2023/24 Kevin Thelwell

[RufusCat]

I used to think this but Brentford are losing goals in Toney this summer, know Maupay from previous spells, had him score a decent handful, know we need cash and that we would probably accept his book value (under 10mil).

And despite this they are happy for him to go. Says a lot.

Haven't Brentford bought a striker - one that will fill the role that Maupay played?

 

[Mr Happy]

Pretty certain he was on there as just an "if these 6 people get injured we have no choice" option.

No denying that.

 

[Furey1878]

Why haven’t Brentford bought him then?

Summer isn't over yet mate. I reckon they fancy their chances at getting another loan, similar to our situation with Harrison in a way.

Where’s the evidence that Thelwell had absolutely ‘no say’ in the appointment?

Crying? Your literal existence on this forum is you just piss your pants about everything. Although it’s nice to see some personal growth from you giving an ounce of credit to any Everton manager.

Because he’s a middle manager who does not sit on the board.

We haven’t won a trophy in 30 years mert and your main concern is if the RS are cheating.

But yeah, ok

 

[nsno-chris]

A. I dont see where you know that, and B. I would have figured that Harrison, Young, Onana, McNeil, Garner, Gana, Tarks all played a part in those 48 points considering they.....ya know....LITERALLY played for large parts of it.

Is this a joke or serious??

I didn't see the point of giving young Lewis Warrington his debut then binning him a couple of weeks later

I said at the time it was very obvious that it was the manager saying well done for training so hard go and have 5 minutes playing at Goodison in an Everton shirt as a reward its worrying when people don't understand things like that at all.

You’re the one bringing the RS up here when this has nothing to do with them

Ah really we haven’t won anything in 30 years? I hadn’t realised, thanks for telling the forum. I can now see why you want to sack every manager who works for us every 3 months.

Maybe we should get rid of all the people at the club who don’t sit on the board as well. I’m sure if Moshiri just spins the wheel on who you want as the next manager every other month we’ll be winning trophies again in no time. Seriously why bother even employing and consulting all the data and scouting teams under Thelwell when Chris off the internet can just tell you who to hire as manager to bring the glory days back.

 

[kenada_blue]

No he won’t. Someone might try and scab another loan out of us. But you are living on a different plain of reality entirely if you think we are getting £10m+ for him.

We got £22mill for Iwobi at the end of his contract. I'm sure we can get at least £10mill for SuperMaupes

Of a drunk club

He finished the season as their 5th choice striker. I just don’t think they rate him to be honest.

Yes and the board

Next point please

 

[nsno-chris]

Wonder how his 120 point plan is going

 

[Blast_of_Cannock]

I'd take any of them ahead of £30m for Beto

I'm still hopeful with Beto. Give him a run of consecutive games and we can judge him properly. Although I did think Tom Davies would turn into a decent player too. So I might not be the best judge of a footballer...

 

[windymiller]

Off the bench. To fill in. Add competition.

A. By the sounds of things a lot of people really wanted is a loan or up to £15mill for a 10 a season back up striker

B. United and the RS spent £80mill each to get about 10 goals last season

A. Beto cost us a lot more than £15m. Just because we paid less than that upfront doesn't mean he costs less than that. £25+m for 5 goals off the bench seems expensive to me and not a good signing.
B. And they were both considered to be flops and have been the subject of ridicule.

You have also suggested that we would get a combined £25m for Maupay and Beto which mitigates Thelwell's decision to buy them. I think that is highly optimistic and, even if we were to get that fee, would represent a significant loss on the pair for very little on field return.
For what it's worth, in other areas of the pitch I think Thelwell has done alright, not great but alright, but up front he's had a mare.

Deffo a joke if Onana is in there.
