I like many thought the window 2 years ago when we took Rooney, Sigy, Pickford and about 6 other number 10's was the most exciting window in years - it was utter gash. 8th - needed Fat Sam to sort us out defensively.

Last summers window. Whooo, Portuguese manager, some Brazilians, Barcelona players etc - Yes. Lovely football and guaranteed progess, Err utter dross, 8th place. We won a few end of season games when nothing mattered.

This summer I honestly am totally underwhelmed. A 19 kid who should have a bright future but surely not at that age.
No centre halfs and we sold our best centre mid.

Was boss stopping the reds winning the league though
 
The day of reckoning, “Z-day”, is almost upon us. Rest well my toffee brothers, and may we all bask in Marcel’s brilliance tomorrow when Wilf arrives to the promised land.
 

Interesting read this from Col. Thew Zaha information, if true, is interesting indeed.

    Fwiw - I think this is some bullshit with some truth, might explain why Alderweireld and Stones names were mentioned to me earlier as ones to watch out for tomorrow (the zaha stuff sounds like a load of [Poor language removed])

    ...

    ///TRANSFER UPDATE///

    ***SOME OF THIS INFORMATION IS OUT IN THE PUBLIC DOMAIN NOW, BUT SOME IS STILL CONFIDENTIAL***

    Mason Holgate - going to either West Bromwich Albion or Derby County. Permanent deal. Wayne Rooney has spoken to Philip Cocu (Derby manager) and Holgate himself within the last 24 hours. Long-time favourites WBA are now second favourites to DER. However, Holgate will only leave once Everton sign another centre-back.

    Çenk Tosun - talks continuing with Fenerbahçe. Permanent deal.

    James McCarthy - has passed first part of two-part medical. Second part tomorrow, which is the more intense, stringent part. Bear in mind McCarthy's permanent (rest of life) injury...muscular connecting from stomach through groin and thigh to knee. No fee agreed with Crystal Palace yet, as it depends upon Medical Part 2 results in the morning.

    Sebastiàn Coates - bid accepted by Spoeting Lisbon but just as medical & player/agent talks were being arranged...

    James Tarkowski - bid made this afternoon. Burnley Board considering it, no response yet.

    Kurt Zouma - Frank Lampard as new Chelsea manager, has made a final decision. Zouma stays at Chelsea. HOWEVER Chelsea Board still willing to consider a permanent deal bid by Everton.

    Fikayo Tomori - season-long loan deal from Chelsea should be completed tomorrow.

    Chris Smalling - season-long loan request turned down by Manchester United. Deal dead.

    Alex Iwobi - Second Everton bid of £36m + £6m add-ons to go in to Arsenal tonight or early tomorrow morning.

    Abdoulaye Doucouré - Third Everton bid of £38m + £7m add-ons to go in to Watford tonight or early tomorrow morning.

    Henry Onyekuru - permanent deal to Monaco should be announced tomorrow.

    Djibril Sidibe - has passed his medical. His season-long loan from Monaco, with Everton have first dibs on a permanent deal next summer, should be announced tonight or tomorrow am.

    Matthew Pennington - season-long loan to Hull City. Brands & Silva see him as one of the very few youngsters who could make the grade at Everton. Hull wanted a permanent deal, with Nottingham Forest, Leeds United and Bristol City were also after his signature permanently.

    Wilfried Zaha - was 'encouraged' this afternoon by his agent, to submit a written transfer request to Crystal Palace. Remember how stubborn Moshiri was, wanting Sam Allardyce as Everton manager and the rest of the Board said no (until Jon Woods switched sides and that was enough to get Allardyce)? Well, shades of that with Zaha here. The player does not want to come up North. The Everton Board (which includes Brands, don't forget) do not want Zaha, and are convinced the money could be spent better elsewhere on 2 or even 3 players. Moshiri has dug his heels in. Moshiri sees capturing Zaha as the marquee signing he promised this summer (when he used Diego Costa as an example of a marquee signing). Moshiri has told the Board that he is even prepared to exceed the agreed-in-May Board ceiling of £80m cash transfer fee and £100k weekly wages to land Zaha. The rest of the Board are very unhappy about this. Zaha's agent, Unique Sports, have been advised that if Zaha hands in a written transfer request (and loses his slice of the transfer fee as a result), his weekly wages over the five-year contract will compensate him.

    John Stones - Bill Kenwright & Marcel Brands don't want him back, but rest of Board & Moshiri do. They are currently considering whether to put in a second bid to Manchester City tomorrow morning.

    Morgan Schneiderlin - Everton talks continue with player, agent and six of the seven clubs listed in this morning's update (Sampdoria have dropped out) for a permanent deal.

    All of Muhamed Besic, Yannick Bolasie, Kevin Mirallas and Oumar Niasse could be out on season-long loans...likely to be all abroad in Europe, whose transfer deadlines are generally until Mon 02 Sep.

    Toby Alderweireld - as Everton are desperate for an experienced (but significantly younger than Phil Jagielka) centre-back. Hence Tarkowski, Stones and Alderweireld all being considered as Zouma not dead deal but unlikely, Smalling loan is dead, and Tomori on loan considering good signing but more experienced defender is required. Everton will bid for Stones (again) OR Alderweireld tomorrow morning. Tarkowski bid in with Burnley-no answer yet.

    Until next time...

Good evening fellow Toffee.

Who do you want us to sign tomorrow?

P.s your positivity is welcome relief to the transfer thread bedwetters. #staypositive
 
We have lost 2 of our best 3 players from last season,

Replaced them with errr, weaker players, and not sure if we have even bothered with the centre half position,

Have to assume the you mean Digne is the third.

Sigurdsson and Richarlison say hi... Gueye was great especially through the spring. I don’t think I would say Zouma is better than Gylfi or Richey though. Heck I would actually not say he was better than Keane (I realize I am probably a minority there).

I'll bite.
Do you not think a year on under a manager's ideas the team may have less to learn and perform a bit better from the off?
Also all the players brought in last year don't need to relearn how to set up here
Luca playing 15 games each with Richie and Bernie ahead of him.
Andre playing 25 learning how Siggy plays.
What's all that worth?

Someone genuinely went to the trouble of typing out that load of guff

Makes me feel infinitely better about my own life
 
Tbh I already rate Brands work this window a 6/7 out of 10. We've offloaded fringe players with potentially more going out and brought in exciting and what we would expect to be better players. Whole squad is starting to have depth and competition for starting spots. Zaha and a CB tomorrow and it's probably one of the best windows we've had.
Outs
Gana 29m
Lookman 22m
Vlasic 14m
McCarthy 8.5m
Williams 2.5m
Robinson 2m
Possibly tomorrow
Henry 13m
Besic 5m
96m
Ins
Gomes 22m
Kean 27.5m
Gbmain 25m
Delph 8.5m
Sidibe 2m (Loan)
Lossl (free)
85m
Tell will tell if it’s good business but we are doing well to be breaking even at this point. This doesn’t include the numerous loan fees we have for players.
