Evans and Lennon. If that's seriously who we ate going to sign I would say don't bother signing anyone! Evans not good enough and Lennon headless chicken. Wtf is going on! Why do we end up with everyone's rejects? Something defintely not right somewhere! We need some quality and quick!

10 Aug 2015 22:30:50
Agree about Evans, but Lennon did well for us last season I would like to see him back, he's quick and direct which is exactly what we need Could allow mirallas to slot into the no.10 position!

11 Aug 2015 02:46:08
While I don't think Lennon is enough and is barely a start, it would be good to have him back. He makes the whole team work harder, ups the intensity and gets the beat out of Coleman.

Carragher giving RM coaching tips on mnf earlier made distinctly difficult and very discomforting viewing for me. Hope other posters saw it.

10 Aug 2015 22:13:36
Well carragher was right in the defence apart

11 Aug 2015 02:13:04
I began agreeing with Carragher Lant. But roberto didn't like it one bit. He needs someone to challenge him, because he's such a stubborn man.

10 Aug 2015 19:23:28
Anyone see the start of MnF? Martinez was on and they analysed the everton game in depth, Carragher (who I think is brilliant) was questioning his tactics. Roberto dodged everything ''We want to find passing channels and break teams down from open play'' was his go to answer every time.

Carragher then asked him about the effect of 2 strikers and increasing passing distance. Martinez notably started getting frustrated.

Thought it was very interesting. then obviously John Stones was analysed and I do get the feeling Martinez won't allow him to leave. Carragher gave his honest advice than stones should stay.

Also mentioned Ross Barkley, carra was at the game on the weekend and observed fans booing RB yet again. "those fan just simply need to shut up! He's a young local lad who wants to play for Everton'' and yet again, Carragher is spot on.

Hope some more pressure is put on Roberto during tonights show.

Went to school with him he is an Efc fan his hole family are

10 Aug 2015 17:41:58
It actually kills me when I see lfc ground being done and then spending big every year. Even when they had the other two Americans they spent. Then a takeover very quick and spend again and new stand. It's doing my head in. We're becoming a laughing stock. I can see bk trying to come up with some story to mask all this. Needs sorting

10 Aug 2015 20:04:56
Feeder club laughing stock.
Think we've got 2p in the bank

10 Aug 2015 21:57:18
I know its tough PB mate, but something we have all grown up with, the more fans you have worldwide the more money you bring in, we are dwarves compared to them,

Liverpool 120 million
Everton 15 million

8 times more, they are figures from the web so estimated probably, we need to sign more Chinese players asp lol

10 Aug 2015 22:25:52
Hasn't that got to do with are branding and marketing. We was huge like lfc so what went wrong. We're sponsored by Chinese lol so attack the market. Use are USA links and get in to there market

10 Aug 2015 17:25:07
I know the fans campaign against our current board is gathering pace but my only concern is what is the solution? I mean there does not appear to be anybody willing to invest in our club and we can't replace BK with nobody.

10 Aug 2015 20:06:15
Bill isn't the problem. Most of the board are richer than him and call the shots. He has most of his personal wealth tied up in the club. It's the board who won't give us any investment.

10 Aug 2015 19:58:07
My mate in work was telling me that an American chat show host asked Robert Earl if he owned evertonfc to which he replied yes so now who do we blame for are demise Earl or the man who invited into our club knew right answers please

10 Aug 2015 17:23:01
Rondon for 12 million to West bloody Brom. My word. Someone mentioned talent pool earlier, well Payet, Rondon and Shaquri for less than 30 million combined is our talent pool and the cream of that pool has just been scraped off by west ham, Stoke and west Brom.
I will hold my final verdict until the window shuts but I can't see the transfers we can do being that impressive

10 Aug 2015 17:52:47
Payet and rondos prob improve us most but poeple shouldn't be surprised with the extra money power the smaller wage teams have with this new to rights deal in place

10 Aug 2015 18:13:21
Dont worry,when Stones goes to chelsea we'll get Moses and another ex wigan player . We will be sorted then, my a&*e.For me ,sack the board and the manager .

10 Aug 2015 18:34:27
Spot on Svenny, Rondon was probably the best striker in Russia last season, 12m is another steal in my opinion. Less options available every day.

10 Aug 2015 16:50:22
Here we go again embarrassed by Stoke City - takes me back to the bad old days when we ended up signing Paul Rideout from Everton Reserves

10 Aug 2015 16:37:25
I may get slated but if we lose shaqari (excuse spelling) to Stoke then that's me finished. I can't watch our beloved everton be slowly strangled out of exsitance. I will save my close to hundred pound fortnightly and the usual two tops I buy and will not bother. What's the point? I may only be one fan jut I know a few who have or are doing it as well. Besides it's not fair on the wife, she gets the brunt of mood swings thanks to robbie.
I will look for the score on news night but laugh rather than cry about our results.

