Summer Transfer Window 2019

[The Penny Blue]

Wow. Looks like he ran the show against the mighty Trinidad & Tobago. Let’s sign him up!

[Poor language removed]. A weak opponent still doesn't take away his vision to see the passes he made and his ability to put the passes on a dime for the whole game. I get you're just playing rile the yank up but don't take away from his talent.

Why is announcing Gomes of Andre, taking so long?

Everton signing expected ‘immediately’, documentation is done, may happen today - Sport Witness

Andre Gomes to Everton is the transfer deal that just won’t get over the line. The Portuguese midfielder has been close to joining the Blues permanently for much of this month. As far as most are concerned, Everton and Barcelona have agreed to a deal. The player also wants to return to Goodison...

...I presume a dime is a small coin. We have a similar expression here, it’s a very good one.

Positional awareness is the wording you are looking for

No trying to refer to how he played 7 different positions last season with Shalke and he was supposed to play CM as an 8 role but has been moved into the 10.

Martinez’s second was dreadful, 28 points going into March. People just assume it was an 11th place mid-table bore of a season but that was not the case at all. We pulled ourselves clear with good form in the last 7/8 weeks.

did the same last year .. but im not allowed to point that out

And now instead of a manager who can't pick a position for him he has one who has only shown to he completely out of his depth in the top flight. Brilliant.

No rush mate.

He’s still on his hols really.

So you don’t get more time and space against poorer opponents with lower fitness levels? Ok

Arsenal look set to sign Dominik Szobszlai for £15m. Really wanted him at Everton for a while now as he looks to be a more mobile Gylfi

Well yes it absolutely does take away from it doesn't it? That's why players who are a million years past their best (or never even had a best) go over to the MLS and the like and rip it up, because everyone they're playing against is utter rubbish. There's really a very big - and obvious - difference between looking good against poor sides and looking good against good ones.

T&B have tons of fitness. One of their teams requirements seems to be that you need to be able to run 7 miles a game. To me that still very minimally affects his ability to see and make those passes. You could put anyone on the training ground and have them run through drills with no pressure and they still will miss a decent amount. Weston was over 90% on the night and would be a shame if you said that they were low skill passes

Are you off your nut? It took this place 8 years to learn how to spell Mirallas
