@al_greenway@Ianc1878@irish_toffee87 Excellent deflection tactic. You slagged DCL off like every other Everton fan but took the moral high ground after he scored 1 goal for Leeds ๐คฃ
@TFinnAgain@itsjack1878@jcotteri Yes if we offered 130 and heโs after 160 we may not value the asset at that cost. Iโm not saying it was the right decision btw, he was the best striker weโve had at the club for years.
๐จ To leave us with no back up full backs and just one striker is full on gross negligence, not forgetting we also lost one of our best players at an under valued price in todayโs market in the process without replacing him too. As a group we will still be standing down for the foreseeable future and will not be dedicating a huge amount of our own time to put together the displays that we do that try and generate the best pre match atmosphere possible [@The1878s]
At the very least, Everton owe their frustrated fans some form of explanation for that chaotic, embarrassing and deeply disappointing transfer window. Yes, Jackโs back and Maitland-Niles is in (and earlier Hackney+). But The Friedkin Group, the clubโs CEO Angus Kinnear and the recruitment committee owe it to fans - the lifeblood of the club - to justify/clarify/apologise for a situation which saw Balogun not sign, a star like Ndiaye leave, Beto go, Armstrong almost sold, and failed late attempts for Kirkzee, Abraham and Tete (nb also reluctance from their clubs).
Were they hoping for the Armstrong money to get players in? Or was it simply poor organisation, leaving things late? Everton look incredibly short of quality and numbers in attack and at full-back. So much to admire about Everton - manager, fanbase, stadium, academy, players like Pickford, Branthwaite, Garner, Dewsbury-Hall, Armstrong etc. But that was a poorly-handled transfer window and Everton fans have every right to be frustrated. #EFC
