Where is the statement of intent the club claim they are making?

Shall we wait until the end of the window and then judge it? do you not think that would be the sensible thing to do?

From last years first choice XI, we so far have lost Lukaku who wanted to go and are losing Barkley who also wants to go.

We have added a top young keeper who could be our keeper for years, same with Keane at centre half, a lad who at 21 scored 15 in La Liga last season, the 24 year old captain of Ajax who got to the EL final, are about to add Siguurdsson who for me is a proven premier league player at his peak and we are paying top dollar to get him......so there is a bit of intent there don't you think thus far?

For me there is no intent until we start spending big money. For far too long now we only seem to spent on or around the amount we make for player sales. This means we constantly have to resign old past it players because we have no cash to replace. This stagnates the team
 
What annoys me is that we knew lukaku was going but we don't see to have had a plan to replace him. We have this 60m fund in china to buy players with if we don't have enough cash (which we should have with this tv deal but ok) yet we sold him before replacing him.

Now teams will hold us to ransom but also we go into the season without a top striker

We will sign one mate don't worry ;)
 
None of us know anything

What I do know is if the club were desperate for him and want him that much they'd have bought him by now no matter what. As usual with Everton we dither and take far too long over deals
And that why I mention Stones.

It's precisely because no-one knows anything, why we shouldn't be so quick to condemn Everton in this.

City and Chelsea were desparate for John Stones - did they get him at first time of asking? Nope. Not even second.

Took 3 windows for Stones to go. This is no different - we want a player, his club don't want to sell.

Sometimes it's not gonna be so easy regardless of how hard we try.

If you are referring to Jags, I am guessing we gave him another year for staying due to the injury to Mori.

In 12 months we have brought in
Pickford
Keane
Martina
Gana
Schneiderlin
Bolasie
Klaassen
Lookman
Sandro
Rooney
Williams
Onyekuru

Plus various young players for the U23's from other clubs.

That hardly looks like stagnation to me.

This 100%.

Anyone who thinks £50m transfers are straight forward especially when it's a club's best player would only be happy if they were City fans.

Even Chelsea have had a nightmare with transfers this window. The champions.. lol
