Kenwright: Two player enquiries made

Spitting eh? Well, if Felli stays – hope not – they will be a great team, spitting, head-butting, elbowing.

I would be more concerned about his injury record these last two seasons.

We will not get Honda.

So transparent it's brilliant. I can't fault the man, he's an old pro alright.

In:– Fer, Ofoe, Honda, Bony, Wanyama

Out:– Naismith, Heitinga, Fellanii (as he wants to leave – that's the only reason)

Are people sure that can not be interpreted as, "pending enquiries about two of our players"?

That's what I originally thought when saw the headline.

Everton, the team time forgot....

I think Jenny is getting his meds mixed up a little. He's raving!!!

He talks to Martinez once or twice every day.

Mourinho has got Schurrle; we're going for... Alcaraz? Nice one.

Fuck me, there are some grim days awaiting us.

Thanks, Bill.

The only way we will make progress this year and next is to add quality to the squad – real quality, if we can – and that will mean selling Felli, I feel.

We will be better without him if, IF, Teary Billy hands the sponds the the gaffer. Three/four quality signings and Felli out and we will be better.

On top of this – and I've said this until I'm blue in the face – he is a costly risky liability: temper-tantrums, elbows, Kirkby-kissing.

And, please Lord, no more silly wigs.

Please buy players with boss hair, Bobby!

Funny that, I thought we'd finished 4th, 5th, 5th in 3 seasons out of 4, in the last few years. How is 7th, 6th an improvement?

Junior, Barkley, Duffy and McAleny are all talented and should be given some sort of chance, Maybe a fresh start for Gueye as well.

Still not that sure on Vellios though. Gueye for that matter as well.

But I think we need more than 2 or 3, more like 4 or 5. We need more depth.

We need to move onwards and upwards and we will have a better chance of that, I truly believe, if we cash in on Fellaini + some TV sponds and get in four (five?) very good signings.

That all hinges on Teary Billy and Bobby getting it right and that is where I think your point becomes more important.

And unless these are already half-completed, by the time they're gone and are holding shirts of other teams, we will miss our so-called targets and end up with the scraps. Maybe a couple of Stoke rejects or Arsenal bench warmers or a Man Utd prospect (risk) – Moyes thinking he's doing us a favour.

Bill's playing Mr Nice Guy, giving false hope. This man should have gone into politics, he's that good. Honda = No; Fer = No; Quality 20+ goal striker? Not a prayer....

Sorry if I'm sending negative waves out but I just don't believe anything till I see them holding shirts on SSN. Fer last year pictured on a jet smiling saying how great it will be playing in the EPL says it all. Mo Sissoko joining the Dark Side.... even the Manuel Fernandes fiasco peed me off. Nothing goes to plan with this club.

BREAKING NEWS ; PREMIER LEAGUE CLUB ENQUIRES ABOUT TWO PLAYERS!!!

The whole football world in in the middle of the same process FFS!

Along with the announcement we've found an empty patch of grass, it's cringeworthy.

Players such as Fer, Bony, Vossen, Moses, Benteke and Negredo are the kind of players that we should be trying to recruit... What happened to the money from the Fer deal? Never existed, I bet... more bullshit from Billy Bullshit.

Liverpool it seems have been busy - but most of the Premier League clubs have yet to make major moves in the transfer market. I would think there is no need to hit the panic button just yet!! But in true TW fashion a lot of Evertonians seem to be doing just that.

Martinez has hardly got his foot in the door so lets give the guy a chance and be a bit more patient. I recall the close season of 1981 with a new manager in Howard Kendall - the magnificent 7 signings ? Some of them proved to be so - but some didn't. Who knows perhaps Roberto may give some of our young players a chance and at last we see the likes of Barkley and Velios given a decent run in the team or at least a place on the bench.

Agree with the above points, we need numbers but they have to be first team grade. We can't afford to have players that are not capable of fitting into our "unique" new system. 2/3 is fine now but 5/6 has to be the target for August 31st.

However knowing Kenwright this is utter bullshit! I could ring up a club and "make enquiries" that doesn't mean I'm going to buy someone!!!

Why would you get so stressed about who the RS are signing. You've never seen these players play and neither have they. Who cares that they have made early moves? This kind of obsession is is exactly why they rub it in your face.

Martinez hasn't spent a single minute on the training ground with his players. I think we can afford him that luxury before we hit the panic button.

We shall see........

Phil, I may be obsessed but only with Everton. Neither do I, personally, get stressed with what the shite do. I am in exile in Wales and can usually dismiss most of the RS wools with a few well chosen words or facts. (like, have they ever BEEN to Anfield?..er.."No, can't get a ticket" etc.) I am merely proffering a reason why we can, collectively, get pissed off with the dire performance of our club whenever transfer windows open. Can I assume that you are perfectly happy with the way that Bill Of The Board conducts our transfer activity, or lack of?
I've re-read my comments. I can't see where I've hit a panic button. In fact I mention that people aren't hitting any button, panic, front door, or NURSE! type button.

You have to laugh or you would be sick.

Enquiries for 2 players. Is he real. Most clubs have probably made enquiries about at least 20 players out of which they would hope to land 2or 3.

We have found a suitable site but funding may be an issue.

Meanwhile Goodison is screaming for some maintenance.

That's not a personal opinion — it's a fact, as Nike have made the kit out of recycled plastic bottles.

