Just because we haven't signed anyone doesn't mean we are reluctant to spend. Firstly, I take any media speculation linking us with every player under the sun with a pinch of salt. They are mostly guess work because we have money to spend.
Secondly, I believe behind the scenes we are constantly working hard to make deals happen. However, we want to sign high profile players yet don't have nothing to attract them as such. We have no sort of European football to offer which all these top players want and we are a team who have been poor for the last two seasons. Add to this we don't pay stupid wages.
Seen on so many forums like this evertonians saying this is the best squad we have had and Martinez is ruining it and how with our squad we should be pushing top four. Even pundits were saying the same. So how come all of a sudden we need this massive overhaul of the squad? Up to now the only players we have lost are players past their best who rarely featured in the first team. Yes they need replacing, but with the right sort of player.
Then you have to consider we don't know if we will keep hold of Stones and Lukaku. So we could go out spend money in other areas and they leave meaning we have to strength there as well. Add to that the FFP rules we need to adhere to.
We all got what we wanted, Martinez gone and a quality manager in. Add to that we have a great back room staff put in place and quite a few promising youngsters coming through.
Yes we need to add to the squad, but not just go throwing money around because we now have some. Look at Niasse we are going to take a big loss on him. Plus of the players other teams have signed how many of them would we really want at Everton and for the money they went for.
Let's trust in Koeman to get the players he wants and we need to get us back were we should be. Let's go into the new season in a positive mood. Let's remember signing new players isn't a simple as it is on FIFA!

He hasn't said he won't sign just that he will wait til the summer before talking about it. Yes this does indicate he is willing to look at moving on.
Thing is at present I couldn't blame him. The team has not kicked on from last season actually took massive step backwards. Plus he seems to be the first player pulled off each game he starts.
I wouldn't commit to a company I was unsure of what their future was.

I have also been told this by someone who is close to the team. I was shocked as Eto seems such a good guy, but if its true ship him out now and get the team spirit back.
