  1. agreed, in the states that's highly illegal. bigtime civil rights lawsuit.
  2. i'm watching slovakia because both of my parents are slovak.
  3. haha matt sorry to hear that. i haven't gotten a new one in a long bit, like you said the last one i did was just a CD and it worked. hope you're able to get it all sorted. i think it does come with a lot of software instruments and plugins to start with.
  4. wonder how much he would be? would be interesting having 2 spanish goalies.
  5. depends on how much funds we have. anything 20m and under no thanks, i'd like 4m for him. if we have over 20m i'm okay with 6m. we have enough english and homegrown players that we can get some foreigners, and why not.
  6. what interface and softwares. i'm guessing you are PC windows?
  7. Maybe I'm missing something mike but here in the states, if I signed a new agent and it hit the press it would be fact (unless it was Fox News, they have been proven to be less than 10% factual). In England can you just make stuff up and print it without anyone caring? Is there no journalistic integrity or ethics? The people of that country are ok with this?
  8. really great point. with younger players like gerry i think it's less of an issue because they have a whole career ahead of them and want to do well to continue to improve, progress, etc. but this article is exemplified by gareth barry. played his socks off last season to secure a deal with us for longer than we should have signed. well worth it after the performance he gave last year, but now we are stuck with him, and he could possibly have less drive to win and do well since he's got the last contact of his career. not saying that's what he's doing, just that the loan can end up badly in scenarios like that.
  9. australia and new zealand in the finals. bitter rivalry for the finals, gotta love that. who usually wins between the two? not a cricket fan (cause i don't know the rules) but been following the results.
  10. would've loved to have seen that happen. poor kev would get battered.
  11. You are in the Asian WC qualifying correct? Seems you're always tops or near to it there, well done and hope you guys have another good cycle. Mile Jedinak is a beast, real player there.
  12. Watched this at work and spot on mike. I think there are plenty questioning here and saying Martinez out. Just cause it's not on these guys Twitter feed they think it doesn't exist. Only part I really agreed with is fans disappearing when we win. I agree to some extent that certain posters don't show up when we win, but on the whole TT has a good amount (granted I'm not a mod so here comes the pie in my face) of steady responders regardless. Has more to do with computer access and free time than anything. The bit about the board and kenwright, is there a supporters trust at Everton that the board talks to? I know some clubs take that input, but I haven't heard much around here about that. Anyways that would help to address some issuesc granted they might not be fixed but it would be addressed. Haha yes they never did who's to blame. Was looking forward to that and kinda let down.
  13. How much quid do you guys estimate we'll have to spend this summer? 10m? 20m?
  14. not sure the reporters are too worried about us since we're 13th. more interested in stevie g, srktl foot stamps, and louis van gaal's hair pomade.
  15. i agree with MC here mike0. if it looks like a duck, tastes like a duck, flies like a duck, smells like a duck, most likely is a duck. the situation with distin is the same thing. i'm not saying i agree with rumours and the like, but it's not like a reporter just says "i'm going to make up a story about distin bustup" and prints it (i'm skeptical of the news as well). although the story might have been complete rubbish, it didn't come out of nowhere. some shred of truth somewhere which was most likely embellished extravagently. do i agree with every story out there, no, but it's a story for a reason. looking at distin, mirallas, either they have debilitating injuries that RM is lying about, or they lost all the ability suddenly (more so with distin) to not be on match day rosters, or maybe, there just was a little bustup and RM has decided to move on without them. not out of the question. just like HAF said, these days no one wants to give the truth so they talk about it in their books after retirement. sad really. i love honesty.
  16. Lack of playing time, being on the bench. Late subs where he gets 10 min. I don't see Leon playing centrally in attack when we have Barkley who's the future. In the left his lack of speed is fine, he's just like pienaar in linking up with baines and penetrating the final third with his guile. I'm guessing next year he will be a squad player anyway, the wingers I was talking about should be 2 starters (if mirallas leaves).
  17. Pad the more I think about it you're right. Those players that are eligible will now go up in price inflating already inflated prices. Mid-to-low players who are eligible will now be in demand not cause they are good but just because they are eligible and fill a need. Not to mention we just sold a bunch of academy lads because they couldn't cut it (Kennedy, gk, mcaleny?, etc). Let's hope these u18 and u21 lads all turn into Harry Kane's. Meanwhile the teams with money will be fine. Just like FFP this is designed to protect the big boys.
  18. We don't have any. Lennon is on loan, mcgeady injured and out of form, Osman too old, piennaar too old and injured, atsu on loan. Mirallas is our only winger proper and he and RM had a falling out. If he leaves we'll need at least 3 in, ossie can still play but he's the only one is want out there of that lot.
  19. Agreed. Barry will be back in a flash.
  20. so nottingham forest are still big time? playing in the championship without ever really cracking into the promotion playoff spots? i get where you're coming from, but players don't look at history to decide where a transfer should go, they look at money and league position/europe. we are small time on all 3 currently (key word, we looked a lot different last year, had league postiion and europe, still not a lot of money).
  21. agree to disagree then, we'll see where they end up and how they do, vault me if you must.
