After a promising start to the transfer window with two very good signings, Thelwell and Co. seem to have reverted to type.
Despite being linked for some considerable time with Jason Philogene, who would have proved an exciting addition offering both pace and skill with the right age profile, It transpires despite rumours to the contrary that as of lunchtime today we haven't made an offer for the player, Why?
I appreciate that there is a lot of speculation and false rumours circulated in the media but when an opportunity to sign a prospect of the right age and with the skill set you cannot afford to turn up the opportunity.
What we don't want or need is being linked with second rate players like Che Adams and Sanchez.

Can't control who the media link us too. Try not to to get caught up in the media hype as most of it is regurgitated rubbish anyway. I can't see us spending much until we sell someone first.

It's not football manager.
There are many moving parts in any transfer and Everton are only one of them.

Jesus this is a bit premature! It's only the 10th July with a month to go to the start of the season and a couple more weeks on top of that to the end of the window. Ignore the media and relax. We're showing already good intent in the market.
The guy from Hull I would probably give a wide birth. His agent sounds like a complete lemon and totally disruptive. He'd have his head turned every 12 months reaping the rewards of regular moves. There's plenty of other good players with hopefully, better agents.
Loads of time so sit back, have a brew and a biscuit, and see how things go. Loads to be looking forward to in this next 12 months.

Cant remember the club coming out and saying they have decided Jason Philogene is a target and we have made a bid? So how do we know all the media speculation not just a load of bull.

I don't believe that Che Adams is "a second rate player" by any means.
He's never going to work for us or indeed any other club as a lone striker, it's just not his game. If he plays alongside an atypical striker, his role is to be a menace, make distracting runs and create space. He's effective at what he does.
He's by no means the best you can get, probably not good enough for where we want to be, but you're doing him a disservice by ridiculing him like that.
