His post semifinal meltdown was hilarious to be fair.

we finished 8th last season mate hardly mid table - if we show some ambition (looking unlikely at this stage) and made 3-4 good signings to compliment Pickford, Coleman, Gana, Walcott, Siggurdsson and Tosun we will have a decent season imo. My concern is we are not making any concrete moves other than registering interest when the clock is ticking.

8th is hardly mid table?? What is 9th? 12th?

Utterly embarrassed that the mighty England lost to a tiny ant like Croatia.

Need to start making moves now, surely we want new signings to get a few preseason games in..

Why?

Honestly, serious question, why do we care if our new signings play in Pre-Season? It doesnt matter, we are signing players that we hope will serve the club for 3+ years at the very least, not 5 or 6 games in preseason.

Sure I get the "We need them to integrate into the squad", but its a total myth, most players wont fully integrate for 6 months, basically, at THIS point, its really not about getting them in early, its just about getting them in.

Nothing will be the same.

Hurry up and sell some crap Everton

Seeing their faces on training videos is annoying me

NEA if we sign anyone - Just get rid of the metric ton of elephant dung we've accumulated under the PE teacher

What I want to know is why is Coco even still here. Just terminate him he’s got zero value.

Goal can also reveal that Everton have no fewer than six names on their shortlist for the left-back position, which was a problem for the club throughout last season.
Celtic’s Kieran Tierney was their top target, but the Scottish champions are keen to keep their home-grown prospect and have slapped a £25m ($32m) valuation on the 21-year-old in a bid to ward off potential suitors.
That has led Everton to weigh up alternatives, with Lazio’s Belgian international Jordan Lukaku, Hertha Berlin’s Marvin Plattenhardt and Inter Milan’s Dalbert Henrique all under consideration.

So too is another Barcelona defender, Lucas Digne, and Rennes’ Ramy Bensebaini. Brands has held talks with numerous clubs and agents as he looks to solve a problem position.

We got em in relatively early last season and that was a disaster. Our last day of the window signings tend to be better.

Off the top of my head... Fellaini & Lukaku,

If I'm putting on my 'rational' hat, Brands spending his time making sure we fill CB with the perfect long-term signing rather than splurging on other areas we aren't short in is the correct way to go about business.

Now this would be lovely. He was a complete BEAST at Nice. Not sure why Milan wasn't playing him as much, but he's a super talented player for sure.
