If Deulofeu had signed for £23m today you'd all be saying 10 you horrendous Jim Whites.

I think it's more that Martinez said it would happen and to trust him rather than just wanting business on the last day.

4/10

didn't add in the position we really needed, just covered the cracks.

 

[Dymak]

Absolutely.

Even if he ends up signing for them in less than 12 months time?

I'm sure he was confident Yarmolenko would be a good possibility. It didn't happen for whatever reason.

Id rather we didn't go after someone he didn't really want to be honest.

Well when you put it like that...hahaha.

It's a great point.

Play maker, play maker, play maker.....Aaron Lennon.

Don't think Everton did enough. Holding onto Stones for me was only good if and its a big IF key positions were filled. They weren't and it's clear why, because we held onto stones.

Going to be a long season and don't be shocked to have a disgruntled front man in Rom asking to leave next summer.

Everton should have taken Moses on loan because at the end of the season he would be leading the exodus.

 

[ilikecheese]

Yep...because we sell him on our terms, not theirs.

Astonished we didn't get a much needed play maker.

Worried about centre half cover and £10 million for a totally unproved back up wowee

 

[Dario Terracotta]

Went for a 3, we needed a big signing or two to state our intent as well as keeping Stones.

Compare our money spent to the rest of the league.

Not saying spend for the sake of it but we'll fall behind by standing still.

We must have the money available and if not then why not?

Cleverly,Deulofeu and Lennon for around £8.5 million represents excellent business,a number of boards around the country must be scratching their heads on that one,ok the jury will be out on the Argie lad at £9.5 million,I honestly think his top target was Yarmalenko and he wasn't going to settle for an inferior signing for the sake of it.

Good window for us...but not great.
Glad we didnt sell Stones now, Cant imagine us having an extra £38,000,000 would of grabbed us our playmaker...we seemingly only wanted The Y and that money wouldnt of helped broker the deal.

Too bloody right they would! I like you IjjySmith. You're consistently a good performer. Logic over emotion, time and time again. Give us a kiss

 

[Hantakun]

Really too early to say. I feel much depends on how the failure to sign a creative attacking player will affect the existing squad and their belief in Martinez' project. If Lukaku is feeling less impressed tonight knowing he'll have yet another season at Everton with insufficient service, I can hardly blame him. We do still have loads of quality in the squad, some astute business has been conducted this transfer window and no unwanted outgoings. With a playmaker coming in it had been a 9/10 easily. Now ... 5/10? We're moving to stand still.

 

[Elong]

5/10

This.

Negatives outweigh the positives. Number 10 role is vital, and we've missed out. Could be a long season ahead.

Yeah a 3 is low I just feel we always miss out on the chance to kick on.

I still feel the side is unbalanced and the first team is a couple injuries away from looking very average.
