Jose Baxter

[dead_soft]

signing Baxter is no more bizarre than giving Gibson another 2 years so this contract doesn't surprise me one bit think it's to make up the number after we sell players in the summer tbh

Not a huge fan of a lot of things at Everton, it seems?

Just want the club to do well, not be a nice 'people's club'

Can't do both?

Ermm...

You think we're signing an ex-youngster with a drug problem who has since played at league one level to make up numbers when we sell players?

Really?

Mate I use to be an addict myself, can only speak from my own experience's but myself was to blame and I had ruined my life in many ways.
It is a long road to recover and nobody should do it alone but I have no sympathy from a millionaire squeezing money from our club.

Winning first, we haven't won anything in far too long.

If the club doesn't retain a human side and just concentrates on doing well and nothing else I would lose some enthusiasm for following it.

I know, but that doesn't mean the club can't conduct itself in a positive way at the same time does it?

Resigning Jose Baxter, for example, will have zero impact on anything we do in terms of achievement.

Not sure he's a millionaire or squeezing money from the club. I don't know the details totally, but we clearly want to help somebody who lost his way. I can't see anything wrong with that whatsoever.

I wish him the best and want him to be clean, just think the club shouldn't get involved unless it's EITC. Why not pay for his coaching badges and allow him to learn and teach people at non professional level? and if he does well over 5 years give him a go at u18s and work way up.

I'd rather be crying at Wembley watching us win the FA Cup for the fourth time on tbe run, than give this lout a contract.

I love how apparently the club have put on hold any plans of winning anything in order to sign Jose Baxter.

Do you reckon they held a board meeting about deciding between winning four FA cups or giving Baxter a contract?

Honestly some of the stuff in this thread is hilarious

This just shows the type of club we are - one with morales. I'm very proud of Everton for looking after somebody who clearly couldn't deal with the highs of being 'the next big thing' or just a good footballer in the spot light.

Once again, our class and values shine through in a financially cut throat driven industry.

Whats Philip Green got to do with it?

I hope if I ever lose my job because I've been done doing lines and subsequently lose my home, car, etc that Everton will bail me out and pay my debt because I'm ONE OF US.

I've got my little gold loyalty badge and everything. That qualifies me, doesn't it?

'One of us' ha.. sounds like something Liverpool fans would say.

You're a Professional Footballer by trade then lad? You did your time in the Everton academy? No. So why would they want you if you asked? I'm not saying what you think I'm saying. No matter what you think of me or any previous post I've ever made, I'm no Redshite.
