This guys turning out to be a sick note.....cut him loose if we can
I think it's been our " no money to spend, look for cheap bargains" mentality which has also hindered our scouting and purchases. Leandro and Henen were both cheap, Mattioni free so not much of a risk. We knew about Dier , also we would have seen Dele Alli same time we got Galloway from MK Dons, both too "expensive" for our pockets .... then. Hoping that will change next season re paying a bit more if they're worth I.
Has the fraud been found out by Brentford yet??

It's also possible that they just didn't want to join us.

Why Everton striker Leandro Rodriguez must come through a full pre-season

Everton need Leandro Rodriguez to come through a full pre-season before assessing his first-team chances.
The 23-year-old striker has managed just five minutes for the Blues’ senior side after joining from River Plate Montevideo in September.
Rodriguez scored in his opening two games for the under-21s but his hamstring problems began in late October.
The £500,000 signing managed to get fit just before Christmas and made his first-team debut as a last minute substitute against Dagenham and Redbridge in January’s FA Cup third round tie at Goodison.
And in March, Everton secured Rodriguez a month long loan with Championship side Brentford where he was lined up to play seven games.
But half-way through the Uruguayan’s stint with the Bees, he injured his hamstring again and returned to Everton.
Rodriguez, whose girlfriend flew over to Liverpool to live with him after his father had to return home, was pictured training with the Blues first-team this week but Roberto Martinez insists his focus has to be getting through the summer schedule injury free.
Asked if Rodriguez had encountered similar problems as Oumar Niasse in trying to adapt to English football, Martinez said: “Leandro has been different.
“Leandro has picked up a lot of soft tissue injuries which is a sign when you have to change the physical requirements of a league and the intensity work you need in this league.
“He is still a young man, that his body is still developing and Leandro will need a full pre-season now before we can see where he is.
“His period with Brentford was a real shame because he picked up an injury when those games were very good for him.
“He played against Blackburn for 90 minutes and played just before 45 minutes against Nottingham Forest where he got injured and those seven games programme for him in the Championship was what he needed.
“Leandro is still a very young man, he is a goal-scorer but in order to get in the positions he normally gets he needs to get that physicality and I feel that after next pre-season we will know exactly where Leandro is.”
Everton have looked to guard against January recruit Shani Tarashaj suffering a similar fate to Rodriguez by checking up on their £3m purchase.
The Swiss playmaker was loaned back to Grasshopper Zurich for the rest of the season but was at Finch Farm last month to undergo medical tests ahead of joining the Blues in the summer.

Bit harsh calling him a clown mate don't you think?
Don't this lad and Funes Mori have the same agent? Wouldn't be surprised if we agreed to bring the lad in purely to get the Mori transfer over the line, clearly we've never had any plans whatsoever for this kid.
How has he been doing in the Copa tournament?
Remember when Martinez brought him on in the second minute of stoppage time against a League 2 side that were beaten 10 minutes ago?
