If true that Pickford bid has me worried. We have so called money and yet were messing around yet again.? £8m is just stupid.
So you're just accepting it as true so you can piss the bed
I said IF TRUE!. But to be fair, it's something we probably would do so.
People judging him on his England U20 performances are wide of the mark. He's hardly had any game time this season due to his stand off at Chelsea. For the last 5 years he's been regarded as the best English striker in his age group and he's had some decent competition with he likes of Armstrong and Abraham, the latter only getting ahead if him in the pecking order during the last 12 months, probably due to his stand off. DCL has also only come to the fore in the same period and he's had a lot of premier game time this season.
Playing ability wise I'd have been happy had we gone for this lad. But for me, he has this contract stand off issue hanging over his head, and that just raises question marks over his attitude. The lower leagues are full of promising young talent who never made it to the very top due to attitude.

Did I say stand out? Said useful mate.4 assists in 16 appearances isn't 'almost every game' mate. In over 1000 minutes of football he put in 4 crosses or passes which were good enough to score from. In the 16 appearances he has been substituted off 6 times - which shows he hasn't got the quality to take us forward.
I've gone on about his crossing, passing and shooting statistics many times on here before, they are terrible - people are blinded by a little trick here and a little flick there. He wasn't and isn't a stand-out performer for us and never will be. We overpaid by £10m even in this current market.

And also you mean to tell me that if I go back I won't see him involved in just about every other goal for our first 3 months? And actually Everton have put out a few highlight videos month by month, he's involved in just about everything. And the reliability of stats is amazing as a backup point - he's about as bad as Schneiderlin if we just look at stats.
In fact no, Schneiderlin is absolute turd - 1 goal, 0 assists, subbed in 5 times, subbed out 2 times, only played 1000 minutes as well. Overpaid for him, sack the board, sack the fans, sack everyone.
But that's not the case, is it?
Useful player who is extremely frustrating but could also produce a bit of magic, and tends to put a shift in every time = Bolasie.
What about the two sitters he set up in his first 20 minutes as an Everton player vs WBA.
Or the host of other chances he created that Barkley, Gueye, Lukaku, Mirallas all squandered off the top of my head in the coming games.
The possible Atletico news is interesting. Has major repercussions for several teams - not least us, as Costa has said he won't go anywhere other than Atletico. Will they shelve Lukaku for another season as a result?
And will we now get Sandro?

Stats are everything, after all.Squandered assists don't count as assists, and the fact remains he isn't very good at crossing. It's not an opinion, that's a fact. He isn't very good at shooting, passing or crossing according to all the stats we have on him.
His shooting accuracy in the Premier League is a quite worrying 22% (according to the actual Premier League website) his passing accuracy is 73% according to Squawka. He has never scored more than 5, or assisted more than 6 in an entire Premier League season. His crossing accuracy in his last season at Crystal Palace was 18.1% - all of these REMARKABLY LOW statistics should have set alarm bells ringing but nope... We went and wasted £26m on him. He is 28 years old, in his prime, a winger whose ONLY attribute is speed and now with a severe knee injury.
Biggest waste of money Everton have spent in the Premier League era.
