Imagine this place back in 04.
Out Rooney for 27 mill, Radzinski 2 mill.
30 mill burning a hole in our pockets and we spent:
1.5 mill on a lad from Milwall in his mid 20s and Marcus Bent 26 from Ipswich for 500k. Absolutely zero pedigree between them.
Good times.
We've been going since 2007 and we've had probably 10 worse summers than that since.
Probably true
But there’s also been times over the last few seasons where if you’d said to me Everton could put out:
Pickford
OBrien Tarkwoski Branthwaite Mykolenko
Garner Gueye Alcaraz
McNeil Barry Ndiaye
and be managed by David Moyes
Then I’d have empire bank account so I’m not quite ready to join the frenzy yet.
One injury to Branthwaite or Ndiaye though and it’s fume time.
I think the squad we have now would be in a relegation fight myself.
Just as well we're able to spend, otherwise we'd be toast.
I think the issue is that we all know there should have been more ins in an ideal world, it is the posters that state this fact EVERY post. There are a fair few that wallow so deep in it that they can barely talk about anything else. It is soul destroying tbh. When we do sign players they will disappear just like they do when they state we are getting relegated for 11 months a year, every year and we don't.
I get it mate, but equally there's a few who are making out like there's no concern at all.
I think we need to stop making excuses as a fan base.
Sure, we don't need to panic just yet, but we should all understand concern.
