Excuses, why?

Oh look, Zat shoehorning a criticism of Moyes in to yet another post. Ever tried backing a manager who's not your perfect manager? You've backed enough players who've amounted to nothing over the years.

Oh look, some random on the internet creating an 'agenda' that doesnt exist to have a pop.

I've backed Moyes when you were in short trousers sonny jim. Theres nothing new in Moyes, you havent taken his skillset into account in your post.

Perhaps you can find a post of mine saying Moyes is a bad coach? You wont.

You'll find plenty about his (lack of) ability in the transfer market.

Because hes dreadful at some things and great at others.

Its called having a balanced view.

Funny how this works, now youre the one with the agenda.

I’d argue it’s the best transfer window we’ve had in years when you look at what we’ve done the past decade. The issue now is not money or ambition, but how poorly we’ve been performing for years in complete decline and reputation. We’ve got to change that and we are.

If we had the winning ways of a top 10 side, I think the point is stronger about being a poor transfer window. Given where we are, I’d say well done on who we brought in and who we dumped out that was overdue. You don’t attract the likes of KDH, Barry, and Grealish if they aren’t seeing that upswing from last season. Players know and they take note.

Why wouldnt KDH be 'attracted to Everton' ?

He's never delivered above 'good' in the premier league, hes unwanted at his club and hes lucky a club as big as ours has come in for him.

A player i wanted 2 years ago to balance the midfield with Garner. That was when we were fighting relegation, no one was interested in him -- last year he got his move due to his old boss. No competition, this year who else bid for him?

Grealish is another unwanted player who can live at home in Cheshire and play for Everton on the same City funded salary. No one was buying him and hes elected for the option of playing down the road.

Barry -- He's not a stranger to a move and with a bigger stage and salary he wasnt likely staying at the yellow submarine was he?

Ive not seen any major coup's this summer. All the players signed were unwanted at their former clubs, aside from Barry.

Where there have been challenges, no players have been signed.

A lot of the uncertainty is dictated by budget, and exacerbated by PSR.

It's alright saying "just throw 50 million at that player", but what happens if that only leaves you with £15 million to get the next two in and then the parent clubs of those two won't accept less than £8 million a piece? Well, then you've got to try and get the £50 million player down to £49 million... Or go with a different strategy and sign different players.

I'm simplifying things there, because I know you'll get my point, but most fans don't even stop and consider these small margins that can make a big difference.

Wow i'd never thought that a budget meant there was a certain amount to spend. Gosh, who knew that signing players would impact others within a budget.

Great insight and well done to you putting down Evertonians.

Take a step back and look at £4mil wasted on Travers who was unwanted at Bournemouth or £28mil on KDH who Chelsea were desperate to shift.

Then look at this mess in 10 months time and keep up your stance when £150mil has been dropped and theres real issues with signing players, not only Moyes incompetence.

Literally every department??

I think we are well set Goalkeeper wise.


I think our centre Half's are pretty good.

I think our midfielders are more than serviceable.

Left wing is pretty much spot on.

We are certainly in better shape than we have been since 2020

Its all relative to spending £93mil

Though:

Keeper = Pickford, the rest are crap.
No improvement.

Defence = A CB at RB making Michael Keane 3rd choice. Aznou is promising.
No improvement.

Midfield = KDH signed who plays best in Gana's left sided midfield position.
Wait and see.

Wide = No right winger
No improvement

Attack = Grealish and Alcaraz in at 10 and Barry signed to compete with Beto
Major improvement.

Weve improved 9 and 10.

I think it’s been a great transfer window tbh.

Glad you had a nice night out. Hope you got home safely, careful with drinking too much mate.
