I’m holding out all hopes this is the club using they’re mouth pieces to force a preferred choice to sign. Would really struggle to get behind Nuno.

He will be die hard defender of Nuno now, alongside Martinez.
I couldn't have put it any better

THis is complete fiction. You have absolutely no idea what went on.

Dont know if i agree with that mate and i wouldn't be as pessimistic. No 1. in general and i dont mean you here, people dont understand football. Its not about playing attacking or defensive football, its a game of balance. The best team that attacks and defends wins trophies.
I think people today are too influenced by the media saying such a team play a "lovely style of football" or "play out from the back". Frankly its rubbish and so many clubs and managers just copy each other, there is very little originality. If Pep is in vogue clubs appoint managers like him and the same idea - because that is the way. If Klopp is in vogue then we all need to press. If Conte is vogue we all need to play wing backs. Frankly speaking i thought Carlo made some woeful decisions, trying to play out from the back and play a possession based game at times, it was simply insane and risky.
There are many ways to attack and play attacking football. Nuno has a way, i watched Wolves a fair bit and i really enjoyed watching them, were they a defensive team no way, they took some huge risks. They did it a different way, i suggest in my post transition is more on the flanks, counter and support play - that to me is attacking football, i dont think people genreally understand attacking football and has just become a tag line. Id liken how Nuno played to the Moyes era, were arguably two of our most attacking, creative and impactful players were Baines and Pienarr - thats an example of counter attacking football flooding through the flanks thats what Wolves did. Id also argue its what Mordor do to, all their transition comes from the flanks in their full backs and wide players, very rarely do they play out from the back and through their midfield, Leicester another example, you couldnt really say any of those dont play attacking football. Im not sure people know what they mean when they talk about attacking football. The way Nuno plays is as valid in terms of attacking football as anything else. Its about getting balance, the game has always been thus. If Everton play any other way but balanced and managing risk without dropping a billion like City they are getting tonked see Martinez and Silva. We've been that solider.
As for being handed signings i dont know the truth of it really, maybe he was, maybe he wasnt, Mendes is also his empoyee - so its open to speculation. Regardless from what i see Brands and Moshiri are in bed with Jacobson, Raoliola and now Mendes. Options and choices and networks. if we are paying some lad 5 mill a year to recruit then Nuno is the lucky position of someone there who is supposed to hand him players as well.

Nuno is clearly a very good coach, but he has been massively helped by Gestifute and Mendes parking top players at Wolves. Will Mendes now bring his top prospects to Everton or will he still favour Wolves. Especially with Wolves owner the Chairman of Fosun Group Guo Guangchang owning part of Mendes's agency Gestifute.

But they do not play that kind of football. They have got the best results when the team has been deep and played counterattack football. Against established defense, they have been good at switching the game by leading the opponent to one side before using diagonal balls to the other side.
And does Mendes join Everton?
There's a glimmer of hope this news is just a smoke screen, to end up paying through the nose to "steal" this bloke from Palace is hard to swallow.
Another knee jerk panic signing in the making.
Just hope he gets the same sort of deal us mortals get in a new job........ie he's not entitled to redundancy payments, compo or golden handshakes if he bombs and leaves within 2 years.
I truly thought the new ethos of the club was to set high aims, I'd have rather had Ferguson in as caretaker until a true prospect arrives, cost effective and would have allowed us to bide our time for this make or break decision.

He wouldn't have been my choice but he might be just what we need. Let's hope so.

They pressed less than us last season...least amount of running distance covered in the league.
Pressing football? Negative wolves who dont run?
