Dunno, I was told he was coming by my brother in law, who really shouldn't be trusted. I'm not sure I've even seen him play, I just like his digits from last season.

No doubt, but he did want him didn't he?

Indeed. Think many would have took the piss when Thelwell wanted him, though.

A new era. Elite players for an elite stadium. *Fast forward a month Moyes is moaning about not buying players. We're debating Josh Brownhill an Jack Harrison.

Something bubbling behind the scenes. He was outspoken about the owners on the last day of the season too. If he’s part of this consortium type thing on transfers then it’s on his head too. Got me thinking though that part of the “project”...

Alcaraz come from nowhere (though Thelwell did try an sign him before he went to Southampton, but alas, skint). Not sure the rest is true though - we all knew about players we've signed, long before they actually did.

All can be true, but still not sure it makes enough allowance to shrug an an say you can't force players to join us. This thread just goes around in circles mate. Some of my opinions below which touch on what you're saying there; On Fellows...

I read there was a change recently, and players out of contact get paid for a month after release. Unless they've signed elsewhere. Probably explains why so many free agents haven't moved yet. I honestly think there's every chance we'll go back...

I think this is fair comment, to your yesterday comment. Largely, and this isnt bedwetting, coz i dont really care too much about overprivaledged boys kicking a bag of wind about, whilst the change was needed, part of me thinks he did a decent...

Understandable when we had £0. Villa wanted him too, for the same reason - he was available for just a wage. But on attainability "you cant force players to sign, shrug", surely part of recruitment is identifying players who'd be willing to...

Maybe best reminding the club that mate, so they can go after players who want to join us.

Been avoiding this thread. Moyes is annoying me tho. His public comments won't be helping us convince players or negotiate fees, generally seems a ridiculous tone to take (unless he himself is unhappy and looking for a way out).

The neverending Everton cycle - Write off August due to lack of signings and a useful pre season. Sign a few cast offs on deadline day Lose 5 games out of the first 8 Get firmly rooted to the bottom of the table by October. Open a winter...

I find it incredible that we were not starting to speak to players and line deals up as soon as premier league survival was achieved last season. Maybe we couldn’t as TFG hadn’t got their team in place. Starting to feel that we’ve changed too...

This isn't the demeanor you want from your manager two weeks prior to the start of the season. He looks so downbeat and it's rubbing off on everyone. James Tarkowski gave an interview after the game yesterday and he looks stressed. Can only...
