I don't doubt that each of these signings would of been individually good ones, but collectively it just screams amateurish ambition

Seems like before Moyes left everyone was banging about squad depth and another striker to challenge Jelavic. By my judgment we've had a nice start, although possible departures could change opinion. Getting the Barca kid on loan could help improve spirits, however, if that's really in talks.

Waiting for more Wigan players to be signed.
Old Roberto is going to have to make it 4 if he is to add Mcmanaman

Kone- Scored the same number of league goals as Mata, Podolski, Tevez, Defoe, Giroud, Fletcher, Sturridge and Fellaini last season. How many of them could we have signed for £6.5m? He could be a decent addition.
Alcaraz- I've just read that Wigan kept 6 clean sheets in the 14 games he played last season. Only a 2 year deal though. It could be to do with his injury lay off last season or maybe he's seen as a stop gap while we make the transition with Heitinga and Distin being phased out for Lescott and Duffy?
Robles- I was expecting us to sign a veteran. I'm quite happy to have a Spain U21 'keeper though and someone who can develop, training with Tim Howard every day for the next couple of seasons. I'm not sure he's the safest pair of hands at the moment but he must have a lot of potential. Transfermarkt rate him at £2.6m, which seems quite cheap if true.
Martinez has talked about wanting a player for every 'unit' so, naturally we're expecting a midfielder next. If we did sign Moses for £8m from Chelsea where would he play? Other possibles include McCarthy, Honda, Fer, McGeady and Deulofeu.
Heitinga has to be nailed on to leave and I think there is still a question mark over Fellaini. If Martinez wants a left-footer at CB then Alcaraz will be third-choice, which could mean that we'd line up like this:
___________Howard
Coleman Jagielka Distin Baines
Mirallas Fellaini Gibson Pienaar
________Kone Jelavic
(Joel, Alcaraz, Anichebe, Barkley, Osman, Oviedo, Naismith)
I think it's probably got better balance and guile than Moyes' side.

to be fair we've been working 3 deals at once, 4 if we're actually talking with cska and Honda. This stuff takes time and major coordination from various people spread across Europe maybe the world considering all the tournaments going on.
Considering the deals for even just a single player like Paulinho take ages to do, I think we've worked very quickly.
Do you feel that though?
THAT IS EXCITEMENT SURROUNDING EVERTON! WHAT IS HAPPENING!?

NO HE IS NOT. He said Arteta was signed and sealed to Athletico from us and i was gutted, then i realised he'd been on the sangria and spent to long in the sun the deluded wankhawk.
Hope he signs though.

If we get Deulofeu in on loan, Moses in loan to buy, then sell Heitinga and get in a CM, Fer or Diame, without losing Baines or Fellaini, that's a very good transfer window for us

Well done Martinez . I think he's got his 3 solid players in who he knows ready for Austria . He will then assess the squad and see what needs improving . Just get us Honda Moses/ barca kid and this team is going places .
