Transfer Rumour Matías Vecino

[TheBigIguana]

Nope.

That's some rebuttal I have to hand it to you.

It's almost like there isn't any good reason that the season that was 7 points and 10 goals better than any of the others wasn't our best in the timeframe I mentioned.

Sold Lukaku and didn't replace him. Result was we couldn't score any goals.

Sold Gueye and didn't sufficiently replace him. Result was our midfield fell to pieces.

We could all have predicted both of those things, yet the board and those making decisions at Everton failed to see both.

Our midfield was absolute turd with him in it.

I mean if you think 16/17 was an amazing season you dont really deserve anything other than a nope.

Im meant to believe we played like Brazil 1970 while Gana was here.

Did I say amazing? I said it was better than all of our other seasons that ranged from meh to promising to it's March and we might still go down. And the reason for that was Lukaku scoring goals, Gueye making Williams and dead legs Jagielka look competent and 3-4 months of superb form from Ross Barkley.

Again acting like those two were the problem would be like saying that the reason we aren't higher up this season is Richarlison. Or in a word ridiculous.

Ashley Williams played regularly for us and our backup striker was Enner Valencia. We spanked a few turd teams at home in the second half of the season though.

I didnt say they were the problem, im just pointing out that they werent a solution either.

The funny thing is that's exactly the opposite of what happened. We couldn't catch 6th but were so far ahead of 8th that we got 4 points from the last 5 because half the team was on the beach. That team was easily better than any team we've put out since the Martinez Miracle (this does not mean they were amazing FFS) but ran into the most dominant "Big 6" year since they coined that ridiculous phrase.

Something tells me that if you popped in quality players around them they might have been part of the solution. Evidence of that exists in what Lukaku is currently doing in Italy.

Serie A is no better than the Dog and Duck league.

As with all the other leagues you like to insult (DAS SPL comes to mind) we wouldn't make the CL there either. So whatever.

We would walk the MLS tho.

Yes we could’ve caught 6th, but unfortunately we were crap so didn’t come close in the end.

At least we have that.

This has veered wildly out of the topic of Vecino so I'm going to wind this up now. Apologies.

Its ok to disagree.
