transfer window- positive or negative for Everton?

[RFUS]

I'd say you're jumping the gun but that would imply the next two days aren't going to be bleak and depressing.

 

[jaycee]

Same as all summer.

No Ins without Outs.

I really hope im wrong.

Any shake it all abouts?

 

[Lids1978]

Could this not have waited until its closed really and truly...

 

[Dozbik]

Can't we just fast forward these two days, I'm going to slit my veins soon.

The window has fizzled out for me, so dissapointing one really, been waiting for these three players for about three weeks and two are unknown South Americans who probably won't see any game time anytime soon. Hoping he can pull something out the bag but in less than two days and one being a bank holiday I don't expect much.

Bobby has said each window- we will come out of the window stronger than we went in. So let's look at it.......

No one good sold, especially Stones - positive
Alcaraz gone--- positive
Cleverley --- 10 million premiership player for free---positive
Gerry -- See Cleveleys comment and add 4 million cost. Bargain
Funes Mori --- Calculated gamble. If works, great. If not, going to speed up career progression of Galloway and Browning. Not a positive for this season though as he is only replacement for Distin and Alcaraz. .
Holgate - looked really good against our abortions under 21 team. Positive for medium term. Looks a really good prospect.
henen - hopefully same as Holgate
rodriguez - hopefully same as Henen
distin --- negative, forget his last 12 months, he was another super defensive purchase from Moyes
Garbutt - delighted we kept him. Positive for medium term.
Overall, it is too early to call but the situation is nowhere near as bad as you would imagine from our transfer thread.
If we get a 10 in, even on loan, I think the squad looks better. Even Lennon will keep some of the dross out with injuries.

I think the lack of a marquee signing is having a very heavy weighting on negativity

If we get one more. Positive.

I think we have one or two surprises in store

 

[Lukaku'sLeftTesticle]

Well we have spent 5m quid .. Our net spend for the last 5 years is +£10m. Pretty depressing

That said, Geri and Cleverely are positive additions for great price but we need more

I think what is hurting the most is seeing top quality players go to lesser teams than ours whom we would all absoloutely love to come here and improve us massively to the next step.

Payet West Ham
Ayew Swansea
Shakira Stoak

 

[Rook]

Didn't lose any significant and so far it appears that we have Stones until Mori is ready. We didn't sign anyone over the hill. Positive so far.

 

[4737carlin]

Hard to say, we havent blown any cash on junk, not many clubs can say they havent wasted money this summer, but we do need more. I think we have been so caught into with Stones we have lost sight that we havent bought much.

To waste money you first have to spend money

 

[johnnydawg68]

Positive but could be great if we sign the "door unlocker" we crave.

 

[ilikecheese]

Exactly.

 

[Rook]

should have signed her

 

[Blue Cheese]

tick tock

 

[Chang Elephant]

This window could be the opportunity to tackle the other operating costs we've been waiting for.
