  1. Yep - probably silly season but Fermin Lopez stands out here. I hadn’t heard of him until recently but he looks like he’s got a bit of Gary Speed/Tim Cahill about him - arrives late in the box. The exact kind of player we need in my opinion. If he’s not going to feature at Barca long term, he’ll be a name I’ll be looking out for.
  2. 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!
  3. 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!
  4. 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!
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. Harsh - I’d point the finger at Gueye personally - didn’t get it out of his feet when there was space.
  8. 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.
  9. We’ll get money for him this summer - for that reason alone, he’s been one of our better striker signings since Lukaku
  10. 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.
  11. 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.
  12. 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!)
  13. 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).
  14. 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.
  15. 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.
  16. 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.
  17. 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.
  18. Slow sports news day so they’ll have the same stories on loop… Dyche, darts and transfer window - repeat.
  19. 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.
