I think the reason we haven't bought anyone as of yet is that the board and Moshiri don't trust the current scout set up as I've seen one of the eds comment about possible outside interests of the scouts.

So once we get Walsh appointed as DOF things will move a long nicely.

19 Jul 2016 22:32:17
Good point that.

19 Jul 2016 21:11:28
So it looks like Walsh is dof. That's what's taken so long. And a good edition if you ask me.
Things are looking good Blues.

I see a few unknowns in the next few weeks, that will turn out to be Diamonds.

New owner, New manager, New dof and possibly a new stadium.

OMG! There is so much negativity on this site! "Everton have to sell before they buy" Get a grip! If we are having this conversation in September please feel free to panic. Why would Steve Walsh and Ronald Koeman leave amazing jobs to join a struggling club? I don't want to offend anyone but just support our team.

19 Jul 2016 23:22:49
Exactly KingpinDuaney. Koeman joined because he obviously believes in something. If Walsh signs that's 2 top names joining Everton. Still impatient fans give out about no signings. I'm over the moon. Signings will come eventually. When its the right at thing to do. Until then no one will be signed and I'm not bothered.

Hi Eds looks like Steve Walsh has signed from Leicester now can we get some players?

19 Jul 2016 17:35:52
I have been abused for being "negative" when I warned of patience being needed and how 100 million would not automatically buy us success. I now read so many posts on here by people panicking about lack of signings and same old Everton. This is exactly why I was saying "caution needed-Rome was not built in a day". I think we will do well to make top half of the league this season and people need a reality check. I have never before seen such a strong list of teams with quality players. Some have already made astute signings and yes we are lagging behind. but panic buys such as Niasse are not the answer. Calmness and support under adversity is the answer.

Degsy do you only post on here too blow your own trumpet or do you want us all to say 'Degsy you're the guru of everything Everton? ' Your posts are always the same and i'm pretty sure that most of the regulars here (me included) don't even bother reading them anymore as I know what you're going to say. The only surprise with this post is that you never mentioned how our midfielders only score 1-2 goals a season. Change the record. The club are moving in the right direction, pour yourself a beer, smile because your face won't crack and enjoy being a supporter of the greatest football club there is. COYB!
For every poster that says they are worried at the lack of signings so far there are thousands of us not worried as we know things are happening and we will make signings before the window closes.

19 Jul 2016 19:20:09
There is no reason to panic, we are in the position we should have expected. RK said he wanted to assess his squad before deciding where we need to strengthen, who he wants to keep and who can be put up for sale. Due to the Euro's and the tournament in South America, he has only had some of the players for 2 days. He won't have had enough time to judge properly until he has put them all through their paces. I expect things to start moving towards the end of this week.

19 Jul 2016 19:22:17
Also Niasse was Russian player of the year, if you watch his videos on YouTube he looks good, and if anyone says the Russian league is poor. My answer to that is Yarmolenko. Everyone want's him and he wasn't Russian player of the year.

Like everyone I would love to see some signings especially some of the names that have been linked with. But I'm getting bored of people moaning about not signing anyone. We will when Koeman and Moshiri and anyone else involved decide to.
Quit female dogging.

19 Jul 2016 20:12:37
Yarmolenko plays in Ukranian league mate.

20 Jul 2016 08:24:48
Degsy you frustrate me beyond belief. I agree with the general sentiment of your post. Yes, people need to be patient, and yes, the added money offers no guarantee of success. You are also correct when you say that panic buys are not the answer.

However, you have to realise that the way you say things winds people up. This "I told you so" attitude is really grating, especially when half of the things you take credit for haven't actually happened yet.

I completely disagree that we will finish below the top half this season, and if you believe that why bother even supporting the team. Being realistic and pessimistic are two totally separate things mate. We have just taken a key member of the management team from the current champions, and appointed a manager who is highly regarded and sought after. We have a good squad with some fantastic prospects, and only a left winger and Goalkeeper away from having a quality first 11, yet you still act like we are "bringing a knife to a gun fight" like your beloved Moyes would say.

Hi eds

Just wondering if you can clear something up.

We got koeman on the pretence that there would be a large transfer budget and that unlike saints he wouldn't have to sell his best players to buy.

So far we've seen zero acticity transfer wise apart from being linked to every player. We are reportedly about to sell stones who is one of our btightest prospects.

Us there issues with kenwright conducting transfers? Or is he trying to just flog more season tickets

Is there problems with ronny getting the players?

Has moshiri been forth coming with the money that was promised as I've never seen a figure if how much he will plow into the club.

If moshiri hasn't then where's the TV money

The reason I ask is that the bright new Dawn we all expecting hasn't come about and I'm wondering if there's trouble beind the scenes as I've heard a rumour there is
Now if it's just ronny looking at the squad then fair play and if the signings are to follow then sound I'll hold my hand up and I know well blood the kids and be stronger for it. but if the goal is to break into the champions league asap then the curent squad is not good enough and I fear another midsole finish awaits

And info greatly appreciated.

{Ed001's Note - seriously? The window isn't shut yet, try showing some patience. Do you want just anyone or the right ones?}

19 Jul 2016 16:54:19
The right ones odviously and I'm sorry for being cynical but I don't want it to be same old same old.

19 Jul 2016 17:33:24
Have to agree with Ed here. Even if moshiri had literally droppedthe money off in a briefcase who would have chosen who to spend it on. Rk was always going to assess the squad before making any moves. The squad (excluding rom) have only just got back. If they had gone out and spent load of money without being careful we would be calling for murder.

19 Jul 2016 22:15:45
Jesus, can't believe some fans really can't, trouble behind the scenes because we haven't bought anyone yet haha.

19 Jul 2016 10:56:47
Now app. We're not going for Carvalho as we are baulking at the fee quoted😪😪😪😪😪😭😭give me strength!

19 Jul 2016 15:22:52
all paper talk Sol, just guessing mate, no club keeps its card as close to its chest as ours.

19 Jul 2016 16:46:55
I'll b keeping something else close to my chest soon Murf if all this inactivity continues. when are the board going to learn - you need t get your signing done early!

19 Jul 2016 10:00:13
Saido Berahino anyone? Definitely think he's worth a punt at 15 million-ish.

19 Jul 2016 10:17:30
Just his attitude Faz, Spurs gave him a widebirth, spoilt prima donna but worth a punt as talent there, probably would not take a loss of much if he didn't work out either.

19 Jul 2016 10:31:58
Attitude is questionable but may be he just wants a move to a bigger club and wba wouldn't let him. He definatly has talent and would be a good signing imo.

19 Jul 2016 11:52:34
We've already got one spoilt brat in lukaku do not put these two in the same team.

19 Jul 2016 21:57:24
spot on browner. apart from being utter crap the guy has an ego bigger that ronaldo and zlatan put together thee most overated player i have ever seen 4 goals in 30 odd games wow let's go and get him[not ] a bad infuence in the dressing room lots of teams taking a wide birth. another exsample of a average player bieng talked up because of some wonder goal he may have scored many moons ago but since then done sod all only cause trouble. its a no from me.
