    General Euros chatter

    A rare highlight. ITV was treating that game last night like a death in the family and Pougatch takes the whole thing way too seriously. It's football. It's literally a game. You're allowed to enjoy it.

    Last chance for England fans ?

    Exemplarily behaviour from the fans during both the Russian and Qatar World Cups. As such we can only conclude that it's the EU to blame for any so called poor behaviour. *Previous Euros were just high jinks exacerbated by the lingering effects of EU membership and 'the boats' not being stopped.

    I think we are. I agree. We should point to our own prudence in the market over the years and lecture from a position of moral strength on the rewards of responsible spending. It's a fine negotiation tactic which will undoubtedly rattle and unnerve any who attempt to underhandedly gain...

    There is no 'set market value' in football. Much less one based on what has generally been seen as overpaying. It's like saying Everton set the market price for Icelandic midfielders when we signed Sigurdsson. And I could be wrong but the 'they' who agreed that deal for Maguire aren't the...

    One or two seasons of competence are all that is needed for them to be back dining at the top table. There has been much bigger turnarounds in football than what is required at United to get back into contention.

    No. Your prediction of valuation doesn't take into account contract length and it's effect on transfer value and is also based on the assumption of a continual guaranteed improvement in the player's ability and form. He signed a 4 year deal in October 2023. In two years time (2026) he will have...

    I doubt they're 'billions' as in the plural. Financial rules are about sustainability. Man Utd's debt is probably entirely sustainable given their income and cash reserve so therefore not a hindrance. Everton's debt appears less sustainable without an improvement in incomings. Pretty much...

    Wasn't signing young players cheap, developing them and selling on for huge profits held up as a good model for the club by many?

    2023/24 Jarrad Branthwaite

    It's always been a thing. The rules against it have always been the preserve of the tie & blazer FA types of years gone by who were more concerned with the veneer of gentlemanly respectability and the social status their positions bestowed upon them rather than any great interest in the actual...

    None of us have been in and around the camp though. For all we know Branthwaite has been getting turned inside out in practice games or hasn't seemed comfortable around the place. Club form gets you a call up to the squad to be looked at. Nothing more.

    Not massively baffling. Grealish has not been in anything like good form for a while whereas Bowen has consistently performed. Outside of Evertonians I don't think many are that baffled by Dunk over Bowen. Personally I'd have gone Branthwaite but I've not been in and around the camp or...

    777 Partners / Whatever the hell you like

    RB Everton or Everton Red Bulls? Just to loan a few not good enough for the first team young players from giants such as RB Leipzig, Red Bull Salzburg, New York Red Bulls and Red Bull Bragantino. Christ on a bike, I'd sooner go into administration.

    Start one then. You'd have as much credibility as EvertonNews, Football Insider, TeamTalk, Football365 and the various ITKs that people seem to actually pay any attention to whatsoever.

    Everton 5-a-side

    Southall - Best keeper ever. Carsley & Gravesen - Don't need dedicated centre halves. Just a couple of strong aggressive lads to bomb round and win the ball for... Rooney & Campbell - Both very strong, aggressive but technically excellent to boot.

    Do we really need to be posting clips and giving views to a Murdoch outlet? Trying to digest my breakfast here.

    So who will it be?

    Always amused by Dave's flip-flopping. Changing your mind about something is fine but the audacious denial of previous contradictory positions is quite masterful. It's one of my favourite things on GOT. I've not had to invest any more time in a year and half old post than I would finding one...

    So who will it be?

    To summarise - He's taking the piss, he's an utter 'kin walloper and is a boardroom stooge just in it for a big drink who you had absolutely zero faith in. That's some support you showed there Dave.

    So who will it be?

    Really? I'd say you've made the odd pessimistic post now and again. And you certainly found it easy to be negative about Dyche when he came in.
