Burnley look to have done some good business. I'd have been all over Conor Roberts as RB for 2.5m

We've got 3 keepers though so we'll be fine

We've Delph to come in when called upon...

What a mess our squad is in - looking a real possibility (unless Rondon signs) that we will have 1 recognised ST, 1 recognised RB, 1 recognised LB and a CM of Allan, Doucoure, Davies, Gbamin and Delph. Christ Delph could be our backup LB option!!?!?!!

Yes, fully agree. I was not in the sign Rafa camp bit to be fair I'm starting to think he is absolutely the person we need at the moment. I know it's only 3 games in....but seriously, I have some positivity coming back.

Phew....Got over the line there and gave some good minutes to replacements - not a bad outcome!

I think we will be resorting to loans in and out of the club now for this window. Probably some good options out there for us to get in - I don't know who but sure they are out there. I can see Gordon, Braithwaite, Delph going out, possibly even James. Sadly think Moise will be looking glum come 1st Sept and he is still with us.

Apparently so - couple of million I've heard. Not sure I get it - he looked OK when he's stepped in for us and is a good age to keep for a bit yet.

FFS!

This transfer sounds interesting - although he didn't play that much for Lisbon so can't get carried away yet. A lot of players seem to do well in the Prem from Lisbon

I dont expect Koulibaly to wear our shirt - I think if it was true that Carlo wanted him last season then the board /brands probably said ok you need a new CB - try looking at Godfrey instead. If Rafa wants another CB/Koulibaly the board will probably do the same. Be interesting to know how the board/DoF/manager go about their transfer plans - does the manager say he wants player 1, 2 and 3 for example. Argue his case why that player and why that position and then the board/DoF say 'ok, you convinced us you need a winger or full back, but we are not going for Player 1 or Player 2 - take a look at Player A, Player B that our scouts have on their books'?

Don't want him, don't think he'll last 18 mths but if he does become our manager then he will get my support

Yep, indifferent if he stays or goes in my eyes. Same with Kean.

Joey Barton would be ahead of him in the list for me

Perfect type for us

Happy either way with Richy to be honest - he did naff all this season except moan. If a bid of 60m+ came in I'd take it

The more I search for managers available and with recent experience its Christopher Galtier who appeals, followed by Ralph Ragnick

Although maybe that's what we need - players to sign for Everton because it's Everton, not who the manager is. Our recent history has shown that we get better performances from players who have either been lower in the league than us or have been bombed out by other teams. Moyes was good in this department (I'm not for reappointment Moyes though - that ship has sailed). We need players who will play for the club to improve them too

He needs to stay amongst the backroom team for some stability. He might not be Ast. though- depending on the new manager coming in

So true, my thoughts in a nutshell too

Needs money & good team - not a grower

Disappointment for me...hes talked a lot of shit in his time with us looking back

Ragnick, Flores, Benitez, Bilic, Favre... All random meaning it could be anyone

Sadly think it's happening...this guy is not often wrong. Quick for Carlo to bolt if true - we either have major issues he can't sort, hands tied or there is imply no money for transfers (not quick fix ones maybe)
