Koeman confident Lookman can step up soon

For once Everton, stop being Everton and act like a club with real ambition.

I am getting to the stage where the only thing that will convince me we mean business is a statement saying Kenwright is no longer Chairman, part of the board etc etc.

I totally agree. We have a billionaire owner who needs to spend like the big boys. We need a defender, a midfielder, and another striker... now.

I also hope that we do not become a comedy show for Jim White where we miss out on a target (probably to Spurs) in last minute of transfer deadline day.

Unfortunately it seems we're haggling over ٟm for our apparent 1st choice signing. Then again I'm sure Man Utd would have pulled out of signing pogba if he'd been 䀍m instead of 䀌m.

There are numerous exciting options being proposed on the echo site – I don't want 8 signings just 3 absolute top quality ones. We need to rebuild the team with 22-27-year-olds.

No hope, no enthusiasm – this season is another pile of shite. After the optimism of the summer, it seems even worse than usual.

I'm not having this wait to see where we are at the end of January thing. Surely the Board can see that immediate action is required, not waiting another three weeks and for 3 or 4 more league games to have slipped by.

If no player who can immediately enhance the first team (Lookman doesn't count) is signed by the Man City game, which falls exactly halfway through a critical month for Moshiri and Walsh to prove themselves, then as far as I'm concerned, that will be all the evidence I need that our new hierarchy remains cripplingly hamstrung by the old.

Wouldn't be a surprise would it. Just get it done Everton and just for once show us that somebody who deals with transfers at this club is not completely incompetent.

Perhaps this is the wrong thread for board-bashing, but I too am becoming suspicious about the new set-up.

First, we had the disappointment of the summer window. Selling Stones and spending a negative three million on Gueye, Williams and Bolasie is not investment.

Then there was the most underwhelming Deadline Day I can remember, with the loan signing of a striker who couldn't get in West Ham side. And I don't buy for a second, that Walsh and Koeman didn't have time to get targets in. They did. They just didn't have the backing.

Now we come to the January window and the only signing so far is a £7 million prospect from League One. Nothing new there. This gives us a net spend under Mosh of about three mill.

Then we have Ron's rant. This has been followed not by a swift capture of Sneiderlan but by news that Lookman looks the business, the returning Pennington is a Rolls Royce, and Macca is going nowhere.

There has been little or no tangible evidence that Moshiri has changed anything other than the superficial face-lift of Goodison Park and for me the jury is well and truly still out on the whole thing. Talk is cheap. And with Everton, it's quickly becoming pointless ad nausea.

Eat humble pie all day and enjoy every minute of it - gladly!

If I was looking at several players and one deal was moving slowly I'd be getting "one of the others" moving along. Surely they (the deals) don't have to be done in any specific order????

I've pissed myself off now making that point ...

Its only the 10th January for God's sake and we have 2 new signings and I wouldn't be surprised if we get more in before the window closes.

Lets keep some faith and patience for a change.

I hope that you are right. It appears that we have agreed a fee, I'll be delighted if we sign but I've been a fan of this club for too long to celebrate before he has actually signed. Agreeing a fee still gives our people massive scope to cock it up. I'll be happy to be proved wrong.

Did John Moores give a toss about the supporters knowing who he was going after? Did Phillip Carter spill the beans to keep the faithful up to speed?

Kenwright well he never had any intention of signing anyone before 22:59 on deadline day then he'd just miss out. Now you expect Mr Mosh to quote chapter and verse of the transfer targets. It's like Christmas Eve – just wait and see what you get not too long to go.

I expect at least one more face in before Feb, can't imagine Lookman and Schneiderlin will be the only ones.

Also hope we shift at least 2 out. Niasse and Cleverley look to be on the cards.
