Ronald Koeman discussion

[Khalekan]

We're as bad as everybody else below the top 6 except we have a 30 million pound striker upfront. We played Watford Hull and Swansea three of the worst sides in the league and scraped 2 points. The top 6 are miles ahead, fortunately for us our nearest challengers seem to be Soton and WBA who are both pretty poor too so we can hope for an outside Europa spot.

Add Palace to that and there is a paltry three points against four of the worst sides

This is why I say it is disgraceful we are so far behind the team in sixth place.

Because "nothing is the same"?

That's what we were told anyway...

All the whingeing on here is the same.

Last one on this (Andy Jonston cost 10.5 by the way).

It never, we lost all that profit with the losses we made on Yakubu, Richard Wright and Heitinga alone, never mind the other losses such as Billy, Kroldrup, Davies etc.

The profit we will make on Lukaku will dwarf any losses we make on transfer fees in Martinez's reign and Moyes's reign put together and then leave us with a bit to play with.

Players like Cahill, Pienaar, Martyn Arteta and numerous other bargain buys saved us shed loads of money. The profit from Stones will never be beaten again I don't think. We even nearly doubled Fellaini money. Overall Moyes buys were deffo in the positive, Lukaku will no doubt save Martinez's record but he will still go for a less than we expect.

No. You are wrong.

I mean, he's not wrong at all is he Friend? He's absolutely right.

Well stop adding to it then.

No doubt United have a far better squad than us.

But that has no bearing on the fact we have won three matches since the middle of September and dropped points against the two teams filling the bottom two places in recent weeks.

Unfortunately we are now having to live with the new normal.....in which "best of the rest" means winning the 7th Place Trophy rather than the 5th Place Trophy.

This year I'd be happy with 7th. If we move up the table by 4 places each year then that's good progress. No?

It's hardly as though we can just praise this team all the time is it? What have they done that deserves praise?

 

[Hangleton]

Well stop adding to it then.

And leave it to agenda bores like you?

Where will we at the end of the third year

It is good you have the self awareness to recognise you are as much a whinger as everyone else.

Good man

Moyes was excellent in the transfer market in general, I don't think anyone disputes that, although with big money he wasn't great.

I think some of us are concerned about Koeman being given the war chest we've waited 20+ years for.

Spending big money can be very hard to get right. His 2 big buys up to now are nothing to write home about at all and more worrying is the near misses we had.

I just don't trust him to be honest.

It's nice to come on here on a sunny morn and see Everton fans united as one.

You think it's fun is it you want reaction?

The "No, you are wrong" quote I pointed out boris was wrong because he said AJ costed £10.5m not the line you quoted from boris.

Reported.

Champions obvs.

No, it's been pretty dire watching most of the time. Things have to improve - but that will take time.
