Gnonto isn’t signing I’m afraid.
Danjuma is now linked to Milan.
For Elanga, it’s more likely to be Phil Jones.
McNeil and Doucoure will be in the starting XI.

Other than that, good work.

A lot of that is also down to the mindset of how we setup and how we execute that plan though. When we do have the ball and try to get forward, we need to start trying to just get more players forward in support in general. You won't score if you don't have anyone in scoring positions, too many times last season we got the ball forward but there was nobody waiting in and about the box to pass too. We have to be more aggressive on the front foot imo.

People keep saying this but let’s be clear, there is no universe where this current version of Everton can buy someone who will ‘guarantee’ PL goals.

Anyone who has scored double figure goals in the PL and would actually be wanted by Everton fans, will be far too expensive for us to ever buy. Anyone older e.g Vardy, Che Adams, Ings etc. wouldn’t be wanted and doesn’t carry any guarantee they can score as they did previously.

Anyone from abroad obviously hasn’t done it in the PL so there’s no guarantee what number they’ll score.

Players perform differently under different managers in different teams. Richarlison was double figures goals most seasons for us, goes to a better team, gets one goal. McNeill had scored one pl goal in 18 months or something ridiculous like that before he joined us, he then got 7 last season most of them in the half season under Dyche.

If Calvert Lewin stayed fit all season, big if then playing the game most on here seem to like playing we’d say well he’ll get over 10 goals and McNeill will get close to that as well, why don’t we add in Dele’s as well? Suddenly there’s no problem is there.

It just doesn’t work the way far too many people are going on about on here, every time we buy someone going ‘where’s the goals though’. Everyone is a gamble, we’re not going to buy a player that everyone will be unified in saying ‘oh great there’s a guaranteed 20 goals’

True and that's why I guess the likes of Gnonto or Danjuma are potential that they would add goals in our system. One thing though we also do need another number nine who has some kind of history of goal scoring (whatever league they have played in)because again if Dom is injured which has been usual for two seasons we are badly exposed.
