Why he was crap, can’t control a ball scores 1 in 20

Defence is actually the one position where on a paper we have two players per position
Pickford/Travers
Coleman/Patterson Tarkowski/Keane Branthwaite/O’Brien. Mykolenko/Aznou
We can manage an injury but it will be annoying for me if once again Everton start a season with Michael Keane playing.

No we aren't... and this is exactly the kind of short term thinking that got us into an almighty mess under Moshiri in the first place!

If I see another cliched former loanee from Leeds joke about no other options from a sadsack poster, I'm going to turn into the joker. Hey be my guest in being frustrated from the lack of business but just be original if you're going to make an attempt at cleverness

It isn’t at all.
We have no squad. Keep burying your head in the sand and pretending we’re on track and everything’s fine. Our manager flat out disagrees with you and agrees with me.

Yup, I won't be listening to any excuses if we go there and lose. A largely unchanged side (even allowing for a few knocks) is an advantage at this stage of the season. Moyes is no fool. This is not his first rodeo. He'll know if recruitment fails this summer he's toast. He'll have to come up with a plan B. But the bigger picture is these new owners are showing deep naivety and incompetence in a summer of transformation. We've got bigger problems than the manager...
No we’re trying to sign players who are interested but are good enough that champions league clubs might make a move so they’re waiting to see all their options before committing, it’s not like we’re approaching Mbappe
Honestly I much prefer this than filling our squad early with ‘good players who do a job’

That bench is literally better than some of the ones we had last season with two keepers and youth players sat on it.
It’s not where anyone wants it to be but it’s still more than enough to play a game against Leeds. Stop acting like they’re about to unleash Modric Kroos and Bale off their bench after the 60 minute mark to run us ragged.
The club seriously needs to change their approach in the market not going for those "elite" as they clearly want European football we've been a struggling club for too long players don't have enough commitment for Everton currently it's either that and they overpay on players and back to square one with moaning fans

No we aren't. We will be at that point in the last week of the window if we miss all of our targets.
At the moment we are being ambitious with the sort of player we want and yeah, we won't be the first choice for many of them but many of them won't get their first choice so it's a waiting game and it's unbelievably frustrating and somewhat concerning but if we just go and buy midtable players then nobody should be throwing their toys out of the pram when Moyes can't get us above 12th or whatever this season.
I'd rather wait and deal with the stress of it than get Jack Harrison and Josh Brownhill in and accept defeat.

Well, if they'll come, and we are serious about them, it's only a matter of time before we'll have to stump up. But it seems to me that we can't get players mainly because we are viewed as a big history Coventry City after 30 years of Kenwright.

He seems frustrated. There will be a squad,mate.

If he 'agreed' with you, then where are Harrison, Coufal, Brownhill et al mate? surely he'd have brought them in long before now if he thought that we didn't have a squad at all?
I can smell the wee from here now mate, fair play!
We need to get a move on, I think that much is undeniable now. All the 'it'll be fine there's no need to worry' stuff doesn't work when the manager is saying there's a problem and we need to hurry up.
That being said, I think it's a bit simplistic to say it's just because we've been setting our sights too high and if we move a bit down the list it'll all be fine. Surely nobody thinks trying to get Kenny Tete on a free was us setting our sights too high, and yet that's what we did, and he turned us down. Making out like only the very best of the best will be turning us down seems a bit of a leap, it's perfectly plausible that seemingly attainable targets aren't impressed by what they hear, what wages we can offer, what our plans for them are etc. 'I only want players who want to be here' is a great throwaway line, but the reality is loads of players won't particularly want to be here, and not only the elite ones.
