The Mail Bag

Can we stop the shed falling in?

Even before today, I was really concerned about our squad ? especially when I heard David Moyes quoted that he didn't foresee many if any players coming in the January window and followed that by denying that we were pursuing Fernandes or anybody else. We all have seen that we are light in central midfield and have had over a week to line up reinforcements for the injured Osman, Cahill, (VDM) and suspended Arteta and the now confirmed departure of Pienaar before Tuesday.

I hope I am wrong but I dont feel the same sense of urgency coming from Moyes or the club and as Moyes seems to be very passive about it wonder if he has been told there is nothing in the kitty. Does anyone else have the same feeling?

I don’t get that feeling mate at all.

He has said he is actively looking to improve the squad. I wouldn’t worry too much about it.

Moyes is always coy about potential signings as is every other manager, they cant go spouting off about how they are bidding or who they want because it shows a lack of respect to the other clubs, only Real Madrid and Barcelona go round saying who they are going to take next!

If today doesn?t increase the sense of urgency about getting somebody new in (and maybe shipping one or two out), I don?t know what will.

I?m with you Rob.
I just hope we get somebody or bodies preferrably before Tues. otherwise we?? be down to 2 competitions (League and UEFA).
I am confused however about the reports about Fernades.
Spain seems to have announced he is returning to EFC but Moyes yesterday afternoon denied any contact with Fernandes at all and said he was shocked at any suggested link.Now I know he?s coy and a scot but his face was absolutely deadpan.

Jay, the only Kitty Everton have is one of debt, we have no money mate.
Manny on loan and Vogel on a free is the best we can hope for.
