Three french nationality center mids is definitely a first for Everton (both Gueye and Onana will have that)

I think he said we were signing James McArthur, we never did, but then it came out that he was at Finch Farm for a coaching badge, but by then the damage was done.

Like a Neto* or Podence signing, clear Thelwell influences in both of those I suspect. Neat and tidy. Low risk if it happens.
* as in, "under the radar"

Yes we do have an idea. Lampard said six weeks.
I think everyone at the club recognises the need to sign a striker. We will sign someone. If we have to wait a couple of weeks it won't be the end of the world though.

Felt sorry for him as he was a genuine ITK. He came out with quite a lot of info on our manager search too IIRC. In that epic Moyes replacement thread
Shane Duffy gone to Fulham

Biggest issues last season were thus:
1. The centre of defence was a disgrace.
2. We had zero support from central midfield ahead of the defence.
Now we have a new starter in defence in Tarkowski, and potentially looking at strengthening further in that position. And we're on the verge of signing two solid central midfielders.
I see that as identifying the issues and solving them so that we don't suffer the same fate this season.
Yet if we don't sort out the striking issue I still see us in a relegation fight.

I dunno, with Dwight Sheedy and 10 players over 6 foot we will score about 60 from corners alone.
Happy for Shane O that he can continue his Premier League career
How many years is that now that he's played top flight football?
Not bad for a player I was assured was lower league for life
Decent lad . Will have a tough job as a defender for Marco though. Not sure it will suit him
If Gana and Onana arrive soon after Tarkowski, Vinagre and McNeil then we will have to loan out or sell a couple of big earners, otherwise the payroll will quickly become problematic.
Our wage to income ratio was catastrophic prior to the departure of Delph, Tosun, Sigurdsson, Kenny and Richarlison. We've trimmed between £330k and £400k p/w off the payroll by shifting those lads but Tarkowski and McNeil could be on anywhere between £100k and £150k p/w combined. If we add more faces (and I hope we do) then the payroll will grow. At a certain point we'll have to reduce it again.
Allan and Keane are on at least £70k p/w each; Gomes and Mina rumoured to both be in excess of £100k p/w. Realistically all four need to be sold if possible.
