I dunno, they replaced Stones with Williams.
Do you not think we should have had deals in motion months ago too Friend? We've been in desperate need of about 10 players for ages.

Maybe we have got deals in motion?
But really why does now matter? We have no games coming up.
They'll come.
I hope so, but I have no real reason to believe Everton have suddenly changed and become competent in negotiating transfers.

Yeah..and we've conceded less goals and got a difference of 40 million but, ok not everyone will be happy.
Stones has been found out at City too, not saying he won't improve, I'm sure he will but this season he hasn't at all.

It would be great if for once the majority of our deals are done rapidly mate so the newbies can hit the ground running when they report back for pre season ideally.

You sure us conceding less goals isn't due to an actual manager coming in, instead of that clown we had?

Totally understand it mate. We've seen a lot of bad before. I just can't get annoyed about things that may still happen or at least haven't happened yet.
But people seem to be wetting the bed about City buying a boss player in May. As if it's as easy for us to the same.
It's not. If people have the expectation that we can be like city in the transfer market then that really is the individuals problem.
I'd hope so too. But it's never that easy. Fingers crossed though.

This is looking like the ultimate summer of the bedwetters.
Waiting to get the right players is key. I am glad we waited for the likes of Morgs etc.
I think Koeman has a strategy, you see it with most good managers particularly Jose. In the first season its about creating a foundation and setting a philosophy, in his first season he has done that the spine of the tea,m is significantly strengthened in Williams - our defensive record was a priority on the previous campaign and has significantly improved, the midfield engine room is one of the best in Morgs, Idrissa and Davies and Lukaku proved to be one of the best forward in the league. We have a discplicend high press philosophy, the players are much fitter and every player actually knows postitionally what is expected form them, rather then the free for all under Martinez. We achieved European qualification. When you analyse it all we have made significant progress in 12 months.
So the next phase, once the core of the team is develoiped and philosophy is set its adding creative quality or putting cherries on top. Your looking at creativity to add to the core elements of the teams strength. The three positions behind Rom are the priority with a keeper and center back. Essentially two inside forwards and a ten.
Transfers are a game of brinkmanship and players signing for clubs now are only doing so in exceptional deals, Zabeltea would struggle for 100k elsewhere at 31, Silva followed Citys pot of gold. No player is going to jump into deals without assessing their options. I imagine we are chipping away on deals for the likes of Siggy and Pickford but i would think they would be slow burners over the next month. Sandro will be assessing his options and Rooney has said he will announce is a few weeks. I would think its going to be pretty quiet over the next month unless we have a few young players in the ether.
