When you say it like that it looks really bad. Sell most promising young defender around. Replace with 2 short term fixes, a decent defensive midfielder and a massively overpriced 27 year old winger who neither scores nor creates.

Ashley Williams is not a short term fix. Koeman / Walsh deliberately targeted a defender who could bring in much needed experience and leadership to our set-up, with a number of senior players having left this summer. I predict Williams will be an essential part of our squad the next 2-3 years, after that, who knows.

Bolasie's price is spare change from the Stones deal. The question is, will he add something to what we've already got ? He fills a gap on our left hand side. He's good enough, he has delivered at times, though not as consistently as maybe he should. So let's give the lad a fair chance.

Be interesting to see what Koeman does on Saturday, given we're likely to have more of the ball.

Holgate did well Saturday but I can see him dropping out to the bench if Williams is fit as he brings a bit more presence and we'll need that vs WBA, especially from set-pieces, and I think we'll stick with a back three just to make sure we retain that solidity in open play.

If that's the case, it'll be interesting to see whether it's McCarthy he utilises in the right wing-back position, or Lennon - as with Jags, Williams and Mori at the back I think we'd be pretty sound defensively, and Lennon offers more going forward than McCarthy.

Something like

Stekelenburg

Jagielka
Williams
Mori

Lennon
Gueye
Barry
Baines

Barkley

Del
Rom

With options like Bolasie and Mirallas on the bench if we need to chase the game, and McCarthy if we need to sure it up.

Alternatively, he may well just stick with the same team, or use a different system all together.

Don't think we have spunked all that wedge on bolasie for him to sit on the bench.
 

I like the MOSH comments.

If they are MOSH comments of course.

It's just the Bill Kenwright pushing things bit that kinda....well....y'know....

Everton's billionaire owner Farhad Moshiri has also spoken, and he says that although the signing of Bolasie is another step in the right direction, fans can expect more transfers to be made.

"We are very pleased about today's signing [Bolasie] but remain anxious to further strengthen the squad," he said.

"The chairman Bill Kenwright is relentlessly pushing things forward with my total support for him, for [director of football] Steve Walsh and for Ronald Koeman." SKY

Looks like things are in motion, hombre!

I do think a lot of our deals will be done in the last week though, tbh. We may see one more in this week, but dunno, this being Everton we'll more than likely have to wait to get another fix...
 

Looks like we are buying players to go straight into the first team proven Premier League players.
Hope we can get one truly class signing in would be real icing on the cake but squad is taking shape, power and athleticism along with some of our technical players could be a real potent mix.
