Anyone jealous of the RS needs a smack in the arm. They're just going all Dortmund again, full of attacking players. They don't have a single proper DM in their squad now Lucas has left and their defence sucks. They have as much to envy as they have of us.
We've signed 9 first team players. If none of them are exciting to you then I'm not sure anyone we sign would.
Maybe a mix of Jimenez/GibsonExpectations: Giroud/Gibson

I like your posting usually mate but I'm afraid you're way off here. They've also just signed one of the best midfielders in the world for fractionally more than we bought the Icelandic Johnny Wilkinson. They're pulling away from us at light speed after a couple of seasons where it looked like we could maybe catch up again.
The Ox???
You're best getting yourself a packet of happy pills for tomorrow night mate you're gonna need themIt just would have been nice to have one summer where we go out and sign a boss player and have some excitement for the season. We have a new owner and we were all under the impression that we suddenly had money to invest. The general feeling was last year we got it wrong and would change that this year.
And yes , the business we done at the start of the summer was fantastic. We got that buzz and next thing 2 months pass, haggle over a couple of million for weeks on a player and even then if the previous signings were paid for by lukaku, siggurdson at 45 will be greatly reduced once Ross goes. And it leads us to now, no news, no mention of a signing despite claiming we are after 2 players at a time when everyone knows everything going on. I'm not referring to Ronaldo or Messi turning up at finch farm but just one player who makes us get a little bit excited to see in 2 weeks. All the players we have signed are great but long term signings, none really are exciting to see right now.
At least them lot can dream of seeing keita and dream of possibly signing Lamar or someone of that ilk even if it doesn't come off. We have jarg links to a player not good enough for benfica or a championship striker no-one had heard of really until a week ago.
That's why this is frustrating personally, a small part of me hopes we get a player who we can look forward to seeing in a couple of weeks, but deep down I know we will be disappointed or underwhelmed and come Friday morning it's back to that old Everton mentality , we support who we have and hope next year is different. Just once it would be nice to break that mould and do something that isn't boring and Everton like.
At this point would take that. I rate Gibson.Maybe a mix of Jimenez/Gibson
Keita.
I admit I didn't actually count but saw that number.Who are the 9??
