  1. He went to discuss deals with a few clubs. None of them went through.
  2. He has manages a paltry 170 matches in his career. 16 matches last season, 11 the before. And his record isn't inspiring either, 36 goals in those 170 games, so about one goal in six matches. He's never managed double numbers (nine goals in two separate seasons is his best). He's not a target man either so I can't see the point.
  3. We paid a lot of money for Gibson, I'd expect him to be the planned replacement for Baines.
  4. So you want to sign a young player of Lukaku's quality? Don't we all but I fear they all want to go to bigger clubs. We already have three young strikers at the club.
  5. Why do we need someone younger? At 29 a player is at his prime.
  6. He should also be useful against teams that park the bus. Even the top teams often struggle to break these teams down, set pieces is a good way because there's just not much room in open play.
  7. Agree with Newty there. RS struggle when opponents play deep and deny their forwards space. And especially if they loose Coutinho to Barca they will lack creativity. It does look great when opponents try to play high, like we did under Martinez.
  8. Klaassen can also rotate with Gana while Sigurdsson might be able to play LWB when Baines needs a break (team would play 3-5-2).
  9. Some Icelandic midfielder who apparently is quite good at set pieces.
  10. Main issue is that the players we have signed and are most strongly linked with (Sigurdsson and Giroud) are not very quick, apart from Sandro perhaps. The assumption being that they will be first choice rather than Mirallas and Lookman. Team composition is definitely different from that lot's, we are not going to play in a similar style. Counter-attacks won't be as devastating. On the other hand packed defenses make pace much less effective and to me it looks like this is something Koeman is trying to build against. Both Sandro and Rooney are good at shooting from distance and Sigurdsson is one of the best set-piece takers in PL and also good from the range.
  11. That other Rui Pedro plays for Porto and if you read the tweet it mentions Porto, not Ferencvaros.
  12. There doesn't seem to be anything else anywhere else about this transfer so I wouldn't count on it just yet.
  13. Which Rui Pedro is that? There's a 19-year old Rui Pedro who has played some 40 games in total, last season 9 league matches scoring 2. You must be mistaking him for the Rui Pedro playing for Ferencvaros. Someone already updated his Wikipedia page it seems: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rui_Pedro_(footballer,_born_1998)
  14. They have had shitloads of money to do it which is more important than winning at any cost. Would you really like to support a club like Liverpool?
  15. How would we differ from that other lot if that was our mentality? I have always held Everton is about more than just winning.
  16. Who do you think you are telling other people what to enjoy in a football match or how to watch it?
  17. I would tell you to fuck off but I think I would be banned. What a condescending piece of crap that comment was.
  18. They can't play every match if we qualify for group stages in the EL. With cup games we are looking well above 50 games for this season. 38 league matches, 2 EL qualifying matches, 2 EL knockout matches, 8 EL group matches, 1 League Cup and 1 FA Cup is the minimum in that case. I would hope there'd be at least another 5 or so games on top of that (or we have a crap cup year) so it could be closer to sixty games - and with good cup runs it could go above that. What if we go far in the EL and are still in the hunt for a top four spot come April? On top of league matches there could be four EL matches (quarter and semi-finals).
  19. With Suarez you have to accept shit will happen. He will try to hurt someone, or at least chew them.
  20. He played 28 league matches and scored ten goals last season and the same amount of matches season before but only scored five. So I'd say he hasn't lived up to his reputation lately.
  21. This is way better than everyone listing "Goofy McFoobly on deadline day for 320 million." for several pages. That was boring as shite unless you like those Facebook thingies with pirates.
