I concur. Tubby Ashley looks to have lost another couple of metres of pace since last season. He eats too many pies and might well be too large (literally) a liability this year.
Should have got Winston Reid last year....A year late.
 
....Monday mornings rumour round-up;

- According to the Daily Mirror, Ross Barkley will have to lower his wage demands and accept a contract lower than that on offer at Everton to joins Spurs. Tottenham have a salary ceiling of less than £100k for top earners like Harry Kane but the paper suggests Barkley is desperate to join the White Hart Lane outfit. The Daily Star reports 6 clubs are now chasing the Toffee's midfielder.

- The Daily Mail, 4th Official and New Zealand Herald say Everton are considering a £9m move for West Ham's Kiwi defender, Winston Reid.

- 4th Official report Brighton interest in Everton striker, Oumar Niasse.

- WalesOnLine suggest Everton are closing in on the signature of Gylfi Sigurdsson from Swansea. The Mirror say Everton will include 19 year old defender Calum Connolly in a cash plus player deal.

- The People report that Olivier Giroud is now Ronald Koeman's no1 target and a £25m deal could be struck if the Frenchman decides to leave Arsenal. The Mirror says Everton have made it clear that they will not be held to ransom over the player and have issued an ultimatum to Arsenal that they will look elsewhere if a deal isn't done in the next 7 days.
 

I don't even know where to start with the first statement. We bought a player that Chelsea didn't want who had been on loan with WBA and Everton for previous 2 seasons and you think that's the greatest and most defining achievement of Everton in the premier league era?

You have a very low opinion of this club and it's efforts in the Premier League.
Exactly
Signing Cleverly was the best Everton moment of the PL era
He was after all in the words of a footballing genius the greatest english player of his generation.

Bobby got lucky with Rom.
He got Lukaku on loan and we were in the right place at the right time to buy Lukaku.
He needed a stepping stone ,we needed a striker
 
Can you imaging the pure and utter sh1t Bobby would have bought if he was given 150 m
We will never know, so don't assume it would be all that bad. Don't forget he signed Lukaku. He also secured Delefeou and gave Barkley a chance. Two damn good signings and development of a quality player. He also signed Funes Mori for just 10m, well worth the dollar. He stuffed up with Niasse, who wasn't even given a go and had he been given a go we probably would have recouped most the funds.

Not to mention Gareth Barry has been our seasons best twice and Mccarthy when fit was one of our most important centrally.

Cleverly was on a free. We made a decent profit on someone useless.
Question how he used Cleverly and why we played Cleverly, not why we signed him. He was a nothing gamble and signing him shouldn't even bare weight on Martinez' ability to sign players ffs.

He still signed Lukaku who wanted a move after the loan to ensure first team football. He could have not had the nerve to sign him and have him rot on Chelsea's bench or go elsewhere. He signed Lukaku, best player signing we've had since Tim bloody Cahill.
 
Can't believe we are less than 12 days before the season starts and we've not even replaced Rom

Fixtures are tough as anything at the start and failure to pick up points against the top sides we play in the first five or six games and you can kiss goodbye to top four.

And who do you suggest we realistically sign to replace Lukaku
I said realistically i.e. Someone we can afford and who would sign for us without CL
 
Ideally by the end of this week:
Sigurdsson before Wednesday
Barkley gone but can see this going to deadline day.

Why sign him if he didn't play him , why waste the wages.
The point was signing Rom was a the high point of the PL era for Everton
It was a no brainer to sign Rom
A proven goal score who Chelsea didn't want and still had his boots in a locker at FF
 
He hardly ever wins a tackle. Decent in the air, but beyond that, he was poor last year.
The thing is I have a feeling Koeman quite likes him, Stones wasn't very good at defending but he's at a team now that attack most of the time so he has to defend less. Our aim should be to try and press and attack more giving the defenders less to do. For years we have been pushed back into defending by many teams and not always the top ones.

Geri never made it (4managers can't be wrong )
Barry was a no brainer
McCarthy went backwards at Everton
Funes Mori robbed the club and is too unpredictable to a quality CH
We will have to agree to differ on Bobbys skill in the transfer market
But for every Lukaku there a McGeady
 
Why sign him if he didn't play him , why waste the wages.

Utter dross. He was a free transfer who wanted to come here. We made a profit which offset any wages on a proven PL player. He wasn't much chop but he was a free. And had Martinez not overrated his capabilities by playing him every week and ridiculously played him on a wing, nobody would have cared that we signed him.


We still had to go out and get Rom. We finished 5th, had something to sell Rom and would have taken some convincing.
