New Everton Owners: The Friedkin Group

[Bluesnapper]

It was a very decent spend. However....

...the Rohl cash is not up front, it's next season. There's a loan deal for Grealish. We bought a player we already had on loan. We got two GKs in for £3M.

IMO we didn't spend well enough with the Barry money. And I'm not entirely convinced on the Dibling signing. That cash should have gone to RB + another (and different) strikers - either loan deals or fee payment.

They did ok in terms of backing us. Not 'unprecedented' by any means. And they recruited people to spend a lot of that cash on strange signings. So they're responsible ultimately for that too.

Which part of Moyes saying (I am paraphrasing) 'the squad cant be fixed in one transfer window' that you dont understand?

Aston Villa fans will be wondering how they can afford 80% of Jadon Sancho's salary and still miss out on Jack Grealish...

Kudos to the Friedkins on this one.

I think Moyes got to Grealish early on after he realised his was surplus to Peps small squad needs.

I do like the recruitment team the Freidkins have put together. Much better than Thelwell no?

We've needed a RB for years. We've needed a CF who can score regularly for years. We got neither.

I'm not sure about your maths here Dave. Alcaraz £12 mill, Dibling £35 mill, Dewsbury Hall £28 mill, Barry £27.5 mill, Aznou £8 mill, back up keeper £4 mill. So, even if you don't count the £21 mill obligation for Rohl or the £12 mill loan fee for Grealish,which they have had to finance that is still well over £110 mill. Stop digging yourself deeper in..

Subtract Chermiti and the net spend that you get to and I get to is £10M apart.

So well over double what was spent by Roma. You know what Dave, I'm glad you were never a ship mate of mine, you have so many negative vibes on any given subject it becomes hard work.

Whether you rate him or not, Beto has been scoring regularly under Moyes.

Losing our first team Doctor too Man Utd it seems, not sure if that's good or bad tbh, we don't exactly have a stellar fitness/medical record over recent times. Would still like to see a proper set piece coach at some point but that's just me.

Can you imagine what he would be like under a manager that actually rates him

The set pieces are infuriating. We don’t look close to scoring at all from any of them, and we’ve got a massive team.

Love a good old multi quote ( within reason of course )

I think we are one of two clubs in the league that doesn't have a dedicated person, some clubs actually have two, one for attacking and one for defensive. Yes we have a big team now but we can't spend the whole season lobbing it too the back post for someone to head back across the box, will get stuffed out pretty quickly imo. Let's get some variations in there with someone who knows what they're doing unlike Charlie Adam.

Moyes said RB wasn’t a priority
He said at the end of last year that we needed more creativity and goals
With Grealish Dibling and KDH he has delivered that
A prover goalscorer costs a lot of money Isak Mbeumo (sp) Wissa ,Jackson etc
Money we are not allowed to spend

Last nice free move I remember was Beto in the Derby. Can`t think of any other that wasn`t a shot or a lump into the box.

That's simply not true.
