Confirmed Signing Richarlison

[Sheedy's right knee.]

A genuine question here; when a new manager makes one of his former players a top priority, how often does it work out for the better? McCarthy was (from memory) the first target for Bobby and Schneds for Ron, just sayin'

McCarthy

Can’t believe we’ve waited until the sun comes up to announce a signing ffs Kenwrong.

McCarthy

Mccarthy was class in his 1st season and if he would have stayed clear of injury he would been a great signing. Unfortunately injuries haven’t been fair to him.

I don’t remember anyone thinking that with Lukaku personally, I just remember mass excitement that we were paying that much (how times change) for a very good footballer

The media were all over it saying we have paid far too much and he wasn't worth it. Fans alike.

If I remember correctly he tore us a new arse last year at Goodison. How the hell we got a result that day is beyond me. I’ve got a good feeling about Silva and I think this lad could be the real deal. He grafts aswell and as the other poster stated he signed for Watford in the middle of the Brazilian league season.

Didn't Gomes(?) go off injured, and their back up keeper was awful, and Cleverley missed a penalty.

There's a thread somewhere with posters saying they wouldn't pay the £28m for him. So had they made the call, we wouldn't have signed him at all.

This Richarlison deal isn't the same as that though. Lukaku had two full years of very good PL performance behind him and it was blindingly obvious he'd do well and we'd make a huge profit. That was as low-risk a transfer as you'll see, for the price. This deal is pretty high-risk as he has only a few months' genuinely good PL performance.

Yeah, they did and I think they missed a great chance to make it 3-0

I concur.

For anyone who hasnt seen their forum...

This is fabulous.

That was great. I particularly enjoyed the detour into 9/11 conspiracy and Alex Jones videos.

Those crazy cats.

Yes but we did come from 2 goals down following Oumars introduction. I think Oumar had a hand in the injury to Gomez too.

We were made fun of because we paid 3 times what LFC paid for Origi who at the time was starting over Lukaku for Belgium. Seriously

He is/was bang average and was fit for the first 2 1/2 seasons. Stop using injuries as an excuse. He’s not good enough and never will be.

The lad can’t rven pass forward and people are making out he’s top class. Everton fans love midfield cloggers though. McCarthy Fellaini Gueye are all worshipped whilst Osman Pienaar Arteta Besic Davies all have taken far more criticism just for daring to try and play football.
