Even by Everton standards, this window must be one of the most depressing yet. On the back of the TV deal, I don't think anyone would have expected us to have spent just £4.5 million going into the last week of the window. Yarmalenko aside (that is never happening btw) we're only being linked with Mori (never heard of him until last week) and some kid from the Guetamalan second division or whatever. We're being outspent by Championship clubs which is pitiful really.
Now, almost inevitably, we've got Stones putting in a transfer request. I say inevitably, I think the script was written a long time ago. It was always going to drag on all summer, with a transfer request almost exactly 1 week before the window closes. Leaves us no time to spend the money obviously. It's the Everton way of doing things.
I think if we end this window with a negative nett spend, this'll be my last season ticket after 21 years. Just can't be doing with constant feeling of being ripped off by Kenwright and his dodgy mates.
