The issue I have with this "building" metaphor is I am not convinced if we don't acknowledge what has gone wrong we are building on something that doesn't work. Einstein famously said madness is doing the same thing again and expecting different results.

I think we need a major overhaul of how we do transfer and that does involve acknowledging what has gone wrong. I am a bit sick of plans in all honesty, we had plans under Moyes, plans under Martinez and in neither case did we ever get any closer to the end goal. It just felt like a way for people not to be accountable. If we want to be somewhere we need to do it, but talk about it being done in 2/3 years.

What I think needs to be improved;
1) Identification- We need to ensure the lads we are identifying are realistic and from leagues we can buy from.
2) Clarity- Spotting the weaknesses in the squad and finding relevant players to fill that need.
3) Timing- Not leaving everything to the last day/(s) of the window. Players need to be brought in for the start of the season, no excuses.
4) Competence- Closing deals is critical. Why was Walsh waiting several deals to complete the Perez deal? We have ended up with Valencia as a result. If Perez scores more than Valencia this season what come back will there be for Walsh and not getting the deal completed?

More importantly Kenwright and Elstone have overseen year after year of failure of transfer windows. They both need to go. I believe they were overseeing transfer towards the end when deals started going array. If not then somebody else needs to accept responsibility for the farce of a window. We have been left majorly light and we still don't have a premier league standard lad who can play up front on his own instead of Rom. For the nth consecutive season we still don't have a left footed winger or a creative midfielder.

Come January this needs sorting. We can all see the difficulties and areas that need improvements. We have all given them all summer without moaning and sufficient time for every excuse imaginable to be trotted out. Come January 1st we need to have lads in and signed and that means working on deals beforehand.

I think we need to remember the time scale in which Koeman and in particular Walsh had to work in.
The players were not back into training until the first week in July and before he could identify targets he had to assess the squad.
I think maybe a little patience is called for.

No problem mate - it's because the payments are legally assigned to the lender R&M. So we have authorised the PL to pay the lender who then pays us. It is the lender's way of guaranteeing payment.

Nice one mate

It's a nonsense. When has the paying off and signing up of outgoing/incoming managerial teams ever been included in transfer window spending?

The barrel is being thoroughly scraped when this is all that's left to hang onto by way of accounting for the calamitous summer.

Ah, I getsya now - but the money's gotta come from somewhere...@The Esk??

Bedwetters, you should have done this already.

You want me to beleive something written by a red rag of a paper who's scared to say boo about Everton fc? Yearh Yearh OK.... It's real then coz the echo says. Erm..... Not

If your using paying off managers contracts etc, then add tv money etc in and we are definitely in profit.

So our operating costs are zero? All this years wages have been paid and the £100m should've been directed to transfer fees alone? Last I heard it cost £92m to run Everton as is, never mind improved contracts and new players having contracts. But hey lets do it the FIFA way and just press X quicker?

 

[davek]

I guess cos the stadium will need lines of credit to build it?

Bit like building a decent extension on your house. You dont want to use up all your savings, so arrange a drawdown on your mortage to cover the big bits.

I highly doubt some piss ant loan shark co. in the Isle of Man are the appropriate vehicle for a venture of this magnitude.

No mate, I think we need to search for an answer elsewhere.

 

[davek]

Funding a new stadium maybe ? Did you think he was going to sink his personal wealth into funding this enterprise ?

No mate, not if his first transfer window is anything to go by. At this stage he looks like he'll be taking more money out than putting in.

When it cost so much because that Divi Kenwright gave Martinez a brand new contract based on his first year, which was a shame as based on year 2 he'd of been struggling and year three would have seen him see our his original contact, therefore the ghost of Martinez continues, he's a £10m signing down the drain.

Ffs now we're meant to believe the Echo?

I think you're desperate for the current Everton regime to fail. You've done nothing but snipe since you've been back, which is fine BTW, that's your prerogative, but based on the start you're in for a miserable season.

It still doesn't really make sense though does it Moomin? We put a bid in for Sissoko but then we withdrew it because we're a family club?

Don't worry though, I'm going back and changing my vote in the "Has your head fallen off?" thread because I genuinely don't get this at all.

Lol.

You say I cant let it go.

Stop trying to hide this Moshiri feller behind Martinez and Kenwright.

we need @bizzaro on here to explain everything.

Ouch.

 

[Efcjake]

But the ECHO understands the statement WAS given to the high-profile anchorman by Moshiri.

That's all that article has in way of 'confirmation'

Couple that with a complete lack of denial from the club and I'd say it is fairly definitive.
