Oh forgot they have divering Dave at the helm. He spent Everton's money like its his own. To be fair he didn't make many mistakes in the transfer market. Drenth, VDM and that defender who couldn't head the ball, was about it.

Well if the owner can be cajoled into spending money by the fans we know again where the problem lies and its not with the fans IMHO.

It's going to be either Che Adams or Wout Weghorst. And we'll have to wait.
James Beattie wasn’t a roaring success either.
Hi mate, do you have a preferred line up for the upcoming season? You see, until you get an opinion of your own, you are NOT entitled to question the opinion of others.
Thanks.

Personally, I was happy for him to be splashing the cash….
Just not on those players!!!

Its a very good trick to be fair.
He has a touch of the Sigurdssons about him though.
No not that...

The Beattie signing annoys me to this day.
We had a good set up with Bent playing as a lone striker doing loads of running and pressing, obviously the next step would be to get a better Bent with more of a goal threat and instead we bought a gifted but lazy player who could never lead the line on his own.
His sending off against Chelsea (?) still makes me laugh though.

Back in the days when we were a type striker away from being a really decent side
I felt sorry for him, as he was being asked to do a job, that he was total unsuited for.
He was a target man, not a lone runner like Bent.
Moyes got the Beattie signing badly wrong and it effectively finished his career too.

I’m not even sure what a reliable source here is any more.
No idea if the Dia links from Italy are true but stories on transfers like this do tend to come from the country of origin first, it’s generally more in the interest of the selling club than the buying club to leak stuff.
Guaranteed Weghorst scores at least one against us when we play Burnley if he doesn’t move on. It’s the Everton way!
Accountable for what? If you think that fans had any influence over how the Board spent the money Moshiri put into the club you are overestimating the power of the Everton supporter. You only have to look at the way the club has been run for years to see the Board have no thought as to the wants or needs of the people who pay to watch the team. A prime example of the regard Kenwright and Moshiri have for the supporters of the club is the way they leaked lies about headlocks and their safety towards the end of last season. The total disregard of the fans is now compounded by the fact Kenwright is still in post. In order to hold people accountable those people have to be accountable, in the sorry demise of a once great football club there are people who should be held to account, diluting the blame only serves to put of the day when those who are truly responsible have to take responsibility. Hopefully that day is not too far off, hopefully the club can rid itself of the incompetence at the top and then, and only then, it can start the long process of healing both in terms of sporting achievement and integrity.

It’s now 9 weeks since the season finished, 3 matches into pre season and 2 weeks away from the season starting, and we still haven’t signed a proper striker.
Now we’re being heavily linked with Che Adams.
Most observers would say that this is gross professional misconduct from the board.
How long ago was it that we sold Lukaku for £75m? And we still haven’t came close to replacing him.
