United will always go for flagship signings and the Lukaku/Pogba egos to match the fee. We will buy hungry, good players and that way a team is created. I have every confidence in our management team. Roll on next season.

That’s actually a really good post and I agree with a lot of it
Those players are not going to be able to make up for the loss of Hazard.

Is right, he’s just as greasy as Mendes and Raiola if not worse.

You’re trying too hard now.
We’ve spent a truck load of money under Moshiri. Unfortunately we just had idiots like Koeman and Allardyce in charge of it.

There is more to bring a successful football club than just chucking money at it, as many clubs have demonstrated.
Failures like Bill Kenwright and Woods need to be removed and forward thinking professionals brought in.
Mendes is using Wolves as a shop window
First good offer for any of his clients and they are off and he gets a wedge in agents fees
Excellent post and I think Brands is the key to the whole project
I think Moshiri trusts and believes in Brands
If Brands tells Moshiri to stick / twist with Silva Moshiri will take his advice
Brands has shown his worth in the transfer market and I’m sure he knows the fringe players at the bigger clubs who would suit us
Malcolm and Semerdo ( sp) at Barca are 2 I’d say he has looked at and I’m sure there’s more around Europe
Give Brands this window and the deals done early and there’s no reason we can’t have a crack at the top six next season

But I think Silva has done a lot to improve us imo - and this is from someone who was papping himself at one point, wondering where the next win was going to come from and if we could even defend!
1) In conjunction with Brands, the signings have been superb.
2) The football has been much better on the whole - Although you could say that shouldn't be difficult after Allardyce
3) The players that were already here have shown vast improvements in areas of their games. Keane, DCL, Sigurdsson, Coleman, Gana, Schneiderlin to name a few - though I fear Walcott and Tosun are beyond help. This is down to our players actually being coached for once.
4) We are actually playing a system other than 4-5-1 - which whatever our respective managers might have called it, is what we've played since 2004.
5) We are showing a mix between possession based movement of the ball and getting it forward quickly into good areas - which we've all been crying out for for years.
6) We have actually started to beat the 'big' clubs again.
7) We have put in our best 2 derby performances for years.
8) There is a real togetherness and team spirit amongst the players again.
9) Even when we were going through our terrible run, the players never simply downed tools and stopped playing for the manager - how often can we say that in football these days?
10) We came through an incredibly difficult patch to improve massively.
11) Unlike any of our previous managers (Moyes included) he seems willing to try new things and actually learn from his mistakes.
12) Case in point - our defence now looks totally solid.
13) He has grown into the role of Everton manager and even though he can sometimes be difficult to understand, many of his answers and actions over the last few months have been both classy and brilliant.
14) Silva has never tried to talk down expectation- without resorting to hyperbole either.
15) The players seem to have really bought into what it means to play for this club - which is vitally important as I thought we were losing this.
16) He didn't have most of his signings available to him at the start of the season, but by the end when they were up to speed, we look good.
17) He doesn't have a proper striker - but has still found a system that works.
18) He has rebuilt the bond between fans and players and the atmosphere at Goodison has improved- enormous credit also goes to the Originals and every one else involved here.
19) We have more points than last season.
20) With the level of mess inherited, it could easily have taken 3 or 4 years just to get back to the level we are currently at - he has seriously arrested a potential disaster in the making!

too little too late.
people said give him a season, he had a season and got the same position as allardyce (and even thats not certain yet)
now people are saying lets give him an other season.
he could of been sacked earlier on in the year and no doubt next year will be the same.
if the moneys is there ask someone like conte or morinho and see what they can do, no more of this "lets give an up and coming manager a chance" nonsense. we had that with martinez
