Seems increasingly evident from reactions to links that we've got half our fanbase that want to see us sign and develop young players whilst the other half seek to ridicule it as a cheap and nasty approach to running a club.
Similarly some are impressed by price-tags and on the opposite just as many that aren't.
This isn't likely to change; thus I doubt the constant inter-fan conflict will be abated by ENIC being driven out...... Whilst such a vast divide remains with fans identifying with the club in opposing ways; how can any the majority of owners be expected to please a majority of the fans; let alone everyone.
Waiting on the people who insist we should buy Tarkowski as he heads inexorably toward another relegation.
Tarkowski has his admirers here; regardless of Everton's league position.
Tell Tarkowski the news
I don't blame Tarkowski for Lampard being a terrible coach. Tark probably was paid very handsomely and offered a guaranteed starting place in the team. I'm sure he'd have been fine as a backup CCB/utility CB for us.Waiting on the people who insist we should buy Tarkowski as he heads inexorably toward another relegation.
Barnes would be ok for us. Better than Son at least, crafty, English, and we don't really need to be worrying about how to fit in Kane and Richy anymore.
I like Barnes. Good player and has a good football brain, would be very expensive though. The rest, nah ta.
If we sold Kane and Dier, this could be our team next year:
Rich
Son - Kulu - Gil
Bent - Sarr
Udog-Ben-Rom-Djed
If we sold Son too, we could do this
Gil - Rich - Kulu
Udog - Bent - Sarr -Djed
Ben - Rom - Dav
The future could be exciting- but only if the club accept a rebuild as necessary and embrace it. (I put some names above that people will say should be sold. We won't be able to sell all the deadwood this summer, so we need to play triage and figure out least-worst choices and those sorts of things.)

Doesn’t seem like we will sign anyone, mainly because we can’t sell anyone. Haven’t seen a single credible story on any player leaving except for the usual murmurs of Gil, Japh etc being available.
The future could be relegation.
11 useful players from the relegation-zone clubs + Zaha (Bosman).
Never Spam but Declan Rice over Billing, TBF.
Just had a cakes and champagne lunch on Regent Street. Spent more than we'll spend in this entire transfer window.
Worth it.

If we're getting anyone from Leeds, I'll take Gnonto over Summerville.
Off to Chelsea then...
So glad we've gone into this window proactive and expeditious as always
A deadline day bargain for a Roma reject, fucking hell

Given our repeated interest in the player this has the feel of one that's gonna happen.
Makes me nervous. Quality player, a little bit of a Kulu-like post hype sleeper, but gigantic injury risk and I'm not certain where he plays.
A damn-the-torpedoes 352 with Kulu at RWB and Zaniolo is the 10ish role Conte played Eriksen in makes some sense, but would Conte be that attacking with this backline in this league?