You said it wouldn't be too bad if West Ham were making early moves, but Liverpool's transfer activity is so 'In yer face.'

My point was that it shouldn't matter to you.

Of course I'm not happy with BK. He's an incompetent, devious, liar and must be removed ASAP. However this transfer window, as yet, has been absolutely fine. In 3-4 weeks time if we have not made a signing then we can start throwing our toys out of the pram.

Not so much their transfer activity, I could take that if I were confident that we'd be doing the same and be bringing players in. No, it's the fact that we all know that Bungling Bill will either wait until the last minute before we might buy someone, or make an embarrassing offer and trot out a "bad knee" excuse when we DON'T buy.

I don't see West Ham as our rivals, I see Spurs, Arsenal, the Shite, even Chelsea as our rivals. We may be in the gutter, but were looking at the stars... to paraphrase Oscar!

I just hope that Bill proves me and other doubters wrong and spends some proper money without selling our assets first, but let's be honest, it would be unusual if he did.

I'm struggling to see what you wanted us to do. Would you rather Martinez spent 10million on players before he's taken a single training session?

Surely the best thing to do is to analyse the squad before getting out our cheque book.

I doubt he has interrupted Fellaini's holiday either, and a big wad of our cash lies in his decision to stay or go.

I appreciate your frustration, but there really is no difference if we sign players now or in 3 weeks.

I'm a grumpy bastard too so you don't have anything to worry about.

Right-back, centre-back, centre-mid and a striker is where RM needs to look, but if there not any better than the players we have then we can kiss finishing above the scum goodbye.

And no FM rubbish either!

New site located????? My arse.

Duffy and Velios.

Time to give the kids a chance before we splash cash on players of very average quality.

I realize Alcaraz and Kone are "better" players, but I'd like to see the younger guys - especially Duffy and Barkley - get a real opportunity this upcoming season.

Steven Astley, I fear you may be straying into FM territory. Every one of the players you listed will cost upwards of £10million and command large salaries. If they became available I fear we would be easily outbid.

Break the bank on Negredo, proven international quality in the goals business.

Anything else is just rearranging deckchairs on the Titanic.

We can't afford to buy a load of squad players but if we go long, have an injury free year and trust in the youth a little more to fill in rather than get a load of Nevilles and Scharners then maybe, just maybe we can finish seve...... I mean, finish in the CL places.

" Roberto has a passion for youth.", says Bill.

I was hopeful but now I'm not too sure. Other Clubs are strengthening like there's no tomorrow but " Martinez is showing no concern."
He must know something we don't.

Not good

It's one thing not spending on a par with the likes of Spurs etc but to not even be able to spend like the teams who have just come up is embarrassing.

West Ham, but on the back of the new stadium. I can't see them having the ready cash right now to spend big. I can't see Carroll getting twenty goals next season either.

Sunderland are having a clear out and are planning to bring guys in but that's Di Canio being a maniac and putting his heavy handed stamp on things as a new manager. I can't see them shooting up the table next season.

Southampton are looking to spend but it's not megabucks and yes, they're raising their quality they're hardly bringing in world beaters.

Villa are bringing in players but they spent nothing last year and had a clear out. They will probably recoup a lot of what they spend this summer by selling Bent.

Liverpool are mainly spending the Carroll money. Their net spend is in or around 6m and they're hardly buying top notch quality.

We've been competing with the top four, plus Spurs, for several seasons now and I'm gone beyond worrying about what they spend.

It's early days yet, I'll start to panic at the end of July.

So let's get real and get used to the idea: EFC are penniless; therefore, we will have to bring young players through, and take a punt on a few unknown Bolivian coal-miners!

By the way, where is Vellios? ... and who is Bryan Oviedo?

Perhaps some of our eternal ''Moyes'' benchwarmers will finally get a proper chance to prove themselves under ''Al Martino''.

Really excited now... NOT!

Someone said this earlier and I'd echo the sentiment.

BK said he has enquiries for 2 players. He's clearly misrepresented situations before (lied).

I fear it's very likely those 2 enquiries are for the outgoing Baines and Felliani before we look at anyone. We probably haven't even reached out to anyone for any player yet.

It's 9:50 a.m. on a Friday in the States, and having said that I feel like having a drink.

We have young cover for almost all areas of the pitch, except the wings. Not only is Redmond young, but he has class. If we miss out on him and go for Kone, I'll have serious trouble maintaining any optimism this season.

Going back to Wigan for a load of players just proves what our ambition is. Bill said he and Bobby have discussed Champions League football – I am sorry but I haven't seen us linked with anyone who's going to help us achieve that.

It looks to me if we don't sell either Baines or Fellaini then we won't have money to spend; just proves that the Fer and Negredo bids were lies – otherwise, where's that money gone, Bill? There was no talk of us selling those two in January to fund anything; now, all of a sudden, Kenwright is shamelessly trying to flog Fellaini at press conferences for the arrival of the new manager and giving it the old Rooney scam over Baines.

If ya know yer history, when it comes to transfers with Kenwright an Co, he's as big an Evertonian you're getting, so how dare I question what he gets up too?

Elstone said at the EGM. "we are getting better at managing loss without affecting performance on the pitch". He's telling us we are not going back into profit.

Also laughable Bill is fuming Moyes has made an approach for Baines. Well if you leave a manager still in charge it's not rocket science he will tap players up, only yourself to blame Bill for not putting Moyes on gardening leave and keeping him away from contact of the first team.