{Ed025's Note - dont give up on us just yet pauly, it does look like shaquiri is stoke bound but that could end up a good miss if reports about his attitude are right mate, personally im waiting till the window shuts before i say my piece..

10 Aug 2015 17:35:37
Have Everton actually come out and said were in for him. No they ain't it's the media.

10 Aug 2015 17:59:11
It's shaqiri not ronaldo and I'm guessing he carries baggage aswell by the way inter are trying to force him out

10 Aug 2015 18:20:20
Exactly Pb, it's starting to get comical on this site with all the moaning about missing out on players to 'smaller' clubs. A lot of fans seem to want us to spend cash just for the sake of it!

10 Aug 2015 18:37:05
To Pb78, I agree Everton have never stated they were in for him. However plenty of reputable sources have said we were. When was the last time everton actually said they were in for someone? Leroy Fer was it? Never actually signed.

We keep things quiet, martinez says in every interview he won't speak about other players. so obviously everton will never confirm are in for anyone.

10 Aug 2015 21:06:18
offs I've heard it all now some fan you are lol

10 Aug 2015 17:44:04
Ed025. We have had weeks to sign one quality player, who we can all look to for hope. Even in the dark days we always had big Duncan who would give us hope. Newcastle, palace, West ham, Stoke, Swansea etc have done this but like I said I will keep my money and will watch motd highlights.
I wonder if robbie and Co actually know how much resentment there is towards him and the board.

{Ed025's Note - i think they must do pauly, the club does monitor sites like this mate..

10 Aug 2015 14:58:37
. U21s now lose to Spurs 4-1. things aren't great are they!

10 Aug 2015 17:06:38
Was the tea served at half time cold as well, get a grip will you and stop moaning about everything and anything.

10 Aug 2015 18:58:56
.the tea was cold, our board is too old, we have no gold & our bloody muppet manager is going bald!! I have every right to moan, our club is a laughing stock at present!

10 Aug 2015 13:28:10
We must b the laughing stock of the premier league get linked with a decent player and we all start 2 dream every transfer window is the same absolute joke of a club, board, and manager so PI**ED OFF is a understatement

10 Aug 2015 13:24:49
Are we having to player trade? We have no transfer budget at all? or £4.5M for Gerry, that was it? So that means we've been wanting to sell Stones all summer.

Chelsea just playing us offering derisory bids in the knowledge we're skint and need to sell before buying so are going to wait until the last minute before matching our valuation knowing our targets are being picked off.

Not a selling club, yeah right.

10 Aug 2015 15:13:00
There is no evidence to suggest we are skint Mike and I don't think we were expecting any interest in Stones until after this season. As always, as a club we have kept our targets and our business behind the scenes, the press are the ones linking us with players and also selling our better players. Nothing to get worked up over

10 Aug 2015 21:09:53
clueless

10 Aug 2015 12:20:46
I think we just have to accept guys that we can no longer compete financially with any club above mid table status as we just simply don't have the dosh. as depressing as this is we have to get our heads out of the clouds & face facts - yes, we are a big club with a big past.but in financial terms we are no better newly promoted team from the championship therefore meaning the days of a top 6 finish have now gone! I say, bring back Moyes as under these lack of finances he is the only guy who could get the best out of the players for the littlest amount of money.on the other hand, . if we had financial investment then obviously Moyes would definitely not be the answer & someone like Klopp or Klinnsmann would be great, but I couldn't see the latter succeeding on no activity in the transfer market due to the lack of funds!

10 Aug 2015 13:42:01
I believe in the golden rule don't go back, Moyes did a great job for us and unearthed some great talent, Cahill, Coleman, Pienaar, Jags, Baines, that didn't cost much, but I don't think he can come back now.
The trouble is RM has signed some good players and broken the bank with Lukaku, the reality is he didn't look a 28m player this weekend, RM is not getting the best from the squad, and I don't believe the players have complete faith in the manager, which makes you ask the question do the board? and is that why they seem unwilling to splash the cash and we keep missing out on all these players, I think we will regret missing out on Payet!

10 Aug 2015 14:16:44
And lescott and stones, tbf when have we ever competed financially with the top since early 90s at best, we play in a fossil of a stadium and that's the sticking point

10 Aug 2015 14:38:19
As long as Supporters are not backing Bobby, its playing right in the hands of our board not to spend, how can we argue against the board not giving Bobby funds, if we are blaming Bobby.

We need to trust Bobby, give him the funds to buy instead of being also rans in the transfer window.

10 Aug 2015 17:25:31
The standard of players signed by Moyes overll was good. There were one or two exceptions. The standard of players signed by Martinez is much poorer overall

10 Aug 2015 12:13:49
shaquri medical at stoke by looks things we ain't getting no one

10 Aug 2015 11:01:21
been looking through our fixtures and honestly can't see us winning a game until 1st novemeber v sunderland at goodison, we area shambles and I fear the worst v Southampton at the weekend

10 Aug 2015 06:47:48
Please to god let something happen soon
