Oh look, he's making it up as he goes along.

How very dare.

Im adapting to the change in direction.

We still have 11 transfers to look "forward" to, just sadly we have to start from scratch with regards the bulk of our Ins.

Williams expected to be wrapped up tomorrow and thats all she wrote for this week.

A very, very busy week expected next week.

Ronald Koeman insists he remains hopeful of brining new players to Everton despite early struggles in the transfer market.

Koeman, who took over at Goodison Park earlier this summer, has added just goalkeeper Maarten Stekelenburg and midfielder Idrissa Gueye to his squad so far.

The lack of a big name summer signing, combined with star duo John Stones and Romelu Lukaku being linked with mega-money moves to Manchester City and Chelsea respectively, has left Toffees fans frustrated but Dutch boss Koeman says that needn't be the case.

EVERTON'S SUMMER SIGNINGS SO FAR
Maarten Stekelenburg (Fulham, undisclosed)

Bassala Sambou (Coventry, compensation)

Chris Renshaw (Oldham, undisclosed)

Idrissa Gueye (Aston Villa, £7.1m)

Asked if he was close to adding to his squad, Koeman told BT Sport: 'We are working hard to bring in other players but it's not respectful to talk about other players who aren't playing for Everton.

'As soon as possible we hope to bring some new players in.'

Koeman's preparations for his first season in charge of the Toffees saw his Everton team draw 0-0 with Manchester United in Wayne Rooney's testimonial clash.

But despite Stones and Lukaku both starting the game as part of a strong Everton side at Old Trafford, Koeman wasn't happy with what he saw.

Everton's star men Romelu Lukaku and John Stones (right) have both been linked with moves


Centre-half Stones remains a man interesting City but Koeman is understood to be frustrated at Chelsea's attempts to unsettle Lukaku and seal a £65million move for their former player.

On a man who he has signed - £7.1m French midfielder - Gueye, Koeman added: 'Idrissa is the player we need. He's the midfielder we need and is different to the types of holding midfielders we have. He had a lot of interceptions in the Premier League with Aston Villa.'

Expanding on the draw with United, the Dutchman maintained his team must improve their passing game with the start of the competitive action now less than two weeks away.

'I expect better quality on the ball. We had good organisation in the team but our ball possession was not of the level we expect,' he said.

'We need to be a bit more confident to play against Man United, maybe we were a little bit impressed by the stadium, but we need to be better with the ball to create more chances.'

Now that we are talking about deals that would never happen, how much do you think it would take to get Isco. Apparently he is the odd man out at Real.

Manchester United 0-0 Everton verdict: Koeman expectations not being met as Blues boss discovers new problems
Koeman was left angered by aspects of his side's performance and underwhelmed or left disbelieving by others

Instead of seeing it all start to come together Ronald Koeman may well be discovering new problems with his Everton team.

And the new Premier League season starts in 10 days.

The Blues may have secured a draw and a welcome clean sheet against a side that will be challenging for the title next season but it's debatable if Koeman had much else to be satisfied with.

Afterwards he was again upbeat about the efforts of his players but privately he'd had every right be concerned by what he saw from the touchline at Old Trafford tonight.

Not in their shape or ability to stifle an expensively assembled United attack – they did that well – but when in possession and in front of goal.

Well, on the few occasions they got near it.

Everton were better in the second-half, no doubt having been on the end of a rollocking at the break, but the improvements were slight and cannot have been enough to appease the manager.

Koeman looked pensive and deep in thought throughout the second period of Wayne Rooney's testimonial but he had at times raged during the first, angered by aspects of his side's performance and underwhelmed or left disbelieving by others.

He was much more calm and pragmatic when assessing things at the final whistle.

The Everton manager will be highly demanding of his players as he strives for perfection but nevertheless, with the arrival of Spurs on the horizon the need for reinforcements has never felt more urgent than it does after this display.

The Blues, you could argue, did enough to deserve a draw but nothing other than that.

And even when taking a step back from it all, composing yourself and remembering that we are still in pre-season, there will be few Evertonians enthused by what was served up.

During the action, Koeman certainly didn't look like he was.

Sure, the Blues looked fairly comfortable, compact and competent in the 3-5-2 formation that the manager favours and they restricted an attack made up of Rooney, Anthony Martial and Zlatan Ibrahimovic to only a couple of clear chances.

That should not be overlooked but Koeman failed to hide his disgust when first Romelu Lukaku, and then Gerard Deulofeu, backed out of 50-50 challenges or when Ross Barkley squandered possession as counter-attack broke down before it got going.

On that occasion, the manager stormed back to his seat in the dugout.

Koeman was left angered by aspects of his side's performance and underwhelmed or left disbelieving by others

He shook his head as simple passes were misplaced, under-hit or misdirected and the rare chances that came Everton's way were not dispatched as they should have been.

Hovering above Koeman in Old Trafford's South Stand were the watching Jon Woods, Sasha Ryazantsev and Robert Elstone.

And as they feed back to majority shareholder Farhad Moshiri and chairman Bill Kenwright, the message will be clear: this Blues squad is in need of quality additions as soon as possible.

Koeman didn't include new recruit Idrissa Gueye in the squad for the game and they are in the hunt for Swansea City captain Ashley Williams but between now and the close of the window Everton's playing staff needs an injection of quality to match that of its manager.

Espanyol are the visitors to Goodison on Saturday afternoon in the final warm-up of the summer and an expectant home crowd will hope to be encouraged as they head into the new season.

Koeman's arrival has raised standards but so far with only the squad he inherited to work with, those expectations have yet to be met.
 
It's been 85 days and we're all still waiting. Waiting for someone to come. But what if they don't? We have to stop waiting. We need to start figuring things out.

The Carvalho deal died this morning just going for a medical and Moshiri tried to save it, and now you're about to crucify him? We can't do this. Every man for himself is not going to work. It's time to start organizing.

We need to figure out how we're going to survive here. Now, I found Gonalons. Fresh Gonalons in France. I'll take a group in at first light. If you don't want to go, then find another way to contribute. Last week most of us were strangers. But we're all here now. And God knows how long we're going to be here. But if we can't live together, we're going to die alone.

I never trust a journalist that can't spell 'Bringing'... Twice...!
 
I can confirm that we 100% wont be signing a single 1 of our main targets.

Carvalho, Witsel, Mata, Koubilay, all very much OFF.

Stature issues sadly.

We have basically "wasted" the last 2 months chasing a pipe dream.

Not to worry, we have plan Bs.

Was Mata even on? That just seemed to come out soon as it was confirmed that Jose was going there and everyone took it for granted that it would mean he is going, and we are just down the road.
