Has their ever been a weaker opposition than Starmer? Pick a side. https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2021/jul/26/dawn-butler-was-right-to-call-boris-johnson-a-liar-says-keir-starmer?fbclid=IwAR108BKyvgWuW5F2gB70uAeVqzXz0ZCSZLgH8C52OPLniZ2luVkcvYGC_EA

Should start the negotiations at the Coutinho fee. Let them spread out the costs if need be. Not like we need the cash, we just need it on the balance sheet.

Lucky to win. But the result was secondary, good fitness workout and the players look sharper than most preseasons.

Premier League or farmers league. Just depends whether he wants a challenge.

Same for me.

Like Crystal Palace. Or by offering to pay a % of the wage.

He could have done a better job off loading players to reduce the wage bill. We could have gotten a small fee from Palace for Tosun and his full wages off the books. Bernard as well depending if you believe Ancelotti wanted to keep him. Could have let Bolasie go and the club pay a % of his wages rather than leave him out the squad and pay his full wages. Same goes with Besic. Delph, Bernard, Lossl, King. All a waste of wages. Wouldn't be surprised if they earned over a million per 90 minutes played.

What's Winks got in his locker that Davies doesn't?

If he could improve his positioning and decision making he'd be the player Barcelona thought they were buying.

I'd prefer him. DCL would learn more from him, only issue is keeping him out the pub.

Replacing Walcott, with a less good Walcott.

He got 23 and 14 goals in the two seasons before signing for us. Top English scorer over the period or thereabouts. We broke our record fee to bring him, and Moyes ruined him. Barely got in double figures for us, never looked close to matching his soton record. He had a very respectful goal every 214 minutes at Soton (skewed by his early years so it's better than that if you discount his early years), compared to every 340 minutes under Moyes. How can you win a pen when your never in the box? He weren't forced out wide, Moyes liked his players to work hard and defend, he didn't like a striker to keep up top in the goal scoring positions. In season. How many in the league? How many after Christmas? Embarrassing when people include cup goals. Did Moyes do any wrong in your eyes?

They were all more successful before joining Everton. Doesn't matter how good Lukaku is as Moyes would have had him running the channels. I missed out Saha and Rooney, they were both better than Lukaku yet didn't close to him goal scoring wise.

Moyes had his chance to get a Lukaku when he spent big on Beatie, Johnson, and Yakubu. Moyes simply didn't know how to use strikers.

Bit weird they hadn't announced something sooner.

More to pass on his experience. Older back up keepers are more like mentors/coaches. He's not coming to play, he's coming to make Pickford better.

His support to the 96 charity is great, but I wouldn't be surprised if Alladyce gives to charity either. His actions/attitude at Liverpool with the small club comments and the treatment of Alonso are worse than anything Alladyce done whilst he was here.

See how much Barca/Real are willing to pay for Richi. Budget sorted.

I wouldn't say Benetiz is any less obnoxious. Most his success came from teams already built for him, he's left worse sides than he started with at Newcastle and Liverpool.

Find it weird that more fans are getting behind Rafa than they did Alladyce, they even took more issue with Sammy Lee. Both play negative football but at least the latter builds good foundations and can get teams to play.

Don't get why people have a problem with subs coming on to take a pen. They've been practising for 6 weeks. My issue is with those selected. I'd like to know if Rashford was doing that stupid run up in training, if so all the blame goes on Southgate.

More so when England play.

Anyone had trouble renewing? I had the email but when I go on my account it doesn't give me the option.
