I'd absolutely take a signing (forward) before the Sporting game as something in the right direction.Wait til the Sporting game , in true Everton fashion there'll be a signing ( truly underwhelming one )the night before & wheeled out at half time to appease the fans.
We've seen all this before but it's not going to work this time , it won't wash with the fans anymore.
Then the Fulham game will be full of protests , what a way to start a new season.
The worry is there'll be none and its all down to a single day on September 1st, and even with the best will and more, things can and do go wrong then.
It's the very definition of desperation waiting, or being made to wait till then.
And its perfectly feasible on the day to end up with nothing. We've all seen it all before. The anticipation in the morning, frustration as the afternoon progresses, and sheer anger by early evening when its apparent there are no deals in the pipeline and/or the deals that have been lined up, have failed.
Dyche will be told to have a version of "we'll go with what we've got" ready for his next programme notes.
That's the very real, and because it's Everton, very possible scenario.
