100% behind this idea.
We will never forget our history . . . but it's the here and now and our future that needs to be the focus of all our support.
The 1878s have got this spot on.
I assume you mean any less true? You do understand that I'm not a club employee or a scout of any kind? I'm just an Evertonian who has watched Michael Keane stink the joint out every time he pulls on the shirt. That's why I want us to try someone...
The very reason that a 4th choice doesnt need to be a great player is the very reason it should be a young player. We have to develop young talent.
Keane is old, and poor, and expensive, and instead we could be developing a player for the...
Any answer I give will result in one of the following ripostes from you:
He's worse than Keane
He'll be too expensive
He won't come here to be 4th choice
He's too risky
He's always injured
He's too old
He's too young
He's too short
So what...
I'm not saying don't have a fourth choice centre half, so obviously we'll have to pay them wages. I'm saying don't give perennial loser Michael Keane any more millions than he's already extracted from us.
Yes, we've seen them and we know their heinous. Signing a replacement may not work out, that's true of any signing, but re-signing a player who has already failed, repeatedly, is illogical. Let's get someone on a similar deal who's warts may be...
It's driving me crazy that people are acting like Michael Keane re-signing will be zero cost and that re-signing him will have no effect on our spending. Even if he takes a 50% wage cut (and that seems insanely optimistic to me) he'll cost us £2m...
Yep, think Bobble said that we've gone back and offered him more money than we'd offered originally - which is insane! It's still less than he was on before his contract expiry, but it blows my mind.
It's like our fans seem to forget just how...
It very much is though, despite you refusing to accept it. Nobody wants us to resign Michael Keane, surely you can understand that? Some people are able to read between the lines and think that it's either him or someone very similar to him and...
We probably don't want a player that isn't getting in to a team that has been battling relegation for the last three seasons, do we? If we didn't already have Michael Keane and Michael Keane was available on a free from, let's say, Leicester...
I think that's fair but I would say, given the small size and relative weakness of the squad, that judging the squad at the start of the season, rather than the end of the window, would also be a useful milestone.
