I do reckon we’ll spend £25m+ on a RW as it’s just so crucial we secure a good quality one. But this is Everton and we don’t always do the business that’s required…
Do wonder if Kinnear and Hammond will be particularly keen to get a few in the door within the next week or so. The current inactivity doesn’t exactly paint them in a good light just a few months into a new role.
Sounds like we’re going all out for McAtee/Kubo doesn’t it. My one concern is us waiting around for an answer from them only to then be in a sticky situation if they don’t come to fruition.
Completely agree, could be some really embarrassing scoreline against teams operating at a similar level to us. Bit disappointed that they’re going over with such a tiny squad tbh.
Think what helped Moyes a lot in his first spell here was that he was very much an early adopter of data and analytics (remember us having a link with Football Manager at some point?) so that probably gave us a bit of an upper hand. Since then football has moved on to a point where every club...
I’d be a lot calmer if we had at least one right winger signed up, McNeil can maybe play there in a pinch but is much better on the left/central so hope we’ve got one coming in soon.
Just a few months ago Moyes said this “There’s a stadium. It looks the business, it looks elite so we need to get some elite players so we can give something for everybody to shout about when we move into it.”
I imagine he’s gonna be pretty miffed with the hierarchy if they don’t deliver him...
Listening to the Bobble’s podcast (don’t judge me) and it seems excuses are already being made by saying Kinnear/Hammond have only been in their jobs since May etc.
I honestly think them going over to the US next week with the squad in the state it’s currently in is really poor tbh. We don’t...
Seems strange that we’re willing to spend money on a backup GK when there’s plenty available for free (do think Travers would be a very reliable backup though).
I imagine Barry will be announced pretty early this week tbh, just would’ve been incredibly crass to do it immediately after what happened on Thursday.
