The cost of the purchase then knocking Goodison down and removing the ‘debris’ (seems disrespectful to our home), then the redevelopment cost… with property and land costs/value - basically, Moshiri/whoever are keeping Goodison as a community site as, really, that’s the only option - it’s not a sentimental gesture - it’s lack of value. In London, the land’s worth millions but not in our location unfortunately.

Another good cameo from him last night, if he is fit enough I would like to see him start v Burnley although at the moment he seems to have more of an impact coming off the bench

I feel a bit better after reading this…

I hate this thread!!! Kudus is SO good - to think we didn’t sign him as Man U pushed so hard for Antony for £100m, who turned out to be a massive flop who Man U would be better without… I know it was only an initial loan but it all has a very Everton ‘if only’ feeling about it!

Now vata be a good signing.

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.

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!

I’ve registered my interest for every level of hospitality so far. Partly to be nosey and feed my obsession for the build. Partly hoping something is affordable and do it while my Dad is young enough and fit enough to come with me. 
 
I’ve not had a call or email back. My understanding is that they are selling this stuff like hot cakes. I expect the first five years or so will have a waiting list. Probably calm down a bit after that initial boost. 

I know in the traditional hospitality seats/lounges they have been asking people to commit to three years. Still selling them no problem. Good idea in my opinion, getting people locked in. Hospitality can be a tough market.

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!

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.

Branch? Did he leaf us for Wolves?

Replacement for Holgate? Trees have better mobility👍🏼

Yeah Lukaku had a poor first touch but he scored goals with his left foot, right foot, head, one on ones, a few from outside the box (should’ve been more imo) and I think he even slotted a couple of free kicks away as well, and got a decent amount of assists too.
I think he was pretty well rounded myself.

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!)

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).

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.
