a bone injury should be fine to 100% fully recover from. Many ligament/tendon injuries are 100% mendable these days. Muscle injuries, especially to big muscle groups (quads/hammies) are a different kettle of badgers, scar tissue and muscle...

So which players out of the clubs reach would now sign based on Grealish joining?

Mykolenko it is, then.

Whatever you think about him as a player, he is a huge name and has won the lot. Plus he is genuinely a top top player. Yes he doesnt have blistering pace but he's so good on the ball. And to bring the best out of your best player (if he signs)...

Some damn good posts going in ...

Grealish staying another year may make other players who may have doubts about coming to us, actually come to us He also keeps the ball and passes to a man which takes so much pressure off. But you are right he needs surrounding with an...

What players is having Grealish going to attract? We're talking those English lads over 29? He's got no pace and slows the play down. He's not our best left winger. What does he bring to a slow team that needs to be effective on the...

The lessons from 13/14 where these in my view Pace and quality in attack, 2/3 of the Belgian national team front line plus Deulofeu. Pace power and technique in midfield. Barkley and McCarthy could put it on anyone that season, home or away...

The other thing was that - apart from Lukaku (who's fee was settled later at the end of the season IIRC) - that team was assembled with not that much money spent on it. Iraola has got B'mouth into pole position for a Euro spot this season after...

Nip that in the bud Joey and keep abreast of Braidens development instead of milking this forum dry

or at least 5.30

Can't pretend I've got much hope for Monday. Still looking forward to it though. Hopefully good weather, no stress of getting from work to the match. UTFT

Put a half decent full back behind him. Put a half decent CF ahead of him. You’d see something we’ve not seen at Everton for years. He’s elite, but he like Illy has consistently been let down by those around him.
