Its not sudden. We need someone to feed our goalscorer. 1st season, with a new dynamic, we were unknown to a degree; defensive resilience on top of fast attacking play based on new believe after being so predictable and sussed for 10 years. Then, Martinez stepped up his ideal of being "Spain 2008"; he did a gentle introduction to his philosophy to full blow "this is how I want to play". He wants to control possession more than he did in the first season, which was almost a Holloway approach of "we'll out score you, bring it". It was quick and confident initially which went to "Fuck! I don't want the ball! But the boss says 'keep the ball' errrrrrr, you have it!" = panic and then mistakes.
 
We need that someone who is actually capable of linking up play, with the ideal of building from the back and can facilitate and chance creation to the person bought to put it in the net. We don't have that, so we're asking that big lad up front to do the job as if Walter Smith and Joe Walker are still in charge.
 
Martinez is 5-7 years behind the game or a purist to boring football. The future is pressure football. Vault me.
 
Sorry dude. Stopped paying much attention after that statement. Barry has never played a more advanced role past the centre cirlce.

Can still do a job for us this year and will have an impact on games if he's used in the right way.

I don't get the negativity surrounding Osman
 
I agree he shouldn't be starting but he can still come on and have a positive impact on games for us. Its not like he has ever had any pace to lose, he just doesn't look like he has a full 90 minutes in him nowadays

The right way would be mostly from the bench and if the opposition don't have a lot of pace.

I wouldn't want to join a club were even the fans are getting hamstring injuries

Everton's transfer activity summed up by penguins.
 

 
Yep. Being left behind...

Let's hope the three newly promoted teams are poor, very poor.
 
This squad even with an injury or two, under Moyes would have easily have been safe and probably even pushing 7th, under Martinez, or at least how he was for major parts last season, I can see us struggle.He ( Martinez ) doesn't seem to get the best out of the players hence other teams don't fear us.
 
How can I say that about a team that includes Baines, Coleman, Stones, Jags, Barkley, Deulofeu, Mirallas, Pienaar, Lukaku, Cleverley and some other half decent players, McCarthy etc.
 
Really can't understand what went wrong !
 
Maybe Martinez has had a reallity check, he better have had, after Watford we've got a long run of games that on last years form we can easily lose.
 
Oh and Mr Martinez, can we at least play something like exciting football, I can't stand another season like the last one.

They aren't going to get Kroos. He's on another tier to that lot. Liverpool can't attract that calibre atm. Kroos will want to play CL football.

Screw you guys I want the $20 ?

Ha ha So Let me get this right, It's Bill Kenwright's fault that Patto thinks £35M is adequate ?

Oh Philip!

You're right they're cheeky bastards. It's a derisory offer and we should tell them to shove it right up their arse.
 
The email back should read..
 
Dear Chelsea,
 
Hi, thanks for the offer for John, afterwe picked ourselves up off the floor following the fits of laughter we had after reading it, we re-read it incase we mistook the 2 in 25 for a 5 but no we definitely read it right.
 
Now we have composed ourselves enough from the giggle fits we've been having atter reading your valuation we would like to take this opportunity to remind you you sold a player who was error prone and couldn't defend for 50 million the fact he had hair like Dennis Rusos should have devalued him in our eyes but you still deemed it acceptable to pull PSGs kecks down with it. We can categorically tell you now our kecks are fastened tightly and our belts are done up sound.
 
Mangala was 32, Luke Shaw 30 so how much crack cocaine have you been smoking to think John Stones is worth 25?
 
Unless you are prepared to come back with an offer of 55 million (fifty five) then kindly take your offer and shove it up your Portugese managers arse as he quite clearly has his head up there so could perhaps read it better from that angle.
 
Yours sincerely
 
Everton Football Club.
 
Ps, John says hi.

The law of averages would suggest that sooner or later one player will !

£25m is an insult. To the club and to Stones. Shaw went for £30m and he's just an over rated chubby lad. Mangala went for £32m and he's a glorified Titus fucking Bramble. John Stones is the future of the England defence.

Looking at the first three games means it could just be a case of me blowing a blood gasket, so lets go down the comic book route and call it Death In The Family .

Romey's Analysis of How he Thought Each Player did in Each Game Throughout the Season Thread 2015/16
 
Catchy, I know.

Sorry mate was replying to Steve. You must have got your post in first.
I do agree with you.

Of course they could
 
Moyes did it for 10 years without spending money
Any manager who could bring discipline and organisation to our back 4 would improve results

Wherever he plays just play him in that one position and stop moving him about.

Retrogressive : 1. To return to an earlier, inferior, or less complex condition. 2. To go or move backward.
 
 
We have just had our worst season in over a decade so I don't think it would be a backward step

If we were competing in a league that only involved Everton then that would be valid, but seeing as we have to play and beat these other teams I think it's quite relevant who they buy!
