Kopites alert

Season ticket holder of 36 years been to more games than you have hot dinners ive got no animosity towards lakaku but he doesn't want to be here anymore. Face facts he wants to be at a so called big club hopefully he will fire us into the champions league and then go and play europa league at a big club. My point is he thinks he's to big for Everton he is basically saying we lack ambition and the players he plays with aren't good enough. I've seen lots of players think they are too good for Everton. But they are gone retired and forgotten about. I'm still in my same seat in the top balcony ive had since 1982. One player does not make a team and if he was to Go tomorrow it would not make a jot of difference to me I want to see players commited to the club.oh I'm in the mons before home matches I'm the 17stone bald fella by the bar ask for ste and call me a kopite and I'll put you straight xx

Agents are getting too much power. An interesting side-effect: here in Belgium a team has blatantly lost from another team. Including ridiculous own goal and sneering defender who made the own goal. The result is that another team drops from the first division. Now they think that it was arranged like that because of an agent owning multiple players in team x and y. It is assumed he clearly didn't fancy seeing all his players from team x relegate; so he asked the players from y to play extremely bad.

Those networks of football agents can basically order the players around since they decide about their career. The problem is it's very difficult to proof this.

I know what you're saying but it's not hard to get a new agent.

And, anyway, there are too many people involved that conspiracy and it'd be extremely difficult to arrange.
 

I saw on toffeeweb the Hull game being referred to as full of Tony Cottee goals i.e. They were piled on late and were meaningless.
So I thought I would do a check against ,Romelu
15 of his 21 goals this season were Essentially meaningless to the result
He's earned us 10 points this season, of which 3 have been against the top ten
Coleman has earned us 5, Barry 4, Mirallas 6.

What goal is meaningful or meaningless is so hard to judge. Technically that might be correct about Hull, however if we didn't score a couple more and demoralise then who knows whether they would have mounted a late charge for an equaliser.

I shouldnt discredit your hard work tho just like that. Sorry. :)
 

Evertonians showed their class at the game yesterday. Had that been the Kopites in the same situation I don't think he'd have had the same response.

It was the right thing to do, as all of us agreed with the sentiment of what he said. the player himself must have been slightly wary of the reception he was going to receive yesterday, but fortunately we're Blues and we bother to read beyond the headlines..it must have made him fell good to hear us chanting his name, and who knows it might help him conclude that this is his club. It made me proud to be a Blue that, well done all.

One more late goal yesterday would have put us above Arsenal, I'd argue they're all meaningful in the long run.

Question for the maths buffs

In 1996 Alan Shearer went to Newcastle for 15 Million

Owing for inflation, how much would he have gone for today?

Keen to work out if Shearer's 60 million shout would make Lukaku comparatively cost more than he did 20+ years back
Click to expand...
15(1+i)^21=todays value of 15 mio over 21 years at an inflation rate i (UK's inflation on average has been about 2.5%)
so 15(1+.025)^21 = 25.19
so, 15mio back in '96 has an inflation adjusted value today of 25.19mio.

Obviously, football transfer fees have appreciated waaaaay higher than the consumer price index!!!
