We're a mid table club and we're buying a player who scored 19 goals last season alone.
So you want a younger player? He'll be crap for 2/3 years before getting good and then subsequently sold.
So you want a better player? Can't I'm afraid. Costs more money and better players won't come to us.
So you want a Left Back? Sorry. Everton just can't see the wood from the trees and won't replace Baines until he's retired probably.
i don't claim to be ITK or anything, but we haven't replaced our left back, because back in 2011 the board could not take the fact that our prized left back would one day have to retire, so we sold Arteta, and used the funds to setup a Bio-engineering facility based in Russia (here the Usmanov ties come in) the facility was mainly researching Leighton's bones structure and potential "Human upgrades" word on the street is he hasn't been injured but actually has been scheduled for operation based on the successful testing and breakthrough in "Animatronic Legs Replacement Therapy" or AL-RT for short.
bit of loophole in the FA
Success rate is 46%
ONCE AGAIN, don't shoot the messenger
