At the start of the transfer window EFC shot out the gates and purchased players at will knowing full well that they were going to recuperate the money from Lukaku sale - no haggling just paying what clubs wanted.
Now it seems players are still wanted but the haggling has started which would suggest to me that yes there is money to spend but not what some fans believe there is - I would hate to imagine if Lukaku didn't want to go - who would we actually have bought!
To be honest from the couple of preseason games I have seen I see no real progress:
We bought a keeper from a relegated club - klassen is too light weight for the premier league - we bought some player who cannot get a work permit - keane is the same as stones - ramirez is the only bright spot but saying that we were not his first choice club - a player on a free whose club seen nothing in him and finally Rooney who is here purely for marketing purposes.
Compare this to other top 6 clubs who are finally spending and they are buying quality players at top prices - something we need to learn from.

Mr negative.

Your a ray of sunshine this morning aren't you Intel, I for one am looking forward to this season and looking at the transfers we've gotten in so far I think we are stronger Pickford future England number1 great shot stopper and amazing distribution, Klassen needs time to find his feet but what he lacks in being lightweight he will make up for with technique, Sandro nothing much to say think he shows it on the pitch, have to agree with Martina why? And Rooney yes we will sell shirts and build our profile up having him which isn't a bad thing but he has something to prove to a lot of people including himself and I'm glad he's doing it at Everton.3 more players to fit into RK's plans and we will have a strong squad to cope with 3 trophies and the league.

Blimey give your head a wobble what an absolute load of tripe words fail me, GuernseyBlue.
02 Aug 2017 13:28:41
First point to note is we are not top 6, also Spurs have spent nothing.
What Klassen have you been watching, must be a different one than me as he looked lively last week, give the lad a chance will ye
I was going to type more info about the players we have bought but can't be arsed wasting my time on you, you need to change your name too as clearly have no Intel whatsoever, everyone is allowed to put their point forward but yours is just negative drivel, I will pass your future posts by from now on as waste of my energy.
02 Aug 2017 13:30:25
. well as long as your happy intel.

ha ha just read your previous posts, you need Prozac mate, you have one stating "not convinced about this new stadium lark" then there's another "not convinced with RK", are you a Blue or Koppite just trying to cause trouble.

Give your head a wobble lad. Don't even know where to start here.
Firstly, half of the players have only played one full game (everyone gets a run out in friendlies) .
Secondly, you can't really comment on how good players are until they have settled in. Give them a chance! And as regards signings arguably our best player last season was signed from a relegated team.
As regards money, the eds are right, don't worry about it. At the end of the day Everton are a business. even to a rich football club £5m is a lot of money. If you were the chairman then we would go the way of Leeds Utd throwing the odd £5m away willy nilly. Put it this way, if you went to a market on holiday and you had £100, saw a watch in a market for £50, but you knew you could get it for £45 wouldn't you haggle a bit? The same principles apply here but on a far larger scale.

Everton have made strides but the teams above us have made bigger ones. What happens in the next 3 weeks of window will determine our season. Pace out wide and a top class striker are most important.

Very little intel in your post Intel.
02 Aug 2017 14:28:40
Intel your post just disrespects RK, SW AND MOSHIRI as if they don't know what they are doing.
02 Aug 2017 17:07:59
Bloody hell Intel, Mr positive or what. If you want you can borrow my noose that I was about to use during the Martinez era. Futures bright lad.
02 Aug 2017 17:41:35
Love the "noose" remark-really made me chuckle but then I tend to be a half full type. I think he needs more than Prozac! You just can't please some folk!
02 Aug 2017 18:17:11
He forgot to mention the new stadium 😂😂and I thought I was negative.

The reason we bought players eat is because they had a release clause, we met them and got the player, gilfi at one point was valued at 25 million, then Swansea changed it to 50 million to ward suitors off, this is why we are haggling, as for the rest of the rubbish you have written INTEL you obviously no nothing about football, I mean wear did half the Chelsea players come from, other leagues and seem to be doing very well, we have klaasson who scored 20 goals from midfield seem pretty good to me, kean is a fantastic young defender, pickford england number one, and it goes on, if you have nothing better to do but be negative go support the other side.
