Sorry Archie when we have just signed Amavi and Gueye etc that look brilliant and Everton have spent 9.5 on Mori who Tim Vickery has gone on record to say is nowhere near good enough for the same money I think you are being way over the top about our scouts. This summer they have clearly been much better. Can't we give them a chance to see his they do now. You are hung up on Ayew who is very young relatively still, and may yet prove us all wrong.
I wonder how much the manager was limited on money to spend. It looks as though he has had to rely on the Benteke sale for the bulk of the buys and has only spent around £10m on top of money brought in through sales. Had Sherwood planned for Delph leaving and di he expect to get rid of a few more. As much as money dictates how many you bring in, for a club in our position the number of senior players also is a factor. We cannot afford to have too many that we are paying not to play. It would be interesting to know how things would have developed if Benteke was still with us.I think the club have done well to identify and bring in so many players in the short time from when it was clear that Liverpool were going to pay up for Benteke. I would imagine they have made enquiries about many players that have not been reported. I think these days there is a shortage of players that are obvious potential buys for a club in our position. The most obvious example of this a central striker where Austin stood out the most but it would appear that nobody would touch him for whatever reason, even at £15m, when a player like Berahino is valued at £25m.I am pleased with the way things have gone and look forward to the mid and end of season windows to see the continuation of the rebuilding of the squad. There are areas that still need strengthening and some of the buys will not come off but if the teams starts playing well, we will become an attraction for young up and coming foreign players, without the need to break the bank. Also, hopefully, some of our own young players will develop as well.
Goals are going to be the issue . That's unless Ayew Gestede can settle quickly and begin firing, do we convert Sinclair to an out and out striker ? Will Kozak ever get a chance ? Traore ? 7 or 8 goals I'd hope Gabby ? He will not score more than 8 PL goals max . The midfield simply won't contribute in terms of Westwood Sanchez but Grealish may start registering.
i just dont understand why we need so many centre backs, its MON all over again

The reason why I am partially unsatisafied is that with 16 millions we could sign the likes of Paloschi (Chievo, striker), Destro (Bologna, Striker) and Sorrentino (Palermo, keeper) and I have the impression that our scouts do not look at the Italian Serie A (where, by the way, are actually withouth contract three excellent and experienced coaches like Prandelli, Donadoni and Guidolin).
