I think you'll be in a group of about 7teams and could finish anywhere between 5th and 12th. The league at the moment is very tight and with most teams improving it will be a tough season for everyone. Hope you all good luck as I have a soft spot for Everton.

This is not bad weed and you obviously ain't the victim so it's easy to comment. First he took one quote out of 20 sth which I wrote out of frustration on a player and took things out of context to suit his perspective. Then he even made up quote and assused me I wrote it. He was winding me up hoping to get a reaction from me. Like your 15 years old son. I tell you what, think about a person who consistent winding up others in a forum for fun. He has nothing to do in daily life other than a sad keyboard warrior.

You have to learn to just chill out mate, and take it all with a pinch of salt.
 

....based on pre-season performance and with no significant signings at this stage I am pessimistic but that mood will change if the saga of supposed in comings turns to reality. I even checked relegation odds this morning, as low as 16-1 with Hills but as high as 33-1 with Skybet.

I thought we were poor last night against weak opposition but much depends on the next few weeks.
 
I have mixed feelings like many at the moment

I'm hugely optimistic about ownership, restructuring, stadium opportunity.

I'm very positive about Koeman and his coaching staff.

I'm concerned about the risk of losing Stones and (mainly) Lukaku.

I'm frustrated by the lack of signings but not panicking (yet).

I expect it to take 2-3 years to truly reverse the Roberto damage to the squad and the sports science, analytical capability.

I'd be OK, not happy, not suicidal, with 7-10th this season.

I'd like us to play a souped up U-23 team in the whatever-the-hell-the-league-cup-is-called-this-year as the need for a trophy needs to be balanced with building a future.

My worst fear is not that we don't spend net £100m but that we buy over-priced average players in an inflated market where our lack of European football means we can't get the best players we target.

Pretty much sums up my thought too.

Agree with your forecast, but with the benefit of better quality football.
I also believe there will be additions to the squad, whether they are the ones we hope for is another matter. But i for one do take the dross printed in the Daily editions with a large pinch of.
My main reason to believe sounds almost negative. In fact, it is so negative, I do believe it has become an interrogative.
It is this. I don't believe Koeman, Walsh et al would have left clubs who were better placed than Everton, and with whom they had seemingly safe jobs, if they had not have seen the project placed in front of them. And more importantly, believed it.
Despite what we all think about the wealth in the game, money alone would not have induced them.
 

Voted pessimistic on the basis that there has been no strengthening of the squad - in fact the opposite if Stones and Lukaku move on.
Pre-season is always meaningless, but this pre-season has been more meaningless than ever.
If Moshiri, Koeman and Walsh really mean business I'd like to see some action rather than looking like we're drifting aimlessly towards the start of the season.
 
Optimistic

Mainly because for the first time we have the finances to build something

But patience will needed in this optimism....
