And/or our revenues are decreasing which would make sense given the loss of Usmanov led sponsorship and low league finishes.

Yeah, if there's any truth in this and we're at the stage of putting in offers we'll likely have agreement with the agent etc and the player will want the move so hopefully a compromise can be found. As long as there's room in what limited budget we have for a striker too.

Leeds want 20 Everton bid 15. They will meet around the middle somewhere and win win for everyone. Gnoto has agreed terms so it's left to the haggle men.

Who knows if any of these links and bids are true, but the club needs to urgently stop sniffing around quality players or prospects that have multiple clubs interested. They don’t care about the history of the club or the voracious fanbase. After 2 successive great escapes, a currently weaker squad, ropey finances and ownership changes, the only way we win these player auctions is with stupid offers and stupid salaries. And we can’t/shouldn’t do either of those. We’ll offer Leeds slightly increasing amounts, waste 3 weeks sucking up to his agents, then BANG Fulham/Forest/Wolves will offer 10p more and he goes there and we are screwed again.
Club needs to be realistic. Find the young pacey prospects at mid table European teams, or Championship, and be positive, confident and firm with the approaches and offers. Get them signed and sealed before the bidding wars start. We won’t be any worse off than we would be signing slow 32 year old donkeys and might by sheer luck unearth some gems and see some vaguely interesting football, then make some profits on sale.
Even the crappist of top 6 cast offs will string us along to the end of the window and go to Forest because they are still sort of on the up. Onana was the outlier in that he took a risk coming here to guarantee playing time. I think we are less attractive than last summer.

that is, until we replace the deadwood, with - well deadwood! Our scouting - recruitment is a joke. Any 12 year old using football manager could scout better then the imbeciles employed by Everton. I say employed, because they certainly don't chuffing work.
But you make some good points.

I'm less hopeful on the striker front, I must admit. The best we've been linked with look very uncertain. Horrible feeling it will be Weghorst and nobody else
Weghorst I think can do a job at least. We knew what we were getting with Dyche so if that’s the player he wants for his system we will have to roll with it. We’re really not in anything other than a mid-table/dog fight situation for me but I hope to be proven wrong.

Get Dembele in now. Move him on by Jan if he's pump

He'd be a better option, sure, but there hasn't been a whisper about him for a while. Unless it passed me by

Still astonishing it’s taken Kev 12 mths to find a striker and we’re still no closer. What a buffoon.

Mid table is a pipe dream, my friend. Even if we bring in Gnonto, Danjuma and Toure, we are in a relegation battle for certain. I'm already thinking that 4 points from the first three games would be brilliant.
What do you mean by back up? Going on the last 2yrs he will have to start 30 games and will score probably 2 goals.

Dembele will want 100k a week. You don't move guys like that on if they're cack, you're stuck with them. That's been our whole problem.
