A Paddy Power spokesman said "The £5,000 stake is one of the biggest we've taken this month. The Toffees could be about to leave us a in sticky situation."
While Walcott may sign for us this 5k wager story is an obvious lie.
I just want a LB aged <27 who can replace Baines by the end of next season. We spend the rest of this season giving some playing time to the likes of Lookman, Vlasic, Sandro and Klassen so we can work out exactly what they can do and where they fit into the longterm plans of the club...
Agree with you, I believe he's sincere and I believe in his talent also and thought he showed himself to be more than a one-trick pony last night. Him and Seamus down the right with target-man Tosun in the box...it might just work!
I did my grieving for Barkley quite some time ago and his transfer comes as a relief. My passion for this club can't be dulled by the decisions of this soft lad, I feel sorry for him more than anything, he never gets to be a Blue again.
The only one I'd keep of the 5 you name is Sandro, I don't see how we lose money on him anyways and I don't think he's been given enough time yet.
Klassen can always go back to Ajax, maybe we can get 70p on the pound for him?
I'm cautiously optimistic, seems to have 2 good feet and is a decent finisher, physical enough for the PL and will be desperate to succeed. If he gets good service then he can perhaps be a bright spot for us the rest of the season and beyond.
At this point I'll take any top half finish with no...
