In an ideal world, this would be what happens in every transfer window. However, we find ourselves in a position where the playing squad has already undergone massive upheaval which has left a lot of work to be done.
Like I said when you were...
"Well I've not been to the ground myself, but my grandad was from the area, and was a big red...Whereabouts did he live? Erm, Meols I think? I looked it up and its only a few miles from Anfield as the crow flies."
Maybe it's just me, but in all the many, many games I've been to over the years, and not just Everton games, only time I've ever took food to a game with me has been on away coach days with Marine. I've never bought food in a ground, and haven't...
How come there's never any young Man City fans on here? Every single one I've encountered online has been around forever and witnessed all the misery.
Is it a bit like when every red from Basingstoke has a grandad who was scouse?
There will also be players the big clubs were interested in but bombed when bought by another club therefore dodging a bullet.
Clubs with money would rather get a 50m sure thing than take a 10m chance.
Yeah, it makes no sense. There's thousands of players over the years who have made a big money move to a top club, when the same top club could have gotten them much cheaper at an earlier time.
Some examples:
Dzeko to Wolfsburg for 4 million...
No thanks. That was Moshiri's MO. "You're happy at Swansea Ash? Okay, how about 60k a week? No? 70k a week? 75k a week? 75k a week for 3 years even though you're 32? How about a big fat loyalty fee on top? Yes? Fantastic, what a deal for £11...
"Several" is ambiguous. You originally had him saying "a couple" though Dave. He also says shortly after he says "several " that hopefully we'll see a "few things done this week."
It's just the vagaries of language and he's clearly speaking off...
I'm happy with this signing.
Gives us options to change things up, if nothing else.
It'll be great to be at a point where we can make subs that change a game.
It's propaganda imo. They're basically asking for a thumbs up or a thumbs down. They cynic in me reckons they knew fully well that it would get more thumbs down.
