Honest to God, yesterday was Everton in its purest form. Nothing went right. Nothing even pretended to go right. Jack, Niles and Balogun stroll in and the club acts like that’s a full day’s graft. Behave. We had room to do more, but apparently everyone clocked off at dinner.
Then the striker saga, we looked like we were trying to sign someone off Gumtree. Medical drama, renegotiation, it was like watching your mate try to haggle for a PS5 off a fella in a car park. And mid chaos, we suddenly go, “Tell you what, let’s get Zirkzee.” Out of nowhere. Like a drunk impulse buy. Absolute Everton.
The right back scenario was a mess and not sure how it ended up being Niles, the guy who doesn’t want to be a right back by the way. Left back? Let one go with no cover. As for the transfer committee? Might as well be three fellas in the pub with a beermat. And Kinnear? Commercially he’s good, but football wise he’s an absolute fraud. His communication? Horrendous. He’s out there doing interviews with Toffee TV and the socials but clearly lying through his teeth and his manager straight up called him out on it.
Then the Armstrong fiasco. Any normal club goes, “No ta.” But us? No, we turn it into a full Netflix documentary. Fans intervening, plastered all over the internet, transfer committee apparently on a lunch break. What’s the point of having one if they’re just sat there like spare parts?
He needs to go. Simple. We’re basically a baby club again with a new stadium, new era, fresh start, we need someone who can actually steer the ship instead of driving it straight into the walls of the River Mersey with a grin.
Right now, we’re a mess. A full, vintage Everton mess. One striker to get us through the season. Johnson, George and Graham as cover. Graham who looks about three years away from being ready will have the weight of first team pressure on him. Garner and Rohl covering fullbacks, it’s all risk, no planning.
But here we are. Nothing we can do now. We just have to back Barry because he’s literally our only hope. If he gets injured, I swear we’ll be holding open trials in Stanley Park knowing this idiot.
Everton being Everton. Jesus wept.

Kinnear's interview was a marketing report.

I'm with you, Blue John. Anyone that's responsible for recruitment has to be held accountable for this disaster. Yes, we've strengthened in quality in areas, but these were all players on our radar already or whoever was available at the last minute. The scatter gun striker approach is a genuine embarrassment.

It's like the recruitment team all went on holiday for most of the transfer window, then got a call on deadline day asking where all these signings are!

Have we a recruitment team, all I can see is Kinnear's grubby hands all over this. He f****d Leeds and now all the hard work last season is pointless as we now have less bodies than before. He was supposedly targeting Europe, well that's already a pipe dream.
Barry one good quality is that he runs all over for 60/70 minutes, then he needs replacing.
Wouldn't be surprised that he upset Richy with
his approach, hence the Instagram post.
NIL SATIS NISI OPTIMUM well if that is his best a short walk off Bramley Moor Dock is required.
