His career stats to date will have him in the top 26 PL assists of all time if he carries on, on the same trajectory. He needs 16 more to be in the top 50. If all his Premier League assists had come at Everton then he'd currently be our third...
With all due respect Brighton are a nothing club and are simply happy being self sufficient and running a steady ship. That sounds disrespectful but they’ve never had aspirations to evolve and be successful. We’ve had a long proud history of...
Age was far less of a factor for Barry than it is Grealish. Barry never had pace, pace was in his speed of thought. He sat and dictated play and there’s far more longevity in that kind of player. Grealish running the channels and relying on pace...
It’s very straight forward. If you don’t offer the big wages you don’t get to sign the top quality players it’s that simple. It’s all well and good Jacko saying the other day here that we won’t offer the big wages anymore because we’ll go bust...
You could say that for any player in their late 20’s early 30’s then so why target any of them? Not sure that’s the case anyway I’d imagine it’s a small minority who’d take that attitude but that’s where you do your homework and look in to the...
This is the issue some people had with Moyes returning and the kind of pragmatic coach/person he is. He’s basically admitting here that he’d prefer older players who are already at their peak but they ain’t interested in a project, but the...
We’re desperate for an injection of quality in central midfield. We get overrun in the middle of the park in just about every game we play. It’s such an important area of the team and it needs addressing and sharpish.
Is it just us that shifted him over to the left though? His most impressive season in terms of goals and assists was in the Championship where according to this, he played completely down the middle. Striker, second striker/10 and attacking...
I agree and this is the comfort blanket for me if it doesn’t come off. It might simply be an opportunist move after being told he was available, but you’re totally correct, our current best attacking player has Fofana’s position nailed down. Yes...
Need to sort those blue dot lights out. One has blown out and gone green and sticks out like a sore thumb, and the few after it are weird elongated shapes compared to the others. Sorry, but it looks a mess.
“Always something to moan about”...
They scored one goal from their own work. Two of their goals were gift wrapped by stupid lapses of concentration . One of those by a player playing completely out of position due to lack of availability of our senior centre halves. It was nowhere...
Pickford? That was very telling. Both he and Moyes came out last night publicly bemoaning the size of the squad and that wouldn’t have gone unnoticed. For all the “we’re not going to make mistakes in the market” stuff from Kinnear yesterday, the...
