WHILE the stadium debate heads ominously towards the all-important poll, another battle is raging with more immediate concern.
It's the one we are fighting with one hand died behind our back.
So far we've had our arses kicked from pillar to post during this summer's transfer window.
We've been out-muscled by teams like Sunderland, Portsmouth and Wigan and turned down by equally uninspiring players, Kieran Richardson anyone?
Now Boro or Newcastle look more likely to land Alan Smith (whose agent is briefing in favour of a Goodison Move) and we could easily lose out on Leighton Baines (who also prefers Everton).
It will leave us going into the new season with just Jagielka and Pienaar added to the squad.
God knows what's happening with Johann Vogel.
Yes, we know the reasons why we are being outbid. Yes, we know Moyes still wants to add faces. Yes, we know he won't plunge us back into more debt.
But the season starts in less than two weeks and we're in four competitions with the same small squad.
I don't like the maths one bit.
But it's looking increasingly like we're going to have to trust in the ability and fitness of the players we have until January at least.
(I'll be keeping my fingers crossed though. They still haven't dished out the No10 shirt).

That an utter load of rubbish what you've written there.
All the best like, just stop spouting waffle.
