[DrEFC]

Looks like my much earlier joke "We'll go with what we've got", won't be coming true after all.

*taps nose*

we'll actually be going with LESS

From players I consider "first team"

That list includes thirteen players out of the33 listed that came through the academy or were signed as 18/19 year olds and have progressed rapidly.

It creates a large and unusual problem at this level of football.
Putting out a team every week that can win while at the same time giving young lads experience.

We talk about a bloated squad but really it is because of the success of the academy more than going wild in the transfer market.
We bought badly in the summer of 2017 but in the January 2017 transfer window we had a huge clear out then as well.

He played 33 games last season with 9 coming off the bench, scoring 2 goals and 5 assists.

Mkhitaryan played 21games coming off the bench 5 times, scoring 2 goals and 6 assists.

Aubameyang played 13 games coming on once as a sub scoring 10 goals and 4 assists.

Hell, Walcott played 5 times in the Europa leauge for arsenal and got 3 goals and 2 assists.

Wilshere is a absolute myth of a player. This season was the first time he had scored for arsenal in something like 3 seasons. He was no where near arsenals best player at any point last season.

I don't get why you are quoting goalscoring records of 3 attacking players against a defensive midfielder, that's abit odd

not everyone rates wilshere to be fair, I rate him highly and think he's brilliant but to say he's a myth is strange

and he had a really really good spell at the latter end of the season where week in and out he was there best player

The problem is, im not totally convinced that the majority of those yoots are even of the required standard

 

[Kinky Koeman]

Reports that Fulham have had a bid accepted for Seri. Hell of a signing that if they pull it off, one i would be very jealous of. Champions League quality.

They look very light on numbers, be interesting how they recruit as owned by a wealthy chap.

newsnow sites are so sneaky with their clickbait these days 'rapid everton attacker agrees terms' some bloke from everton u18s! lol

 

[Kinky Koeman]

My fear is he might die because he constantly looks like he might die.

There we go. Turns out I am worried about West Ham. I’m worried about their manager passing away.

Bahahahahahahahaha

It`s a bit like the "innocent " links to humping dogs lol

I’m dead relaxed about it all and think we will end up stronger when the window closes.
The one slight niggle I have is why the players we need to get rid of are in Austria. Brands said he was having frank conversations with the people that didn’t have a future and yet the likes of Mirallas, Williams etc are training with the squad. Before brands and silva came in they must have had a fairly decent idea of who they wanted and didn’t want, surely those players would have been told to stay home and train at finch farm until they’ve found new clubs? What’s the point in them being there if they have no future?

To ensure they are fit and ready to move to a team, would be my guess.

Additionally they may just be gwrrring assessed and we are reviewing them prior to making the decisions. All guess work, I’m sorry:

also, leaving them at home would weaken our hand in transfer negotiations.
