Year after year, we're being linked with top-class players. Moutinho, Cana, Reyes, Huddlestone, Owen. And all the other players I didn't mention. But none of them seem to go through. Last year it seems Moyes bought Fellaini just to please the fans who would've caused an upset if no expensive transfers went through. Quality player, but still.
This year, although early in the silly season, seems to be another letdown. We're being linked with all these great players, and none of them seem to go through. Latest is that Doyle signed for Wolverhampton. Lars Jacobsen now joined Blackburn. And I think he did a good job last year in the few games he played. Now we need another player covering (and maybe better, even regular) for Hibbert. Kyle Naughton being snapped up by Villa (eventually), and Gudjohnsen not signing. Is there no truth in these rumours whatsoever? And why don't people want to join Everton over other lesser clubs? I know football is all about money these days... and I know it's early summer still, so please bear with me, but still...
Get the hopes up with quality links, then water it down with players not signing, or signing elsewhere. And even lesser players than we're linked with. That makes Toffee-fans not happy. But I guess that is life? I do not like media.
So, are we in for another summer of transfer dissappointments?
