Thelwell is boarding on Kenwright levels of fume.

The man is doing nothing. I understand you don't get your first target but you have a Plan B, C, D etc.

He is completely fishing in the dark. You can argue he doesn't have the money but we went for a 21 year old striker who had 12 goals to his career for £30m.

He makes Steve Walsh look competent
It seems like he has 1 main target each year; this Toure situation has highlighted that.

All his eggs seemed to be in that basket and now it’s a case of what can we get rather than who will improve us
 
Buy Nacho & Piroe plus winger (Gnoto or Harrison?) & central defender (loan with option to buy) . Not ideal but we need desperately to have some options up top. Nacho solid & steady with good PL experience & take chance on Piroe unless we could get Dia (and get rid of Maupay!)

Gray, Holgate, Maupay, Gomes & Gbamin out please. Net spend about £10m-£15m without Gordon or Kean money!
 
….all the Central strikers in all the world & Everton can’t buy one?

I just don’t believe it. Regardless of budget, it’s a big pond out there to fish in. There’ll be plenty of young strikers with genuine promise that would welcome a move to a PL club. Of course it’s difficult to identify one but that’s Thelwell’s job. El Bilal Toure just joined Atalanta for big bucks but was picked up by Almeria last season on the cheap.

I’m not suggesting it’s easy, but it’s what the DOF does, it’s his job.

NO EXCUSES, this is Thelwell’s 3rd window, JUST DO WHAT YOU GET PAID BIG BUCKS TO DO.
63 days since the Bournemouth game and we are in actually worse shape now.

I'm not buying there's no money either as you say there's a whole world out there with players that would jump at the chance to come here.And the vast majority would be an upgrade on Maupay.

This leads me to believe there is NO scouting at all being done.

These clowns need booting out , the lot of them.

Until he starts bidding against himself for players, let’s not get too ridiculous here
 
We were only spending £25m on him because his club were willing to let us pay on our less than favourable terms. It isn’t because Everton thought Toure was the best option available for £25m
Some reports the swansea lad could leave on a free transfer. That should have kenwright frothing at the mouth.
 

I've done it again... I actually believed that we would improve before the start of the season. That the only way was up from the last two seasons...

However it's the same old Everton... I think it's even more frustrating as evey fan can see we need goals... This isn't something that has been sprung apon us. This has been the best part of 18 month's in the making most likely more. However we have been inept, we've got so much work to do l, I'm not asking for anything intangible. I'm drained of the consistent concern if other teams results. Mentally working out of they win or we win will we stay up. It's just unacceptable now.

Anyway.. Good morning blues

Agree all i can see is they have been scouting the right players, that is great anyone can do that the point is getting players done and gere to help the team.
 
The summer of 98 we signed Marco Materazzi, Olivier Dacourt and Ibrahim Bakayoko in one week.

The single most exciting moment in Everton transfer history since I started supporting them.

They went on to win Champions Leagues, World Cups, League Titles.

John Collins aswell. Had just played in a CL SF for Monaco.

Such a boring manager though the late Walter Smith, can anything remember anything at all that happened in 2000/01 other than the fan squaring up to Nyarko at Arsenal, think that was late April?

98/99 was terrible aswell until final gamble of bringing Kevin Campbell in on loan spectacularly paid off.

Not defending him here but if there is no cash then he's got to be looking in loans and freebie territory. If he was in charge in the Walsh era and actually had some decent wedge to bring in players it could be totally different. I think blaming him is allowing the board of old and those remaining to get away with their awful running of the club and we can't let those remaining get away with that.
 
I don't buy the "working hard" thing either.

They're trying things, but in a scatter-gun approach with no real plan or strategy.

There are players available for a side woefully short of goals and quality. The question is more who doesn't improve us rather than who does. We're not competing with Man City and Man Utd.

This is what happens when there are too many people charged with doing too little. Everyone looks at everyone else and when something does get done, it lacks anything in terms of creativity.
