Whatever happened to Isco and Khedira

Paper talk most likely

I’m really struggling to believe that we are letting all these players go without bringing anyone in at all

LW:
Richarlison
Gordon (?)

ST:
Calvert-Lewin

RW:
James
Iwobi

5 players for 3 positions with James potentially occupying a different one and Gordon about 15 years old seems very reckless

Eddie Who?

Nketiah, Arsenal forward who is all time record scorer for England U21s

Not familiar with him. Since I stopped playing Footy Manager a few years back my knowledge of players is garbage these days.

I mean, at least for Khedira, there was legit talk. Carlo mentioned him numerous times, Khedira mentioned Carlo and Everton numerous times. I think he'd be terrible here but there was definitely more than "paper talk".

Dunno but think our biggest issue at the minute is a lack of pace. These may good players but not what we need at the minute.

When your back up striker and back up midfielder are both sigurdson then you’ve got problems

Ive laughed reading this just now




But ill probably also cry for a few minutes later on before I go to asleep

Just watching Villa v Saints - bar James, Barkley is head and shoulders above what we have in our midfield. I know he's on loan from Chelsea but we should get him back at Goodison at the end of the year.

It’s the Walcott one that puzzles me. I know he didn’t offer that much for us but he is still way better than any of Siggurdson Bernard Gordon and probably Iwobi this season. He could also have covered the central striker berth. I wasn’t that bothered when he went but even just having his pace to call on off the bench would give us a different dimension.

Villa have a decent midfield tbf. Players with a lot movement and energy as opposed to our slugs who pass and stand still.

I agree but probably not about Iwobi. On the whole Iwobi has done well along the right. However given the money they were paying him (I believe 80k p/w) I can see why we moved him on.

There is obviously a problem at Everton that runs deeper than the manager, the players or the director of football. Admittedly I don't know who to blame, but since 2016 with the exception of a few players, we've largely bought dross. We have had 7 transfer windows to replace Lukaku, we haven't, we really need another top class winger and replacement for Coleman and a new goalkeeper.

In the past whether you agreed with Moyes or Bobby's tactics, you at least understood what they were trying to do and their recruitment strategy. Which moron decided to sign Rooney, Sigurdsson, and Klassen in the same transfer window? I don't understand how Tom Davies is anywhere near a Premier League side, he's obviously a Championship player. It's blatantly obvious if god forbid DCL gets injured, then we'll be screwed, yet there doesn't seem to be any attempt to bring anybody in.

Another thing is why do some many of our players have attitude problems, this didn't exist before for the most part. Pickford is a arrogant divvy, Lookman had an attitude problem, The Snide did, Sigurdsson does, and certain other players do. It seems like they just can't be bothered sometimes, which never really happened under Moyes. The only thing that has changed and I'm not saying he's to blame is Moshiri coming in, either he's getting bad advice or he's making bad decisions.

There hasn't been the pressure to win so some of them think they can take games off or should just turn up and win games such as today is my theory.

Walcott just went off injured hamstring I think...

Grealish works well with Barkley - but James would also complement him.
