I get the feeling he is still unsure of the level of backing from the board, and/or may feel underwhelmed at whatever budget they have told him is available.
I expect he was furious as a result of the debacle that was the summer window. I just hope that whatever persuaded him to leave Southampton in terms of having a sufficiently large budget holds up to scrutiny, as aside from his own bumper salary here he could probably have remained there and waited for a better offer.
My hope is that he didn't join us on blind assurances, and that Moshiri can and will deliver in terms of transfer spending. But we need lots of players, and in my estimate, they'll have to put in well in excess of £100m between now and August, outside of sales. How realistic is that I don't know. I always get nervous when it is time for Everton to deliver, such as this month, as they never ever seem to come close to matching expectations, on the pitch or off it.
If he is of the opinion that he can't overhaul the squad to the degree required, then I won't know what to think.
