So did we have all our eggs in the 'Danjuma basket' with nobody else lined up? It would fit the pattern I suppose, having no back up plans.

We probably will be adrift once we lose to Arsenal and Liverpool though. With less players than what we started with and let’s be honest, what will be the wrong manager appointment (as usual). The things that all need to happen to make anything click just aren’t likely considering how we’re run and our finances.

Probably is stronger but everyone around us has strengthened massively and better than us
Don't have Norwich, Watford and Burnley being dreadful this year to fall back on, Forest, Bournemouth and Fulham all actually have competent players this time compared to last seasons 3

Welcome to Barcelonaton FC
We're shagged really. Any target will be like "who's gonna be the manager?"

Yes you know the answer we are the slowest moving club in the EPL. That deal took weeks to get near to completion and Spurs, the player and his agent absolutely kneecapped us.

Manager on deadline day again is it lads.....
Oh you mean we had more players? But the quality was substandard.
And Kev, you’re not a high flying corporate manager, so please stop embarrassing yourself.
Probably because he’s not a very good player unfortunately. The lack of actual quality is blatantly obvious
Sadly the recruitment continues to be our downfall

I would still like to see him given the chance of playing off a front man but unfortunately it would probably end on certain relegation
I don’t think we have much option now, we’ve tried everything else and these dossers can’t score

Still don't get why people are getting annoyed at no signings when we have no manager. Isn't one of our problems that the squad is made up of players signed by so many different people?

I managed more people than you’ve shared daft posts, however, even if I’d never managed a single person it’d still be blindingly obvious that a good manager get players to play better. Obvious to anyone with a brain that is……
Well you've got that completely the wrong way around.
We spent £1.7m in the same summer. It was August 2021 that we went for Diaz and were trying to work a deal with Porto that was cash + James. It was all reliably reported at the time. Everton arranged a medical for him as he was with the Colombia national team.
During that same week Everton also bid £8m for Patterson and got rejected (who we then paid £12m for four months later). We also had a deal lined up for Livramento of a few mil, that Benitez vetoed. We also could have pushed for Dumfries but Benitez didn't want him. It would have taken a good chunk of our budget up, though.
Four months after the Diaz thing - in that time we'd got rid of James' wages, too - Everton spent a combined £30m on two FBs, without any guarantee of recouping the fee. It was only two weeks later that Digne was sold, and we were still £8m in the red on those deals. So that money came from somewhere.
Also, as we know, a lot is about what clubs are willing to accept downpayments. Wolves refused our drip feed for Morgan Gibbs-White even though we thought we could get it done. Burnley wanted most of Cornet's buy-out clause up front, but were willing to accept a few mil (supposedly around £4m) up front for McNeil. Lille accepted less than £10m up front for Onana.
