Barkley, Deulofeu and Mata feeding Lukaku. He is going to score even more than 25 next season. Always wanted to see what he could do with the sort of service Kane gets, well now we'll see it.

Currently 12-1 to be league top goalscorer, might be worth a wager. Saying that I have already backed us to win the league at 100-1 and the FA Cup at 25-1 ;)

I imagine you'd have said the same about Vardy last summer, or Berahino and Austin in 14/15.

If Rashford plays I expect him to do some serious damage. He's quality.

True, but all 3 were older than Rashford will be next season, Vardy and Austin had been playing for years and Berahino had over 30 appearances the season before. Completely different circumstances

I think we will operate in a hardy manner like Dynamo Kyiv and Zenit, Mr Ryazantsev doesn't take [Poor language removed] from anyone, so has probably put a gun to Rom's head telling him to sign a new deal.

I suppose it depends how highly you rate Rashford, and how often you think Mourinho will use him.

I fancy him to have a breakout season, like Owen and Fowler did at his age.

Some deluded people on here.

If we want to even think about competing at the top table then we need to accept that sometimes you have to pay nob head players top whack because they add something vital to the team.

We would find it difficult to replicate Lukaku's goal scoring record with a new signing. We may get lucky when signing a new player, or we could end up getting a more expensive version of Niasse.

There is a reason he has been linked with a £65m move.

Ello mate, thought I was out of order there. I know this is so unlike a forumite....i thought about what I said there and I......I agree.
 

With juve potentialy selling pogba for 100mil, bonucci for 45mil plus morata for 25mil they will have a fair size war chest and might come calling for lukaku.
 
I am not panicking just yet (as some seem to be) but at the same time I am a little disappointed. It's approaching mid-July and we've signed a reserve goalie for a nominal fee. It's just another average Everton summer.

Don't get me wrong I know there are reasons for the lack of action so far:
1) getting Koeman in took a while due to complications with Southampton
2) possible delay in getting transfer action started due to wanting a director of football (which it appears we're now not going to get)
3) all decent players are/were at the euros/copa America and are now on holiday
4) Koeman possibly wanted to start pre-season and see what he had before bidding for new players (although in my opinion you don't need to watch Kone train to know he's no good)
5) possibly the key reason for the delay-we don't know if stones and lukaku are leaving which wcould alter our transfer plans in a huge way.

However, certain issues are starting to worries me now. Why re-sign Gibson? Yeah, I know he's decent when fit but any of the current top 6 teams would've released him without thinking. You could say he is good back up, but the point of being a good back up player is that you are ready to come in when needed. Gibson isn't a good back because he's injured 50% of the time. Sod's law, when we need him he'll be unavailable.

I'm also a little worried about our supposed new wealth. Moshiri seems to be worth anything from 1.2-1.8 billion depending on who you ask. Ok, that's more than I'll ever have but in football terms it's not really that much. Especially in this brave new world where Watford are able to reject a £25 million bid for Troy Deeney. If your saying moshiri has 1.8 billion. That's "only" £1800 million. Equating to 56 Troy Deeneys (and that's without wages). Be surprised if he's going to blow his net worth 2-3 years of backing Everton in the transfer market.

In short I can totally understand people's frustrations. Evertonians have had false dawns before and are rightly pessimistic. With Moshiri for me it's a case of "show me the money" and when I see it I'll believe it.

p.s. mata and Witsel are goo players/better than what we have. However I'm. It too bothered if we miss out on them.
