And this is why people don't pay to watch Everton preseason games on TV. You could pay someone to poke you in the eyes to feel that same warm fuzzy discomfort.

Honestly, people way overthink pre season. One of the money teams that’s expected to be in champions league and up at the top of the table just got rolled 4 nil by Celtic. Villa just lost their second pre season game on the bounce. It means...

Players who caught the eye in pre-season but went on to be underwhelming would make for an interesting topic. I was eager to see more of Jesper Lindstrøm last season after he scored a free-kick in the pre-season friendly victory against Preston...

I stopped giving any cares at all to friendlies a long time ago. On Joe Parkinson’s testimonial, a certain new signing on the right wing was unplayable, against a pretty much first choice man city. He scored 2 and looked like the seeing coming...

Definitely! It was more a comment on how I jumped the gun after their fantastic displays against Accrington only to be reminded of that inconsistency which comes with youth players just a couple of days later. Genuinely exciting talents, both...

….steady on, I think Clarke is still 16 and hasn’t even signed a pro contract yet. The fact he’s involved in pre-season is an achievement, he’s not even a regular U21 player. Don’t be giving these youngsters ‘labels’ regarding what level...

Would really like this to be our next signing. Upgrading our centre midfield is imperative to make a jump up the table. Luiz was a clear part of Villa’s upturn. Garner is our version of Longstaff and if we persist with him we won’t progress...

Tommy Wat o No coincidence is it.

I got pretty excited about the Hackney and Jashari links. Those feel exactly like the young passing midfielders that would be a great fit for us now with the potential to get better. Both City and Sheffield on there. He's a weird one for me...

Even if Kubo ended up signing, I’d still sign Tom Fellows for the squad. Kubo a starter, and Fellows on the bench ready to come on if we need to tweak tactics and resort to plan B. We know how good and accurate Fellows is with crosses from the...

I've heard from a Norwich season ticket holder, they will be in for him on loan if/when Sargeant signs for Wolfsburg. No idea how sourced he is so take with a pinch of salt

If the links to McAtee, Luiz, and Kubo are genuine then we must have the resources to pay for them too. Then it's a question of do we make fill use of the resources available this summer? It would be hard to see us not spending more after the...

28 days later...

I'd imagine Cole palmer's stats in those areas for man c were likely better too, which made the Chelsea transfer a lot less risky than say mcatee's. do we wanna pay the English premium or can our scouts give us better value European or South...

In fairness, if it is then he hasn't done any of it for the last two years. Which would make it a pretty huge gamble to buy him to do that. Progressive passes and carries are the relevant two metrics here: And for this last one you want to...
