Can anyone out there explain to me just who Everton FC are planning to sign in this transfer window? Martinez deliberately let it be known that the Club would be getting its business done early! Now if that business just consists of Tom Cleverley on a Free and Delafeu from Barca for £4mil, then we are in trouble and this inactivity will not convince the likes of James McCarthy to stay if and when the so called big clubs begin to show interest. We have been linked with numerous really decent players of late.Wijnaldum the Dutch midfielder & Ogbonna the defender from Juventus.and have lost out on both? Another brilliant Dutch creative midfielder, Clasie, has just signed for Southampton for a mere £8-5 mil. that's a hell of a nominal fee for such a good player. We need another striker. a permanent second striker alongside Lukaku, not stuck out on the flanks like Mirallas. to play in tandem with Lukaku, just like Sharp & Heath or Gray. One lone striker having to run round like a headless chicken for 90mins is stupid, in my opinion! And once again, even at this very early pre-season, I do not see at all any reason to pin our hopes on Ross Barkley. He was his usual very unconvincing self against Stoke in the Asia Trophy. in fact Pienaar showed more than Barkley. I am fed up hearing about his potential, and he's only 21 etc.he is never going to hold and control the midfield and is not good enough to "build a team around". Barkley shows flashes of brilliance once or twice every couple of games but does precious little else. I reall wish I didn't think this way, but at the age he is at now he should be taking every game by the scruff of the neck and be bombing past people with the pace and power he has.but he doesn't. Sergio Roberto from Barca (which is rumoured) could be a good signing but we badly need another top class, proven striker, and not a striker who only plays when Lukaku is injured or rested. Martinez needs to get the Midfield 4 sorted and fully balanced, all working for each other and then 2 permanent strikers in front of them. We also must at all costs keep hold of Stones, Coleman & McCarthy, these 3 are the future of Everton FC. The club needs to buy proven class players now, because as the season nears the prices go up. I really hope we can have a great season and we have proved that we can beat anyone on our day, as we did last season. COYB.
