Sorry, but neither Delap or G Jesus from Arsenal fill me with excitement about the direction of our forward line for next season. What say my fellow Evertonians. ?

If we got Jesus we would have to change from our hoofball tactic, so I can't see that happening. As for Delap, the fact he chose Chelsea over us I wouldn't hold against him, to be fair so would have I. However he would suit our tactic of launching it forward, and hoping for a knock down.
Now, I am not saying we should go for either, because until we change our tactic, it is pointless wasting any money on a forward. It's this that needs to change.
We had the choice to go for the pace of George or the fouled king Grealish on the left, and the pace of Ndiaye or Bowen if we could get him on the right.
But, to get the best out of any of this combination, then you have to bin hoofball.
In midfield, if we get Hackney along with KDH, Armstrong and Garner, you have players who like to play with the ball on the ground, and have the ability to create chances.
Get two overlapping fullbacks, and you have the nucleus for a very good side.
But we have to change our tactic first.

We will never change our tactics with Moyes in charge. I keep hoping every game, but the players he uses, the late substitutions, and, more importantly, the ones he ignores, just show how set in his ways he is.
