Lad from Vienna
Player Valuation: £750k
Good afternoon!
I fell in love with the Blues back when I was 8 in 2002. Was a huge Beatles fan as a young lad, so we went to Liverpool for Fall holidays. My dad originally wanted to go to the strange Red folks but I kind of always hated the color and since I already was a Hertha BSC fan (I'm from Germany originally), I wanted to see the blue shirts. The day was October 19 and I don't remember anything other than the ball hitting the bottom of the crossbar and Goodison exploding with excruciating loudness. From that day I was a Blue in my heart but didn't have the chance to really follow the action on the pitch because internet wasn't good enough in those days and the Prem wasn't televised. Only years later I grasped the scope of what I'd (barely) witnessed and I have rarely missed a match since 2009. Though I haven't been back to Goodison I feel very connected with the club and I love this forum. Looking forward to a great season!
And yeah, because it seems to be a fundamental question here, I'm really glad Lukaku's gone. He can score all the goals he wants, nothing beats a bloke who puts his heart and soul on the pitch when he's in blue. I know, Wazza's been gone for 13 years and yeah, he kissed that Manc logo but just look at him now. He really wants to be with us and do well and he's learnt a bit over the years and I can't remember having seen anyone remotely as football-intelligent at Everton in the last 8 years. I think we're in for a good one. COYB!
