Lanolin's latest activity

To be fair wed all be wingening and moaning on a football forum on a Sunday morning about something else Everton related if the window was closed mate. Its a bit of a moot argument, peoples reactions are going to be different, like most things...

Not getting worked up over the window isn’t weird. I would guess very few people on here are actually worked up over the window, in terms of it affecting their day to day life. I’d like us to sign loads of good players but I can’t influence it...

How so what?

Pretty sure we signed maupay very late in the window so he’s probably not a great example to use. I think everyone acknowledges that it would be better to sign good players late than bad players early. This isn’t really cutting insight, despite...

Of course, this is a football forum not a board meeting. Nothing that any of us say in here makes the slightest bit of difference to anything the club does, we all know that. Do you think you repeating that everyone is doing their best and we’re...

That’s a given though isn’t it? People don’t just want us to sign anybody, they want us to sign good players. This ‘I’m dead zen about it me, everything will work out perfectly’ attitude that some people like to portray is a bit weird.

I think sometimes we as fans are guilty of what we want players to be and not what they are mate and what they are is often fine. Illys strengths are, dribbling, ball carrying, beating a man and goal scoring. Of all his strengths hes not...

Well yeah if he was English he wouldn’t have 50 caps and city wouldn’t buy him, that’s hardly a hot take is it? I’m not saying he’s great, far from it, I’m just saying that realistically with everything else we need bringing in a left back who...

You quite literally did say he held his own actually zat.

Nah he really wasn’t. He had a poor start to his time here and some people couldn’t let it go. Last season he was generally one of our better players. He obviously had his limitations and his weaknesses meant we had to play a certain way, but if...

Honestly, we have zero functional fullbacks at the club. We have Coleman, who's body is in ruins, Patterson, who we have seen repeatedly fail to impress, and O'Brien, who is a centre half who is serviceable as a fullback, but isn't a fullback. If...

I think it’s a fair point about ndiaye. Not saying he doesn’t have it in his locker but at the end of the day he’s played 2 seasons at the top level and has a total of 5 assists (none in the PL), you’d have to say it’s at least possible that he...

I don’t think Illy works at 10 mate, I actually don’t think he’s even a winger, he’s an inside forward. Out wide Illy gets far more freedom, he generally has more space to operate in with less defenders then centrally in between the lines, ill...

Compete and back up are totally different things. Sign someone just to back up mykolenko and we’ve failed, sign someone to compete and we haven’t. The chances of us being in a position to bring in someone who is just clearly better than a £15m...

That’s honestly such a bizarre take. Either pre-season results matter (they dont) in which case failing to beat Accrington Stanley is hugely concerning, or they do (they still don’t) in which case Moyes having won some in the past makes...
