Work permit regulations in this country are a joke. These players will be coming over here with guaranteed work in place that will be taxed at a high bracket. Of course, the reasons the rules are in place is to protect homegrown talent, but I don't see why we can't have a rule similar to the one...

Looks just what we need, a striker who goebbels up his chances.

lol

He didn't get us good players when he was Everton manager so I dunno why that would change when he's Barca manager.

How times have changed for Sky Sports. They used to be fairly reliable but I think I'd take a story from goal.com more seriously than anything off there now.

The examples you give are both English players who don't have to uproot their lives to join us. Sometimes you have to think about the player as well and not just what we want as fans. The signings of Leandro Rodriguez and Shani Tarashaj honestly set fire to both of their careers (whatever...

Please explain to me where the "promise" was with Shani Tarashaj? In all likelihood, Martinez probably never even watched him play. Martinez's transfer record was utterly abysmal, and the crap he spouts about a roll of the dice transfer like Tarashaj is laughable: "Shani is an enormous young...

Just reading that article makes my dislike for Martinez grow further.

I'm 99% sure that this boy isn't good enough for Everton. However, for the sake of the 1% doubt in my mind, a season loan is best to a Premier League club where he can play on a regular basis is the right move.

The chances of us getting £40m for a player who has never played outside of Belgium and Turkey, who we can't exactly charge top dollar over due to the fact he can't really play for us (yet), aren't very high I'm afraid lads. Even more so considering we're all basing this off one tweet from a...

He needs to have played in 75% of his National Team's matches in the last 2 years I believe it is to be guaranteed one (obviously him missing out on the World Cup was a big blow for this to happen). You can also be granted one if a club makes a case that the player is an "exceptional talent"...

It's never calm in this thread...

I can't help but like the guy, not the answer for sure but he'd do well in a slower league and a team that plays to his strengths. Happy that he scored today.

He's literally the only playmaker we've had since Arteta, so that statement is kind of true...
