I'm not bothered if what Esk says is right or not, because I know that he's not telling us stuff for an ego trip or to deliberately mislead people. He posted stacks of genuinely insightful stuff about takeovers and finances before he started passing this stuff on.

Y'all need a bit of fresh air once you start playing the man like this.

This really.

I have no doubt that the Esk's information is genuine. Transfers are complicated and situations can change.
 

Name one reliable journo who has confirmed that Mata is coming to Everton. He isn't.

Stop doing this to yourself. I am sure Esk is a lovely bloke but he is going to make himself look silly if he keeps going you all false hope.

Mata isn't coming. Quote me. Have a £50 bet with me.

I didn't say that retrospectively they weren't good. I said they weren't exciting. With the exception of Lukaku signing permanently (after a full season of RS "yeah but when you send him back what are you gonna do??") there haven't been many which have captured the imagination to the point of someone thinking "You know what, I'm going to go down to the ticket office and get one"

Deulofeu signed early in the window last summer.
As you said, the Lukaku transfer created a buzz but we also signed Barry and Eto'o that summer.
The buzz around Mirallas when he signed was huge on here and it was earlyish as well.

I know where you're coming from with what you're saying... I just think we all need to relax a bit. This will be a fantastic transfer window, so let's not torture ourselves.

It's just bewildering how you allow yourselves to be led along so easily.

How come not one journo, Sky, BBC etc are reporting that we are in talks with Mata?

It's a load of hogwash. And it's getting farcical now.

Esk was 10/10 sure that we would land a signing today. What if that doesn't happen? Do we just accept that "Oh some things change, never mind Esk".

Then what happens if Esk promises another signing on Monday which doesn't happen? When are we allowed to start questioning his claims without getting abuse for it?

This is a purely hypothetical rant though, why are you even saying all this? Sounds like you want him to be wrong so that you can give him abuse and say I told you so.

He's not got anything wrong yet, and if we sign a player today he'll of got everything spot on, and hopefully you'll simmer right down.

Give it a rest. It's called PR and marketing. If you are looking for statements. Bill Kenwright has said.

“Farhad absolutely has a vision for this football club,” he said.
“It involves the Champions League and a new stadium."

I'm sure there are others, probably those that are more specific however it's a stupid argument to make and frankly it didn't even deserve a response this long. Football clubs move forward because of the players they sign. It's no more complicated than that.

I'm fully au fait with PR & Marketing mush, but thanks for the pointer.

Let's strip it back eh...you're suggesting somehow that the club are accountable for making false promises RE marquee signings thus generating an increase in season ticket sales, yes?

Sound.

Again, if you're purchasing a 'thing' on the basis that something 'might' happen...then, well, the only person accountable for that is you.

Football clubs move forward because of the BIIIIGGGGGGGG players they sign? Yep.

Leicester.
