Name these other clubs that have been so ferocious and quick in signing up their summer targets. I've got all day.
Well the transfer window hasn’t officially opened yet. Nor did I say that everyone else had already bought their players - the only ones I’m aware of were pre-agreed, being Keita to the RS and Perreira from porto to Leicester.
Nonetheless,
Moyes left West Ham on the same day as we sacked Allardyce and they’ve already announced Pellegrini, in my opinion a better (and certainly more proven) manager than Silva. Once he’s finally in, he’ll need to sit down with Brands and the board to discuss potential plans and transfers, etc, etc. My point was that everything with Everton drags out so long. Think of the Koeman appointment and how slow our dealings were after he arrived and took all his bloody holidays.
In a World Cup year, it is imperative to hit the ground running and do business early, including getting a bloody manager in.
