Matt

cant see anything but a whitewash for City. Their team is scary on paper!

thanks and damn you at the same time! On the tip of my tongue!!!!! This is going to drive me nuts!!!!!

always liked, but never understood the hype. Agree, he will do we'll at Fulham

damn... Can't do it from iPad, anyone want to sub?

Pearl Harbour?

I dont get it though, you guys are one of the richest clubs in the world so why try and scrimp!? I sympathize a bit; we moan that we dont spend money, but because we dont have any. Having the money and not spending, then losing out on key targets must be unbelievably frustrating! Im also amazed that this guy clearly didnt watch the previous seasons transfer windows, where City almost refuse to reinforce then drifted away. Add to that the retirement of such an important figure at the club and arrival at the (planned) long term successor - if there was a time to splash the cash to assure fans and the new manager, its now.

you predicting he will have England and Champions League experience in 9 months?

The only bit i disagree with. its not the fans that should suffer here, the person/people responsible should get the flak.

I imagine the city centre but I'd wait for one of the more regulars answer

didnt see the game, thanks for clearing that up.

example please. i only ask because we never have money to continually bid for players, at least not in my life time. Kone had a release clause - we matched it, regardless of it being slightly inflated (in my opinion), without fuss. for sure you can bid, by all means. if a club says not for sale, that means the players are not for sale. if the club gives a price, you negotiate. Everton have said neither player is for sale. End of discussion. Why is it so insulting? 12m was rejected for Europes most creative player and one of the best leftbacks in the world weeks ago. 12m. Try getting Marcelo for that, or Alba. Or Walker (i know hes a RB) if you want an English comparison - though he is 4 years younger. Think about Ashley Cole in his prime, around the same ages as Baines is now - he was a 25-30m rated player. Baines shouldnt be valued less. Felli - offer less than we paid for after we spent years developing him to be one of the best CDMs around? Looking back 2-3 years at some of the other ludicrous deals done (mostly by Liverpool) - Downing, 20m. Henderson, 20m. Lescott, 23m. Torres, 50m. Ronaldo, 80m. Bale, supposed 100m?! The market is inflated, so match the going rates. the worst part of it is, Moyes must be having some say in this and that hurts. thats like taking the knife out of our back (which he put in when stalling on a new contract, to then leave us with no compensation) only to add barbs and lemon juice before ramming somewhere sensitive. I imagine we didnt report Utd, despite having a good case in my opinion, as a sign of respect and thanks to our ex-manager, because he deserves his chance at the big time. maybe someone should tell him he has money to spend at Utd and that publicly chasing players is disrespectful and shows a distinct lack of class. I dont remember ever being done at Everton, hell our transfer fees usually arent even disclosed most of the time! by the way, your initial comment was quite fair I thought...

id put that down to the international games during midweek, with Felli just finishing a course of antibiotics.

was sure there was, but not got time to trawl the OS archive...

Nothing on the OS, I imagine this is all bullshit.

Real 1-0 against Betis, goal coming after 2 minutes - quicker than the Barca 1st - but was clearly offside... edit : ignore that. it was disallowed...

Found a link... http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/23750101 Bloody nora!

it wasnt that they didnt try, they just dont have the talent in the squad

Barca are rubbish, not scored for 25 minutes now :shaking fist: Neymar and Iniesta on for Sanchez and Messi. Shame really, I wanted to see how Messi and Neymar would link up. edit: seconds later they score, thanks to a hilarious defensive cockup... 7-0 with 20m to play

i dont not envy the half time team talk for anyone associated with Levante.

make that 5, 42 mins gone Levante arent playing well. To be honest, theyre not able to play because Barca are closing everything down and absolutely dominating the game! its like an exhibition game edit: make that 6...

Barca 4-0 up after 25 mins edit: oh, and Neymar and Iniesta are on the bench!

keeper shouldve stopped it though...

such an anti-climax...

not sure how to caption that Still, thanks for bumping the thread, been a while
