Forever ton

That from the Everton site? I'm talking about the interview on CH. 5. He looked like a man who had reached the end of the line.

I've got to agree Romey, I've started a thread in the general discussion to ask what others thought on it and who would replace him if he were to go...

i assume somebody will now start a thread - 'will beating Newcastle kickstart our season?'

I watched the aftermatch interview on CH5 and, reading between the lines, I got the impression that all is not well in the Everton household. Now, I know his team had just been knocked out of the cup but he was certainly getting a bit tetchy when asked about his contract, saying "yes, something may happen in a given timescale" (or something along those lines.

I'm wondering what the general consensus is regarding DM. Do you want to see him fired for our terrible start, no wins at home, no clean sheets at all and out of two cups by October, yet he's still demanding a lot more money?

If you answer 'Yes', who could you see coming in to replace him and what money would you expect the new gaffer to be demanding for the priviledge?

Me personnaly, I would like to see him stay and sort out the mess he has got us in. I don't think he's become a terrible manager overnight and I just cannot see there being a better option in regards to managers out of work.

Jesus, Osman is going to have his work cut out!!!! And couldnt you be a bit more precise with your predictions!!!

I'm usually an optimist and my glass is always half full but tbh, I can only see one outcome here. I'm going to predict a 3-1 win for the shite am afraid and it wouldn't surprise me if we went ahead only to lose three goals to school boy errors. Also, if I were a betting man I would throw at least 50 quid on Keane to bag his first league goal. :angry2:

What is it with our defence in Europe, Yobo is consistently brilliant in the league but in Europe last year and tonight he's been shocking, they could have scored more goals. The first goal was abysmal from Lescott but where the hell where the rest of the defence when the guy was tapping it in? Yobo and Jags just stood watching. Then Yobo let a guy totally run away from him and we somehow cleared off the line, then the own goal was just criminal, he should have got a shout but still, it was pretty bad from Yobo as well. We've actually played well going forward, Arteta has been superb, always probing always keeping it on the deck. Osman has made a difference as well, lovely first goal. We look dangerous when we keep it on the ground, could be a very exciting team once Pienaar is back again. Just like to say well done Anichebe, looks a different player this season, full of energy, good stamina and workrate - he and Vaughan could provide a big boost up front throughout this season. Oh and brilliant goal from the Yak, no surprise there as he is brilliant.

What is it with our defence in general of late. How can such a solid unit from last season become so sloppy after having a summer break. I thought they were supposed to be back refreshed and rady to carry on where they left off.!

great shot!!!

 

2-2

what a beauty.!

We're going to have to score about three away from home to progress to the group stages!!!

Best start planning for a good domestic cup run on this showing!!

Why does the commentator keep saying it's Ossie's first game of the season?

 

The Rat should put him right .

I've noticed that! Dont you just hate 'know it all' commentators.!!!

On the first ten minutes here I wish he had been f'king dropped .

 

Very poor.

I started this thread and I'm trying not to say... 'I told you so'..!!

Before I have all the Lescott fans deriding me, I am a huge fan of his, but, I think that maybe he has become complacent and needs dropping to the bench for a game or two so that he picks up his game.

We have strong competition now, especially across the back when all fit, and I dont think it is right that Lescott is an automatic pick just because he's done so well for us in the last couple of seasons. I say drop him for the Hull game and make him work extra hard in training to prove he is worthy of a starting place in the Derby....

Anybody have anything to add to that? Anyone agree/disagree?

I'm off to bed now chaps.... Hopefully I'll wake up to some decent news.....

just heard about a transfer for the skunks on SS so there are definitely stories still filtering through to Sky...

OS is down right now, wonder if its to add the 'breaking news' page!!??

well done everton fucking outrageous summer you tw*ts

Not happy then fussybear???

heard bluekipper got the nod he's in liverpool

Fook me, I thought it was Obinho who was the jet heeled winger!!!

First they said 90.000/month, but this has been changed to per week. In Belgium we don't have the habit if working with weekly numbers. Players don't make that much here

I just dont see DM agreeing to pay some untried 20 yr old 90k euros a week....

16.000.000 euros is 13.000.000 pounds ------- not much more than we paid for Yakubu. What bothers me is the salary thats quoted (90.000 euros), thats just over 70.000 pounds a week, thats a lot of money for us.

I think its a done deal. All these papers are quoting a 5 year deal, the fee, and the wages.

I read it was 90,000 Euros a month (net) so probably around £30k a week gross....

In the meantime, what a sad reflection of modern day footballers that Robinho signs for City...for footballing reasons obviously!

Yeah, probably about 150,000 reasons a week I reckon!!

hmm i'm a little disappointed at the moment but 35 mins left and here's hoping we've kept it all quiet and announce 2-3 good quality players that we've signed through the day at midnight....after that I will keep to my word - forget the last 3 months and focus on supporting the team we have.

Thinking with your heart there Johno, not your head in regards to transfers but I'm with you on the second part of your post. Whoever does or does not sign, come tomorrow, we'll still be behind the blues...

I still don't think we'll sign anyone. If he'd signed it would definitely be on the official site by now.

I'm in total agreement, however, there have been times in the past when deals have gone through with just a minute to spare so, we live in hope!!! :suicide_anim:

yep, I'm having problems with the site too, just gone down.

 

back up and no news! I give up!

I've just tried and got on, top story is Carlo Nash signing! Whoopee Doo!

Fella already posted that link. 2 other papers in belgium running the story as well.

If this is a dnoe deal, why are no english sources reporting it??? I wouldnt hold my breath!

i thought the evertonian was 15?

who did he assault on the pitch?

10 - 15.... does it really matter???

Dabo for one, it may have been a training pitch but he was actually his own team member!!

Line up pending transfers:

 

------Howard------

Jacobsen---Yobo---Lescott---Baines

Messi---Arteta---Castillo---Robinho

------Yakubu----Obinna-----

 

Bench: Turner, Moutinho, Zigic, Vaughan, Neville, J Cole, Anichebe

 

I reckon there's enough there to see off Stoke

I just heard from my mums hairdresser that Messi has turned down the £8.50 per hour we were offering (greedy bastard..) and Robinho wont come because he's worried he may only get a handful of starts with all the amazing players we have here at the minute.!!

I'm sure if we played in Red and lived on the other side of the Park his work permit would have been granted! No wonder we fuckin hate the shite (special dispensation F fuckin C).....
