Townsend will probably be a decent enough signing for them, as will Demarai Gray. Not the type of players that are going to see them push on though.
 
I give you Tom Davies. Nice dressing-gown. What is it about these self-obsessed tossers at Everton?
Looks like he's covered himself in glue and run through his mum's wardrobe.

Him and Calvert-Lewis do seem to have pretty eccentric dress sense. It’s not for me, but fair play to them. Makes a bit of a change from the stereotypically terrible attire most players go for.
 
Everton need a persona. Years ago they were known as the "School of science" and then as the "Mersey Millionaires". What are they now?...er...the Liverpool club that isn't Liverpool. We laugh at Ole but Trafford United's rep has enabled them to sign top players despite the trophyless years and an amateur manager. Everton are just a cipher and won't get anywhere until they are known for something positive. They tried the people's club thing but it availed them nothing outside their own city. Perhaps the new stadium will spark something, but that will be years yet.
 
Any club signing a journeyman like Andros Townsend has limited ambition and is never going to break through into the elite.

I'm not sure where Everton go from here. They threw some money at it and appointed a top coach but that failed miserably. Done the right way Leicester have proved you can make a decent fist of it being careful and snapping up promising talent and developing them. Can Everton do the same? I think it will be difficult.

The Townsend signing stinks of quota.

They currently have 9 home grown players if my calculations are correct and that includes Jonjo Kenny and Sigurdsson who most likely won’t be there.

An honest pro with good experience who’s worked under Rafa before and it’s not a bad signing.

£500M Leicester have spent since 2015!

13 England caps, on a free and he’s only 30. We’d have snapped his hand off in July 2008…..

The selection of pieces looks almost randomly selected, it is honestly pretty amazing. I definitely prefer it to the tacky head to toe Balenciaga or whatever that most footballers wear.
 
Seen Delph’s insta post from training yesterday.
loved Delph. His content in the documentary was quality.

And have received how much for Marhez, Kante, McGuire, Drinkwater, Chillwell and others?

About £300M and so they might be in the running for a top 10 finish in the net-spend table, if one existed but I was merely making the point that they don’t necessarily just ”snap up bargains, do it the right way and develop them”, but spend a few quid as well.
