Hackney and George signings show young players still want to play for Moyes

Whether he gives them a chance to play is a different story

so with the sell on fee from him the the sell on fee from Gordon to Barca, The club now have Moyes compensation so sack him and give the club the opportunity to have ambition !!!

David @ 14, it sounds good but to my mind it’s also a formula for getting us relegated.

It doesn’t take much to lose games in the Prem. there’s very little difference quality wise in the middle of the table teams, lose a few more extra and we will find ourselves battling relegation.
It’s all very well asking for inexperienced players to start but that can go both ways.

I think ultimately you have to trust the manager to know if they are our best player for that position at that time, after all he’s the one who should know he’s watching them practically every day.

We all know the criticism of Moyes that he is too safety first and that’s fair enough, but I think when he looks at our present squad he can see we are weak in too many positions.

Everton have been looking for a right back for years and the best they can come up with is Ben White & Djed Spence (although Doue could be a decent option). Djed Spence? He’s shite! Panama caused him all kinds of problems. Panama! Ben White is injury prone who’s best years are behind him, despite behind 28.

Kevin (2), I agree 100% with you about Kevin Thelwel. He was brought in as the Footballing Director just as the club was descending into the chaos of the final days of the Moshiri regime. He quickly had to don the role of a fire-fighter – trying to reduce costs and be compliant with the obscure PSR rules, and having to patch up a squad plagued by injuries to Calvert-Lewin, Branthwaite, Yerry Mina, Coleman, etc.

Many of his buys can be considered as positive given the context of the financial position that Everton were in those dark days: Tarkowski, McNeil, James Garner, Amadou Onana, the return of Gana Gueye, Iliman Ndiaye, Jack O’Brien, Tim Iroegbunam have all contributed to Everton’s survival in the Premier League.

Then there were players who he signed who, while they did not contribute greatly to the club, weren’t too bad either. Players like: Chermiti, Beto, Jack Harrison, Ashley Young, Orel Mangala, Charlie Alcaraz, etc

The really poor signings which didn’t work out at all for Everton were relatively few – Neil Maupay, the loans of Danjuma, Broja and Lindstrom.

Overall, I think TFG made a major blunder in removing him. I don’t see the present incumbents doing anything great in the recruitment department. It has been mostly unimaginative and uninspiring signings so far. Hopefully, they pull a few rabbits out of the hat.
