London Blue

China Vase, great but fragile its a no.

Didn't we concede 7 when we qualified for the champs league years back?

Besic will get some game time this season and I genuinely believe he is a Koeman type player, a no-nonsense, high energy, with good passing and technique. Hopefully we will have lots of extra games next season so will need Besic and others in our squad. If he can stay injury free he will be an important squad player for us.

Please be true!

Good squad player, offers energy, direct running and is a threat. Would like him for about 8 million as long as we keep playing and developing talent like Lookman and DCL. He cant be the sole back-up to Lukaku so if he stays and Lukaku does we still need a striker in.

Hope it gets signed soon, will be a real boost to the Summer if we can get Ross's contract soted out. Clearly loves the club and is one of us.

Happy Birthday

And its Easter, maybe its a sign....

Everton have banned the Sun which is great news. While I am a massive supporter of free speech, we must be free to say if you write vile lies then we are free to choose who can and can't be on our premises.

He, and the inferior toilet paper he works for are beyond contempt. They appear to have a vendetta against Merseyside and anything associated with it. To release this article on the eve on the anniversary of Hillsborough is both deliberate and contemptible. I hope the club now bans the Sun from all Everton properties and events. After all, its the only language they understand.

I agree ban the lying, racist bastards.

Much better than movable stands, the one's at West Ham have been a nightmare, breaking down and being unreliable.

stones money

A Toffeetalk first.

Agree, talk down hear in gooner land was that Koeman was already slotted to replace Wenger, he must have known this when he left to join us. The way Arsenal are set up by the board is to qualify for the Champs league, not to win the title, I'm not saying they don't go out to win, but the board only puts enough money in to achieve the top four place. If he goes Koeman will know that he will not have the resources he has here, and I would argue we have a better squad than Arse with more money to spend. If Koeman goes it will be to Barca.

Well played U23's. Looks like first half was poor then Unsy ripped them a new one, and they then ripped Spurs one! Good performances from Galloway, Sambou, DCl, Lookman, Dowell and Besic - well second half anyway.

Good, hope he gets some game time.

True, but Pennington has only played a handful of games. I'm not saying he is John Stones, but he does have qualities, lets just see how he develops.

Barkley, ran the midfield with his passing and movement. Jags was back to his best and another great game from Davies after a tough couple. MIralas was great and always a threat and I think Holgate was so assured. Hell, everyone played well.

Why? He played well in the first team when required.

Gave away the foul, but Robles should have saved the cross. Pennington has had a baptism of fire over the last 2 weeks, and he has improved with every game, shown character and passed a tough test against Leicester. I think he has the skills to be a good defender, how far he will go its too early to say, but to write him off now is way too premature.

Deserved MOTM today.

I thought he played well today, he got better and better as the match went on. While he is not blessed with pace, he has good heading ability, his positional sense for a youngster is good, and he has ability on the ball. A player for the future.

Depends on the terms of the deal, if we have a sell on clause.

His passing average is one of the best in the team, I've just finished a 10 hour shift but I'll find the stats when I get a chance. I don't think there has been a player who's every attempt to create a chance results in success, but you have to try or you create nothing, and Ross does try and does create. I'm not saying he is perfect or the finished article but he does create chances and does make the team tick. I agree he is not a natural No 10, but he is a creative player who operates best when he is given a free (ish) role as an inside right.
