Angry Everton supporters descend on their Finch Farm training ground

Everton face wrath of supporters yet again as angry protesters descend on their Finch Farm training ground after they fail to sign a striker, despite owner Farhad Moshiri promising they would bring one in this month

• Everton failed to bring in any permanent additions in the winter transfer window
• Owner Farhad Moshiri had promised they would bring in a striker this month
• As a result, angry protesters descended on their Finch Farm training ground 

Everton faced the wrath of their supporters tonight as angry protesters descended on their Finch Farm training base.

The club’s failure to sign a striker during the transfer window has left fans at their wit’s end and from 7pm onwards, a group came down to vent their frustration at the way things have been conducted. 

Some had banners, others simply stood numb in the cold.

Owner Farhad Moshiri had promised that the club would sign a striker, but they failed to do so

Owner Farhad Moshiri had promised in a video recorded on January 19 that Everton would ‘sign a striker’.

But despite looking at a number of options, there was still no sign of the new face they so desperately need arriving. 

New manager Sean Dyche and Kevin Thelwell, the club’s Director of Football, were still at the facility at 9.20pm.

The pair were hoping to find a solution for a team that has only scored two goals or more twice in the 20 Premier League games they have played this season.

To that end, Everton made a late attempt to sign French striker Jean-Philippe Mateta from Palace.

Mateta, 25, has been generally out of favour at Selhurst Park this season, only scoring once in 19 appearances in all competitions and only starting three Premier League games. 

It has been one of the most rancorous periods in the club’s history.

And the fact they were the only club not to buy a player during the winter window will do little to ease the tension for Everton, who face Arsenal at Goodison Park on Saturday.
