I think he and DCL up front together can work still

They played together up top a fair bit last year and both of them seemed to score less because of it

Yes, we might never have to see sigurdsson in an Everton shirt again

Bit inappropriate isn't it?

Why so? Regardless what he might or might not have done I've never liked him anyway. So if he never plays for Everton again that's great news for me.

Aren’t you trying to smash @Sassy Colombian ’s ma? Nobody will marry you if you carry on with these shenanigans.

I think in a functioning team it could work better. I mean they did it with Sigurdsson filling in on the left. So yeah that didn't work.

He played mostly in the middle in the 5-3-2 which is what I remember us using most of the time they played together up top.

That's also a terrible team with no supply line though. I think in a 4-4-2 with real wingers and God willing maybe a real ball progressor in midfield it could still work.

Frankly I'm not ruling out any ideas because Carlo Notarsedico couldn't get them to work.

I don't think you will see Benitez playing 442 I can't remember a time he ever did apart from bringing on Robbie Keane at the end of a match to play off of Torres.

Maybe not. But then I have a tough time putting together what exactly these signings are supposed to add up to. It would really suck to have another manager who is going to play the most vanilla 4-2-3-1 imaginable.

If we shift Bernard, bring in Gray/Towsend and sign another right midfielder it's good business.
We also have to remember we're going to be without Richarlison for the start of the season.

Could be for all the season.Worrying series of events seem to be happening to us.Hes already inherited a disjointed squad the fan base expect miraculous results or else.It will be a miracle if we finish in European qualifying position next season.

He’ll play a 6-4-0 because he’s a fat kopite rat
