So my ban has just been lifted.

Apparently me false-celebrating 'Get in!' against Bolton (when we infact hadn't scored) warrants a 48hr ban.

Kin'ell, remind me to never get involved in a Mexican wave at a pre-season friendly!

So no humour allowed but I can post negative, pessimistic content here ten times per day and be welcomed in open arms.

Got it.

'Everton are crap, proppa dire. Worst run club ever. Booooooooooo'

How am I doing?

Hi mate.

@hktoffee was the one who reported you, he was bragging about it as well.

I think at this point we are better gambling than using money to back guaranteed losers. Both those strikers have worse stats than Maupay.

As mentioned in the last post, Maupay scored 4 less goals in 3 years than Richarlison. Richarlison goes to Spurs and is now considered a huge flop and laughed at. Profiles suit club's. Maupays doesn't fit ours.

Nacho and Adams fit our system (strong, quick, willing runners, bring midfield into play) that you can squeeze 5 or 6 goals a season out of. They'll be effective while Dominic Andy Carroll struggles to make the side.

I'm all for getting younger fresh unknowns in. But our finances and general environment isn't the best

Feel sorry for Richie. He hasn’t really had chance. Even spurs fans say he hasn’t been given a chance. But anyway he isn’t our player no more so end of that.

I agree with your points players do suit certain systems. Players you mentioned do suit what we are looking to do. The only difference is the level of quality. We need are strikers and wide players to get at least 10 goals, to stay clear of the drop.

Iheanacho would be a really useful squad member in my view and could add 7 or 8 goals to our tally next season. Adams would be a mistake, though. The chances are we'd be forced to use him as first choice number 9 for large portions of the campaign and he simply isn't good enough

Blagging we scored in a match thread? Yeah, top class humour.... The BANTZ. Hilarious...

To be clear, it didn't suspend you in isolation - it added to a warning you already had to trigger a suspension.

Warning System
30 Points = Suspended for 2 Days.
60 points = Suspended For 7 Days.
80 points = Suspended For 14 Days.
100 points = Permanently Banned.

The most common warnings are;

Inappropriate Language: 5 points
General Behaviour Warning: 20 points
Off Topic: 5-20 points
Minor Spamming: 20 points
Posting Abusive/Offensive Material: 60 points
Spammed Advertisements: 100 points
10 and 20 point infractions expire after 30 days, the rest after 45 days.

I've just given you another warning for being off topic, and if you carry on;

Someone ask Al for some updates, get this transfer thread back on track.

He’s mourning the loss of Sinead O’Connor mate.

While it would be deeply demoralising if Maupay starts against Fulham, I'd rather the club take a little bit longer if it means getting everything lined up and getting the right player in. The future of our club is at stake here, and that's too important to rush things just to keep fans happy

Agree.

But the problem is, all the players we appear to deem as "right" seem to join other clubs. We might run out of options.

Lampard also didn't want him

Syrup · July 28, 2023

Opinions on Marcos Leonardo as the new striker. My only objection would be the time it would take to adjust to the PL from Brazil.

No objections. Get him in assuming he doesn’t have any undesirable traits like underage desires or woman beating or the like

It'll be Iheanacho. We'll delay it as late as possible by chasing lost causes before a last minute bid which Leicester will agree because they'll just want rid.

This is the most painfully accurate post I’ve seen in ages, only thing that not spot on is Leicester fleecing us

Are we linked with this lad?

If links with Gray leaving are real, we need to force that through as quick as possible to move on to our targets.

Right now, we need a Forward, a CM and a CB.

Didn’t realise Adama Traore was a free agent. Not the most prolific but from the RW has a goal/assist every 3.5 games or so (according to transfermarkt). I assume most wouldn’t want him though.

Also James is free. Bring a blue home.

Traore for me is only the wages as he would probably want a decent high wage. Yeah he ain’t prolific with his final delivery or goals. But for someone to come on for the last 20 mins when defending a lead, gives you that explosive pace to get up the pitch and potentially kill the game. Like he did for wolves against us last season.
