I know people think we've a endless pot of money but surely once Sigursson comes in and a striker ( let's say Giroud for arguments sake ) then I'd reckon we've done our spending . Hope I'm wrong but any further additions will be a small fee I'd suggest . Grossinki ( apologies for woeful spelling but hull player ) was linked at circa 7/8 million I could see coming in as a squad player . Low money / low wage and think if we do bring in another CB it will be one thats in his early 30's ( not Collins ) . Think he will try and address the defensive issues in January and further afield next summer

I don't think we've got an endless pot I just get this feeling if Barkley, McCarthy, Niasse, maybe one or two others leave and we have already got Sig and a striker in. I can see us dipping back in again on deadline day for a loan or a punt on a Gray/Mahrez type just a feeling given the reports and looking at the team that needs more pace. But maybe a left sided central defender is a bigger concern right now as Lookman will get minutes this year. For me you need four genuine forwards of different types and I just don't know if DCL is the fourth.

Got this sneaky feeling we will bring another pacey winger or forward in as well as Sig and a target man.

Hope so. It's only my opinion but I think we need a left footed winger, wide forward that's comfortable on each wing and that would add balance to the team/squad. Our team atm is very right foot dominant and I think we could do with a classy left footer in there. I'm not ashamed to say it but someone like Salah would of been brilliant for us down the right!

I wonder if we'll look at Ghezzal towards the end of the window or maybe after we've signed Sigurdsson, a CF and left sided CB we push the boat out and go for a left footed winger? I know it seems to be a bit of an old joke but would anyone take Yarmolenko? Think I would for the right price. I'd honestly have Mahrez for the right price aswell but I do think we need a left footed wide player. Hope Koeman is thinking the same thing....

Really hope things start gearing up again this week, it's gone quiet on the transfer front and we still need a couple more able bodies asap.

Which tells you just how big a mess was left & needed clearing up.

RK needs another year to get his squad together & playing as he would want.

Martinez nearly killed us.

72 points mate !

If Martinez had miraculously kept his job, god forbid the dross that would have been on our books. Kone, would have had a new and improved contract and Niasse would have been Lukaku's successor. We'd have gone and bought Al-Habsi and copious amount of dirge Championship/Scotc Prem players to ensure we could finish lower than 12th.

Martinez's signings have paid for this summer's record transfer spending.

unreal the level of thought that goes into these attacks on our PL points record manager.

Koeman better hit more than 61 points this coming season.

What happens if he gets more than 61 points?

Martina is awful at RB and a word hasn't been invented to describe how terrible this one footed (right) joke of a player will be at LB.
Barry would need an oxygen cylinder to play at full back and turns slower than tubby Williams so will be done for pace by every team bar west brom and stoke.
Connolly is off to Swansea.
Garbutt could maybe play but I'm praying Baines stays fit (no matter what @davek says).

Mate .... that post cracked me up ... proper laughing about the Barry comment. I shouldn't find it as funny as I do , but I did

just saying, he's going to be spending the best part of about £150M so he better get in excess of last season's puny points total.

Martinez got Lukaku through the door, which in all honesty is still the greatest and most defining achievement of of Everton in the premier league era.

None of the signings that Koeman has got in so far compares to Lukaku in 2014, not even close.

Martinez is the worlds best salesman.
