Am I? You sure? Take the bold bit for example. So you'd find it less frustrating just about avoiding relegation every year?! Like we did all through the 90's. I Find that a bit strange.

Fair play...although...results, personal bests...same thing? Or, at least, you can't have one without the other? I get where your coming from though, for sure. Overzealous is a great way to put it. Nice one. Any new transfer news today? Where's Dunc and his links? (Brill work with them links btw Dunc...saves me a lot of time on Google searches!)

Moan about what though? What we moaning about? Being a top 7 club? Fuck me, life's so hard! I love where we are. Why? Because all through school we fought relegation year after year after yeah (Except 95 when we won the FA cup and finished 6th).I think I was 13 then...my only time to boast!!! If it's finances...well, that's another subject. A lot of clubs are in a far worse state than we are. And we've all had this one over and over on this forum. Anyway, don't want to go to sideways in this topic as it is for transfer talk.

You'll always get this though. Nature of us know it all blokes following a footy club. Just stick in the positive club. It's a better place.

Correct (have you banged your head recently? You've been talking sense for a couple of weeks now? Well, apart from that bit of blubbering before about car, success or whatever!!!) Opinions are opinions. Be a boring life without them. Everyone has a right to have one. And everyone has a right to disagree with one.

Oh god. I see the humour has died again. Must be the transfer nerves taking effect. Trust me, I ain't reeling anyone in. It's all good, light hearted fun. Paddock...just to clear it up before it goes into overdrive - the bit I took exception to is all this 'shitty records, mean fuck all, I want more...' stuff. Trust me, everybody on this forum, every evertonian...in fact, every fan of any club 'wants more'. But it's easier to support Everton if you accept the reality. Bit of dejavu going on here.

Don't do it Newty...don't do it... Resist. Resist. Resist. Resiiiiiiìiiist.

The logical one speaks again!

Oh no! It's happening all over again! Oh my god! Your posts are exactly of the same nature as when a certain MiguelCotto first joined the forum. I thought it earlier today when reading some of your others. This one has nailed it. I'm not joining in this time. I've learnt to relax! Ha. Over to you Cotto...sort him out!!!

Hurling? What, people just being sick? You sure it wasn't magaluf uncovered or brits abroad you were watching?!

Haha. I was thinking the same. I think it would be right to 'suspend' this one as Lukaku is not our player and is only transfer speculation at the moment. I've thought that for a while but now that there is a Lukaku thread in the rumours section too...Bit confusing and repetitive?

Im pretty sure a number of his early and later interviews mention youth development?

I think we are linked with plenty...just check out the 'rumours with a link' section. I looked last night, the list of names is daft. Slowly, one by one, the best picks are being locked. I'm still calm, but feeling more curious. The only thing I want us to avoid is paying too much for someone. As for the youth, this should be no surprise to any of us. He spoke about the importance of youth development from day one. It seems to be one of his priorities. And why not, it's important when your a bit skint!!

Yep, it's certainly a bit frustrating. So many different noises coming from Chelsea...actual noises, not just media make ups or I've been told by a mates mate. Who really knows? I just hope Roberto knows what cards he is playing. Fair few different outcomes could come from this, good and not so good. Oh, and the only surprising thing from the latest echo link is that it was 6 years ago we paid 15 mill for Fellaini. 6 years ago!!! Blimey.

Chelsea assistant coach Steve Holland has now said no decision will be made on Lukaku within the next 2 weeks. I think they'll give him a chance to prove himself a bit in and around the Chelsea team. Which from Chelsea and Lukaku point of view, is fair enough. Up to Roberto what he wants to do now.

Or...."100% nailed on, seen a picture of the bloke signing, confirmed transfers" Should clear up any grey areas.

...The thread is for done deals, is it not? Think that is what Mike was ever so politely hinting at.

SSN now running with him returning to Chelsea to fight for his place. Once he returns from his holiday, of course. Make of it what you will, it just carries on!

We were. He turned us down. He said.

Playing off Joe Royle?!

It's floating around this morning that Ba has said himself that he turned down a move to us. Makes me wonder now...are we after Lukaku? If we are, does going after Ba as well hint at the size of our kitty? Hmmmmmm.

Some good players moving around. And to some surprise teams. It's just warming up!!! Anybody want to help Blackpool out?!

Didn't think he was so bad. Anyway...go down the list of players in this thread, all with 'links'...says it all.

Ha. It's all a bit daft. It is embarrassing for the club. But I think our ceo is getting it as it's a build up of events. Something has gone wrong. Someone will be looking into what went wrong. But should someone be sacked? Not a chance, ha! Do you guys never do anything wrong at work? The CEO doesn't get sacked every time you make a mistake. Imagine that kind of world?! Phwoar!

I'm with Cornish Steve here. Everton have a habit of going about things nice and quiet. Publicly stating your targets is both disrespectful to the owning club and can inflate the price. It's frustrating only because we get excited by new signings like kids at Christmas. But I like the way we do things. Really looking forward to the 'surprises'.
