Imagine if we get beat tomorrow with an injury to a midfielder, this place will explode

This place will but Goodison park with 30 odd thousand people in it wouldn't.......maybe the token boo but the clappers would soon put them in there place and say there is no greater Evertonian than boys pen Bill.

very disappointing window

YES, the summer war-chest has been saved from the clutches of the spendthrift Spaniard

Have any of our rivals strengthened? Mata aside which is not enough to save Man Utd's season its a case of as you were.

Which is precisely why we've missed a good opportunity here.

Did you post a picture of him because he is notorious for not knowing what words mean and you appear to be the same way with your "knee-jerking" comment?

Because if you are under the impression people will change their minds on this with the passage of time I'm afraid you don't know Davek and Brennan very well.

Knock-out blow that :lol:

dunno why I'm bothering, guess I'm bored!

'jerkers gon' jerk

Sometimes adversity brings out the best in us.

See the Chelsea game just after summer window shut.

That said I completely understand your concerns, and admit out of us Man U and Liverpool we're the least favourite to qualify for CL now. If anything it just adds more importance to the FA Cup for me.

I'd love nothing more than to smash Villa 5-0 but we just don't seem to have that cutting edge at the minute. Honestly mate the season looks like its petering out. Hopefully tomorrow proves me wrong.

I like how chico is making actually wanting to buy a player maybe once an entitlement thing.

NSNO, lad.

I can sit here and NSNO 1=20 Everton touched you all day lid. But there's a whole dose of reality out there.

Do a monster line of it and snort it up. That's right ALL of it. Rub the rest into your gums.

Good? Now lets talk.

Jelavic £7.5m
Anichebe £6m
Fellaini £27.5m

£41m (Kone and Robles and Alcaraz came from Fer/Negredo money in Jan 2013).

Spent £13m on McCarthy, a nominal fee on McGeady and the loan signings.

It's at the very least £20m, should be closer to £25m.

There are some loan fees to add to that to.

So.

What happened to Everton today in a sentence please?

Yes.

My optimism has been totally shot down in a ball of flames. A bit like my popcorning of kopites before the derby.

2 massive back fires. God damn it

Why the patronising bit at the end. Do you think I don't want Everton to quality for the Champions League and snot all the best teams in Europe?

Of course I do. But there's also a large dose of reality which I hope I covered in my post.

This isn't Champ Manager and we need to not get sucked into the whole deadline day meltfest.

It wasn't a great window, it wasn't a bad window. Were four points off fourth.

Go get em Everton.

People have been arguing about what the reality is all day long, and a lot of people feel that a considerable amount of money should have been made available, but we have continued to shop at Netto and it just means that we will remain pretenders.

It is incredibly frustrating, and it seems like every missed opportunity makes it all the more likely that are status as pretenders will never change. It's the bypassing of what many people had considered to be a genuine opportunity that is the cause of such frustration.
