I know I'm going to just seem negative, but I'm really not happy with our transfer business and really worried about this season.

- Stones was always going to go, so why have we waited until a week before the season starts AND played our entire pre-season with him as a key part of the squad? I get that City may have simply not bid yet, but we could have tried to see how the squad functions without him in preseason.

- Williams is a solid and experienced premier league defender, but he's 31 years old and overrated. Why haven't we invested that money into a new, exciting young centre back rather than a carbon copy of Jags who will be gone in 2 years?

- I'm a big fan of Bolasie, but £28m is insane. He WILL be a flop. He's very exciting to watch on MOTD or Youtube because of his ridiculous skills, but watch him week in week out and you start to realise that 9 goals (3 of which where in one game) and 13 assists in 100 premier league games is NOT acceptable. I know a couple of Palace fans who aren't so keen on him. He's just a better McGeady but will garner the same frustration.

- Signing Stekelenburg is laguhabke. The man has been at 2 premier league clubs and been disastrous at both. He would be good as back up, if we go for Begovic (who would be amazing) , but that's just going to hinder Joel (who is far from perfect, but doesn't deserve to be shut out) .

- Gueye is a good tackler, but he offers 0 attacking threat and cannot pass or dictate play at all, so he will neither replace or improve upon Barry or McCarthy

And finally, STILL no Striker or Right back. The Lukaku situation will drag on until the last minutes when we'll let him go and either be stuck with Kone for a season or panic buy another Niasse at the last minute and it'll be a disaster.

Thought this was the season things would start to look up but typically for Everton, they've just found a new way to infuriate and disappoint.

Who you working for AB1878? Obviously some of Evertons enemies?

10 Aug 2016 13:34:28
Negative AB, freaking understatement there mate, its just a game mate, let's see how things pan out.

10 Aug 2016 13:37:17
Ab1878 - you talk absolute rubbish man. Answering your own question in the first paragraph. You don't have a clue.

Ashley Williams is a short term solution for shoring up our defence - a very solid dependable player who will defend better than stones did.

Jesus lad how negative can you get first of gueye is a very good signing as will Bolasie stats wise both top 2 for there respective teams also Williams overrated do ypu not watch much football once again stats wise 1st in every category and a born leader throw into the possibly Bony and maybe a new goalkeeper and I'm actually feeling positive about the season all be it will be a slow start but once the team connects we will have a fine season how about for once we look at the positives instead of the negatives coyb.

Think the funniest comment is, Bolasie i'm a big fan of, He WILL be a flop. Goodness me you praise someone then say they will be a flop, confused if ya ask me hahahaha!

10 Aug 2016 14:33:27
When you say you're a fan of Bolassi then say he WILL flop I decided to stop reading because that's just silly. How can you be a fan of a certain flop.

10 Aug 2016 16:21:01
God! The players not even played a game for us yet and your on one, give it time they might surprise you. Bolasie was a nightmare last game he ran us into the ground and I'm a genuine fan of him.

10 Aug 2016 17:17:57
Same was said about Lennon when he signed, he's not done too badly for us, I think I will judge Koemans judgement, may even offload Niasse in the deal.

AB1878 did post at Lunchtime Hic Hic!

Okay, I'll admit I was being a bit TOO negative, but I stand by a lot of what I said;

to BLUEY79: Yes, I do watch a lot of football, which is exactly where my opinions come from. I don't just base my opinion purely off stats, which can be misleading. I will admit I was overly critical about Williams. I think he is slightly overrated, but he is still a very good and dependable defender and a leader (which we have sorely missed) , I wass just annoyed that we've sold arguably the best young centre back in the world and replaced him with a 31 year old.

- To everyone regarding my Bolasie comment, I stand by it. I am a fan of Bolasie because of how entertaining his highlight reels are and how he can do things which you would normally see in a freestyle competition, but I know for a fact he will frustrate and disappoint most fans with his lack of final product. It is exactly the same as when we signed McGeady. I was a fan of him before hand because he was so skillful he actually has a move named after him, but I knew he would be a flop and the fans would hate him and was 100% right.

If we sign Bony and Begovic (or Mata or any of these fairly exciting names) , then my tone will change, but at this moment in time, the way I see it is that we've bought a solid midfielder who will offer nothing new and replaced an exciting young centre back with an old one. And still not signed a new striker.

Well if you watch football you will know how good Williams is and what a handful Bolasie will be add to that mirralas Lennon del boy Barkley and Bolasie with some playing and some coming off the bench is a frightening thought as I said think positive my man this big sleeping giant is finally waking up ps regarding Stones if he wanted to be the best defender he would of stayed at us and learnt from Koeman I don't care what he says like all modern day so called superstars they want it now and don't think they have to earn it first good riddance to him.
