That's a lot of football and not a lot of goals for a striker, true. However, he's only played three games this season so far. I know you wrote this before Lukaku signed but all signs point to Lukaku taking over. Don't you think? Just based on what I've seen so far (mostly highlights and the full game against WBA) Kone hasn't been at all impressive. As people mentioned before there were so many chances against Stevenage he should have put away you'd think a pylon (or aforementioned "corpse") would have put those chances away.

then use the external company to filter through them, then propose the best 20 or something. Or like Zoo says, take some and clean them up.
 
Me too, but agree completely that it needs to be updated.
 
And there are still some belters out there:

my favourite so far:
 
 

He's included in the team of the week by Sky.

This bit really bothers me though
 
 
Really... because we really missed a beat when we shipped out Rodwell to fill City's bench and the local player quota. The players we couldn't hold onto in recent years are very few far and in between. I thought we really would miss Arteta but we did okay; Pienaar left, saw that he made a mistake and came back; Rooney leaving brought us the core group of players we have today... Lescott fattened up our funds as well. I don't understand what they're on about

That's because Liverpool generally spends over twice as much for any given player, and they have finished below us in the league two years running.
 
Just saying that Liverpool shouldn't be used a benchmark when it comes to signing players.

Premiership strikers do not come cheap. I am with Haf on this one, it's not the deal of the century.
 
He is a decent player. £5M is probably a fairish price age verses quality wise. I would expect him to get between 10-15 goals easy enough in our team, and even two seasons out of him doing that's decent enough as the squad develops. A fairly low risk signing, he is based in the north west, has played well under Martinez for 12 months, so will hit the ground running under the new manager (most probably better than most players we have in the squad). So in that way he might be the right signing at the particular moment in time.
 
He's not going to be coming in on silly wages either.
 
I think Martinez will generally go with bringing youth through, but he's not going to do this over night in a new squad, Kone will be a good 'bedding in' signing for the new Martinez regime. He is a signing for this season and not really the future.
 
I not sure the doom and gloom is called for just quite yet.

Here's Francis Jeffers on it:

Time for Neville to retire me thinks, especially with our new signings, there is no need for him to be anywhere near the first team

i just think most need not be fuckin idiots or pansies and get offended or flustered by comments..if you do get offended then it was probably sarcastic..if it wasn't sarcastic it was probably me and you probably deserved it

I'm okay with that. It's kind of like putting it like this: Would you rather have a player or would you rather have a slightly older player doing exactly the same thing; nothing more nothing less but you get £12-odd million. I know what my answer would be

Marouane just bossed the game today. Jags was impeccable too but at the end of the day, it has to be Felli for me

I haven't even heard of half of the artists and recordings on this page.
 
Depeche Mode, Just Can't Get Enough. Audios and visuals
 
Fuck me, Dollar is on now... (anyone old enough to remember needs no explanation)
 
Off goes the damn sound.

Please retire Owen.

That 4-4 draw last season we ran Rafael ragged. I'm hoping for most of the same

From what I remember most of the cards Baines received last year were from intentional foul as the last defender to prevent a scoring chance. He knew full well what he was doing. That's taking a calculated risk, not playing dirty

Can I just say that I am overly ecstatic to see Barkley's breakthrough season!!??
 
But then again I was the same way last season and was majorly disappointed when he got dropped to the reserves.

This bit sums Tony up for me...
 

Not sure if Rodwell would make the line up? Could easily see Felli with Gibbo and Barkley or Naismith behind Jelly. I personally haven't had the chance to watch any pre-season stuff but I've been hearing that Rodwell has looked very pedestrian in games... Also Distin instead of Jags? I'd like to see:
 
Howard
Hibbert Heitinga Distin Baines
Fellaini Gibson
Osman Barkley Pienaar
Jelavic

Hi there,
 
Everton fan from Canada. Been an Everton fan since 2002. Sad to say the initial reason for following them was because of Shrek (Rooney)... At the time I was young enough to be caught up in all the hype of the teenage wonder that was Rooney and had never had a favourite team. But even when he left for Man U the blue virus had spread and there was no turning back. Once you go blue you never... huh? Ha ha
 
Kind of odd because I've never even been to Goodison let alone Liverpool... One day though. As much as I'd love to see a new stadium I'd love for Goodsion to remain for my own selfish reason for visitng it one day.
 
Anyway, looking forward to all the toffee talk to come! COYB!
