We’ll get the signings in, I’m convinced that much. I just don’t want to see big wage wastemen rock up for the sake of a signing

Same i agree is frustrating that havent got key positions in earlier to be with the team training now. But i agree still think we will end the window on a positive note wont be everything fixed but will be alot better

I actually think the issue is a lack of decisions being made rather than bad decisions.

Things have been allowed to drift.

We are now playing catch up which could lead to irrational decisions.

More likely it’s down to simply the attractiveness of the proposition.

We want good players, most good players don’t want to come to us. We have no European football, we can’t pay mega wages, we don’t win anything, we’re an irrelevance to anyone of football playing age now.

So we either buy poor players

Or overpay to get good ones who may not want to be here

Or take a risk with big money on a prospect who could become good (Barry) or player who is good but something wrong making them available (Luiz, Grealish etc.)

We don’t really want to do any of these but we’re getting into the part of the window where a cautious manager like Moyes might start being more open to this.

I’ve no doubt that if he’d have wanted to Moyes could have filled all the vacant positions with deals for Coufal Antonio Ings Ward Prowse Longstaff Fellows etc. alongside offering the contracts that Doucoure Young Calvert Lewin wanted. There’d be lots of moaning about a very different problem then which would be the hoarding of complete rubbish players.

I think Moyes wants a higher quality of player and he’ll make do with smaller squads and players playing multiple positions if it means not wasting money on poor players. He’s shown he’ll do that in the past.

I honestly trust him more than anyone else that’s recruited at Everton since him though. He gets through the door people who want to play for him and want to play for the club. Give me that over Schneiderlin Siggurdson Moise Kean Klaasen etc. who literally were only here because we eventually found the right price at which their parent club were saying please just go and we paid them through the nose to be here.

I'm defo not in the wet sheets brigade but it is undeniable that there is an awful lot to do to make this squad competitive and have reasonable depth.

Every day that goes by with no additions makes that job harder.

I'm still reasonably confident that we will eventually bring in quality and numbers but obviously the delay is frustrating and unhelpful.
