I know and that saddens me.

Thank you Mosh Man.

How is this a wind up and why 6 months? I'm not saying these are the best options more so a very easy example of how crap the current squad is. Take those 2 for example and who they'd replace. Rondon's deal is out next year, Welbeck would absolutely take a 12 month deal on probably less than what Rondon is on now. Gomes' deal runs until 2024, Drinkwater would be delighted to have just a 12 month deal with us, never mind 2 years as well as Lingard who I said would take a 3 year deal where he'd probably still be a decent part of the squad by the end of it, Erikssen would be the exact same but I don't think we'd have a chancea at him.

Eriksen would be worth it because he’s a world class player . The other 3 are dog [Poor language removed]

And them 3 players on 1 yr deals and a 3 yr deal in lingards case. Would still cost the club roughly. Over 40mil. We could get a couple of really talented youngsters With potential and hunger with that money. Instead of wasting on old players who will not add anything and will be a waste of money and in lingards case i player we wouldn’t be able to get rid off, It’s not happening in a million years.

The odd one fair enough. Like Tarkowski or eriksen, but bringing in failed journeymen would be a disaster.

I think it's almost certain a RB will be sought.

I'm a big Coleman fan, but with the best will in the world he shouldn't be an automatic choice at RB; and Lampard hasn't shown any inclination to play Patterson so far (despite the "oh I was just going to play him too" comment he made after he got injured).

We cant go into a new season with a veteran and newbie as RB first choice.

….we can if the ‘newbie’ is very good.

if Lampard doesn’t think he’s good enough then we need to add a RB to our shopping list and move Patterson on.

Not a personal dig at you.

And im somebody that does enjoy beating Everton up, but people have really convinced themselves that the most we can hope for is mid-table based off 1 terrible season where everything that could go wrong, went wrong. Last season was a freak season.

Mid-table is something other teams should aim for, never Everton.

Conversely some people seem unwilling to accept that it wasn't a fluke but actually the natural continuation of a downward slide that started as far back as 2015. This squad is lacking in talent, lacking in enthusiasm, lacking in continuity and the current manager has shown very little tactically to suggest he's going to overcome it. On top of that the current transfer business doesn't suggest lessons have been learned yet.

Maybe right now it's a fluke, if we don't fix it soon in a few years it won't look like that.

Did I really just see Danny Drinkwater suggested?

No, it was 100% our fault and very much chickens coming home to roost.

We were very much the reason.

It wasnt me blaming anybody else, Everton was the reason.

The freak aspect was more Dom, but its Evertons fault we didnt plan for it.

You did, I kinda just moved on, no point even touching that.

I would rather sign daniel eatfood

Mina is never fit, Keane is only good now and then, Allan is old and on high wages, Gomes is poop and so is Rondon. Won't sell any of them.

He is 31! He is hardly Kazu Miura!

The main problem with Allan is he isn't that good.

 

[COYBL25]

Thank you Mosh Man.

We’ve had good times though.

This club went downhill when we got the manager who’d just been relegated. Standards dropped and he was found out.
Another manager that some on here thought was fantastic..

 

[Goat]

We’ve had good times though.

Our greatest day in 27 years was coming back from 2-0 at home against Crystal Palace, to survive relegation.

At least it replaces Saha scoring in the Cup Final.

His legs are going. He's picked up a muscle injury every year here.

Hopefully Frank will tell Gomez and Davies to find another club. That would remove two more clumps. Gomez can go abroad and Davies should find his level and a career in League 1 or even the Championship.

How will we really know if he’s good enough, probably had a month/6 weeks with him, look how bad mykolenko looked in his first handful of appearances. And has a lot more experience than Patterson. Obviously anything can happen in football but I would be gobsmacked if Patterson is sold
