I get the stress around us not having signed all our targets, but the reasons for that have been documented by the club in the last few days. For to long Everton have bought badly and it seems thereās a change in strategy, in that we are seemingly all out for our top targets.
For to long there was no strategy, no direction and no team in place. I get the need for signings and the need for fans to see it happen quickly but patience is required if they havenāt done what they said come close if window then itās time to panic.
Change isnāt coming over night. But it has to start at the top and start now, only then can things really change in the long term. Iām sure this wonāt be a popular opinion and time will tell if this change is long lasting, but this feels different than the last few years. Just hopefully different in a better way!
Absolutely clueless. Every single agent in the world is going to say yes, he'd love to join make a bid and let's agree the wage packet. What is the downside from their perspective to doing so? Either the player says yes and then all good for the agent's fee or the player says no and our bid might flush out other bidders/get them to improve their offer. Have you never been involved in an auction process before? You want as many interested parties as possible to stay in for as long as possible. Even the player could lead us down the garden path to keep his options open. Newsflash for you, human being mislead each other and aren't always honest.
