So you can't do it?

You said you would didn't you, you said if we signed Lukaku you'd be very happy and say well done. To be honest I thought you'd be man enough to do, stick to your word and admit you were wrong and say that it's great news that the clubs showing the ambition you've been wanting them to do all along.

Excellent vaulting Sir.

Doesn't matter where the money come from. The 'carpetbaggers' have just paid £23-28 million of real money that could have headed to the BVI.

The carpet baggers spent nothing. They never have done and they never will do.

If you're content to give them a free pass (for allowing a signing like yesterday from the proceeds of past players sales) after 15 years of underinvestment and general failure on the stadium and commercial fronts then you're more forgiving then I am.

Dave, I don't care mate. I support the 11 players on the pitch and I'm buzzing my tits off that we got Rom.

Weren't you saying the money would never be spent?.... We're, hang on....... let me paraphrase you here from 2 days ago.... "masking our inertia by calling a presser for Barkley signing a new deal"?

Kenwrights done something good
But it isn't enough,it's not his money nor the boards. If we signed messi it's not enough the things he done ( sales) the lies he's spun,it takes more than a signing to make it up. And you
Can vault me on this to " we won't win anything with him as chairman" blue or not, because we've signed a class player with potential makes kenwright no saint.

I'm with Davek on my opinions about Bill but you have to be a special kind of anal retentive to be bitter at a time like this.

Your comment about Messi pretty much sums it all up, they'll never do enough for you. I couldn't careless if Kenwrights a blue or not to be honest, that has absolutely no impact on how the clubs run.

The good times are round the corner. I think there'll be a cup in the cupboard come May, I'll be able to enjoy it, unfortunately it doesn't look like you'll be able to.

You don't think a team with Baines, Coleman, Stones, Barkley, Lukaku, Jags, et al can seriously compete for a trophy this season?

Bore off.

I honestly don't think we'll sell anybody of significance. I think RM is building a team here and the extra money allows for stability.

Fair enough they haven't backed managers in the past and yes this was funded from sales. But the financials are completely different now, we should no longer have to sell to fund.

Cant fault the work thats been so far this summer.

But 1 in 14 isnt enough to convince me, considering its come off the back off record TV deals from Sky, BT and others.

But as I say, great job so far.

Watch this space.

Forget money Goat. Forget the board. Do you think we have a good team and can compete?

Compete? LOL, Stoke competes, West Brom competes, we are Everton, we dont compete, we define!!!!!!

Yes, 100%, we have a first 11 I wouldnt swop with anybody in the world, well maybe I would take that Hames fella from Real and that Messi fella from Barca, but thats it.

You know what I meant mate. Do you think we can compete for top 4/cups?

If we get a good back up for Lukaku, yes, defo.

I hear you mate. I think we have a very sound starting IX and the makings of a very good squad. At the moment it's still Chelski, Arsenal and City with the best squads, with ourselves, United, RS and Spurs just below that. A few more additions could change all that.
