  1. i did not realize that no. in that we are in agreement.
  2. Leicester have had a fee agreed for Vestergaard, so he won't be playing against us, he's headed there for a medical and to agree personal terms.
  3. they are responsible for the employees underneath them. i would have thought when he got in the business end and front end would be evaluated and given improvements. 5 years on the same issues that plagued us when Bill had us mortgaged to the hilt and mismanaged by suntan bob, are still here. as someone who works in the corporate world this is directly due to management. I would have thought Sasha would have gotten this shit fixed or fired the person responsible and hire people to make sure it doesn't happen again. Or work with a different outside vendor (if that's the case) who can deliver the product without issues and on time.
  4. i see studies from Harvard, Mayo Clinic, etc all proving they are effective. These are the best institutions in the country for health. now can you argue how effective? sure. but they are more effective thank no mask. that is not in doubt.
  5. yeah the delta is raging over here, it is sad, governor for my state released the data, 98% of all hospitilizations in our state are unvaccinated. you can't fix stupid. they value their "freedom" more than their life.
  6. im confused, everything i can find from reputable medical professionals says masks work (i work for a hospital). so why don't masks work?
  7. just wondering what the influence of Moshiri has been on the business side. sure we get uncle usmanov big sponsor's but it seems the actual day to day stuff like this season ticket fiasco, haven't changed. which is sad, because you would think a billionaire would get his house in order. just another thing to put in the old memory banks when it comes to moshiri and the russian who's on the board (sasha?).
  8. thoughts and prayers for everton digital season ticket holders
  9. yeah and i love their manager too, he's got all the pressure in the world now, everyone is expecting them to win it all. i hope they do, i like poch and gana and some others there, would be nice for the french league too, it's looked down upon by the other big leagues as the runt of the big 5.
  10. great stuff guys, like usual i put the cart before the horse. to get into the Shield you have to win a trophy, so it's kinda a mute point because we would have already won something but it's interesting to see this info here. i wonder if there was someone some iteration where we lost a cup final or something but got to play the community shield (not sure that's possible) and won and that would be the better question, would that count and be celebrated? seems it would still be split opinion.
  11. my kids are school age and are required to wear masks, not a big deal really. if it helps save lives or makes people feel safer i don't see what the big deal is.
  12. you get what you pay for, he can start immediately and is up to speed in the league. players were released on decent wages, we've gotten rid of others, should be enough for a signing like that. not to mention kean will be going i reckon, and potentially (iwobi? please, pretty please) others as well. also screw FFP, we aren't qualifying for europe this year anyways.
  13. I would love him but he’s not going to want to defend for 70 minutes, I don’t see it happening
  14. Aarons at Norwich, he’s the one I’ve wanted all summer
  15. wikipedia A straw man is a form of argument and an informal fallacy of having the impression of refuting an argument, whereas the real subject of the argument was not addressed or refuted, but instead replaced with a false one. One who engages in this fallacy is said to be "attacking a straw man"
  16. i wouldn't count tielemans, soyuncu, fofana, mane (i consider the "big leagues" england spain italy germany france), they all came from those bigger leagues. we are talking lower leagues. your points about the portuguese and brazilians are well taken though, you're right they have produced some nice players recently. thank you for answering my question
  17. where have i said it trumps anything? i asked a question with a specific parameter that you either disregarded or unintentionally missed. not a big deal. when i say that you give a straw man as a retort.
  18. i said "in recent history" in my question and then listed players in recent history as an example.
  19. i wouldn't consider any of the 3 you mentioned world beaters, they would just be good. VVD and Kante would be the World-beaters. I would expect a Starting RB for us to be better than Tierney to be honest, i don't think he's that good, coleman on his day is way better than tierney (despite them playing different positions). this is kinda my point, we need quality immediately. please let me know other than the 5 listed who these ubiquitous "countless others" are. because i'm talking quality players here, not a bench player, we are trying to get a Starting RB.
  20. most of those were a decade ago or more. your seamus example is exactly what i was talking about for my point though.
  21. the only big ones (success) that come to mind are VVD and Kante, in recent history what others you got?
  22. yes i used to think the same, davy klaasen, cenk tosun, etc changed my opinion. i'm all about signing those players to learn/grow and be the diamonds in the rough. but i don't expect johnny scottish league (or similar) to come in and perform day one, if they do great! but i think it's way too high an expectation for those lower leagues. there are outliers, yes i'm aware. but the flops outnumber them.
  23. yes we all want that, but right now we don't have time to develop him, we need a starter this second. belgian league young guy doesn't scream "premier league starter day 1"
