Exactly
Who were, for the most part, old has beens, no marks from the lower leagues and reserve players from the likes of Liverpool! Can you imagine the utter hysteria if a manager assembled that team now! Haha!
Well seemingly they were best buddies and roommates at Charlton
you never know a players intentions until an offer is on the table. Ross is a good example as is Stones. before the Cheslea bid he appeared a down to earth kid, he'd signed a new deal and was just happy to be at Everton. That Cheslea bid and all the public courting really turned his head. Obviously leaving us for Chelsea is a step up so you can understand why he handed in a transfer request but he didn't appear like the sort of player who'd do that. Tierney may be a hardcore Celtic fan but from a professional point of view other than the chance to spanked in the CL each year what does that team or league provide? Everton would be a step up. He may not want that, he's probably really happy like Stones appeared to be but put that offer in front of him and he may be tempted. Money and the Premierleague is a massive pull.
All this "nonsense" as you put it has us with some of the worst football I've ever seen. It's because buying from teams below us can work, just that what we bought wasn't what was needed.
Sorry mate, i wasnt having a dig at anyone, I agree, what we have bought has largely not worked, but people saying we should only be buying from Chelsea or Barca are so wide of the mark!
And out of all the players we have bought from below us, how many genuinely can you say are big improvements on what we have?
It is comical mate it really is. Unless baines springs back fit any time soon then essentially the club's plan is to play right backs there and hope for the best. Suprised we don't ask Theo or Cenk to fill in there also
Well, let's be fair and, frankly, blunt here. We aren't going to take a player who is either in his prime or up and coming from almost any team above us who is getting regular playing time. I think most know that. But getting players on loan who aren't getting playing time, but still deemed valuable enough that they don't want to sell, from one of those teams would help us enormously in the short term providing it's in the places we desperately need to improve.
Must have missed the bit where he terrorised them like
