Overall takes from today.
#1 In Moyes we trust
#2 We still need a RB and CF
#3 If Brainthwaite gets fits and plays majority of games this season we will be in Europe
Eds and fellow blues - over to your thoughts?
{Ed025's Note - very happy with the way things are going PHH, there is room for improvement of course but i am starting to enjoy watching us ...and not from behind the couch mate.. :)

Ur ahead of me! Once it went back to 3-2 I strolled away from TV as I couldn’t bear to watch as I feared same old capitulation from Everton as past few years but to Moyes’ credit we held firm and got a great away 3 points from a team desperate to get a point.
{Ed025's Note - same PHH, you would think i was 7 not 67 mate.. :)

Might actually start daring to dream, pighead. Our squad, seemingly out of nowhere has gone from a bunch of wasters, misfits and cowards under Dyche to a genuinely exciting and competent team. The boost of the new owners, new era, new stadium and the addition of a (dare it be said) potentially world class marauder like Grealish has brought us out of the gloom and into the dazzling lights of a bright future. Moyes, the players, the fans. I genuinely think we've all got our mojo back and are on the precipice of something special now. I'm sure all my cynicism will be back tomorrow, but for now, I'm loving being a blue again.

Only negative is if he carries on at this rate we will not be able to buy him.

We will
50 million first option
But we won’t pay that . Jack has found his home and will insist he stays a Blue FOREVER
NSNO.

I actually think we can cope without another striker, more interested in a RB and cover for Guaye.
{Ed025's Note - im a greedy sod JB, i want all 3 mate.. :)

It wouldn’t surprise me, Ed, think they’ll be doing everything they can behind the scenes, and Chermiti going would add to the coffers.
{Ed025's Note - im happy with whats been achieved up to now JB and anything else is a bonus, i think we all knew it would take a few windows to rebuild mate but its been a great start imo..

The buy out was 23m according to Boyle. Which makes more sense for the last year of his contract next year.
It's still a lot of money for a player his age but I'd pay it now!
