    Haiku reacted to RuffRob in Jarrad Branthwaite   
    If John Stones sold for £50M way back in 2006, then as the owner club I would I'd be slapping a nice round £100m valuation on him - He's a CB that a club could built a whole team around for a decade plus. He is already part of one of the tightest defences in the Premiership and chips in with goals- and argubley first name on our teamsheet. Pay up of fuck off. 
    Other clubs are cashing in on £100m transfer fees for in demand player and we should be doing the same.

    Players are treated as workers. They have insurance, but it mostly covers career ending injuries, death, disability, etc. which are paid out to the player or their family in case of an accident. I don't think clubs receive anything from regular injuries, otherwise insurance policies would be unmanageable. Dele will leave on a free and Tottenham will get nothing from it.

    Good luck to Barkley in securing his final paycheck before going into retirement. He has been a disappointment to each of the clubs he signed with after leaving Everton and only recently found a run of form. It is a big gamble signing him because I'm not sure how long he can keep this going.

    Haiku reacted to Palfy in General Weekend/Midweek Football   
    For over 6 months there was a contract on the table for him to sign which would have made him the highest paid player in the club, Koeman did what I would expect most managers to do when they are trying to build a team, he got fed up of talking about him signing and gave him an ultimatum to sign by if he intended to stay. He went to Stamford Bridge had his medical then decided he wasn’t ready to sign the deal both clubs had agreed for 35 million, he then comes back sits on the treatment bench and picks up his wages until the next transfer window, then goes back to Chelsea and signs for 15 million less lines his own pocket and where to believe he had no idea what was going on. And let’s remember this isn’t from a player who’s come to Everton without any allegiance this is a player who is an Evertonian who at one time expressed his love for the team, well he had funny way of showing it, but luckily most haven’t forgotten his treachery and he was roundly booed off by true fans who love this club.

    Don't care how they go in, so long as they do. Personally I think Niasse knew exactly what he was doing and his 200iq strategy was "put it where they least expect it"...

    Haiku got a reaction from AlbanyNYToffee in Luton (FA Cup) 27th January   
    Let's look at it realistically. We've spent fuck all on transfers in the past three years - net transfer spend of -75m. There's only one other team with negative transfer spending, and that's Brighton. While we do have some good players and occasionally get lucky patches, the reality is that we aren't very good as a team, and our players aren't consistently performing well. Dyche does a good job of getting the best out of them, but sometimes he fails, or rather the players fail him. Anyway, we are where we are with our current squad in bad form. It is clear as day that we need a significant investment if we are to become competitive.

    Haiku got a reaction from StevO in Blue Bill's shiny new stadium at the docks...   
    I love it. It is different from most modern stadiums with a minimalistic oval shape. Ours is so much more than that. Though I've seen people on Twitter mocking the design, saying it looks like a more expensive version of the King Power Stadium.

    To all at Toffee Talk thanks for all the kind words Bill did love it on here. 
    and I know towards the end his big frustration was not being able to come on and have his say I think his last contribution was to get Beto Haha I wonder was he impressed with him. 
    so thanks to all the kind words are much appreciated.

    Haiku reacted to Cornish Steve in Crystal Palace (FA Cup) 4th January   
    One day, it's all going to come out. There's no doubt VAR is being used to rig results, no doubt at all. The league's defence will be that football is no different from wrestling - it's entertainment, and they can rig it however they like - but that's not how fans see it. We demand honesty, fairness, and a single standard that's applied to all. The FA has it in for Everton, no doubt, and we've almost reached the point where an independent inquiry should be convened.
    And if the FA wants to show me a red card for writing that, then "go ahead - make my day!"

    I am also underwhelmed by him. I don't see the bags of potential that some people were touting. He's an alright player, but we paid over the odds for him. Anything over 50m, and I would accept it in a heartbeat.

    Yeah agreed.  I just don't understand the fans who got wound up cos the away fans sang his song.  I thought it was a nice touch for a player who dragged us to safety and earned us a good wedge without acting like a prick
    not one of the best players you will see but an amazing team player who gives a lot more to a team than people credit him for

    He's giving us mixed signals with all those love letters. Frankly, it is disrespectful towards Tottenham with him talking about his ex all the time. I think he might have changed his heart. He doesn't seem happy in London. That transfer didn't make sense in the first place. It definitely helped us more than him. He's not getting any trophies there, his salary isn't better, and he's not adored by the fans as he was at Everton. I can understand if he wanted to move on with his career, but certainly, Tottenham was a poor choice for him.

    He is useful but at 20m it is 5m too much, I think.
