What a Difference a Day Makes

Jeez, what a difference a day makes.
Over the weekend, and a fair old time previously to that, there's been nothing but doom and gloom over a certain "possible" ground move.
Then... just like the sun coming out from behind those storm clouds. angels voices singing away... Everton buying six ...yes six!!! Perm any one, two, three or NONE from the following list depending on how good you feel with regard to the "other" issue:
Moutinho, Fernandes, Topal, M'Bia, Johnson, Bent (Darren I hope, not Marcus again)....
Ahhhh what bliss it is to be an Evertonian.....I must have been a bad bastard in a previous life to deserve all this!

Also seems strange for Wyness to "leak" something which is not "the Everton way" according to previous statements.
Full marks for you too Peter, very amusing!
Brian, it’s just that I’ve seen it all before (and no doubt you have). It’s the classic case of - ’let’s dampen down the fire’. No doubt there will be alot of ’anger’ once the decision is announced today. That will be negated by talk of transfers etc. If we sign six new players then great, but I’m not holding my breath!
I’m crapping myself over DK I’ve gotta admit, it’s a shite move to a (no offense) shit little town when we should be exploring the revenue streams of ’The City of Culture’ while at the same time keeping our backbone of suport and our history.
EFC is a big city club NOT a small town club
We?ve complained about the lack of noise coming from the club and in particular our manager and then the minute he does tell us what we want to hear we dismiss it as a publicity stunt. Moyes doesn?t bullshit... Bully and bill maybe but not Moyes.
??we need to be quite busy and we can be in the coming weeks. But we will look to go right up to the end of the window like everybody else??
So, as the man himself just said, we need new faces but this window is as tough for us as it is everybody else.
Obviously, like everyone else on here my only concern is Everton but it?d be ridiculous to think we exist in a vacuum and that the sluggishness of the current transfer market should affect everyone else but us.
There haven?t been that many moves elsewhere and even though, say, Spurs have been active in recruiting they also look likely to lose two very good players in Berbatov and Keane.
As for the timing of the quotes coming from DM & KW you could be cynical and say there?s a certain amount of news management taking place within the Goodison walls but then all big companies indulge in the same practices.
However, even the cynics must know the window closes in under 6 weeks time.
And as I?ve said before it?s better to get the right ones in late than the wrong ones in early.
I say this because if you believe one train of thought that cash has been earmarked for Kirkby already, then it may follow that if that cash is no longer required then it makes it available elsewhere. If it?s NOT called in then surely more and more cash is needed which won?t come from investment within days of hearing a result on the move, that?s taking it that the move will indeed attract more investment.
I have to say I?m not a believer in the move decision not having a bearing on transfer funds; course it must.....
Your lack of an argument or common sense on the thread on Monday is surpassed tonight by your suggestion of buying that mouth watering duo from the Toon. FFS sake Tony what planet are you living on? Owen is a crock on a crock of gold, Smith is just a crock of shit
I see the smoke and mirrors team at Goodison are at it again, and some of you just suck it up
After reading his rants that made no sense on a previous thread last night. I really thought Tony was beyond irony, please tell me you were being ironic it would at least convince me you were capable of some sentinent thoughts
Thanks for not getting too personal Ed.........Here’s a heads up Ed, that was sarcasm.
You truly are the prince of wit and badinage, your cutting asides reduce me to a literary wreck and I quiver with fear at being the subject of other scathing pieces of insight.
Of course last night Tony you were just talking a load of old shit. I apologise for not realising you had the capacity to be ironic but after reading some your recent posts I did find it inconceivable.
Yes I was probably talking shite, I don’t take myself or the internet seriously enough to get into deep an meaningful conversations like, I won’t go to Kirkby even though I been a season ticket holder for 10 years, however, it was probably deemed more shite by those who disagreed with what I was saying. Some didn’t, one even agreed with me whole heartedly and others said the same as me but in a less shitty way. Even an ardent No voter, said I had half a point
It’s good to know you base you opinions of someone on one thread alone, even though I have been on here for several months.
I'm off for my holidays and still no new players. But hey I still sense we're going to have a smashing season this time around, hopefully pushing hard again for a top four place and a cup run to a final of somekind, I feel this season is so important for Everton to really consolidate the hard work of the previous two years and press on to bigger and better things. I feel if we don't, we will be left behind for many a year in mid table or worse.
Yes we need to strengthen in the areas we all know about, and sort the ground move out one way or another. Hope I'm pleasantly surprised when I return from my holidays and watch some of the new signings v PSV.
Be positive fellow blues, I can feel it in bones were going to do very well in the new season, please don't ask me why I feel this way, I just do. Don't we usually do good when we have had a poor pre-season? See and hear from you all in the new campaign.
