Do we over estimate the lure of Everton?

So Arnautovic, a Stoke player is turning us down...
Stones/Lukaku want out
Almost every target we are linked with want nowt to do with us ie Witsel, Arnautovic, Mata, Jose, Emry etc

At what point do we realise that we just are not that relelvant anymore and no one of any significance wants to come near us !

We cant even get lads to leave Stoke FFS...
Players are going to nomark clubs ahead of us for the past few years

We seem to be seen as similar in draw to the Hulls of this world.
Is this really where we are at now

ffffuuuukkk!!

just throwing it out there but is ffp hindering us from offering these high wages and that's why they are not signing??

Ok, I'll put my head back on!

About right mate. Its not August yet.

 

[Tigger]

Not yet no.



Its only because the media tell you that.

In actual fact life of a footballer is no different between London or the North West. In fact if anything the quality of life is better in the North West.

Thats a fact. I know this because I know a load of the Man City players and they chose the north west for a reason. As did Man United. No different for Everton too or Liverpool.

lol Please name drop!

Martinez has done damage to us in the short term, but it's nothing we can't recover from over time.

Agree. If we had this money during Moyes tenure when we were 'almost there' it would not have been so hard. This is not an overnight job but one decent season is all it takes to get on the radar again.

Vicious circle operating there though (or is it Catch22?).
We need some top players in to get a decent season.

You know it's bad when Wijneldum is in the papers saying he turned us down for the RS.

We don't know the real ins and outs of it though do we. Personally Im not arsed about him and relieved that we didn't shell out that much money on a player who only puts a shift in at home according to the barcodes.

Love the username. I would suggest maybe four for some depth. We have good players and a strong manager. You need money and players but there is more satisfaction for me in not buying a team of superstars but developing a team. Would rather do a Leicester than a Chelsea or City if you know what I mean.

So the Stoke player turned us down, did we even bid for him? Could be rubbish made up to get a better Stoke deal.

This is exactly it, you just cannot believe what is in the press as 80% of it is pure invention or irresponsible conjecture. We live in a football age of nationalism promoted by the media as opposed to regionalism in which our game has its historic roots. Media giants such as Sky actively promote the so called bigger clubs, they hype up their players and managers whilst ignoring three-quarters of the league. This Goebbels style propaganda, which so many fall for time and time again, is spouted on a daily basis via Sky's TV and internet channels and its sister paper the *un. I never ever thought for one moment that you would see Chelsea, Arsenal, Citeh and Utd shirts being openly worn by Merseyside kids, back in the day it just would not have happened as the individual would have been born Blue or Red and worn strictly local shirts.

Whilst this revolution was taking place out standards slipped, badly, rather than be treated as recent champions the TV media chose to ignore us, employ ex-players of Arsenal, Chelsea, the lot over the park and United who only promoted the interests of their former employers.

You ask if we overestimate the lure of EFC, yes we do in the modern age. Its not because our history has changed, not because we are a small club as we're not but as other teams are receiving far better coverage from all media outlets by means of deliberate bias or ex-player club promotion. To object to this normally brings open criticism of all things Blue by those with the media clout. Watch the Sky panel, Pinocchio has never once said anything decent about us, his bias is overt but he is allowed to carry on because the entire Sky network uses rubbish journalism to promote half truths and at times utter lies.

The only answer, and its the Holy Grail, is for us to win the Prem, Leicester did it so why can't we. Incidentally watch the media in the coming season as Leicester's place drops, the boot will. fly in from all quarters led by Sky

Do we over-estimate the lure of Everton?

Of course we do. We are loyal passionate supporters of Everton.

It's like family.

Biased?...you betcha!
