Great performance considering the players out Gray proving to be bargain of the season and how good is Doucoure now the shackles have been removed 

Certainly makes you appreciate DCL

Is there anything about Everton that you like? 
You only ever post about things that you don’t like. Just curious. 
 

Even miserable bastards like Palfy see a silver lining sometimes.

There's not much to like at the moment that goes for Everton and football in general. Just don't get how we can't spend anything because of financial fair play but others seem to be able to spend whatever ever they want

Nope.

You don't think maybe it has to do with Walsh's abhorrent signings that we're in this mess? Klaassen, Bolasie, Schneiderlin, Tosun, Walcott. So much money spent on utter dross, has put us in the financial shit-house that we're in.

We're reaping what we sowed from the Walsh era. Brands has brought us Digne, Richarlison, Godfrey, Doucoure, Allan, Mina, and gave us one memorable season with James.

He knows what he's doing, I just fear that his relationship with Rafa might sour, as Rafa loves to have more control.

Very easy to blame Walsh but Brands has had 3 years now and we are no better than we were under Walsh and now have such a ridiculously small squad that couple of injuries and we are done. 

Brands has fucked this club with poor signings left us with one of the smallest squads in the prem couple of injuries and we are screwed need him gone

Absolute Garbage may aswell give Sims a go

Gray. Some player he is.

Thought Mina was the pick of the defenders. Begovic couldn’t really do a lot with the goals conceded.

Shame but we move on. Highlights what we all know about our squad depth.

No way would Pickford have let in their 3rd it was straight at him he would have done better with the corner aswell 

Let's not have any panic buys like Iwobi 

This one looks dead

It’s a joke. 

I know just not a very funny one

Hes 43

Biggest diver in football 

I would take 85 mil he was shit last season, I was hoping Benitez would get him back to the player he was the season before but that's a lot of money but we have to spend it and not on panic buys so keep it out off Brands hands

He knew what he was getting into. 

Probably expected us to make signings 

I didn't want Rafa but I kinda feel a bit sorry for him. Shit squad no worthwhile signings really being thrown under the bus

Not sure I've ever been so pessimistic about a season has this coming one mid table at best. Brands is the biggest waste of a wage at the club

Hes shit

Looking more and more likely we ain't gonna make major signings so let's hope Benitez is good at polishing turds

Anderson and branthwaite do you remember him ?

Anderson did we sign someone without anyone knowing. Zouma is better than all bar Godfrey 

If West ham get him for the quoted 20mil and we don't try I will be pissed 

Only links I can find say hes about to join West ham not a mention of us

Negotiating doesn’t have a ton to do with how a player goes on to perform. If we coulda gotten Richarlison for 30m and ended up paying far more it’s not that relevant that he’s worth more than that higher number in terms of the negotiation. Player evaluation is a different thing. 

Iwobi was a total panic buy after missing other targets massively overpaid that's down to Brands

Pinch of salt here mate - Brands has shown he is a top top negotiator and I’m sure he won’t be letting Mino take us for a ride here.

How much did he pay for Iwobi top negotiating there

You read Matts post and that was your conclusion? Weird. 

What's weird about it 

We've gone nowhere since Brands came in. Director of football is a waste of money just let the manager choose the players.
