Mina going off isn’t a bad thing!!

he’s been shocking and a liability playing out from the back!!

100% agree...although not great for future games with God out.....and we've used 2 subs already.

Stage is set...shows us what you can do.

Never want to see anyone injured but we are going to be much better without Gray. Not for the season of course, he has contributed a lot but just now rather than cross hit he farted about and it ended up back with CB via Gomes.

Gordon looks amazing and gomes/allan composed (eventually). Mina is a liability so far and Gray is doing his best "fancy pants" impression and looks shit.

It's not that I don't like Donny, he has great potential. would have liked an option to buy.

 Delli Ali was tearing up trees at  one stage but not recently. If we can rekindle that form, then good buy. Just a nagging doubt, why would Spurs let him move.

Sorry for the negativity. You must agree we've had our fingers burnt a few times over recent years in the transfer market.

Anyway, let's start picking up points and move up the table.

 

Absolutely agree on the fingers burned comment. More times than not it has to be said. At least this time we didn't spend 40-50M and top wages and long contracts. 
 

onwards and upwards like you say.

We are paying his wages, while giving him a trial for United.

 

So you don't like this deal and you don't like the Delli alli deal...can you share what deal and for who, you  would you have done this window to try and keep us up?

Nailed it!!

That's 2 years to upgrade his contract depending on performances, not 5 years for doing nothing. 

And it's tied to the same length as the manager. Could be smart based on how we have churned over managers. We will sign players some of the new buys on the same length of contract.

Either Ashley Cole is on the staff or someone at Everton got confused today. 
 

 

Someone replied to that tweet with the fact that Myolenko will be coached by Baines and Cole....if he can't cut it with those 2 training them god knows.

How do we possibly now have 40m?  If we have that, how can we be spending it on a very hit and miss attacker while we're leaking goals and desperately need an every day CB leader.  FRRIIICKCKCKCK

 

Because it's a lay away plan. Zero down and £10M-£40M in the future. If any one else is available for that deal this year, I am sure we would be listening.

Surely the 20 games clause is not just for this season. We're not smart enough to be able to slip something like that in there. 

Come to think of it, feels like that's something that could easily be slipped past us on a deal without anyone in the front office noticing

No it's 20 games full stop but he won't breach that mark this year so we won't have to pay it until next year. We will pay for it with all the wages we save (Gylfi, Cenk etc)

Wonder what his wages are?

Depending on how the £40M is structured, I think basically it's a 6 month loan without being a loan. We would need to sell him or let him rot.

Our back room staff are going to be better than our first team

Get John Terry in (even though he is a complete T**T). He can teach them how to defend set pieces.

"For too long, the Toffees have been happy to look on their doorstep for signings, rather than venturing out into Europe for value.

Signings such as Yannick Bolasie, Alex Iwobi and Gylfi Sigurdsson suggests there was a lack of clever scouting going on at Goodison Park."

Pretty much sums it up!

He was excellent when Ajax got the champions league final (or semi) a few years back. De Legit and Frankie DeJong got big moves but I think this lad stayed one more year. Can't talk about how he's done in prem but doesn't seem like she had a chance..could be another Klassen I suppose. 

Doesn't seem to say demanded here. I think this is more likely. A key interview question from the club would have been about the window - assessing whether the candidates had a form plan. Lampard would've given a few names.

It's not illegal if it is in the code of conduct.

plenot of example of fines for conduct. Kane was fined for missing training.

This is a decent watch, and this swayed me into wanting him a few weeks ago. Nothing mind blowing, just seems like a good bloke, who knows the game and doesn’t take himself too seriously, while still ambitious. 
 

 

Excellent watch. 

Jody F***ing Morris….oh well I can’t have nice things I guess.

Who was Frank’s crew when he was at Derby and Chelsea….just wondering if Dunc/Baines etc are going to be kept around (would be stupid not to)

Tick tock. Surprised some of the more reliable in the knows aren't reporting.
