  1. Part of me is tempted by one of the Club Everton - whatever they’re calling the food/drink lounge/street food deals… if it’s £800 for just the seat - I often spend £50 by the time I’ve had food and a few beers - over the course of a season anything under £2k and it’d probably be worth it if enough food/drink are included. About £100 game sounds ridiculous when compared to what we’re used to paying but sadly it is what it is!
  2. Garner had a horrible game but I think Dyche likes to keep him and McNeill on for their set-piece delivery. Bar the crosses/assist, McNeill was at least as bad as Garner too!
  3. Tarkowski did well all game - Godfrey was okay - Onana and Harrison should have started and Pickford made a couple of decent saves but overall that was shocking - a change in their system and we had no ideas. Should have been 3 points but we lack any pace and craft whatsoever so end up just playing in front of teams and you’ll get punished more often than not. Only positive was… I didn’t go with it being a Monday night game!
  4. Oops - rogue rather! Callum O’Hare impressing again for Coventry - free agent in the summer. I’d love him here. More of a 10 than a winger but a class playmaker at Championship level anyway.
  5. I like him for what we are currently. We are desperate for a bit of pace and dynamism on the wings but that either comes at sky high cost or comes in the form of a ‘young rouge’ who’s likely to have as many off days as great days - players we’ve seen here like Geri, Gordon and Lookman. As above, Harrison, for anything up to £20m is a no-brainer for me as, like McNeil, he’s steady - both put in a shift and are a threat going forward. If we have McNeil and Harrison as a starting point, it makes it so much easier to give minutes to a ‘live wire’ winger who’s got a bit of magic but may not be as good putting the miles in in tougher battles.
  6. Harsh - I’d point the finger at Gueye personally - didn’t get it out of his feet when there was space.
  7. Idrissa put in a great shift today… thought Garner did well alongside him and think Harrison is our best option as 10 when Doucoure is out… and yes, I don’t mind Young on the right wing when Harrison’s 10 - all I care about is results this is our best bet (in my opinion) with what we’ve got.
  8. We’ll get money for him this summer - for that reason alone, he’s been one of our better striker signings since Lukaku
  9. Of course - he’s arguably our most important player. Bar Branthwaite and Onana - I don’t see many teams chasing our players and, if we need to sell, sadly, Doucoure for £Xm with his value probably peaking… I would - you wouldn’t but it won’t stop the powers that be if Doucoure shows any interest - which I don’t actually think he will.
  10. Far too important to lose… BUT if it’s ridiculous money (with some available to reinvest), the club can’t turn it down. Unfortunately, that’s where we are - no player is untouchable.
  11. You may as well get mentally prepared now for Coleman and Young as our right side… won’t always be pretty but will probably be effective - defensively more than offensively. It’ll be a case of bringing Dobbin or another on when the old legs have gone (probably 10minutes after it’s obvious!)
  12. I don’t think he’ll be here beyond the window personally - I do think we’ll replace with someone who’s more natural on the right which will allow Harrison to play at 10. I don’t think Danjuma’s replacement will be a starter though as think Young will be Dyche’s first choice at right wing when fit (and Harrison playing 10).
  13. Billy Ingham - made famous as the face of a Sky Sport ad campaign a few years ago. Lovely chap - used to drink in the Taxi Club pre-match. Our Bill, is Bill Pattie.
  14. Echo all the sentiment above - Bill was and always will be a huge part of ToffeeTalk. I remember him as one of the mods when I first joined and had his own forum on standby whenever ToffeeTalk needed a few more pennies to keep the lights on - it was often ‘down’ and Bill’s forum filled the void. As above, I didn’t always share Bill’s views on Everton but he was clearly a huge Evertonian. Love to @patto and family Finally, @patto I think it’s kind of cool that you and @Bill never revealed your link.
  15. Sadly, yes, and I’m pretty sure he doesn’t travel well, in fact he won’t get on no planes, fool… but that may be one of his teammates.
  16. I know he’s not in United’s A-Team but let’s Face it, they’ve got more options. We need to be smart with finances or the powers that be may Dock mur points - overall, I think he’d B A decent signing. I love it when a plan comes together.
  17. Slow sports news day so they’ll have the same stories on loop… Dyche, darts and transfer window - repeat.
  18. Not an EFC link but I like the look of this lad and that’s a great price. Don’t know if we are even interested or could afford a deal but this is the kind of player/deal that I’d be happy seeing us involved in.
  19. I hadn’t considered, this lad will be away with Australia for the Asia Cup - I think so anyway.
  20. We need a young centre mid ready to step in but very much squad for now but we also need a more experienced Brownhill/ Harrison Reed (names mentioned and realistic) type who can do a job straight away. Having Doucoure AND Gueye out has stretched us too far. Gomes’ return is encouraging but we’re still short in central midfield - the Wolves game is the stand-out but not being able to make the changes in Fulham, Spurs and Man C game resulted in defeats.
  21. I guess Lyon/Villarreal would have to buy out or compensate the remaining 6months of the loan deal. There’ll be a way to sort it if all parties are willing.
