January 2018 transfer window thread.

[Zatara]

Watching Porto last year he looked like a young Lewandowski. I'd be delighted if we signed him.

Were also linked to Rafael silva who looked good when at braga.

Nonsense
Tosun was the giroud money

Barkley was the Giroud money.

It's not Billy's fault moyes had no idea how to use him. Stick him in a barca side or Madrid and he runs riot

now this IS subjective ^^

stick me in a barca or real team and I'm quite sure my incredible bulk would run riot too lol lol

Decent player but it'd worry me since we just got rid of a one good game in ten winger.

Tbf I bet you wouldn't go hiding during a tough spell like Baines does

OH right so, by your logic, because he never won any trophies in an average team, he was crap?? He was not as good as Billy?

Does that also apply to Socrates, shackleton, Defoe, Les Ferdinand, Tim Cahill, Le Tissier - all never won a major trophy in their careers.

okaaaaayy theeen

Not crap, no, because 'crap' is subjective.

He was not as good as Billy?

No, but contributed as much in a tangible sense (no trophies). Net benefit: -£many millions on wages and transfer fees.

Would need to know whether they were sold on for profit etc. But obvious ones there, Cahill / Le Tissier: yes, same tangible benefits to their clubs. Entertaining, yes. Nice memories, definitely. Financial loss, yes. Trophies, none.

 

[longers]

I think Baines has had a fantastic career given he doesn’t even like football

 

[neil999]

does @sageyefc own the boat and @orly the rods?

I'm saying the article is BS.

if we had money we would be able to buy in first and then loan out whoever we wanted on the final day.

that is not how we are operating tho is it.

But the loans will not generate hardly any cash so it is hardly

You've bitten hard here...

It is impossible to argue the point of fact that a player has benefitted a team...even if we were winning titles he would simply ask for a direct correlation of performances and wages and how they affect the trophy wins...

Then how to compare his value? its a perceived value...

Everything is about expectations and perceived values...

Marinate on that...

HAHA mate, what drivel, you are looking to deep into a really basic question, Baines did or did not do as much for Everton as Bilyaletdinov, if you really need to "marinade" on that then you are as daft as the other dude trying to talk the same waffle. Baines did more against West Ham than Billy did in a season.

I'm off for a brew while you digest your stupidy.

Two goals vs six goals, one assist in half a season.

Facts.

Thats why he has played 70 odd games and scored 17 goals in the 4.5 years since he left us!?!? Must still be Davey's fault I guess??

I've batted you out the park

Called out Martinez as a fraud and helped get him sacked

In hindsight because he could no longer do what was needed. We sided with the player not the manager and that was a mistake. Martinez should have sold him to Utd.
