And how do they choose which kids to be mascots and when? "Charged parents" must have priority then, because season ticket holders' kids are up for the job at any time. It's still not great for me.

Since when is that illegal, am I missing something?! Clubs are chasing their targets publicly or privately. The rules are to not establish a contact with the subject of interest regarding proposed move without having permission from the club he's currently under a contract. And we didn't went publicly after him. No club official said a word about him publicly before we signed him officially and that's the fact. The story went in the press, but the source of information was clearly Watford and not us. They made the whole story public, and we actually don't know our stance on it, whether it's true or not, our club haven't said a word yet.

Why they allow football clubs to participate in soccer league? It makes no sense.

We lack our new signings. Once they are fit and settled I expect much better from us.

It won't be easy. They are desperate to get a result here. If we play like we did today, we are definitely losing more points against West Ham.

True.

He must play in 75% of Nigeria matches from now on until the next summer and will get a visa if he applies in time before his 22nd birthday.

Shut up Romey, his source seems legit and you got nothing. 😆

It does, over time. 😜

I wonder, why don't clubs sell shirts without sponsor logos as an option? I'll gladly buy our current home shirt without the angry birds and sportpesa and I'll pay over the price for it. I saw there are such without sportpesa for kids, but no for grown ups unfortunately.

That's enough for me. We are not participating in european competition so we don't need a large squad. Keeping an unsettled player is of no use to us and can only bring us trouble.

We could, but what's the point if he doesn't want to play for Everton?

I don't care, he was average and still is very limited midfielder. It is just that he can hold the ball and that's it, still better than Schneiderlin though.

MS looks like a manager who knows how to motivate players to improve.
