If you are committed to developing a player a good amount of playing time is possible during a season , which ultimately benefits the club . Playing someone like Antonio or Vardy will almost certainly only benefit the players retirement fund . It’s a dead end , high cost , low return strategy.

I’d rather we gave Chermiti game time and developed him here than contribute to the pension fund of some over the hill has been . Everton have developed something of a habit of providing a sanctuary for such players to eke out the last days of their playing career during the last 30 years . It...

Interesting. So , considering the general consensus is that we are at least five players short of a squad your contention is that every player we have selected to fill those positions is either reluctant to join or touring Japan . We are either highly unlucky, a little too selective in our...

We are leaving Liverpool ?……. 🤔……….., We are leaving England ??

Are you trying to say we have set our heart on a couple of palatial mansions we can’t afford and we will have to make do with a couple of run down bungalows and a garden shed in need of repair ?

Surely our scouting yields more than one player for every position we want fill ? Very poor system if this not the case .

I am unconvinced that this particular fellow brings anything to the team that can’t be sourced less expensively from better leagues. I don’t think there are any currently reliable links anyway.

Surely we are still a few weeks off the Fellows level of the proverbial barrel ?

It’s impressive , the owners have backed the manager and shown they are determined to do everything they can to improve the team . Like I say , the management in this case clearly had an achievable and discernible plan. It would be nice to see evidence of similar resolve and planning on the...

To be fair there isn’t much else to pin your hopes onto currently, unless you want get moist with Moist over the vague possibility of Soucek ( which also probably isn’t happening either)😁

I see the woman’s team is continuing to strengthen with intent. It appears the management had a clearly defined plan , and had identified the players they wanted to recruit.

While it’s unfair and foolish to judge a transfer window until its conclusion, it is intriguing to compare the briskness with which the woman’s team have acquired several quality players to the satisfaction of their manager.

As an aside I think it’s strange that we misuse the term ‘Journeyman ‘ to describe someone negatively. In fact a Journeyman is someone who has completed their apprenticeship or training and is fully qualified to work in their trade or craft . To be described as a journeyman is a complement and...

Depends on whether you think Fellows can commensurately improve us , or merely maintain our current standing . I think the latter , personally. I hope we can scout better , and hopefully without the English surcharge.

The ‘friendly ‘ Derby vanished when Andy King had the temerity to score a winning goal at Goodison and they spat their dummies out and tried to ambush us by hurling house bricks . ( They got legged and took a kicking of course )

With all respect such comparisons are anachronistic and hopelessly futile. A person can only thrive within the environment he exists. While today’s players are undoubtedly more athletic, would they prosper or even survive in earlier times ? Would they cope with the harder and more brutal ( by...

This may be true , but given time and support to develop, he could exceed Luiz ( who is good but not great , to be fair ). Personally if we had the choice I would prefer we take the chance on Hackney . In all likelihood we will end up with neither.

Retro in topic, Douglas Luiz conducimus an quid ?
