Transfer Rumour Jack Grealish


Imo if Southall had not been injured that season i dont think we would of missed out on the league title, all respect to Bobby Mimms.

Exactly.

Bobby did little wrong but he wasn’t Neville and if the latter hadn’t broken his leg playing in a friendly on a blooming rugby pitch in Dublin I have no doubt we win the league in ‘86 with a game or two to spare and probably completed the Double at Wembley.

Yeah no doubt at all in my mind that at that period he was the best keeper in the world and by a margin too, and unlike today that was an era of some absolutely quality keepers
 

He's correct though but with one major issue, historically we are one of the biggest - until we start genuinely competing at the right end of the table again it doesn't matter how big we were 40 years ago.

Yes and people need to get over it. Most football players now are probably born from 1992 onwards, no way would Everton be a big club to them unless they sit there on Wikipedia each night (which they do not)
 
Still unsure about this, even if we are only paying part of his wages. It feels more like we are desperate and wanting to make a profile and statement signing to entice other players into believing we are a club to play for rather than assessing if they'd actually be good for the squad. I can't shake the feeling that he's done for as a player and the player we are hoping he would be is gone now.
