Unless Aurier is crocked....why aren't we signing him?

 

[davek]

Must be the one they have in the boardroom

The one in the boardroom has Ancelotti's face on it.

Chris. I am seriously concerned about you now.

This is David Icke levels of delusion.

"Benitez controls the media".

?

Never said he controls the media Dave, you really need to take on board what people write.

I said he USES the media

The one in the boardroom has the Everton badge on it, it’s a metaphor for what they’re doing to the club.

Crap at his job

Good at eating steak wraps, lifting and taking holidays

 

[nsno-chris]

He's got a dart board with Benitez's face on it.

I haven’t Dave. I got a load of bog paper with his face printed on instead.

I enjoy wiping my arse on his face

I think you're overestimating his powers though.

He probably has good relationships with a couple of fawning ex-Echo hacks who are now in the national media, but all top managers have their go-to journalists who push hard for them.

He probably wants enormous wages. I would have him but only on our terms, and he might not agree to our terms.

Then play Kenny than sign some Watford reject who hasn't found a club a month after the window shut.

I think you’re underestimating his influence.

Let’s just wait and see; when things start going wrong we’ll count the number of articles published by his friends and the amount of blaming he gives in his interviews.

We did that last night. Look how that worked. The lad is just not good enough.

Or Holgate too until Jan.

Don't see why we'll fall into another trap of Cuco Martina mark 2 when we can look to buy in Jan

In fact...get him back ffs

 

[Efcjake]

As usual he's protected whilst the idiot masses blame manager after manager.

Wake up bloody Guardiola wouldn't do anything with the squad this fella has built

Wrong.

I blame both.

Also where was this "bloody Guardiola wouldn't do anything with the squad this fella has built" staunch defence when Carlo was in the dugout.

You are the one who doesn't get to have it both ways pal.

 

[radiostar]

That is proper brands.

"Coleman won't get injured.
"Oh he's injured and his back up is league one level"
"I better spring into action"

Riding into town in his pinstripe suit and his smarmy look thinking he's the godfather. "make me an offer i cant refuse" "Iwobi on a free? How about we add 30 million and we have a deal"

He's highly political as a manager.

He wont be left in a position where he's to blame if there's any to be aportioned.

In this scenario at Everton though held be right to resist any future blame coming his way: the club told him there'd be cash to spend - unfortunately they forgot how pathetic Brands is at selling players; he cant be blamed for the years of mis-governance of Everton which means he has a low quality squad (low quality if you want top 6/7 places).

He has every right to be given the time and patience to slowly deconstruct and build up the squad again.
