    Potentially replacing Doucoure with Soucek is understandable and represents a slight improvement in quality . Retaining Doucoure and signing Soucek would be indicative of a dispiriting direction of evolution. This would accentuated if we also did...

    That is my fear also. And that is what I was referring to as one of the worst footballing decisions the club will have ever made - those 3 as a package. Just imagine letting Alcaraz go when his fee is about £12m and signing Soucek and keeping...

    Personally I'd rather we stayed away from Soucek from a stylistic point of view, but you're right that you need a bit of a blend in the squad in terms of experience and character. There's a possibility we could be losing about 5000 top level...

    Yes, 100%. When combined with keeping Doucoure and potentially letting Alcaraz go. Doucoure limits the way we play. Soucek is on the decline and would also limit the way we play. If we want to improve, we need to invest in better footballers...

    Based on everything I know about Everton, the chances us of us bidding real money for a player ‘imminently’ in mid may are significantly less than nil.

    Ideally yes but it all depends on the budget doesn't it. We're potentially losing 7/8 players from the first team squad for nothing (which plenty of people are happy with in the main) but replacing them with instant top quality isn't going to be...

    Longstaff + Brownhill scream a Dyche target Angel Gomes is more like it, and would certainly fit the mold of a TFG signing

    Everton without Gueye will be like Man City without Rodri. They'll suddenly be a big hole in the middle of the team and teams will get through us and scored at will, like they did before he came back

    Get off it! 75k for Doucoure next season? That'd put him amongst our top five or six earners! No contract should be offered under any circumstances - time to let him go, alongside Keane, DC Lewin, Begovic, Young and Coleman.

    Said this before, he'd be a decent replacement for Doucoure.

    ….i just don’t see the similarity except he got in a few terrific challenges in his cameo yesterday. Gana is a busy ‘ratter’, Iroegbunam has nowhere near Gueye’s application but he has more dimension to his game when he’s in possession and he’s a...
