Martinez has said he doesn't know where the dates are coming from, and very clearly said it'd be a week - 10 days before they have a better picture.

Roberto says "he is going to be out a long, long time." Ugh. http://www.evertonfc.com/news/archive/2014/08/16/barkley-injury-update

I'm a big Hajduk fan, and the player who continues to impress me is Kouassi. I really think he could become something special.

This is awful.

It's going to look nice man! Good stuff. Can't go wrong if it's an Everton jersey. (but I still think you'd be surprised how many Americans won't wear a name on their back if you asked this on a 9ers forum, say.)

I'll also weigh in on this one. I actively dislike the idea of wearing a name on my back...and the only jersey I own is a blank baseball jersey . Because it's so hard to get jerseys without names for other American sports, I end up getting tshirts or sweatshirts, etc. But hey, I'm only 26, engaged and have a couple years left in my PhD program so maybe in a year I'll switch my feelings, haha! (btw - congrats on nearly being done Joe, it's quite the long haul). In the end, forget what other people think, do what you like! Can't go wrong with the new kit!

Sounds like during this window...it'd be nice to have another winger

I don't think I've ever seen an Everton shirt in a store here (USA). I've seen barca, man united, all that crap. Everton desperately needs to visit the states more often. I want a long sleeve of the new home shirt but am torn on size. Wish I could try one on...

I'd love to bring him on. We always need more Croatians.

If we bring in a legitimate winger after this...

This is awesome.

Yedlin is dynamite. I feel like a hipster because I'm always thinking "I liked him before he got popular," ha. Curious to see how Green develops, haven't seen enough of him.

It feels like it's essentially in place, but Chelski is being a pain in the ass about the timing/delay. I just don't buy the Wolfsburg or Real rumors at all... ...of course, I don't have much to back this up.

Oh something I was also hoping to chat about: am I the only one who was disappointed by Zusi in the WC?

Couldn't agree more.

To be fair, it looked like he was just humoring some fans in the video. I don't think it's has much relevance but that doesn't seem to be the popular interpretation. I sure hope it's almost done.

I'm having trouble believing he'll end up at Wolfsburg, but what do I know?

Hey Ian, nice to hear there are some evertonians around. Any good spots you've found for the matches?

This is exactly how I would explain the issue as well. Nicely done. A more trivial issue (but still one that irks me to no end), mentioned by another poster, is our horrendous chanting. "I believe that we will win"? I'm utterly astounded that such a chant even came about. I cringe whenever I hear it and, frankly, it embarasses me.

I'm very happy with this signing. I have to imagine it will pay off quite well, considering 4m.

Thanks everyone! Hey there badaids. As far as your experiences in other cities, I think your taste is close to mine. My experiences in each of them can be summed up with similar language. However, everyone has different preferences - everywhere has it's charms and I'm sure I wasn't in the right spots. More relevant: I'd jump at the chance to live in SF, especially if you're going to live in the city. It's one of my favorite cities in the country. Even without knowing your interests, I can't imagine you would regret moving here. Disclaimer: I'm from the Central Coast (the coastal area in between southern and northern California), so I have a unique perspective on CA. What I can say is that I only ever go south (to LA and SD) when I am forced to. Growing up I habitually came up north (SF), and now I live here.

Long time lurker - I finally made an account. Quite poorly timed, I suppose, with all of us Americans descending on the forum. But hey, why not? I've loved the discussion/rumormill-antics during previous transfer windows, and I imagine it'll be fantastic once again as I obsessivly refresh the news on Henen/Bešić/Lukaku
