It doesn't matter what we call it. Sky, TNT, BBC, ITV, International broadcasters, Radio stations will be saying the likes of 'And now over to the Hill Dickinson...' and 'our next live game will be at the Hill Dickinson, Everton vs..". In fact if...

I don't really mind who got the naming rights (within limits) and they went with the highest offer. It was clear there was going to be a limited market for it, and we are not as attractive a proposition as some think. Yet they say they got...

Despite new owners, it still seems the Everton hierarchy are surprised that buying better players costs more money. In another surprising twist, teams who currently own better players aren’t desperate to get rid of them. This will take some time...

I think we're all against feast or famine in terms of spending. But we have some way to go this summer to striking a balance on that score. We need to see a lot more spent on players all over the pitch.

I'd still be astonished if we haven't a couple more in over the next 10 days. That's probably a best case scenario now though and then await the scramble on deadline day. Provided we get a couple in before that it wouldn't be a total disaster...

So here in lays our problem due a lack of activity. Everyone knows our need for bodies and as the window gets smaller,our bargaining power becomes weaker and weaker....which always leads to overpayment.

Kinnear has not been in place very long. Two of the new four don’t join until September. We are a work-in-progress organisationally and it is showing. It is not what we would ideally want in a window where we have to buy a minimum of 7-8 in total...

Ultimately they'll get it in the neck from us,and as we've seen with their front office turn over at Roma,necks are on the chopping block from the get go. This is absolutely one area we shouldn't be worried about. If you're bringing heat on the...

For a supposedly organised group it is a bit mad that they didn't have the foresight to asses the squad/contracts and have things in place for this summer really.

My concern is that they've gone all in on trying to get a small number of targets and have been rebuffed by players and/or clubs. It's late but not too late in the day to go after backup options. It is late to be putting a B list together now...

Stop posting that blert please mate.

That was good from Silva. He acknowledges some anxiety but says they'll still be busy. It's the excuses that people don't like, he didn't make any.

I say what I see about our recruitment. I've been very unimpressed for years with our recruitment and I need to see action before I will say things have changed. I don't think I'm being negative for the sake of it. I don't think anyone can...

It is a tough balance, but when you need as many players as we do, then you need to be pragmatic. Yes you want to try and get your number 1 or 2 target, but there comes a point where you have to move on and make sure that you still get someone...

Isn't the TV money due to land soon? Maybe that has something to do with it? God, I'm clutching here.
