With an announcement expected this morning I want to express my concern about the speed this transfer has been completed – I find it reckless and irresponsible. We've not had 2 weeks of us offering less than the selling club want, said selling club have not demand more money after the deal was agreed, we appear to have met the players demands first time, the medical happened in a half a day without finding any problems like Leroy Fer exploding knee syndrome and not one paper has said expect an announcement in next 48 hours. This is not the Everton way!

I may have been too hasty with my criticism.

In the Moyes era we made a load of signings in a short period that had long-term value: Cahill, Arteta, Jagielka, Baines, Lescott, Pienaar. These players became the core of a decent team, all excellent investments.

It scares me that now we have more money we lurch to spending the bulk of that money on short-term value instead of trying to use it to build something longer term.

For comparison Spurs two big transfers in the summer were aurier and sanchez, who are 24 and 21 respectively represent long-term value. There are exceptions of course but generally when Spurs spend they spend on younger players.

Players like Son, Ben Davies, Alderweireld, Wanyama in previous seasons. You're telling me we can't attract players like that until we have Walcott?

The club drags the momentum of excitement out of people when it comes to signings, time and time again fans are left waiting and waiting. The only recent one I think of done fairly quickly and a surprise was Pickford I think. There must be reasons for this.
