Hoijlund has all the tools. He’d slot in this team if we played to him the same way we play to Beto. I doubt for a single second we’d get him though. I just don’t see how Untied think swapping Hoijlund for Delap is going to be a massive upgrade?
I agree but I always worry that Everton get the most expensive worst option.
E.g we shell out 40 million for Siggurdson whilst the top clubs are picking up the younger better players for often an even cheaper price
Basically I don’t want us...
If you’re seeing lads lighting up latter stages of European tournaments on your tv and think ‘oh Everton should get him’. You’re too late.
Cherki will be able to choose whoever he wants to play for. There’s no way he’d ever come here, he could...
Look at what it’s taken to get them there though, and even now they can still drop 60 mill on Cunha, we can’t.
They’ve pretty much had unlimited money for years, spent it on rubbish, and not even sold very effectively. They’re only now getting...
Cunha has had back to back good seasons. I agree though with the general point of being wary about paying record fees for players. That's not what this summer should be about. You make those signings when you're either desperate or you already...
United Chelsea Liverpool Arsenal And City have had unlimited money for as long as I can remember (obviously City and Chelsea since their takeover)
Miss the CL? Doesn’t matter, unlimited money
Squad size of 50 players? Doesn’t matter
Pay for...
Ramsey has never nailed down his best position and is injury prone and too expensive.
Mbeumonis a good player but I’m wary of paying record fees for players with one good season. Same goes for Cunha.
There’s better value to be had and...
Just to add to this, I remember hearing from Meis at the time that plans were announced that we were limited to around 55k as that is the highest you can safely go to at two tiers.
The overall footprint needed for a 3 tiered stadium is much...
First player I’ve seen for us that was genuinely giving me Cahill flashbacks in that game. His movement in the box to get on the end of crosses is excellent.
Can’t say either way on the capacity as don’t know enough but perhaps there was a trade off on the location vs size.
If you build a 70k seater stadium out in the sticks then it makes extra money on match day because of the capacity but is empty...
that’s exactly the problem, we need to buy someone who can pass a ball like that. We need a midfield dictator who can mix up short and long passing, taking the ball off the CBs and playing between the lines. When they do this the opposition CBs...
