Byram Bid Accepted

[Kev The Rat]

Irrelevant.

I'd rather have Lukaku than every player you've mentioned put together. Which is lucky really isn't it.

you need a second striker mate. we still do.

i think its pretty much accepted tbh in the same way the failed shaqiri approach was telegraphed to all and sundry.

But the Shaqiri one was different again iirc, we wanted to loan him as weren't too sure how he'd fit personality wise but Stoke were prepared to offer a permanent deal to him and cash to his club.

Yes it is. This also has symbolical dimension innit. They have just knocked us down and anyone who tries to deny that isnt facing the truth. We need to do big to save our faces in this window. We really do. The state of this gentleman club.

Mate remember when we last lost a young english fullback who chose another team over us, think his name was Gosling - turned down a new contract to move to the 'bigger' club Newcastle, remember how that turned out, also seem to remember a young fullback turning us down to go spurs...

IF i player turns us down to go some-place like West Ham or Newcastle then frankly it means we swerved a utter waste of money

I agree. But I'm fairly certain if we'd spent big on Welbeck or Negredo we'd have never got Lukaku.

I'm enjoying comparing Star Wars Episode 1 people to footballers and not getting thread banned.

Little Analin = Juninho (the Middlesbrough one)

Watto = dirk kuyt?

 

[davek]

He's a rubbish footballer.

He's athletic. That's it.

 

[Hong Kong Phooey]

Martinez probably realised he'd have made a mug out of Howard every training session and didn't want to make him sad.

 

[FTY]

Gonna pretend not to be fuming..

 

[marnie]

Leeds could at least do the honorable thing............. Gentlemen to Gentlemen and take Mcgeady off our hands for £4 million.

 

[Matty_j1878]

This has all been worth it just to see the fume.

 

[AaronTheBlue]

Can't blame him but it's just proper Everton lets just move on now

If we'd have signed ogbonna, we probably would have signed funes mori.

If we'd have signed negredo, we probably wouldn't have had lukaku.

Walker, Coleman.

As I say, Bryam would have been great but he's probably getting first team footy there.

 

[Mrk]

Can't wait until Kone skips past him before miscontrolling the ball and watching it aimlessly roll out for a goal kick when they come to Goodison.

He'll really regret it then.

right so this time we upped the ante and offered better terms to leeds for byram - and still fell flat.
