This is a post of mine from August 2019. Just shows how wrong I can be


"Not a 100% perfect transfer window but still a very good one where we

Signed a goalkeeper which improves our cover for Pickford and which allows Virginia to go out on loan and gain valuable experience

Signed a right back on loan for a year who will really challenge Seamus for his place. After a year we have the option to sign him if he is a success, bring back Kenny if he has improved out on loan or look at the situation again but we're now in a much better situation

Centre back is why I am saying not 100 % but let's not forget Gbamin can play as centre half so we have provided some cover and I think Mina will prove himself this season

In midfield, unfortunately Gueye has left us but he goes with all our best wishes and we have Delph and Gbamin as strong signings, Don't forget we also got one of our prime targets Gomes on a permanent for really good price

In attack MOISE KEAN! What a signing and again what a bargain he will turn out to be. He's young but is our new Lukaku and him and Calvert Lewin will push each other. Iwoebi came in very late and he is an big improvement to the squad

All in all a good transfer window and my thanks to Brands and all his team, the owner for his support and Marco for selling the project ".

It could have been oh so different. Gbamin injury and gomes bad one against spurs, Delph and iwobi being awful alongside kean not wanting to be in England was a perfect storm of rubbish.

Most of it to be fair, probably why I haven't won the lottery either!

Everyone was as optimistic as you at that time bw, I clearly remember the weeks leading up to when Moise Kean signed, Ed002 assured us he would not be signing for Everton. then he did sign, then Ed002 predicted it would all end in tears. and it did, hindsight is brilliant, but I don't remember many evertonians being pessimistic in any of the Summers between 2016-2020, we were all expecting good things for each of the coming seasons, it all went tits up when they gave Benitez the job, it looked promising in those first few games, then the reality of things started to sink in, they should have let Ferguson have the job in the Summer, Benitez was only real avoidable error that Moshiri has made in my opinion.

I didn't have hope for Iwobi I did think if we paid 40 odd mill for him though someone knew what they were doing.
