All valid points but Blackburn still manage to sign players. Their Manager went leaving a solid club behind. Moyes would be leaving a club left in turmoil. Anyway, we used to aspire to be better than Blackburn , didn't we?

Agree with you. Not just because of the WBA game needing a cookie to throw to pissed off fans though. For the last few weeks we've had a pattern of Weekend rumours that lead us to Monday/Tuesday of crossed finger optimism and finally the trail goes cold. Then we start all over again. C'mon...

With 10 days left we have a Manager saying we needed 7 players but may not get anyone now. We've a board who have gone silent and a general acceptance that the club is imploding. We will go to WBA today with possibly 9 experienced pros. Forget whether you blame Moyes, Kenwright, Ross, Wyness...

Good point - it's like we're not really trying. That or the akward question 'why should I sign if you haven't?' is being avoided.

Typical Everton. Other clubs break the rules and suss out if a player will come before they bother brokering a deal. We invest a week on doing a deal then he says 'not interested' ffs. We end up looking llike the ugly kid in a nite club on the walk of shame after getting knocked back by a very...

You speak sense as ever. Just think in this case the 3rd option was tell us the truth from the start. We CAN handle the truth. It's the false optimism that kills us

I guess the problem for supporters is not so much zero signings as the fact we've been misled all summer. I've no problem on June 1st hearing were financially screwed and we won't be buying. The watch this space, night and day , 3 in this week bullshit is too hard to take though. Of course we'll...

Interesting English language Juve message board about Tiago. http://www.juventuz.com/forum/showthread.php?p=1725569 Some disagreement but general view is they can't wait to be rid of him but he is not willing to leave.

Transfer window open 81 days , players signed 0 Transfer window days left 12, players needed 7 (1GK, 4 MidF, 1 CF, 1 Defensive MidF) Current links: Tiago - Does not want to come back to England - chance of happening 30% Moutinho- Club does not want to sell for a price we can pay-chance 5%...

Despair works better now - lets you kid yourself that you know the worst may happen but you are ready to accept it. Say things like I 'know we won't sign anyone' when you secretly hope to be proved wrong. If we don't , at least you can be the smug git saying 'I told you so'.

Are the club leaking rumours of deals far to early to give the impression of activity when really they are not in a position to do a deal? Reason I ask is the Tiago link is knocking round for 5 or 6 days but going nowhere. When other clubs sign players, it's day 1 story in paper, day 2 deal...

That's exactly what BK is trying to do. Just right = World Class, Under 28, available on loan, wages of £6K per week. Soon as he finds someone who fits the bill, he'll snap them up. Or tell the press what a great deal we are getting , alerting Villa, City , Newcastle etc to steal them away.

1st time for everything. I'm probably too touchy now that life involves waiting till 1am to see if any of the online papers have some rumours of a signing. Can't believe that just last Sunday BBC were saying Everton are close to signing some players. By Monday one website had a story titled...

Sorry to have offended but maybe I did not make my point well 1st time. We need 7 players minimum. They cannot all be quality so lets say 3 quality and 4 squad players. Even if we struggle with the big buys, that's no reason why we struggle with the loans/lesser players to fill out the squad...

That does not work and Moyes knows it. Wasn't Neville the DM the night we were slaughtered in Bucharest. I thought the only good thing coming out of that game was we found out one position it is unsafe to let Neville play.

Agree completely. The people saying we'll be ok with our players back all include VDM in the list. Last year, nobody gave a toss if he was fit or not. Sums up how weakend we are.

Come August 31st we'll have a thread like this except it will be 2 Minibus loads of players arriving in. Whoever said their boss puts new players up will be setting up a tented village near Finch Farm. Local charities will be handing out soup and blankets while they queue for their medicals...

Moyes said after Blackburn we are short 6 or 7 players. At that number, only some of them are likely to be real quality but the others could be on loan from clubs who don't want them or Championship signings. I can't figure out why those deals were not done early in the summer while working on...

Thing is lots of clubs are F**ked financially but still sign players because they shop where they can afford to buy. We're worse because it looks like the board are pretending there are substantial funds available, probably in a vain effort to keep Moyes onboard. Someone said earlier, we need...

I don't think many people really think Moyes is to blame for the lack of activity and hopefully realise the dithering tag is probably spin from anti Moyes people at the club. What I do blame Moyes for is allowing this charade of funds being in place to go on all summer. He should have brought...
