We Just Don't Have The Buying Power........

    I for one accepted after the Fer deal that no signings were going to be made.  The deal was a farce from the first second, we have NEVER done a BREAKING DEAL on the main website until the transfer is done and dusted... I for one will not be roped in to public stunts and I am glad I am a person who is not fooled easily.

    Never the less, if everyone is fit we have a team that is capable of a top 4 spot, no problem.  I am a very positive person, but again a realistic one, will we keep all our main players fit? no we wont, so I think we will get top 6 at best, which again i have accepted... All the top 7 except for us can spend when a target becomes available, we cant, but lets just hope we get the champions league qualification, it will make all the difference to the finances of our club.

    Cross fingers now till the end of the season, keep us injury free and we might just scrape through. But if we don't, I do think this will have been an opportunity lost, we will say bye bye to Fellaini in the summer, use his money on new players and wait for them to "bed in" to the current Everton team, we might just not be in this position again for a few more years...

    I am actually glad we have spent ridiculous sums of money to be competing at the top. I look at the money Liverpool have spent on Downing, Babel, Allen, Charlie Adam, Downing, Carrol etc............ and shake my head in disbelief, and wonder if we had money like they do would we do the same? Moyes has made some fantastic signings and bar Bily and Beattie and possibly a couple more, whatever money he has spent he has got it back and more when selling the player on, I mean look at Arteta and Lescott.

    Totally and UTTERLY agree with you Tone...

    But, I much preferred when Moyes says his usual before the window " We dont have Money"... Most supporters that don't have a realistic view of football/finances and that's when the club should shut up and just carry on...
