Disgraceful article. I know the Mirror is a shitrag, written and printed by retards for retards but there is just not a shred of truth in any of it and a comparision between a legitimate protest and some no mark racist is just beyond the realms of sanity

Its in the Mirror and the Mail today. Mirror go £2.5million and the Mail go £1million. Not even worth the Mails valuation

Due Diligence would only occur in a friendly takeover not a hostile one. Of course Everton appear to be seeking a friendly one.

 

But even so, one does not air their dirty laundry PRIOR to a sale. They attract suitors first, then negotiate.

It's far better to know who is 'remotely' interested then focus efforts on selling yourself to them than to reveal all your problems upfront and attract nobody at all.

Due dilligence is a part of any business purchase however it is acquired.

Given we are not registered on the LSE we couldnt be subject of a hostile takeover

As long as he doesn't kostas much I'd be okay with this.

%$^& me thats poor

But it raised a smile

Did anyone really expect the Arteta money to not go to the bank?

Our finances are a shambles and Bill has to carry the can for that

I am not saying he should avoid twitter because he is black. I am saying as a footballer/ celeb by going on twitter and giving ppl direct access to him he is opening himself up to abuse NOT specifically racist abuse but abuse. Thanks for the condescending lesson on racism but you completely missed the point.

 

Racism is obviously a very delicate subject but where does the whole line between what is oppression of minorities stop and freedom of speech begin. For example if you abuse someone for having ginger hair it is not seen as abuse but the colour is their skin is. You can banter someone for being fat or having bad personal hygiene but not for being gay. Being racist or homophobic is an opinion (not a nice one but an opinion) therefore trying to legislate peoples opinions is very difficult and I am not sure where it ends.

My comment was in no way directed at you and I was not trying to give a lesson of any sort.

It is just beyond ridiculous to have an irrational fear of someone with different skin pigmentation to you.

Is it me or has racism become a bigger issue recently? If you look at the rise of the far right throughout history it generally coincides with times of great social strife and upheaval where a scapegoat must be found

If they reckon he is better than Zaki then I might be interested. I dont know anything about him but Zaki made a fair impact at Wigan before leaving under a cloud

Apparently he is going to reject us and opt for a bosman in the summer.

Cant say Im disappointed

Racism isn't a two way street, it just doesn't work like that.

Abbott seems to believe that because many years ago Great Britain conquered the world and arrived on foreign shores where black men sold other black men to us as slaves we must be constantly flogged for the rest of time. I havent got a slave, my parents didnt and neither did theirs ad infinitum so why is it my fucking fault? Does a slave rest easier in their shallow grave because an underqualified black woman can get a job as a professional gobshyte because she is an underqualified black woman?

Breathe, rant over

me? winding people up? i'd never do anything like that!

 

 

Please accept my sincerest apologies

Sadly I doubt they will be the last. Those in the lower leagues face a constant battle to balance books and receive little help from the FA and the Premier League.

Grass roots football is where it all begins and the wealth of the Premier league needs to trickle down a little bit more or football will surely cut its own throat

Bored? Thats why you are on Twitter winding up the Peoples Group

Know nothing about the lad but an international at 22. Felli should be able to tell Moyes if he is any good and maybe help bring him here

Interesting article but it says its source is the Daily Mail and we are interested in both players for a loan agreement.

PSG may be more agreeable to a loan given their new found wealth and wont strictly require the money to fund investment.

I would be happy with both

Yes he is

 

League One players are getting touted around for that price these days and he is a proven quality player

He left us for 3 million and has done nothing to enhance his reputation at Spurs. Ok his contract was running down with us which affected the price we got for him but a player with injury problems over the last 12 months and approaching 30 is not worth 5 million in my opinion.

certainly dont want fulhams cast offs.

Nor me but I assume he is the likely replacement for Zamora although there is plenty of talk of Andy Johnson moving away from Fulham

Fulham have placed a bid for him according to swedish newspapers

£10million according to the Daily Mirror.

Bobby Zamora leaving Fulham?

Is he worth £5million though? He has barely played since joining Spurs and we (or any other club for that matter) dont know whether he can attain the heights that sparked all the interest in the first place.

I appreciate his contract was ticking down and we cashed in but since leaving what has he done to justify a £5million price tag? He doesnt even make the bench for Spurs

He's struggled at spurs because he has had injuries, and he is also fighting Gareth Bale and Nico Krankjar for a place in the team, not much chance there, but he would walk into our team without a fight.

I'd have him for the £3m that they paid for him.

Dont disagree, injuries and competition have played their part but to fork out £2million to service Pienaars failed dream is a bit strong for me

He's 19 mate and just signed for Sampdoria. He has 20 years ahead of him. Let's see if he can do well at Sampdoria, and good luck to him. Not sure what the issue is to be honest.

There isnt an issue its a discussion. Its only an issue when someone asks, "whats the issue" during a discussion

If you are desperate to find the issue then perhaps its yours and my differing opinion.

It's a logical conclusion that he didn't play because he wasn't deemed good enough by Moyes.

 

He was given a 'chance' when he was signed. He had the 'chance' to prove himself and climb the ranks. If he fails to impress, is that 'his' fault, or Evertons? Everton signed him 'free' so we've not exactly lost out. The guy has had 2 1/2 years training with a top English club, so has benefited greatly. He is still only 19 after all, so has a big career ahead of him.

Failed to impress but has a big career ahead of him?

Madness if we pay more than we got to bring him back. I did like him but thought Baines made him look better than he was - hence why he has struggled at Spurs.

Not for me at £5mill but would be happy with a loan or sign him for what we got for him

I would be torn over this. He has been a fantastic servant to the club and his commitment isnt in question, however his ability now is. He looks a shadow of himself and Im not sure its just a lack of form more terminal decline.

He hasnt had a rest in years and travelling half the world to represent your country will catch up eventually

Nope. Think I noticed it perfectly. That's the whole point. The lad isn't good enough, but was given the opportunity to develop in our camp

How do you know that, he never had a chance?

There is no point buying young players and getting our fingers burnt time and again and no point letting him go without giving him a crack

Perhaps you missed the sarcasm
