A great example how deluded some people are.

"He turned down Bayern Munich."

"Well, he could still choose us."

Whatever. He can still fuck off.

That military salute should be enough to kick the him out of the club. Turks are killing kurds in Syria and those wankers are doing a military salute.

Klopp?

He's Dutch, isn't he? They are pretty liberal with such things.

Missing so many good names that this was a bit pointless. I'd start with Ten Haag, look at Gallardo, consider Schmidt (although he would be huge risk but at least it would be entertaining). Not sure if Nagelsmann is out of our reach but he's not at a big club at the moment. And I'd check if van Bronckhorst will be the heir to the throne. If it's Arteta, then I'd go with him. At least he has managerial experience.

Oh, and stats boys seem to like Adolf Hutter.

There's a good article in The Athletic about Silva. Most interesting tidbit is he'd like to play 4-3-3 but injuries have stopped him from doing that. He would want to play Delph, Gomes and Gbami in midfield and Iwobi, Richarlison and DCL or Kean up front. So no space for  Gylfi.

That article also claims that team spirit is good and players do like Silva and his methods. They don't blame him for the slump.They don't really want a new coach with yet again new ideas and style.

Howe has made some excellent signings at Bournemouth. 

He has also made some shockingly bad ones.

Let's stop with the Mourinho calls. If Brands decides to pull the trigger there are other interesting choices to look at. Marcelino and Gallardo have been suggested elsewhere and would be more interesting choices. Gallardo might actually be in Brands' radar already considering he knows the South American market. Marcelino did a great job at Valencia and was basically sacked over backroom stuff.

We’re they sold or loaned?  I can update

Loaned. Think one or both have option to buy as well.

That list is not complete, not going to comb through everything but at least Connolly and Hornby are missing from it.

I'm not sure about this dick waving but in case someone actually does want to check the results, this site is good for that: https://www.evertonresults.com/seasons.htm.

I’m sat here after just dropping him off at his mums house just made up. We really are the people’s club. One of the women doing the tour was older than dust. She didn’t half know her stuff. Got to sit on mr morishi’s seat aswell. Had a look down the back. Fuck all there 

You should have checked behind Bill's seat instead.

You’d break up Bernard and Digne? I honestly thought you’d say put him next to Gomes

Silva already said he plans to play Iwobi on the left. 

Nine out of ten times he would have gotten a freekick for all of those challenges where he lost the ball. Benteke clearly pushed him from behind. Think that might have rattled him.

Spurs is also definitely a winner. N'dombele looks great, Sessegnon is a big talent and Lo Celso should also be good. If they don't loose Erikssen before European deadlines they are much stronger this season.

Thing is, who of the same quality would be willing to come to Everton? It's easy to list players but they tend to want European football and there aren't that many players as good as Zaha who are not already regulars in a club that regularly plays in Europe.

No issues about Schneiderlin except he costs about 6 million per year. That's a bit steep for a sub. 

Richarlison can also play up front in a pinch. And we still have Niasse...

It doesn't matter how good or bad they are if they dont play, its only for cover.

So why have cover if they don't play? I mean if they are needed it does make a difference if those players are shite or not.

Can't understand why they sent Jonjoe out on loan and then look to buy a fullback, JJ and Holgate could cover for seamus whenever they're needed.

Maybe they don't think JJ and Holgate are good enough and worry about Coleman's fitness or just think he needs upgrading as well?

Kean has played on the left wing on several occasions.

Houston we have a problem.

Just been reading up that his interception rate is even higher than Ganas, which means his positioning is even worse doesn’t it?

I would think it's the other way around. You need to tackle if you fit caught out in the wrong position while intercepting a pass means you were in the right place.

Yeah leave the £40m 17 year old signings for the clubs who already have a star striker and are playing European football. 

It's not going to be 40 million up front. More like 15 million and the rest are bonuses.

This just sounds the typical fan stuff. We want to pick other club's players for next to nothing while our guys who have hardly played should cost tens of millions. And while we don't want any clauses when the club buys someone of course other clubs willingly add them to any deals where they buy one of our players.

Basically this is "we are special" stuff which I'd leave to that other lot across the park.
