I know we are all looking for those star quality signings and we are looking for brands/ Silva to unearth these future gems and sell certain players who have underachieved but in reality I don't think that will be the case.
I would prefer to see just what they can do with our current squad.
I believe there are players at our club who have the potential to become part of a great team.
We have all moaned about the managers we have had and their style of play.
We have moaned how players were out of position and that tactics didn't suit their qualities.
We have moaned that certain players were overlooked and wasted yet let's face it we were very optimistic with the signings we made just over a year ago.
I personally would like to see just how good the brands/ Silva team actually are by working with this squad.
Surely a managers skills and attributes are better displayed by turning an underachieving squad into a team that can actually play football?
If brands/ Silva have the qualities and ideas that we need at our club then what better way to prove themselves than by working (for now) with the squad we already have?
We can't become a club that sells 20/ 30m players after 1 season that involved 3 managers, then spend another 100m hoping that we find the formula.
Also this would place less pressure on the management and place more emphasis on the players abilities and attitude.
If by January he needs changes then so be it but at least we Would have a clear indication of the management's intentions/ tactics and also the players attitude towards them.

I'm with you on that Pauly, unless the management team have already identified specific target areas that they want to address then i would not be too distraught if we did not sign any new players.

There's obviously some good players in the squad and some great prospects but to move on and I think to compete with the bigger teams we need to spend. Think they have identified targets and a lot of that seems to be concerning the left side. Without going for this, the squad is really unbalanced imo.

Sa90 I think more new faces puts us in another transition period and if they don't hit the floor running then more pressure is on the players and management.
We have players that have bedded in now, good or bad.
The opportunity is there for us this season to find out for sure if these players can be utilized by a new manager with different tactics and a new way of thinking.
I just think we need patience rather than ask moshiri to splash the cash again.
You don't keep throwing money at a problem. You find a solution.
I understand every Evertonian wants to see repeated investment and big star names but you have to build a steady foundation before you add the luxuries.
Silva and brands have been employed to do just that. Let's see how they go before the cash is splashed.
If the same thing as last summer was to happen again we Would have an inflated squad and the pressure on the new signings would be unbearable.
Let's face it 2 bad displays and the crowd will turn on them.
Give the management and board time to see the current squad in competitive action before big money is spent.
We need stability and support for our club and us fans need patience and understanding.

Not recruiting is a mistake. It is simple. If you stay static while everyone else around you improves then you fall behind. We need to address certain key areas and no manager in the world no matter how good they are can turn back the clock on baines and jags careers. As for that williams last year was awful at the best of times. We need to strengthen our defense before we do anything.

Blue ray I'm not saying no investment. I'm saying don't splash the cash all over the team.
Minimal investment on key areas is needed unless there's something better at the club.
Jags Baines and Williams yes I agree needs to be strengthened but don't be disappointed if they're not big names or big money signings.
