Anyone got a gif of a load of heads rolling about on the floor.

I'm having this year's Mata moment, this time with Giroud tonight.

Not worth worrying abar this till next week now innit.

Tomorrows all abar the footy.

 

[Tony Hibbert's 3rd leg]

Koeman doesn't sound best pleased again. Also not very optimistic him admitting it may be impossible to improve on our finish last year.

Perhaps ramping up the pressure on the board and Walsh once more?

@BlueToff , not.meaning to pick on you but here we are, right before the season begins. Your "we need to be patient", how's that working out?

 

[Blue Parkender]

Do you think?
Goal scoring rate?
I guess it depends on how much we spend on a striker, Zapata is about 25m but, add 50m for Siggy and you'd wonder if we have that cash before we sell players?

Seeing as we have spent nothing really £7mil and are main man promised us all he had £75mil should be there. The tv money is there as well.

I'm not worried even if it's September 1st tomorrow. I've been around for some dreadful transfer windows and this isn't one. Goodison tomorrow where I can escape the bedwetters.

We have Stoke, at home, a tough game, but we have the players able to get a result, I might start to panic if we aint got somebody in before City like, maybe.

Or just being, for once, a realistic manager. All the teams above us are enormous. We can't compete financially with most of them. A couple are vulnerable (RS & Arsenal).

Exactly. What Koeman said was SPOT ON. Everyone else above us has spent money (Spurs?), but we have not. Not a cent. We should AT LEAST drop another 100M on players before the end of the window. Sell McCarthy, sell Niasse, sell Robles, sell Lennon, whatever, but get the players in. Spend 50M on Siggy and leave 50M on a CB and CF. Go cheap on one and big on the other. McCarthy/Niasse/Robles/Lennon sales would get the net spend at around 60M. That's a tolerable investment amount.

The thing is, if he knew what the budget was and we're sticking to it, then he can't really complain.
If, he was told there was more and it's not getting spent, he should say so (seeing as he speaks the truth apparently)?

Should never have sold Lukaku. Absolute shocker of a board room decision. Not one a proper monied club makes.

Yeah we should have. We definitely should have had a replacement in mind (I criticized the board for this earlier), but he would have only caused us problems with 2 years on his deal.

Sold him to one of the clubs we want to chase down as well.

We still have a small club mentality.
