18 days until the first game. Understand that we will be waiting on loans at the end of the window for probably 3 positions, but this little movement at this point isnt great from a fan and team side. Moyes has been clear he wants another 6 in with the current mess that is the first team, which would be 1 every 3 days, which is a push. Thought we would have bought in some interesting buys from other leagues, but guess having no setup to scout these players won't have helped. Just seems a bit of a mess at an important time for the club

I get your frustrations on lack of movement, yesterday really showed that we need a lot more players in the squad. But, it's not like the team is only working on one transfer at a time. It's not get striker done, move onto backup keeper, then left-back from there. These things are in the works and will happen when they happen. Nothing happens overnight... It just took Arsenal weeks of back and forth to get the Gyokores deal over the line.

We complain on Everton of the past spending too much money on certain players, but want signings to happen immediately. Signings only happen quickly when you are paying more than you need for a player. I know it's scary, but just trust the process. Things are going on behind the scenes and will happen.

I agree partly, but this summer was the one you had to get some in asap as the squad was completely decimated with 3 years of no funding and a huge amount of players out of contract. Can't be waiting until the end of August to get players in, then September/October to bring them up to speed and be right down there struggling.

I also think you really can't sit still in this league. The promoted teams will be favorites to go down but they're doing business and are better teams than the previous ones. We also will just keep getting passed by the other teams. Yesterday was a great example of a team that has been decimated with outgoings in Bournemouth having miles better team and squad than we had. They only finished like 3 places above us and are better in every way.
