This thread was started just after the summer window closed.. has 710 pages over ten and a half thousand responses... and it now looks like we won't sign a single first team player..EVERTON
On some level it's been a general transfer discussion thread. I know my posts at least have not been focused on just this window.
 

The season was written off after Marco Silva failed to capitalise on the easiest start we will ever have.
How did he do that? I 100% believed that junk players like Schneiderlin, Theo, Tosun would not be anywhere near the Everton team at the start of the season. They were. I do feel like Marco Silva wanted none of the players at the club when he arrived, and was still having to play all these players who Everton fan think are bad when he was sacked.

And yet we’re playing them all now and getting results. Hell even Duncan Ferguson got results with them.
 
Can we get rid of the January transfer market? Pointless really...cant watch more than 5 minutes the transfer show on sky...cant believe those people are making a living out of just waffling and same crap every day....just making it up as they go along. Useless.
 

No pub for me, I've not been to a pub since work Christmas party early December.

It worries me that there are apparently so many Everton fans - people whose love and passion for Everton I don't doubt for a second - who just can't grasp a fairly basic understanding of the thought process that has to go into transfers by the people doing the job. People can't grasp that if we don't sign anyone in January, it probably means that nobody was available that was worth signing at this time. There could be a number of reasons why that would be the case. But some fans are so desperate for the adrenaline rush that comes with signing new players, that they don't care who we sign... as long as it's someone. I'm convinced that is all that many of you want to get out of this, that adrenaline rush, so you can feel like this is the player to solve all our problems.

And far too many of you can't seem to grasp the complexities of making a deal to transfer a human from one club to another. I see so many posts on here that liken the transfer window to someone putting together a shopping list and going to the store to buy whatever they want. For a transfer to happen, a ton of different variables all have to work. People trotting out the "they should have had transfers lined up months ago, why won't they sign someone" don't seem to get how fluid the game of football is and how often situations, needs, and wants change. And don't even get me started on the people that talk about signing a player "before other teams find out about them."
