  1. I haven’t seen a lot of him but whenever I have, I’ve been very impressed. Very fast - hit and miss with his end product however his assist stats this season suggest otherwise.
  2. Likely to miss 3 weeks after picking up a muscle injury away on international duty.
  3. https://twitter.com/henryconyekuru/status/976475901524434944?s=21
  4. He’ll go to Spurs and Rose will go to United - Shaw will have played under Pochettino before and Rose will get the big money move he wanted last summer. I’d be surprised if there was any other outcome.
  5. He’s stated 4 managers he doesn’t want - I hope he’s not joking!
  6. I think DCL has a lot to offer in the game. I personally see a bright future for him at EFC - next season, under the right management could be massive for him. Let’s not forget, he didn’t have a pre-season last year after winning the World Cup and was played as a lone striker for the most part in a toothless team. He’s already made rapid progress and I expect even more.
  7. No, people who rate him are saying he would have been talked of at a much higher level had it not been for the injuries that have halted his incredible potential early in his career. He went to Bornemouth on the back of hardly playing for over 2 years - I personally respect that decision as it would have been easier for him to sit on the bench for Arsenal. He’s obviously not going to attract the very top teams now but to think a fully fit Wilshere wouldn’t improve Everton suggests you haven’t seen us play much in the past couple of years.
  8. He played 27 last season and has played 31 in all comps so far this season. Yes he’s had a bad run with injuries in his short career so far but maybe that’s behind him and his best years are yet to come. £8m sign-on and say £100k a week seems ridiculous but sadly it’s a drop in the ocean with the billions you see in this league nowadays. Based on 3 seasons we’d be looking at a £24m outlay - 3 decent seasons and we’d recoup that easily. 3 shite seasons... well we’ve spent more on worse recently!
  9. Completely different players - Walcott is explosive. You’re right though - purely based on footballing ability e.g passing, control, vision, creativity, intelligence and what they do with the ball - they are miles apart. Wilshere is a much better footballer. If Wilshere didn’t have his injury problems then we wouldn’t even be mentioned - it’d be Man C, Barca, Real. Regardless, I think this is nothing more than his agent touting him about to force Arsenal’s hand.
  10. He’s a billionaire accountant so probably understands this side of it so I wouldn’t worry!
  11. Unless he’s assistant, then you’d hope he’s sat next to him so pretty near.
  12. I personally think he’s very good. I’d have him over any cb we have currently.
  13. https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/everton-eyeing-jack-wilshere-free-12180795 Still think he’ll stay at Arsenal.
  14. If it’s Gana coming in for Siggy, I’d expect Davies to play the more advanced role of the 3.
  15. I certainly didn’t see any examples. Maybe we’re just a classier bunch us Toffees!
  16. Gutted for Gylfi but this could be a massive opportunity for Klaassen to salvage something from what’s been a horror of a first season for him.
  17. Unless of course his current manager is on his way to us too. Then it would make perfect sense!
  18. Davies was very poor though. He looked lost for the most part.
  19. The fact is that you can’t see his qualities. All on here accept he has limitations but to say he’s not good enough goes against the opinion of most at the club, most fans, most pundits and probably most of his teammates - hey, maybe you and peteO have it spot on but I personally doubt it based on what I see week in and week out.
  20. He has but his inability to use his left foot constantly kills attacks, takes the tempo out of our play and puts us under unnecessary pressure. He’s given his all - fair play to him - but he should never be used as a left back here again.
  21. Agree completely and I think we’ve got to replace him with Johnny Evans in the summer - will be available for £3m when WBA go down. I think Man C have moved on now and maybe a London move wouldn’t appeal to a family man at his age. He may not be the most glamorous of signings but Jag’s importance should not be underestimated and, for me, Evans fit the bill as the perfect like for like replacement with character etc.
  22. I questioned whether he was playing with his eyes closed.
