he did on Monday)

So he just keep his mouth shut and hope the megastars start walking through the Finch Farm doors?

'Despite the odd season in Europe'.

They won a European trophy in one of them.

As for what he was expecting with new owners, a new stadium and a supposedly specialist transfer committee, I'd say he was probably expecting more than what has materialised so far.

People want to know why we haven't signed anyone for some of the key positions? He was literally asked ehy we hadn't and he gave an answer.

I don't know what our strategy is, to be honest. Aznou was dumped from the match day squad, there's press murmerings about being unimpressed with Barry, and Moyes is basically saying we're going to go for lower standard players.
