Summer Transfer Window 2019

True that, but I remember backing him even when I wasn’t fully invested just to spite people because I didn’t want to admit I was wrong. But I was wrong. He was an absolute piece of turd.

I gave him ages too. I liked having a ‘big name’ as manager.

And probably would again now you know. For a bit anyway.

He’d have been absolutely useless in that Everton side last season.

Better than no striker mate(DCL was not ready at all then).

Big name player not manager. He's an average manager with a big ego.

We’d have made him look garbage by isolating him with Wayne Rooney wheezing around next to him.

While being good players, and Baines was in top 3 in the prem at one point.....but had no balls to go and really prove it.

Jags has never ever been one of the best centre backs.

Even with us, his partner was possibly better than him.

On lescotts departure : they didn’t even buy the best cb at Everton

They did! Lescott was Rolls Royce

Same here, I felt he could have eventually turned it around - but I accept there were bigger problems around the club that jeopardised any stability being set in. Notably Walsh, we just weren’t in a position to buy ourselves out of the mess, not after the summer prior to the down turn in results.

Read an article about Rooney just now and he was contracted with us until this summer originally wasn’t he?

I imagine if the above is true, we would be still contributing a certain amount of his wages until the summer - which bodes well for us given Jags & Baines wages fall off the books.

That’s got to free up at least £200k per week.

I thought the fee was minimal, but DC was picking all the salary up. Keep in mind Man U was already paying for a lot of it.

Found that to be true on my recent visit to GP. All the staff could do was to say what a rude and self centred man he was. The story was that on the day he got fired he walked out of the building and drove off - nary a word of thanks to the staff. Apparently Irwin came in and apologized for his brothers rudeness and thanked them all for him. [Poor language removed]

I could be wrong but he was on £300k p/w at Utd and I think we were paying £150k p/w when we got him. I did think we were paying a portion of the wages. Think the low fee was just to get shut of the excessive wages.

DC has a good beat writer and I could've sworn DCU are it all. I'll look it up if I can.

I can't believe we loaned Valencia from westham

Youve still got the same problem of an unbalanced midfield.
