Since all the players we have been "linked" with, are now rumoured to be heading elsewhere or staying put. Does that suggest we either weren't linked, or that it's going to be a disappointing window.? I'm still hopefully that all signings were on hold until our DOF came in!
It would seem somewhat pointless buying players, that he wouldn't of been in agreement with.

How many players in total have we really been linked with?

What I mean by that is how many players have Everton actually said " We want this player? "

The only links that have ever been suggested have come from the press, who let's be honest are the last people we should believe. If we get linked to someone by a credible source that is the time we should get excited.

We must remember it is Everton we are talking about who are well known for keeping their cards very tightly to their chests. If we were going to sign someone we would of done it before the new DoF was in place we certainly would not of waited and risked the deal falling through.

That was my point. The "links" weren't actually links, and were just tabloid fabrications. But are you saying, that we haven't been interested in signing anyone then? Because if we were, we would have already done so!?

Yes,

I think if we had been interested then we would of got them by now. RK has to assess everything we had at Goodison from the players to the meat pies, His first priority ( Knowing a DoF would be joining soon ) would be to undo everything RM touched, he had to reshape everything at all levels. I would even wager he has had a big say in appointing the DoF.

No doubt RK is and has been compiling a list of players we need and positions that need filling, but the work of capturing these players now falls to SW. At the end of the day RK is only human and as such can only do so much, FM, RK and SW now have the unenviable task of rebuilding our beloved club and rebuilding it in such a way we will be a major force for decades. I honestly believe RK is there to rebuild over the next three years, Europe which I think he will get us in year 2 or 3 will just be a bonus. The work has started, the Juggernaut is rolling and will soon be unstoppable.
