The cryarsing that occurs on this forum is entertaining and frustrating in equal measure.

A) We have James, who disrespected the club and holds us in no regard and is getting flogged. But it's like the end days for our ambitions. This is despite the fact that one of our most balanced and committed performances we have played in a very long time had no involvement from him whatsoever.

B) The inability to concede by a fair few that the shrewd deals we've worked through this summer were very influential at the weekend. Gray's mobility, pace and flair helped us move through the lines very quickly. Townsend already has an assist and displayed his ability to cross potently with both feet. It's almost like he had the best crossing accuracy in the league last season and that would translate well with better forwards...Oh yeah, he did and there are.

C) The bedwetting over the Hoppe, Buta and Anguissa links. Three players 25 and under with good word of mouth, relatively unknown and likely hungry for success and progression who would see Everton as an upward step in their careers. Weren't we all crying about signing older players for too much money? Just another thing on Anguissa , he's got great dribbling, tackling and intercept stats. Do we not remember Gueye?

I'm just saying folks, it might not be all bad. I'm sure this post will now be inundated with people going out their way to prove how these players are actually terrible and we're managed by a fat kopite dinosaur etc.

A) Not sure he's disrespected the club when it seems that he's been told he can leave. It was Ancelotti's choice to treat James the way he did. James is class and can (and did) make a difference to us when we play better teams or teams that park the bus. Endless crossing won't do that. Our amazing performance you speak of was: (1) Rubbish in the first half, (2) against one of the worst sides in the division.

B) Gray and Townsend might well be good squad additions. Not sure many are disputing that. But if we go through a whole season with them as basically first choice, it is likely we will struggle. So the concern is more that these two might be the best we get.

C) I agree with you. Anguissa is very good and the others look like low risk gambles that may or may not work out. But we still need more quality.

So it's not really the amazing positive you seem to paint things as either.
 
Hoppe for 2m is a no brainer assuming the wages are fair. That is a good price for potential, and if he doesn't work MLS is always there and would pay that.

Also we talk about the marketing impact often, but this might truly be the case where the player pays for himself. There is significant interest in him here in the states and commercially the club would benefit.

Disagree. They've become the new us. They have a lot of talent at the club, but have no idea how to use them properly, and I can see many of their stuggling players moving on and performing much better in a more stable and positive situation.

Taking a low risk punt on a disgruntled player or two from Arsenal would be a shrewd business move.

The last Arsenal player that we signed that was any good was Limpar I think.

They are generally awful for us

Smith Rowe maybe? I’ve not seen anything of him but he’s rated by some. Arsenal’s recruitment has been poor for years now. Besides the likes of Ozil and Sanchez they were always a team that brought young players through and developed players bought for low fees. But the problem is they’ve stopped doing that now too, and I’m not convinced any of their players that fit that specific profile will go on to be anything special.

Besides Saka who has risen up through their system over the last few years?
 
Must be happening lads: @transfers_everton on Instagram are saying so!

Never has something been more of a certainty now.
