Everton Summer Transfer Thread - 2022

[Marius57]

Moshiri must be regretting saying 'judge us after the transfer window' . He really is clueless, it's the sort of cocky arrogance you have when you have unlimited spending power not when you're skint and begging for deals.

Yeah but a load of the gullible happy clappers bought it which gave him time. That's all he wanted.

We are in massive trouble next season. I hope the protest today makes an impression, we have been absolutely massacred on and off the pitch by our supposed 'custodians'.

Enough is enough.

Whatever money is available, surely sooner or later they will have to bite the bullet and get players in, even if that means compromise on the quantity. I'm all for prudence and caution, but if the result is this level of inaction, then it achieves nothing of value in itself for a side that desperately needs reinforcements.

It points to a real issue in scouting also. I get that there are deals to be done on deadline day that may be more advantageous to us, and for us it has to be part of the plan, but leaving everything to that degree of chance isn't any kind of strategy. My feeling is though that this is what it's boiling down to. There is no sense that any deals are advanced or imminent and I think they feel they will be able to get more players in then on better terms. It's an enormous risk that could have disastrous consequences if it backfired. Who would be confident in this lot under that scenario?

This I'd rather we bought two quality players than wait and wait for the last minute scramble most of anyone with quality will be gone. Yes we could get a few loans but purchases are needed in the next two weeks for me. Plus anyone we do bring in won't have a preseason with us anyway it's a shambles.

I really don't get the Moshiri hate. I mean, yes, he is absolutely clueless on the footballing part but it's the board that has absolutely failed the club. The recruitment, the wages, their own salary, it's just shambolic.

We're in this mess now because of the failures of the board on just about every front.

Who appointed the board?

So you’ve just proven my point we’ve spent £600m (because we have, that’s what has left our account to play for other players) on crap.

And as I said previously, no other team would be that poor in the league, after spending that much money, that they solely reliant on 3 players.

So after a lot of going around in circles you’ve agreed. Thanks

In case it wasn’t clear it’s probably a good idea just to assume that I don’t agree with anything you say, including this post.

If we are so incredibly skint then why are not moving on Deli Alli to limit the costs there. Its just not going to work for him here. We cannot afford a luxury player when our squad is so inept.

I mean, moshiri has stated himself that he has bought players like tosun and iwobi. That's 60m alone that someone who is clueless about football has wasted. He interferes directly in the footballing side.

But more importantly, he is the the one who appointed the board and keeps them in place.

That or pushing Juve to make a decision on Kean or lowering valuation on Gomes

I don't dispute that, but, again, he's clueless. He thought Koeman was a world class manager. He chased Silva for over a year. But he's put up an obscene amount of money to the club. He absolutely needs someone with football acumen telling him how to do things but he's listening to the CLAPCLAPCLAPers.

It's offtopic, but the point I was making is he would be a dream owner if he just listened to people who knew what they were doing.

He hasn't replaced the board in six years, when we have been going backwards on and off the pitch. His appointed DOF have made a mess of recruitment and he has also meddled in football affairs constantly when he doesn't understand football. Benitez was his choice. He's been a catastrophic owner.

I love the way you think both of these things are easy to do.

 

[Roger Milla]

Instead of pissing about offering clubs a half eatin curly wurly as up front payments, get Grillitsch in and a few loans until we sort ourselves out.

Oh I’m well aware we’ve made it impossible for ourselves but that’s what a competent club would be doing

He would be, but he doesn't and that's the problem. And after 6 years and not doing so, that isn't likely to change.
