Everton's ability to sign players?

Rudolf Hucker · August 13, 2016

I'm hearing from various sources that Koeman is less than impressed / raging about the club's performance in the market. I have no idea how true this is btw. It wouldn't be any great surprise though, would it..

So we've got Moshiri in, he's got the funds & ambition, but I doubt he's ever sat down with a player & done the deal.
Koeman is clearly a Coach & doesn't get involved.
Steve Walsh was responsible for identifying targets, but doubt he did the business..

So it looks like for all the changes, were still relying on "old Everton" to close business. Same old bungling, same old rickety trestle table. Negotiating multi-million£ deals is a big job & agents will run rings round an amateur. Definitely a job where the best talent is required.

Let's hope this is being looked at as a matter of urgency.

You heed to link your sources before coming out with this.

Koeman is 'raging' ??

Really ?

I don't know anything about this but he had a face like thunder in his last press meeting and didn't want to discuss transfers which tells it's own story.

Sell first - bank money - try to buy on the cheap and never-never

The Everton (Transfer) Way..

Has been this way for decades.

Descent managers should never talk about players from other teams though...thats a mourinho trick.

IMHO,look no further than the club executives whose execution has been negligent.

He said he didn't want to transfers at all.

I think it's obvious to all we haven't been able to sign the calibre of players we set out to. That's thanks to the state we were left in after Roberto's reign. Let's wait to see how things are at the end of the transfer window, and what Koeman actually says/ does. He's not a singing and dancing happy man ala Martinez, so give it a bit of time, see what he gets out of the team first.

This must be the most amazing summer of hysteria, especially when you consider only in recent history we've been on the brink of collapse in 2004, could barely afford to bring in a free transfer 2010-2012, and nearly got destroyed under our last manager. We've so far brought in a couple of really decent players, with all the indications that we're still going to bring in a number more, if not of the quality that we first anticipated. Certainly not apoplectic. Chill out FFS.
