Sick of this nonesense every season. Were always buying for the future, the only one that's ever made an impact from these buys is Stones n then they eventually go to the highest bidder. I've said it before on here and i'm not apologising for saying it again, this policy doesn't work, its been going on for donkeys years and it still hasn't bore fruit.
Its time to change, get a Manager in who buys to try n win somat that season, then if it doesn't work you go sell to buy again for the next season, simples. It means you have hope at the start of each season your going for somat, a winning mentality not a "lets see how it goes, hopefully gain experience n in the next 2 years we may have a good team", Bonkers!!

{Ed025's Note - i know how you feel howie...but is it the manager or the board putting a restraint on buying?..

Agree0 Disagree3

Tend to agree Howie, although Galloway will make it. I just wish we would sign some youngsters that will get us out of our seats. We just seem to sign defenders.Dare I mention the Reds and Sterling and Ibe

You say this has been going on for years. Let's name some names in that case.
So you don't think Seamus Coleman has proved a successful buy?
What about the likes of Baines, Jagielka , Arteta and Cahill - all unproven in the top tier at the tine we brought them in.
None of the above was a massive fee.
Then when we did transfer out players, we got top dollar for them (and made a tidy profit) - such as Lescott and Fellaini. I'll concede that the profits might not have been re-invested wisely - if at all some would accuse.
OK - we haven't got near the glory days of the mid-1980s and earlier, but we are now competing in a football world where the Champions League clubs are a cosy (unofficial) cartel and football is awash with TV money that puts up transfer fees and player wages - not that agents aren't happy with that anyway (!).
Will we ever be successful again - who knows?
Will BK and RM be the people to make that happen - who knows?
Will all Evertonians ever be satisfied - never IMHO, as many (as exemplified by posters on this forum - and I include myself) need to have a whinge about all and sundry just to make their day ;-)

{Ed025's Note - its ok to have a moan in my book sid, and god only knows that if anyone is entitled to moan its us evertonians!, in fact anyone who is happy should seek medical advice asap mate..but im sure coby will disagree.. :)

You misunderstood, there have been countless youngsters bought in and left in the reserves or u 21 as it is now, they have all moved on, failed to get in the team or off on loans or gone abroad never to be seen again. I wish I could name them, i'm sure Everton anoraks will tell you them. Their names just go by the wayside with George Green the last one, but there has been a few too from broad, even Australia and US, never heard of again. All those u mentioned were bought for the first team squad not the u21 squads n younger, to be our future or not as it turns out.

you make a, well, you make a point that goes for near enough every club. I'd say most clubs have more misses than hits when signing youngsters for the youth setup. But like I said below, that is no reason to not sign them, Stones was not bought for the first team, under Moyes he didn't play once I don't think and was only brought in to the first team after Martinez took over. Players like Kennedy did not make it but we made profit on him, we didn't make profit on George Green but according to Tranmere fans he had attitude problems not to mention his horrendous injury record at such a young age. Regardless, it is still worth the risk, for every few Sam Kelly's there is a John Stones. I'm glad we are buying youth, yes we need first team players but if he goes on to become a good player, it was worth it, if he doesn't we make a small profit and if not, half a mil isn't much. It's worth it definitely.

I did say Stones was one of a few it worked. We are in a predicament though because of the Club we are now though, because if they do make it, we profit from them, we don't actually benefit from them in the team,lets hope we keep Stones for one more Season at least, but you know aswell as me if its not this Season it will be next, unless we achieve Champs League footie, n with this squad, be honest, its not going to happen as we aren't strong enough, and neither are we at the momment trying to be stronger to challenge for it. So it goes back to my originl point, buy for trying to win somat each Season, not for in a few years time, which doesn't work nor has it worked anywhere.
