at the very least to have used the previous 6 months to line a replacement for lukaku up.

lukaku part is poor we should off had a replacement lined up, other signings all seem good, happy with most off our business this summer and since last january. hopefully they pull something out the bag. we will get someone just hope they have a bit off class.
I'm choosing to have faith in this situation come on walshy lad.

I'm not one to nick envelopes from the company's (stationary) stationery cupboard, but this all seems a little dodgy to me...
So many angry Evertonians, all looking for a scapegoat!
Clearly it's rubbish that we haven't got the striker we want and need yet.
But I think it's a little bit inconsistent to be calling Walsh out. Most people would agree that what we wanted Walsh to come and do was find us the cheap gems who we could develop into stars, like he did at Leicester with Mahrez, Vardy etc. This summer we've seen us sign the likes of Sandro and kids such as Bowler and the lad from Newcastle. They are the sorts of players who will make or break Walsh's reputation, I think. And it's way too early to judge. Don't forget, he got us Gueye last year. People quickly forget.
What I would say is that the kind of striker we are all desperate to sign - the Giroud, Benteke, Costa, Llorente type player - these are not the sort of players that Steve Walsh is employed to identify and sign. I don't think our inability to sign them is a reflection of the job he is doing.
For me, they're the frontline targets that anyone - Koeman, Kenwright, Walsh, you or me could identify!
If we don't get them, we are likely to have to look at a Walsh-identified backup target - that's when the likes of Okaka etc might come into play. That's where Walsh earns his coin - finding a potentially effective player at the bottom of the barrel.
People can't demand success from Walsh in sign cheap gems and then criticise him when when we don't sign expensive famous players.
