Who the hell sanctioned the purchase of this player, and at such a ridiculous price for someone that couldn't even get a game for Rangers? What were they basing their scouting on, because he's never, ever, looked anything other than absolutely crap!
I can't deny that nonsense about 40 points. But I don't think you can say he's currently talking the club down when he's openly rejecting the five year plan to finish 10th and talking about qualifying for Europe next season.
I don't agree mate. Moyes is just a realist and says things as he finds them. The Sunderland fans took great offense and still whinge about the fact that he said they were in a relegation battle just two game into a season. But guess what, they WERE in a relegation battle, he wasn't...
I don’t know for certain how much Tarkowski is on, but I think it will be quite a high wage with us signing him on a free. Tarkowski is good though, and well worth his wage, whereas KWP is crap, and not worth anything approaching 90k a week.
Exactly, and this type of thing has happened so often that it’s nowhere near some kind of anomaly. It happens year in year out, in both a positive sense with a move up the league, or negatively, where a club that finished in the top half the previous season ends up getting relegated.

People are still acting like we have a defence of Holgate, Godfrey and Keane with a never fit Mina and someone like Dyche or Lampard as manager.
We near enough just changed the manager half way through last season, and we found ourselves in and around Europe qualifying form whilst beating...
We will need a good 2 or 3 years of repeating the last two seasons of midtable finishes before we can even think of qualifying for Europe.
That’s the way football works. It’s like a career progression, you have to wait your turn and work your way up the ranks. You can’t just overtake Premier...
I wouldn't be too surprised to see Thierno Barry playing in that Fellaini / Doucoure role, as a second striker.
He's never played there before, but if you look at his highlights reel, he often comes a bit deeper to receive the ball in the same position that Fellaini and Cahill used to operate in.
Their failure to complete our initial hearing in a timely fashion led to a delay that literally kept us in the Premier League. Without the delay to our initial proceedings, we would have been relegated without a doubt.
Everton that.
We are agreeing on a lot here. You're agreeing that the clubs mentioned are operating on the same crap level that we recently have been. The difference is that Brighton and Fulham are having the time of their lives, whereas we have just been discharged from hospital following an episode of ill...
If people are arguing that we are some way off being able to compete with the recently relegated Villa and Newcastle for the signatures of attractive players, then I can agree with them, but I hold the opinion that we will soon mirror their recent transformation from relegation threatened...
I agree that this perception is prevalent at the moment, and that there is definitely a need to improve upon the tarnished reputation that has developed since the time Ancelotti left (2021), so four years ago. However, the reality is different from the perception, and that's what needs to be...
If it's possible then it's not magical. What annoys me is when possible things are dismissed as impossible, and the reasoning behind the dismissal is magical thinking, such as believing in a non-existent hex.
Or worse, this idea that reality is subject to change once Everton becomes involved...
