We are being linked with Evan Ferguson again sorry but he is not my cup of tea or the answer to our goal scoring woes in my humble opinion.

Definitely a player in there somewhere but has been shocking for a few years still only 21 might of been too much to early people saying he is the nxt harry kane and worth £80 million who knows We can't afford another forward with possible potential.
has he still got something could moyes get the best out of him who knows. its actually a yes from me though if the deal is right.

Funny, a couple of years ago we’d have been delighted with him coming in.
{Ed025's Note - yet another player with potential...like Moise Keane, Barry and Dibling...how about just buying the finished article for once?..

Should've just kept tom cannon same type of player.

Lots of teams looking for the finished article Ed. That’s be great of course. Who would it be?
{Ed025's Note - Vlahovic, Mateta or someone of that calibre JB?, would cost a fair bit i expect but on players like Kean, Barry and Dibling we have spent over £100m and for what...potential?, i have no confidence in our scouting team at all mate and if you want the best im afraid you have to pay the big bucks, sounds a bit crass i know but Nil Satis Nisi Optimum does not mean casting your bait into a river and expecting to come up with a very big fish..

Been a long time since we’ve had a proper number 9, Ed, a game changer. Bring back the Yak!
{Ed025's Note - i know im an auld arse JB but Everton were always known for great centre forwards mate, Dixie, Latchford, Sharpie and even the likes of Big Dunc and Lukaku, its been too long now without one and i feel it would lift the rest of the team if we had one, come on TFG...make my day..

Hiya Ed. From the Liverpool page in peace here. While having the finished article is great and all, it'd be a hard ask to get players like Vlahovic or Mateta to move to Everton. Mateta for example is a starter for CP and they are doing much better than Everton are at. While money may turn his head, I don't think those kind of mercenaries are the ones you'd want to attract to your club.
I'm afraid that young with potential are the kind that you should look at, or even those older ones but have not made the cut at bigger clubs. I'm thinking of players you had in the past like Coleman, Baines, Cahill, Lukaku, Pienaar, etc Everton's current scouting needs to improve greatly though if they are to unearth gems like that again.
{Ed025's Note - in an ideal world i would agree Drac, but for us to move forward we need momentum mate and we are missing so many chances that those providing them must be very frustrated, i believe that we are a good striker away from being a top 8 team and thats when you are in a position to buy for the future, we cant be wasting money on what might be..

I’m with you on that Ed. Buy the finished article, get goals in and head up the table. Would love us to buy Vlahovic or someone like him. Once we are doing well, buy in potential. It’s common sense to me.
We’ve just been buying crap players as the finished article for too long. If we had been in for Chris Wood 3 or 4 seasons back instead of sticking with Dom, I think we’d have been further along our journey back.
{Ed025's Note - i think you are spot on BR..

Well we could have bought Isak for 125m?.
