• Bowen, Donovan, Pienaar, Arteta, Grealish, Ndiaye didnt look like a wingers going backwards to me.rnrnThey looked far better than what we had in the non Moyes years in most cases.rnrnI cant knock the 5 transfers. £60m cash spent on 5 players is bargain basement prices, which seemingly is where we are. Chelsea and co would spend that on a single bench warmer or someone to loan out. That is the gulf at the moment....

• Tony @ 80, Moysie loves a winger going backwards more than he does the player going forward.rnrnIf we start the season with O’Brien and Mykolenko as full-backs, then I might need therapy. Hopefully, as we read earlier, a decision will be made on a right-back now the options are fewer!...

• Munoz looks a tough and fit customer.rnI would not be too bothered about his age, the style of play shows that he has bags of stamina so not an issue for me.rnThe question is why would Palace let him leave ?rnWith his stats I would have him in a heartbeat !...
  Martin Berry in The pros and cons of Daniel Munoz as Everton linked with latest right-back
• We were apparently priced out of buying Spence because of the World Cup, but reports came out yesterday that the price has come down from the optimistic £40M Spurs were asking for a now more realistic £25.7M, and Spurs and Inter were discussing a deal.Munoz is undoubtedly a good player but I'd much prefer us to buy a younger player and pay a little bit more.Failing that, a cheaper option could be brought in with Kyle Walker on 1-year deal and also Hector Fort for the long term.That said, I'd also be satisfied if we bring in one right-back in the shape of Muñoz....
  Gavin Johnson in The pros and cons of Daniel Munoz as Everton linked with latest right-back
• Paul/Mike A, Here is our transfer window to date: 1) Hayden Hackney - a central midfielder who wlll sit on the bench. 2) Christan Norgaard - a 32 year old CDM to replace a 37 year old CDM. 3) Brennan Johnson - a winger with 2 goals and 1 assist last season, replacing a player with 0 goals and 1 assist, and adding £17 million in extra salary onto the wage bill. 4) Loans converted to purchase - Rohl and George who also sit on the bench. 5) Contract extensions for - try not to laugh - Keane and Mykolenko. Meanwhile, we have still not signed a striker, a right-back or addressed the 8 goals and 9 assists to be replaced if Grealish and Ndiaye are not here next season. This is a mid to lower table squad unless signficant progress is made. Big 3 weeks for the recruitment team. If it doesn’t work out, we can expect some sound-bites for the next 12 months - solid foundations, stabilty, consolidation, walk before we can run, Rome wasn’t built in a day, start from the ground floor up et...
  Steve Brown in “You can see this is a club that wants to go in the right direction” — Brennan Johnson on why he chose Everton move
• At the moment, if Jarrad Branthwaite breaks down, our whole season goes in the toilet, and we could well be relegated. We have to get in a proper centre-half, as well as two full-backs. And a centre-forward would be nice. Season starts next week, we\'ve got less than three weeks to sort out a whole lot of stuff. And has anyone heard any comment from the manager since last season ended?...
