Depending on cost and wages I'd much rather him to Evans. He would be worth signing to a decent contract in case stones leaves in a year or so as well. I like this move.

I agree with this completely

Glad I'm not the only one who wants to give the youth a chance. No thanks on this guy.

Great article dunc. I agree that RM had a way of being positive and getting confidence in players where it was lost previously. Barry, Lennon, Barkley, naisy, to some extent lukaku. I think he would be able to revive himself here.

Yeah from what I've seen he won't be challenging lukaku for top spot but could be an upgrade on Kone. He's 27 so he has that as well. If on a cheap it could be useful, otherwise I'd rather the creative player and wingers.

Sell him and play besic I'm only half serious

Dude it was crazy. 1-1 at half and on comes yedlin Williams and wood, off johansson beckerman and Shea. We're now down 3-1 it's over. Then we start playing counter attack. Brooks on a quick one and goal. Then we attack more and more on the counter get a corner and Williams hammers it in. He looked really good centrally. And now it's stoppage time the Dutch are like wtf how is America tied with us and boom Michael Bradley (please watch, takes it from our own half, gets tackled but stays up keeps going through 3 more guys passes to Jordan Rhodes who's puts a cross for bobby wood and bang we win. Wild last half hour man. Our back line was woeful though. Chandler orozco, brooks, Shea, Alvarado got hammered. I fear for them against Germany. Bradley was immense though. As the creative ACM he was the sole reason those counter attacks worked, he had a hell of a match.

Maybe you're just thinking the U.S. Game. He played very well the other 2 matches they played.

they just call it a life sentence nowadays but i catch your drift.

just beat the dutch 4-3, hell yeah! goals by brooks, wood, zardes, and williams.

jurys still out for everyone i believe. had some good spells this year, but RM won't play him. could turn out either way.

if they put it at 50m no one would bid, he's massively overrated and 27, i don't think anyone would pay 30m for him. why not a 50m or 40m buyout? that's my point, 150 is stupid.

after seeing how the goodison faithful treated ross and how a lot of people treat lukaku on here and elsewhere i'm not surprised in the least to see this. "most knowledgeable fanbase" it may be, but sometimes also the hardest on players and unforgiving. let's hope we are able to turn the corner with tom and not treat him like we did naisy we he first arrived.

never thought of that. great point mike. dyke has come out and said no 2018 or 2022 in england so it's off.

lol is he still on the payroll? when is that contract up?

the more and more it's been coming the more i've warmed up to it. glad to have him as a blue. i hope he does play in a more advanced role though, the last thing we need is more dcm's (sorry ten).

then why put one in? it's stupid. either put a reasonable one in, or don't put one at all. it's just being daft as the english say.

you're crazy man. this is everton not chelsea. we have WAY more pressing needs, sure i'd love yaya toure in there as well, but we can't afford him. Winger, Creative, and CB are WAY more needed than a DCM. MCcarthy and Besic do a job, Barry when not playing every match will do a job as well. Not sure why you'd want 5 DCM when we only have 1 RB? makes no sense

okay here it is revised Good Lukaku, Gerry, McCarthy, Lennon, Besic, Barry Bad Alcaraz, Kone, McGeady, Traore 6 to 4, still good odds. you can count Barkley's resurgence down to him as well but he wasn't his signing.

i'm with you matt, but mc doesn't see it that way, giving him the benefit of the doubt. even if you consider barry bad it's 5 and 3, for you and me it's 6 and 2. solid return in the transfer market.

wouldn't they just play all the matches in london? there's arse, spurs, chelsea, wembley, west ham , palace. that's 6 stadiums right there.

looked good in the WC for portugal. not sure how old he is but depending on price could be a nice signing.

no thanks, didn't like him and his dirty ways in the WC either. studs up for every tackle agaisnt the US.

talking shite mc. lukaku, gerry, mccarthy, lennon, besic. i'm very happy with all those. only knocks are kone, barry, alcaraz. 5 good, 3 bad, that's a great return mate.

spot on. on a side note the pedro deal is ridiculous, 150m buyout clause? he's a super sub, i don't think anyone would pay 50m for him, he's 27 already! anyways i completely agree, i don't think he would fit at atletico cause he's not a super hard working defender type. the only thing i could see him doing other than being sold is being loaned to a worse side so he could start every match in hopes he would do well and increase his value. but i'm hoping barca just sell him now to us, or a loan to buy or something.
