Ball?

I loved Alan Ball, but I loved Bobby Collins more. Look at the pic above my name.

Not the best choice of game to choose a photo from. lol

Almost forgot about this fella to be honest. Looks like he’ll still be here after deadline day.

I was disappointed with Wayne because he made the choice to leave. It was entirely his decision. 17 years old , earning a reported 35 thousand pounds a week, and playing for the club you support. A great, great footballer, but he let Everton FC down

Never let himself down though
His decision to leave was proved to be 100% correct
Won all major honours and wouldn’t have won a carrot in that Everton side
Football isn’t about who you support as a player, it’s a profession and you want to end up with trophies - that doesn’t happen here unfortunately

So could fall into option 3 and that is to stay on the books and not play until Jan...then go.

It was the first one I found. And Brian Labone is in it. Another one of my favourites.

He was 18 and he is Man Utd’s record goal scorer having won everything there is to win with them. In hindsight I don’t really blame him.

No it's not. If you are a hero and a millionnaire, who cares what you could have done in a star studded Man Utd side?

Players like Rooney are building blocks that make your club grow more succesfull. They attract other great players, deliver higher commercial revenue, they make Everton a more national product.
In 2004 there was little difference between Liverpool and Everton. They had Igor Biscan and Bruno Cheyrou.

But Gerrard stayed and Rooney left and that was that...

Too busy playing COD to train

His next manager will have a face like a cod when his calf explodes

 

[Death]

Never seen a player ruin his stock so badly with stupid decisions and attitude

That's bwhat money does to people. You and Sas have that proud working class Colombian integrity. He's lost his years ago.

I mean they had finished in the top 4 in 8 of the previous ten seasons (including the last one) and were winning trophies regularly.
Everton had just finished 17th and hadn’t been near the top 4 in a long time.

? so he should have stayed in that side for the benefit of Everton to see if he could make us better???
Palatable or not, his decision was right for him, Evertonian or not.
We were absolutely miles off when he left and not close to Liverpool at all

The boy was 17 ffs. Wait for another three/five years before moving on. It's still Everton, not Huddersfield or Barnsley.
Miles off? 18 wins and 4th if I'm not mistaken.. and he wasn't even here.

I can only understand it if you only look at it money-wise.
What's winning a trophy with Man Utd worth compared to winning a trophy at your boyhood club everton?

What would you do?

Like every other world class footballer, I’d play for a world class team, he’s no different.
We were 17th by the way…..
Evertonians don’t automatically play for Everton, it’s a job to them.
To us it’s a chore

Need to get this situation sorted. And also the other lad. Are we still not allowed to mention him?
