I’m not believing anything anymore till he’s starting on the pitch.
Usmanov.Who bids £52million for a player, see it rejected and goes 'nah you know what, we weren't that arsed about him anyway'.
Did Zaha want to come to us anyway? Methinks not.
This window should improve but so far its peak Kenwright. Still no striker, best cm on his jollies crucial signings still needed for 'that final push'. All masked by some nice cgi images of the stadium lol.

A basket case club. Utterly bizarre.Who bids £52million for a player, see it rejected and goes 'nah you know what, we weren't that arsed about him anyway'.

Why did Everton bid then ?
I haven't got a clue what is going on.
But my reading would be, we have made a second bid including Tosun and McCarthy and Palace have rejected it. Palace have then leaked the bid to Sky.
That then puts Everton in a really tricky position. We want to sell McCarthy and Tosun and we will want decent dosh.
If we bid £55m plus Tosun and McCarthy, that is possibly valuing McCarthy at £8m and Tosun at not much more than £15m (which would represent a massive loss on the £20m plus we spent on him 18 months ago).
So, it suits Everton to come out and say that we haven't put a second bid in. The alternative would tell all potential suitors that we dont value Tosun or McCarthy that highly (which we probably don't but its at least £22m worth of players).
I haven't got a clue where we go from here.
We just don't seem to learn . We've needed a striker since 2017, we knew Gueye was gone in Jan and we knew Zouma belonged to Chelsea. Plenty of time to get replacements? Yep. Did we get them in handy? Nope of course not.My thoughts exactly. I wouldn't care if Everton played at Altcourse prison yard, as long as we have a boss team on the pitch.
Darren Griffiths tells us there is a feel good factor around the club, I can't see it lasting if we don't sign a CF..
Knives will be unfairly out for Marco, and we'll be back to square one.
