In some ways we have to ignore yesterday's performance as none of our likely signings could have turned that into a draw. Keane will be dropped now, I guess, but Gueye seems to be a fixture. I don't get it. He's dreadful. He's also the only player that I would like to see in Saudi
This is genuinely infuriating. A replacement for what? Gray's not had a pre-season and isn't involved in the squad. He won't even be available to play before McNeil is back I'd bet, Danjuma will certainly be fit before Gray is. This doesn't even account for the fact that Gray is selfish and crap anyway. This will be the second time we've made a balls of selling him this window, get rid ffs!!

Yes, we should be looking abroad instead of favouring PL experience but: we need a player who can dribble, who is a ball carrier, who has an eye for a pass, is fast and a decent finisher. All of those things apply to Gnonto. He also got his difficult debut season in the PL out of the way.
I worry that if we walk away now, we won't be able to get anyone anywhere near as good as him at short notice.
The other key difference between him and the likes of Sigurdsson is that he is just 19, giving us a far greater chance of making our money back. We also won't be sticking him on £120k pw.
I want this transfer done tbh.
The problem with our 11 was glaringly obvious yesterday.
No Spine, no leaders and ultimately very little quality.
Keane and Patterson weak links at the back. Hopefully Patterson improves but Keane hopefully never plays for us again.
Our Midfield is terrible. Absolutely awful. There is no on the ball quality from any of our 3 mids that started yesterday. Doucoure and Onana offer absolutely nothing. I really dont get the desire to keep Onana, if a £60-£70m bid comes in we should be seeing him out the door.
We lose to Wolves next weekend. They are playing much better than us.
Gnonto isn't the answer to our problems. We need a new no6, no10 and a new CB. the spine needs sorting asap.

Sigurdsson would still be a our best player now. Exactly what we are missing.
Makes absolutely no sense how this has been handled. Shambolic really
Conversely, if we can't sign anymore attackers, wouldn't you want to keep him?

Gnonto is the replacement, we moan that we sell players without replacing them, now there’s moan because we aren’t selling a player without replacing him
I'm not sure how we can keep him now
He should have been involved the past 2 games but the manager didn't want to use him. Why would we need a replacement for someone the manager didn't want to use.
The way this has been handled has been completely stupid. We are in no position to have attacking players not involved when they are still an Everton player.
Use him or sell him ASAP.
Wasn't the quickest, but had a good delivery in him and a good strike from distance. The closest we have in the squad today is mcneill...main difference is that mcneill is slightly quicker feet but very one footed player.

You're not wrong but that isn't going to happen. We will face the rest of the season with most of those who played yesterday taking part. So it's up to Dyche to get more out of them. We will buy Che Adams and another attacking player, hopefully Gnonto, bring in a couple of loans and get a few players back from injury. Nothing really inspiring. It won't be as bad as yesterday every week but it is going to be pretty grim
Stupid is playing a player we want to sell.
Did you see Coutinhos leg fall off yesterday? Villa are unlikely to sell him and are now stuck with a crap player on huge wages.

We are missing so much more than that
No plan b...thats why...they know at this stage we are unlikely to get another player in time before the window closes, so they keep pushing adding a fiver every time and probably going crazy on deadline day and either ending paying way above his market value or being told that whilst the bid is acceptable, it is too late in the window so they can't leg him go.
