Summer Transfer Window 2017

[Jamo Martinez]

The summer started out very good for transfers but quickly stalled with the pursuit of Siggy. Now we are scrambling for a player in the position we should have filled first, striker.

For me it's Dembele, regardless if he's out till September or not. Fast, natural ability and loads of potential.

This. Within a year Barça would want to swap their Dembele for our Dembele.

I hate you lot with your references of Natalie Sawyer...

Yeah definitely, I always wondered what it smelt like

A slight rubbery latex smell combined with smoked haddock.

Worth a lick for the curiosity

If Evertonians are frustrated with this summer they are expecting too much imo. We've improved every position bar striker and were we ever going to after selling Rom? To me the only disappointment is not getting a big CF in but it could still happen.

As for the RS they aren't going to have too much of a net spend once Coutinho goes and Ox isn't very good

Spot on, mate.
Echoes the feeling of many

It just would have been nice to have one summer where we go out and sign a boss player and have some excitement for the season. We have a new owner and we were all under the impression that we suddenly had money to invest. The general feeling was last year we got it wrong and would change that this year.

And yes , the business we done at the start of the summer was fantastic. We got that buzz and next thing 2 months pass, haggle over a couple of million for weeks on a player and even then if the previous signings were paid for by lukaku, siggurdson at 45 will be greatly reduced once Ross goes. And it leads us to now, no news, no mention of a signing despite claiming we are after 2 players at a time when everyone knows everything going on. I'm not referring to Ronaldo or Messi turning up at finch farm but just one player who makes us get a little bit excited to see in 2 weeks. All the players we have signed are great but long term signings, none really are exciting to see right now.

At least them lot can dream of seeing keita and dream of possibly signing Lamar or someone of that ilk even if it doesn't come off. We have jarg links to a player not good enough for benfica or a championship striker no-one had heard of really until a week ago.

That's why this is frustrating personally, a small part of me hopes we get a player who we can look forward to seeing in a couple of weeks, but deep down I know we will be disappointed or underwhelmed and come Friday morning it's back to that old Everton mentality , we support who we have and hope next year is different. Just once it would be nice to break that mould and do something that isn't boring and Everton like.

Timo Werner Loan deals do count
Everton 11/2
To Stay at RB Leipzig (Does not include returning on loan following a permanent deal elsewhere) 1/10

Lol it is our best odds to sign someone on Sky Bet.

WERNER ISN'T COMING. PERSPECTIVE PEOPLE.

I see Liverpool have been mentioned a few times and a few blues are laughing them off.

It's hard to admit but they have been very impressive and they will score plenty of goals, with or without Coutinho.

We are miles behind them offensively.

For the record despite my moaning arse, if we didn't sign anyone and our business was what we had done then I'd still be happy with it all

Good job you need the other side of your game to do well.

They have the most pace in the pl, whilst we have the least.

Any embargo's tonight ?
