Home invasion didn't help

That could happen anywhere really.

Seems to be very common to screw footballers houses these days.

Definitely a universal issue for sure but difficult to separate the harrowing event from the location it occurred, if your not from the area.

Quite

True...... but then why do we talk about anything really, maybe we should just leave the forum and wait patiently until Everton announce all the signings and then have a little quite applause to ourselves but dont talk about them and definitely dont post on a forum about them

Excellent idea, have a nice cup of tea instead.

What do you think Gana is there for? He is streets ahead of those players in his ability to cover ground and win back possession. Midfielders don't need to win headers.

Ok we’ll see if he plays those as a 3 in midfield (should we sign McAtee)

 

[MisterJ]

That was Maarten Stekelenburg.

Are you sure? Could have sworn it was Olsen

Just googled it, you're quite right. Mind is going since I turned 50

I dont think we play a midfield three ever, I think we play a midfield 2 in the centre and then an AM with two wingers/forwards either side. Like a W.
where the tips of the W move wide or narrow and sometimes drop along with the AM to make a midfield 5.
Currently Garner and Gana are the bottom points of the W, Alcaraz is the upper point and the two arms are N'Diaye and McNeil

 

[Charles Hawtrey]

BTW Mcatee would play in either Alcaraz or McNeil's spot in the above 'W'

 

[Bally1989]

Just hoping that the links to Douglas Luiz and Kubo shows we are after some quality as the idea of Josh Brownhill and that ferret Harrison scares me

 

[Sharpattack]

Why haven’t we signed Jack Harrison yet? What’s taking so long? This is really frustrating!!

 

[Lanolin]

Our best team of the last 35 years had Baines, Coleman, Osman, Arteta, Cahill and Piennar in it. Not exactly physical beasts. Moyes picked that team and it was a joy to watch. We don't need more players like Doucoure.

It didn’t set up in the way you’re talking about though, which is surely the pertinent point? The idea of Moyes picking a midfield 3 in which 2 of the 3 are ostensibly attacking players seems very unlikely based on everything we know about him. Nobody thinks he wouldn’t play Alcaraz and Mcatee at all, just that he wouldn’t play them in the way you’re suggesting.

This threads nearly as long as last summer's one

We've signed 1 player + we're not even half way through July

It's not about length, it's how you use it.

The Bumhole of England.

Never been to a place where I've been excited to leave.

Birmingham changed that.

Yep as Mike Harding so eloquently put it ..."if England had piles it would be Birmingham"

Oh Matron!
