Can he play right back!

He'll be the duplicate of Nathan Patterson.

He'll be the duplicate of Nathan Patterson.

Seamus Coleman was U21 once - that deserves another year.

do you think he will be the duplicate of Nathan Patterson?

FIFA have acted swiftly to Davey interview with the Echo.

Why though?

 

[Marcus Kendall]

What's homegrown though? Is it the rs buying Sterling from QPR and pretending he came through their academy or do they actually have to have been developed by the club from an early age?

Good point. I remember Fabregas being classed as homegrown when he came through at Arsenal which made no sense as he wasn't even English and homegrown kind of suggests that is a basic necessity

Benrahma would have been a good option at Everton for several years. Soucek a fantastic signing. Coufal a much better right back than we've had in 3 decades. Paqueta was also very good for them.

Those 6 players would massively have improved Everton imo.

Obviously he also had a lot of flops at West Ham too. Some expensive ones too.

If they were that good they would have moved on to
Bigger and better things. Paqueta is the only one that nearly did

Can see why Scamacca was signed, just didn't work out.
We'd had Zouma.
We'd also had Vlasic.
Ironically, Lingard was only a loan but he paid off.

I didn't realise, he only signed one player outright in his first spell at west ham, Jordan Hugill for £9.5M from Preston. A 1 in 4 striker from down the league. Bit fishy.

His time at west ham is skewed, not least 'cos he got 12 months, they moved him on, got Pellegrini in for 18 months, whopped £155M up the wall then got Moyes back in to turn it around. ***

In recent seasons sides have been stockpiling players here and at feeder clubs abroad, chelsea and to a lesser extent city and spurs to. Bloated unmanageable squads, demotivated, overpaid, sat on huge contracts. Could I be bothered sweating blood for west ham or similar elsewhere when I can have a 6 year fully paid holiday down the old kent road?

***So Pellegrini splaffed more cash up the wall in his 18 months than any comparable Moyes 18 month west ham spell.

Context innit.

Like has been mentioned Moyes spent 500 and arguably wasted over 300. A lot of them, were either sold at a loss, walked away on a free like zouma at the age of 30 or gone on loan like a ward prowse. We did have zouma but only on
Loan, we didn’t pay £35 mil for him

Also we got vlasic for 7mil and sold for a small profit. Moyes paid nearly 30mil for him and sold him for 12mil 2 yrs and 19 games later

This is the first season in about 5 years Everton have have not been involved in any relegation whatsoever Since day 1 of the season. Its his first and only full season. He took over with 4 months left last season with the club 1 point out the drop zone and pulled it away with ease within a few weeks.
Wtf are you talking about managing my club faiirly badly lol.

4 games left and i haven't popped in a relegation thread once, We now have a Europe thread which I expect everyone has visited.

"They're good boys"

Thats the most Moyes praise anyone can get.

We've spent a fortune on players he doesn't use and he's on course to replicate about what Dyche did in terms of points, whilst our home record is appalling.

If you know you`re boss well, that can be all the praise you need.

I once had a boss, who was universally loved by everyone and all he had to say to anyone to crush anyone, was " I`m disappointed in you / the team ".

If we win against City at the weekend ( I know ), this thread is going to be make some very interesting reading.

"We're going to move to a broader, flatter structure, where we have experts in data and analytics, in football operations, in recruitment and talent ID, and then in player trading.

"Some of those people have already come onboard and there are going to be some more announcements over the next couple of weeks. I've been delighted by the quality of individuals that we've been able to attract.

"I think when Everton fans see it, they're going to be really reassured that we've got, I think, a world-class football operations team in place who'll be there to support David, who we think is a world-class manager."

Image how bad it could be without a world class team on transfers.

Assume that's the chief exec.

He's never going to challenge Moyes on performance or recruitment.

He's just glad to be in the job.

His level of ambition is getting £6.50 for a doughnut or some third rate vodka company to sponsor a box.

Well given he hasn't beaten Pep since God was a lad I think it's unlikely.
