Just a few (hopefully) quick points: I think your/some fans' expectations are slightly high. We have a number of things working against us - no european football, jan window inflation, team morale - to buy replacements for Gana and Bolasie. Whether we like it or not the vast majority of players (Oviedo, Kone notwithstanding) come to Everton with the expectation of regular first team football. We aren't good enough and we don't pay them enough for them to be happy on the bench. Any plan to buy Gana replacement means Gana/Barry sit upon Gana's return. Likewise any plan to buy Bolasie replacement means Bolasie/Mirallas sit upon return. Surely Deulofeu is already frustrated and Mirallas is a tempermental little bugger. My point being this club cannot, IMO, buy replacements for those players who will be missing for the same amount of time as if they pulled a hamstring. That being said there is still a clear need for a 2nd striker. This is of utmost importance, especially with Rom's continued threats to leave. Need to be prepared for that. Love, hate or tolerate, Rom is the most important player on the team. We are dreadful without him. 2nd striker absolutely critical. The other big one for me is GK. Joel is a joke and though Stekelenberg has played well i would like to see a quality keeper in his 20's arrive. Lastly, sort of reverting back to the Gana point, i would like to see us sell McCarthy and find a long term replacement for Barry. Barry and the new lad can play during ACON and Barry can fill in when needed February-May. In summary: Buy ST, GK, CM Sell McCarthy Kone Niasse Joel

Way way behind on asking this but going to anyways...as an American completely unfamiliar with the city, is the appeal of the docks strictly its waterfront or are there other advantages when compared with other sites that have been mentioned?

Fantastic gesture. Great result. COYB Quick side note: In my 10 years of watching the premier league i have never seen a performance from a central defender like Djilobodji. His performance was so awful it really cannot be described properly.

Changes since Feb 27 2016. Legitimate owner Replaced RM with RK Hired DoF Replaced stones, howard, osman, pienaar and hibbert with Williams, Stek, Gueye and Bolasie and 2.4mill in the bank Kept Rom More stadium progress than previous 10 yrs Sissoko chose champs league team (thankfully), Lucas perez chose champs league team, witsel chose european comp. Kone, Gabbiadini, Carvalho, Brahimi all kept by current team. Gabbiadini for 30m vs. Valencia on loan seems like a wash to me. Valencia has at least played in the league and had some success. He's better than kone and we dont have to buy. Thats why its called an option. This whole argument about deadline day. Leicester, Chelsea and Stoke were only teams to make significant signings. We should be happy that we dont consider Robson-Kanu, Mbokani, Arbeloa, Hendrick, Ndong, and some ManU u-23s as great signings. Mid-April was my lowest point as an Evertonian. We are miles, MILES, ahead of where we were just 4-5 months ago. RM fucked us so badly there is only so much that can be done in each window. Top 10 by january within striking distance and RK/Walsh/Moshiri will sign more players and push on for european football. To me that is being realistic.

Haha i understand that. If they are confirmed ill be posting an expletive laced tirade.

Completely agree. However Valencia for 14.5 and sissoko for 30 would undo all the early greatness. Rather do nothing but watch niasse and mcgeady leave.

West Brom 0 - 1 Everton Gerry

I'm always glass half full but this realization got me a bit upset this morning. When we kick off against Liverpool in December it will be more than 6 years since our last derby win in any competition. 6 f***ing years.

The lack of transfers sucks at face value but when you think about it it's not that bad. Clearly the plan was to get Walsh on board. Not going to make transfers before then so throw out mid-May to July 21. I'm sure everyone wishes it didn't drag until July 21 to get Walsh in but it did so let's move on. Realistically that has left us without making a transfer for 6 days. Our transfer window started July 21, period. Koeman and Walsh spending some time getting on the same page. The new regime has been absolutely brilliant so far. Absolutely brilliant. If it takes until deadline day so be it. We should be able to beat WBA and Stoke with the current squad, Spurs is a coin flip. We are light-years ahead of where we were in April.

Or not. Be patient all, good things are coming. IN: Stekelenberg OUT: Howard, Osman, Pienaar, Hibbert KIDS: Sambou, Renshaw, Hilton, Baxter EXTENSIONS: Gibson Dowell

Look at the player Deeney made out of Ighalo. He's limited but he unlocks the door for others.
