Rate the transfer window

10!

Just for the clean up they have done

I’d give us a B+. Bernard pushed it from a middling c as he could give us a serious creative midfield talent we been looking for. Gomes might solve our never replaces Artera issue... don’t know.

But as we still have a Lukaku sized hole that we couldn’t fill , although maybe Richarlison can do it, can’t be an A for me.

But I’ve learnt from last year.. I’ll judge the window based on results. We all thought last year we had done well only to find we were left totally unbalanced.. it’s doesnt feel that way, and I’m excited but won’t start celebrating yet

A case of seeing how they fit in. Different team, coaches, country, expectations etc.

A good example I suppose is I thought Keane would be fantastic here and Salah a waste of money across the park.

I've given it a 10, purely because the thought of going until January with Jags/Williams/Keane and Baines was painful.

 

[blueblue]

sure, doesn't make it a good window though unless they players turn out well.

But, that is true of every club. Liverpool have spent 200m and none of them may work out. Fulham have spent 100m and could still be relegated.
All you can do is assess the areas of weakness in your team and assess if they have been dealt with, and they have.

Broadly positive I think but I'm reserving judgement after last year.

Pleased with Bernard and Zouma. Digne isn't of pensionable age and should therefore be an improvement on Baines. Richarlison should be fun to watch too even if the fee was ludicrous.

On the negative side, I fear we might have done something rather silly with Mina and Gomes. Mina looks a £10m player and Gomes just looks like a broken man.

Of course it will be a few months before we can judge it, but for now I have to say "close to perfect" as "better than most clubs" doesn't do it justice. Exceeded all expectations and there is still time to get rid of a few.

As Confucius probably said: Only time will tell.

 

[Agent Blue]

I was 6/7 too, as we`ve been here before with false dawns.

Can see were you're coming from mate, this time last year most of us thought we'd had a decent transfer window........how wrong we were.
But this feels different, since M&M took over there has been more than a whiff of professionalism about the place, the incoming and outgoing playing staff have largely been what we all wanted, the Boardroom situation looks night and day to last season and Mosh (fair do's) has put his hand in his pocket again and backed our manager.

There is a quiet confidence and an air of expectancy around the place again which is fantastic considering where we were six months ago, as Mikey Fitzgerald said a while back "We are Koppite Kryptonite" and for the first time in quite a while I'm actually looking forward to the Derby.

 

[TippEverton]

An 8, a really boss cm ala Nzonzi would have pushed it to near perfect 10.

Still think we're lacking a bit in this area but over the moon we've managed to address / rectify so many other areas.

 

[catcherintherye]

In the last 3 seasons we have spent 330m on transfers.

Liverpool 370m
Everton 330m
Arsenal 225m.
Tottenham 170m


Net spend

Everton 165m
Arsenal 120m
Liverpool 100m
tottenham 70m

were rolling with the big boys here and we should have a team capable of going for 4th

Look at our team of players 25 and under. We are competitive with any side in the league. I can't see it being done in 1 year, but I can see potential.

 

[Catfish Blues]

Marcel had a dream
To build our football team
We had loads of money, but we still signed players on loan
We're a bit crap at the back
But are boss in attack
The school of science, it's on it's way back

 

[bicycleheader]

Decent

possibly brilliant depending on how the newbies all play. I'd only have Digne down as a defo solid week in week out improvement but they could all turn out to be wonderstars scoring blammos left right and centre

gonna be a wild ride

 

[tragert]

Very decent on paper

I have been watching all games of EFC since Cenk Tosun joined (am not a Besiktas fan). And what I saw last season was pretty shocking. A team and a manager( fat sam) know not much about football.This is what Everton was last year.

The unexpected thing is Everton rocked the transfer window of this summer and filled all necassary positions
never expected such a good performance from EFC tbh.

Good luck to Toffee Blues for the new season

 

[Coggy]

We still have to see how the players gel etc. That said it was a well structured recruitment to each of the areas of need. That ,combined with offloading some players I thought we would never be able to get rid of, and the fact that they have exceeded my expectations with the incoming players , means I would be miserable if I didn't give them a 10 for effort , and something to look forward to this season.

 

[Nyhus]

I would like to change my vote to perfect now that Zouma signed too.
