Everton’s majority shareholder Farhad Moshiri admitted RossBarkley’s u-turn over his move to Chelsea came as a surprise.

“The two clubs agreed a deal of £35m and personal terms were agreed and after the medical we heard from Ross Barkley’s agent that he had changed his mind. He told us he wanted to reconsider and stay with us for the time being.

“It was a big surprise but that is football. It has been a very busy transfer window, we have brought in a lot of players especially in attacking areas. We have a lot of new players and it will take some time to gel. We are very happy with business. These are all Ronald Koeman’s signings.

“We have also Bolasie and Seamus Coleman fit in October, which will help the squad. We would like to finish as high as possible in the table.”

They have too many players.
It's great but I'd expect there to be lots of disappointment.

Guess Aurier doesn't count?

Well, I'd say he was considered a defender. Him and Rose provide the pace and width in our formation and the way we play.

We don't technically play with wingers - Aurier and Rose' width frees up space for our creative and best players in the centre of the field to dominate.

Pace only seems to be brought up when we struggle in games (every team struggles at some point) - yet when we smash teams, pace is never mentioned. When we had Trippier and Davies at the back end of last season and we smashed United and Woolwich, dominated Leicester and Hull etc. - no mention of pace being desperate.

If it was so important, we wouldn't have got rid of Njie and we'd have given N'Koudou a lot more game time. Simple as that.

I don't want paaaaacccceee.
I don't think georgiou, Nkoudo or Edwards are pushing Dele or Eriksen yet.
Is winks pushing Dembele, I don't know.
I would have thought a midfielder was a cert this window.
Especially when the manger himself said we needed new energy , new player/s to push our best, he then said Kane, Dele, Eriksen.
Don't get me wrong the window has been good.
A replacement for Walker,
Sanchez
2 future players and someone who put 15 goals away last season pushing Kane.
But we still haven't got a midfielder to push the others.
Tashan is more of a central Dembele type footballer so I don't think he expects him too.

Am I the only one who was trying to figure out what the tune for that was supposed to be?
 
Hugely relieved we signed an adequate replacement for Walker.
Sanchez seems a great buy. Foyth is a punt on the future so neither here or there for me. And Gazzaniga will probably never play a first team game. Underwhelmed with Lorente. Hugely disappointed we failed to land Pochs number 1 target Barkley, who's been practically begging to join Spurs. And equally disappointed we've failed to add any wide attacking options. Probably give our window 4.5/10 as it stands.
