You are extremely negative in your views Simon, in fact you always have been. Also your dismissal of Kelechi's ability verges on the arrogance , that lad is a natural goalscorer. I also think that Pep's team will be the highest scorer in the league by a decent marginyes i did forget sane....apologises....no idea how he will fair in the prem league to be honest.....
Kelechi won't score 20 even if he plays every game....he is a good player with fantastic potential but he is nowhere near as good as some on here make out at present......he could be and has everything to be but he aint even close to being able to lead a team going for the prem and champs league yet
He scored 8 league goals (9 if we count the incorrect ruling vs Newcastle) from mostly cameo appearances. You're drastically underrating the player.
I'm quite comfortable going into the season with a forward line of Aguero, Iheanacho, Nolito, Sane and Sterling. It appears Pep is too.

Mandy Rice-Davis time. Well he would say that wouldn't he?! No Premier League club is likely to have much of an FFP issue this summer courtesy of the new TV deal, and an additional £110m for Stones or Lukaku will certainly give Everton plenty of temporary wriggle room. However:
1. You've got no European football
2. You're creating the perception of being a selling club
3. No top player is going to look twice at you, and those semi decent players who do will want top dollar.....which will create its own long-term problems
4. If you do unearth a diamond, the rags or the Chavs will immediately come sniffing
5. West Ham, Liverpool, City, the rags, the Arse, Spurs (post 2017) are 6 clubs who have modern 50-60000 capacity stadia. You have a 38000 capacity fire hazard that needs bulldozing, and whilst it has its undeniable charms it's going to severely limit the amount you can generate, notwithstanding that your fanbase (and this is a problem City have as well) is traditional working class and cash poor, and all of which will make corporate investment and the development of corporate hospitality and an overseas fanbase that much harder.
In short you can keep on as much as you want, but if Everton bag a Chimps League spot in the next 10 years I'll eat my hat
I think there is an obvious answer to that it I will leave you to work it out Simon - you are negative (in my opinion) but not daftno you just pick up on the negative ones......
Im very positive about the signing of the young players and also Gudongan in particular
I genuinely wonder why you only pick up on the negative comments that I make and miss the positive ones (for instance where Ive put int he past that regardless how well we play I would have Pep here for life etc)]
Maybe you should ask yourself why you only pick up on the negatives.....

it's not just about having the money, it's also about a player wanting to go to the club. and i would reasonably say that there are between 6-8 clubs that a player would go to before everton. therein lies the problem and the next few seasons will see no rapid improvement at goodison. but hopefully it will bring stability and then we can see what can be achieved. am sceptical rather than cynical re Moshiri, only time will tell.
Williams and him would actually be a fairly solid cb pairing, especially with the improving Mori too.
Thank goodness!We could see it all finally sorted by Wednesday.
Williams is really forcing the issue to get the Everton deal and Bony also fancies it.
