Gordon plays Brentford, gets injured - we lose the transfer cash and the player - Everton that.

Better than rondon for sure, but then you're not getting a fee for him ever...
I'm putting my cards on the table
If we don't sign at least 2 forwards before the end of the window I want Lampard or Thelwell out

I thought the same. How can you "work" on a transfer whilst simultaneously deciding whether or not you actually want the player. Seems like a backup plan. "Let's agree a fee and if we get knocked back on other deals, we'll come back to the table". Doesn't sound very decisive.

Even we aren't this stupid. He will sit out the brentford game, if he hasn't gone already.

"Trabzonspor has signed Jean-Philippe Gbamin on loan."
"Gbamin will be in Istanbul tomorrow at 16:50.
TK 1994"
Is that a flight number? Bold!

Isak off to Newcastle it seems. Many were advocating us signing him a couple of years ago. Newcastle with the likes of him and Botman are targeting the types of players we should have signed when we had money to spend.

Perhaps he's just not their first choice.

What if we're negotiating on 3 or 4 fronts, but only want to bring in 2 players. If we agree deals with clubs on all of them Frank will have to chose which 2 he prefers.
If we only went after 2, and 1 broke down at the 11th hour leaving us bringing in just 1 striker, you'd still be moaning no? Moaning because we had no backup plan.
The DoF will have a list agreed with the manager. they will constantly be reviewing that list. And just being organised with a list doesn't mean signings will happen. So many other things that complicate it such as agreeing a price and payment structure with the selling club, the player wanting to come here and being able to agree terms, external factors such as injuries to other players. Very often players only become available at the end of the window when the selling club know for certain that they are surplus to requirements, or they haven't been able to offload the player in their preferred manner so they become available at a cheaper price or on a loan.
When you're working under financial restraints like Everton are, a complex procedure becomes even more complex. People seem to think that we should just be able to wave a magic wand and it happens. After we got Tarks in, I honestly didn't expect to see anybody else arriving before TDD, so we've actually done better than i thought we would.
Do I like the situation? Not at all. But I accept it as the alternative is to be a miserable moaning broken record, and life is too short for that.
