I’m made up that we signed another midfielder. It’s been a weak spot on this team for several years. Gana has papered over some cracks for much too long, but we just have to get better on the ball in the middle of the field to control the game. KDH and hopefully Merlin can help bring that. I...

You’d hope too that after pursuing Tete that we have other targets and are just waiting for them to become available? Maybe Tete wasn’t the number one target and more of an opportunistic thing, but to go from having agreed to sign a RB to radio silence has been a little weird.

Hopefully they “accidentally” route the offer to Sevilla for this Juanlu guy instead. Sorry Davy, lots of moving parts but now we’re out of money, just loans from here on out.

Good player, I’ve always really like watching him play. He’s not a DM but he is physical and tough. But for me he’s too slow and not getting any quicker. I don’t think he should play in a midfield two. In the Doucoure role he’d be good, albeit not the profile of player I wish we were after. But...

I’ve said it a couple of times and I’ll say it again. He was playing 5th tier in France three years ago. Any expectation that he’d immediately flash elite level traits as a striker in his first few games in England is totally laughable. He’s improved everywhere he’s been and there’s no reason...

While I’d like to see KDH played further back and Grealish brought central (Illy, Jack, Dibling behind the ST), as of now I’m doubting we see that much from the start. We have quite a lot of evidence so far that Moyes is wanting to having more of a midfielder in that role behind the striker...

Fantastic result. Really important to get off to a good start at HD. And the worries about injuries and out of place players is hugely eased. Garner and Tim much, much better today, and having Grealish for the full 90 improved everyone else on the pitch.

And the defensive commitment on top of it…..what a player

We could just not?

Exactly. He was playing the equivalent of fifth tier football about three years ago. Everyone at Everton and their mothers knew he was raw. People need to relax. If you want to argue about the use of limited funds and whether purchasing a raw player at this particular junction was smart, that’s...

The fact that I now can’t decide what’s more urgent between CM, RW and RB tells me everything. It was a big job this summer but we’re in a horrible position, especially for our first season in the new stadium. I understand they had to wait until July 1 but there’s no excuse for not having more...

Had us flying last season compared to Dyche. Doesn’t totally excuse tonight, but he had a tough draw with injuries and poor recruitment. Three of our starting eleven were playing out of position out of necessity. It’s really tough. Let’s give him some time here before the knives come out.

It worked out pretty well for Onana. The only thing would be if RS is really the “club of his dreams” or whatever then he’s likely have to settle for a different PL club for his next move, but I take those comments with a grain of salt.

Yeah at his age and the fact that’s he’s on a free you might be absolutely right. For what’s it’s worth I’d rather just give that spot to Armstrong, but I also won’t be complaining if it happens.

Yeah I’d guess he’d be here one season. Which if we make a profit would be fine, but the club and fans should be clear eyed about it. I’m guessing we’ve totally moved on from him, but it’d be exciting if not.
