I think loans are likely. The last thing we need is to sign more players that are just not good enough. There are players who will be heading into the last twelve months of their contract in the summer and will be able to sign pre contract agreements in twelve months so they may be available...

There is so much wrong with Everton. The entire club has been run by a bunch of amateurs. Look at the Brighton line-up and compare how much it costs against the Everton line-up. Look at the football Brighton play and compare it to how Everton play. It is not about capital, but about competence...

Like Richy but out as a left sided forward, he is not a number 9 in this league, if we had a decent play maker he may be but the way we play he's not effective and is wasted, he simply can't play with his back to goal.

Well if it means we didn't have to play Godfrey at LB, meaning Tarkowski and the ghost of Bobby Moore didn't have to play at CB when the rest are inevitably injured/suspended, it might help

Cracking performance all over the pitch. All about the partnerships. Branthwaite and Tarkowski were immense at the back, were calm and aggressive in equal measure. Great foil for eachother, Tarks the proactive leader and communicator, Branthwaite just so clutch, more of a modest game reader...

Kamada looks like a right baller. Throw a decent contract his way, then throw Frankfurt a penny to get him in Jan. Add a wide forward/play maker and a CF in January, I really like DCL, I always have, but we need a replacement for him, or at least a forward of the same standard, ideally in the...

I don't look at Brazil performances because it's a different standard of play

This 100%

It's sort of true, but not necessarily in a positive way. He's important to us simply because there are very few players capable of scoring more than a handful of goals each in this side, so his importance is really a testament to the flat-out negligence of the club to recruit goal scorers. DCL...

Because the club isn't skint, it's restricted by financial fair play which I don't think would be impacted by the sacking of a manager - though maybe someone will correct me on that. I do agree, though. New players is just about more important than a new manager. These idiots are taking an age...

Yes probably. I suppose my point is, we should take that out on the decision makers, not the player if that's how it turns out. I still think he goes, but that just be some hopeful bias playing out.

Wow Tim, I remember you being his biggest advocate before he signed. I was wary of hiring him then and I’m wary of keeping him now but I can see what he’s trying to do and I think he deserves another window to get a play maker, and some decent forwards.

Can't say I read it all...but I guess we are all singing off the same Hymn Sheet, Brother

The English Football League system has been infiltrated by this American mindset of "EVERY play needs to be reviewed because we have to morally get every call correct". Well now you see the result of this American mindset. 20 years ago in America, we thought certain plays needed to be reviewed...

Yeah, big step up from that league to this. Arteta must know a play maker when he sees one though.

I could see us chancing an offer but doubt they'd accept

I’m not sure many know this but I am actually primarily a guitarist … I’ve played for a little over 50 years but always …well at least the last 20 years it’s been on my mind to build one . In late 2020 I was working in a stressful job fand took a one month hiatus to get away I found a highly...

So you want a manager to "fix" Gray in 6months? Not to pick on Gray, by the way. But he aint ever getting fixed. Im not offering this as an excuse, but as ive said before, we play Palace and we look like we can form attacks, we then play Fulham and for 45minutes it was like the players have...

I hope we take this seriously tonight (I think we will), we're playing a team that could well be in the league next season, not a collection of butchers, bakers and candlestick makers. Please make it painless.

Okay, last attempt. You're in a hypothetical divisional championship game against a team you are roughly comparable to in terms of quality and ability. Which quarterback do you take? a) A guy who has played about 8 times in 10 years who you just elevated from the practice squad b) The guy who...
