30 year old, one dimensional cart horse who is on high wages and offers nothing more than what we already have in McNeil

Hope that answers your question 😁
Who is injured and probably out for the season. Plus he’s not a winger. Plus he’s a dead ball specialist. Plus, if anyone else in the midfield gets injured we are screwed.
 


This is comical. Dyche wasn't exactly asking us to dream of trophies and European football.

Our expectations could hardly be any lower after the last few seasons.
@davek entire argument is that Dyche was hamstrung by poor ownership and no funds leaving him with a poor squad - therefore he had to grind out results, keep us relegation free and wait for the summer when we can offload low contribution players for quality and that the manager was doing a good job.

His argument now (and he's either being contrary for contrarian sake or he's a flat out moron) is that despite being 9 points better off and having a good buffer between us and the teams below us (having won as many games under a new manager in 4 matches as the previous manager managed in 19) we are having our expectations lowered and we now apparently:

Need the players we were waiting to offload in the summer

Have had our expectations lowered

The new owners should be spending big now and not wait until the summer

Don't try and search for logic, there isn't any.
 

Because buying underperforming 30 somethings on big wages is exactly what got us into this mess

As much as the Sky Sports type agenda would love to have you believe Everton spending money badly as the reason we've struggled - the stadium, previous board and Russia's war got us into the current situation. Sure, one window under Koeman we spent a bit of money. Like Fulham, Bournemouth and West Ham have since. And nowhere near the amounts Nottingham or Villa have.

Teams spend money, teams invest money into the playing squad - we haven't. The only team to not have done the last 4 years. Any team, like Wolves have seen - will struggle with that.

Our squad value for fees, including players we have on loan who we didnt actually spend is 19th from 20 teams.
