Silly Season January 2014

[banno]

this is the RAWK total devolution comments I was talking about, in fact you have perfected it, bravo sir.

Just because someone questions the managers signings doesn't make them any less of a fan than you or a moyes lover, fact is at Wigan he made more bad signings than good hence why they got relegated, and moyes made more good singings than bad whilst here hence why we are challenging for the top 4 despite spending **** all on anything but new lawn mowers thanks to Kenwright. So please grow up mate and learn to take other people's opinions on board rather than go all text book RAWK.

Nonsense. Can you honestly bring in half decent players and offer them a pittance (in comparison) and expect them to accept. Different financial levels. We were streets ahead of Wigan in being able to offer acceptable wages.

 

[meagher94]

I wouldn't. Velios is awful.

How so?

 

[CahillsCornerFlag]

He's on nowhere near that.

What's he on then?

Footy Manager is rarely wrong.

 

[Big Doug]

For such a statement of FACT as you say mate you are totally and utterly wrong, the reason wigan got relegated wasn't anything to do with making bad signings, it was to do with having basically the entire starting defense out injured for a large part of the season, without the defense being decimated through injury they would have stayed up, FACT

whats the excuses for constant bottom half finishes?

I love RM and think he's boss, but this re writing of history by the new RAWK mentality breed of Everton fans is laughable, basically the rule of this breed go as:

"must claim Wigan would have won league without Gary Caldwell injured"
"must claim Moyes was ****e"
"anyone who states differently to the above is a Kopite"

and that's coming from someone who wanted Moyes gone and was made up with Martinez coming in!

How so?

He is just crap and not progressed. He has gone backwards.

 

[Timak]

I don't reckon there's anything to these Jones rumours, but he'd be an improvement on Jelavic and probably for considerably less than the £6-7m Hull are rumoured to have paid for Jela.

If he was just brought in to back Lukaku up while we throw the change left over on the pile for a proper striker in the summer I wouldn't be too gutted.

Disagree.

Jelavic was awful last season yet still scored more goals than Jones has managed in all but 2 of his seasons in the Premier League.

 

[carlos21]

hurry up Everton sign a player please.

I am more than happy to take other people's opinions on board lad just when clowns like you start labelling people Kopites and moyes lovers and anti Martinez for having a different opinion that makes me speak up.

hmmm , i cant see what thats based on. jelavic has hardly had a look in so dont see how vellios could have either.
so we havent had a chance to see his progression. imo during pre season i remember vellios looking lively and pretty good. thats the only time ive seen him this season though.

He really wouldn't.

I'll always stand by that Jelavic suffered a serious, and I mean serious, drop in confidence; he'll bang goals in for Hull, may not be 20 a season man but he'll bang a lot more than Jones.

Jones is an awful, awful footballer

But it doesn't make any difference because he ain't signing

 

[Gwladys Nights]

Disagree.

Jelavic was awful last season yet still scored more goals than Jones has managed in all but 2 of his seasons in the Premier League.

Jelavic scored 7 league goals last year. Jones has bettered that three times (08/09, 09/10, 10/11) and equalled it once (07/08). In each of those four seasons he made fewer appearances that Jelavic did last season.

 

[AaronTheBlue]

Jones is no where near as good as jela.. no where near. Thats coming from the biggest jela critic here.

I don't think I've labeled you a kopite. I did think some of your comments were pedantic and extremely narrow, as many of your comments were quite aggressive and laden will ill intent to the person you were "discussing" the issue with. But nevertheless, I think you give some very good advice.

So please grow up mate and learn to take other people's opinions on board rather than go all text book RAWK.

 

[Eggs]

.....I'm still of the opinion that Jela didn't fit RMs team model, because of that I wouldn't compare him with others. RM wants a certain type of central striker and Jelavich wasn't that.
