Next season is really the big test !

[blueblue]

It will be the second season for RM , often the most difficult.
We have been told there is money to spendbut January was not the right time or the right players were not available. There can be no excuse in the summer..we sign players or just admit there is no money.

Season 2013/2014 was about the manager getting his feet under the table,next season will be the real test of his skills in the transfer market and his managerial skills.

We have done as well this season as I could have hoped,we have at least been as good or better than last season,but next season will probably give us a better indication of what the future holds under RM.

above all , imo ,we have to find a way to win games easier than we do,score goals easier than we do and turn our good play into greater dominance than we do.

Bobby is on record saying loaning players is the way forward, so I am a wee bit worried about that tbh but we may be fortunate and have a couple of kids coming through.

Nah, it will be the season after that. To see whether he cope with the stress of leading Everton to a second title whilst in the Champions League

See, I like optimism.

Nah mate, he won't need to cope with that in two years time as he'll be managing Barcelona.

There's only one Uwe Rosler.

I'm looking forward to next season. I'm looking forward to seeing how RM spends his transfer kitty (all £12 of it). The summer is going to be very interesting with the World Cup and the press linking the on-form player with a move elsewhere.

I'm going to guess RM has a list of players he wants, but will use the World Cup as a way to scout players he wouldn't usually look at.

Next season is going to be mad, i suspect it'll go similar to how this season has gone!

Just out of interest, how many loan players are allowed ?

For foreign players it's unlimited, where as for domestic players it's 2.

Thanks mate, think we will be known as the loan rangers.

There's no doubt RM will use the system to our advantage again next season. But it's interesting to see how RM will invest some of our own cash though.

RM has already said some of the youngsters are good enough to be in the squad next season. We've seen Ty Browning on the bench for the past couple of games, and obviously Stones has come in and impressed. It's nice to see some of Moyes deadwood slowly getting phased out by younger stars.

I'm optimistic about next season, but the test is always here and now. The test is today or never.

 

[blueblue]

The squad we have at present isn't even close to being able to be competitive in domestic competitions and play in Europe at the same time.
I believe that we do have a reasonable transfer budget...by Everton standards.
I think we may try to buy three or four players and also loan two or three as well.
Tyias Browning apart I am not convinced that our under21 players will be first team squad players next season.I think it may be another couple of seasons before the best of the unders 18s are ready.

The manager of a mega rich club can build his own team over a transfer window or two whereas a club like Everton will probably take three or four years to put together a team you want.

 

[applecrumble]

I think we pretty much blew it this season and next season will be even tougher

 

[icburns]

All seasons are a test, and I'm excited to watch Everton take each test.
