we're linked with a lot of crap players
Its true this, some of the rubbish we get linked with we wouldn't of bought even stuck with Walter Smiths budget.

surprised there hasn't been even a pretend Gotze rumor.
Buy Julian Draxel and we're on!
Deja vuI am not panicking just yet (as some seem to be) but at the same time I am a little disappointed. It's approaching mid-July and we've signed a reserve goalie for a nominal fee. It's just another average Everton summer.
Don't get me wrong I know there are reasons for the lack of action so far:
1) getting Koeman in took a while due to complications with Southampton
2) possible delay in getting transfer action started due to wanting a director of football (which it appears we're now not going to get)
3) all decent players are/were at the euros/copa America and are now on holiday
4) Koeman possibly wanted to start pre-season and see what he had before bidding for new players (although in my opinion you don't need to watch Kone train to know he's no good)
5) possibly the key reason for the delay-we don't know if stones and lukaku are leaving which wcould alter our transfer plans in a huge way.
However, certain issues are starting to worries me now. Why re-sign Gibson? Yeah, I know he's decent when fit but any of the current top 6 teams would've released him without thinking. You could say he is good back up, but the point of being a good back up player is that you are ready to come in when needed. Gibson isn't a good back because he's injured 50% of the time. Sod's law, when we need him he'll be unavailable.
I'm also a little worried about our supposed new wealth. Moshiri seems to be worth anything from 1.2-1.8 billion depending on who you ask. Ok, that's more than I'll ever have but in football terms it's not really that much. Especially in this brave new world where Watford are able to reject a £25 million bid for Troy Deeney. If your saying moshiri has 1.8 billion. That's "only" £1800 million. Equating to 56 Troy Deeneys (and that's without wages). Be surprised if he's going to blow his net worth 2-3 years of backing Everton in the transfer market.
In short I can totally understand people's frustrations. Evertonians have had false dawns before and are rightly pessimistic. With Moshiri for me it's a case of "show me the money" and when I see it I'll believe it.
p.s. mata and Witsel are goo players/better than what we have. However I'm. It too bothered if we miss out on them.

Perisic
Howedes
I think some people need to get realistic. We have finished bottom half of the league last 2 seasons and have no European football to offer. West Ham are London based and have just moved into the Olympic stadium and they are struggling to land targets. The premier league has never been more competitive than it is now. Lots of clubs have money to spend. I.e Bournemouth bidding 15m for Ibe to illustrate the point. IMO witsel and mata are 2 very good players and will improve us no doubt in two key areas. A year ago it would be unheard of for us to be in there for their signatures. As for some claiming we should be aiming higher than these to land a 'marquee signing' just who do they think we can attract. If ever a fanbase has had to show patience over the year it's everton's. A little more patience is required now, as the euros and copa America has delayed our planning, as I've no doubt Koeman and moshiri will have us undoubtedly stronger come the start of the season.
Kimmich is at Bayern and highly rated, no chanceI like Perisic but I think he is difficult to get at the minute, not seen Howedes but there was a decent German right back in kimmich so I think he looked class.
Worth a punt ? compition for Coleman
