In Roberto's system I don't think people understand how vitally important a seasoned ACM is, it is unfair to expect this from a 20 year old kid, especially one that has had his confidence knocked out of him by a yard dog manager like Hodkins, there needs to be someone coming and picking the ball up off the protecting two and working it, Ross done this last year and was up for it and confident, a lot of things have happened since then and I think his confidence has been knocked but Roberto shoudn't of let this happen, he should of got another experienced ACM in to work with Ross and share the burden, he is trying to rectify this now but it is a little to late and problems have arisen, last year when we were in a position to challenge for CL he let the Jan transfer window slip by without making the acquisitions that were needed to challenge for it, this summer transfer window he never made the signing's needed to cope with the season ahead, so I don't think he's got what is needed to do the right things for Everton

Or he hasn't been given the money. He obviously thought getting a 21 potentially world class striker was more important however right now I think I would have preferred Bony and Tadic. Although its early days and while things don't look great now we can only really judge that decision in a couple of years.

We need a centre back comfortable on the ball???

I see people keep mentioning this, but we don't. We need one who can defend. Look at Chelsea, Terry and Cahill are hardly Baresi and Maldini on the ball.

Mourinho hardly plays Tika Taka and therefore teams don't setup the same way. If teams press them high they would hoof it to Costa and use the speed of Willian and Hazard.

Plus Terry and Cahill are far better passers than Jags and Distin. Far far better.

We're missing a trick if we don't upgrade Howard. A top class goalkeeper can be very cheap for the difference they make. Spurs got Lloris for £8m for example. De Gea cost Man U £18m which is LOADS for a keeper but he's probably singlehandedly got them at least an extra 10 points this season along. Was chatting to a Spurs fan today and he said it's probably not far off the same with them and Lloris. We should be able to get a Lloris-level keeper at least.

Add to that the fact that Howard is a bona-fide footballing celebrity in America and we could sell him to the MLS at a bit of a premium, failing to take advantage of this quirk of the market would be mind-boggling.

Loris is one of the best keepers in the world mate. How Spurs got him I do not know, but we won't be getting anyone of his standard, let along "at least".

@everton: RM: Transfer windows are always an option to find someone who can benefit us as a group. But I wouldn't say this is a window we have to use

Sounds fair enough. He's saying if someone becomes available who he wants he'll pursue. If he said 'we have to use this window' what would that sound like? It'd sound like he was in a state of panic with the squad he has to choose from right now.

Playing down expectations. He knows its all about who becomes available.

If there's a player he would snap their hands off for in the summer available that he wants now I think he'll push the button.

If there is just dross available or ridiculous prices he'll do what he can in the areas he can.

Priorities first.

Think we wil use loan system too

Loan for a winger or proper playmaker; bung £7M on the table at Celtic and take Van Dijk off them.

Job done.
 
It's not even about playing down expectations..It's just the right thing to say atm.

You can be sure that he knows where we lack stuff and what would make us better.

Work is on progress..

We need a keeper and a CB, with a winger on loan.

The thought of Robles in goal until mid Feb fills me with serious dread, as he's bleeding awful
