• I think we are all in agreement.rnIt was a disaster.rnAre we better off, absolutely not and isn\'t that\'s what the window is for to improve the squad.rnrnWe now have a plethora of midfielders but a lack of diversity in the striker situation.rnrnBarry will be running around like a headless chicken chasing shadows. It\'s not his fault.rnrnSure he will find the net now and again but where else will they come from except from the free kicks that Grealish may win now and then.rnrnUnless George or KDH become support up front it seems Moyes will be obliged to use the same conservative tactics he has used for years.rnrnAt this stage we cannot expect any change to the negativity that Moyes employs but it\'s not all his fault with the dilatory board we have.rnOkay we needed to release McNeil but did we need another winger who doesn\'t find the net.rnrnGeorge could conceivably be a target man to help Barry as he has a lot of skill but would need the righ...

• David #30, it wasn\'t just Everton that left it to the last minute. As reported in the US press today (it\'s a big story here of course) Balogun was late for his medical and Monaco -- a notoriously unprofessional operation -- was hours late delivering the required medical paperwork. So there\'s enough blame to go around.rnrnPlus the injury concern was legitimate. Balogun rolled an ankle in the WC that apparently hadn\'t fully healed yet. And we did get better financial terms as a result. So while I certainly understand the kid getting pissed off and cancelling the deal, some of this mess wasn\'t Everton\'s fault.rnrnTFG/Kinnear\'s massive f***up was selling Beto. We shouldn\'t have sold him at all, but definitely definitely definitely not before having a signed and sealed replacement on board. rnrnWe needed three strikers to compete for Europe and Cups. We are now down to one. That is an unrecoverable blunder, one that should cost Kinnear his job, and our po...
  Mike Gaynes in Monaco CEO on Balogun’s late Everton U-turn: “Not comfortable signing after club’s treatment”
• I think the calls for Braiden Graham to get a game are ridiculous and very optimistic at best. At least as a striker which is where we\'re short. He\'s just too small and slight, especially for how Moyes sets us up. He looks about 5ft 7\" and 9 stone wet. ...

• Tommy says Garner\'s form \"dropped off a cliff\" last season.rnrnFunny nobody else noticed, since he was our Player of the Season and Player\'s Player of the Season.rnrnAnyway, I\'m very glad he\'s still with us. The only thing that makes me feel better about yesterday is that we still have a deep, skilled core in midfield. And Garner is our leader there. ...
