John from Bootle
Player Valuation: £20m
Still relaxed tbh. Confident with Moyes at the helm. Always found the 'dithering' tag ridiculous tbh, y'know, seeing as he was absolutely second to nobody when it came to his transfer nous. Of all the things you could level at Moyes, having a go at his record in the market is not one of them. That's not to say there weren't mistakes but every manager gets some deals wrong.
Not every single player we show an interest in is neccesarily a goer either btw. I would bet good money there's been a lot of approaches that have ended with the player having zero interest in a move to England/Merseyside/Everton (take your pick.)
Then there's agents to deal with, people who won't always give you an honest and/or quick answer. I've listened to Gary Neville talk about what goes on in the window."I don't mind if an agent says to me, 'I've got that club, that club and that club [interested], or it's between your two. Whatever they tell me, I've no problem with, as long as it's straight," Neville says. "I just want straight talk." "It's when I feel like they're using our offer to play it around the market. I can't deal with it."
