Popular Post Shukes Posted June 1, 2018 Popular Post Report Share Posted June 1, 2018 If someone did attack his father, then I’m sorry but he is excused! Football is a sport and cones secondary to looking after your family. Shows he is a human being and not just a cot in a machine. Much respect to him if that is the case.

Sir McGiven Posted June 2, 2018 Report Share Posted June 2, 2018 Well, I do agree with most of you. At first, I was a little bit pissed but he is right about his family. I do think there are other possible ways to handle this but you know, it is family and you can not control yourself. He'll be banned 1 or 2 games from international football after yesterday but I hope FIFA will not give damn about this "cut throat" gesture. As it is considered a major life-threatening gesture, it may extend his ban. He sincerely apologized though. Turkish football has had troubled footballers for many years such as Emre Belozoglu (beaten a journalist, gestures and swearing against Turkish FA authorities during the match, accused of being racist both in the UK and Turkey etc...) and Arda Turan (Threw his shoes to the referee, attacked a referee recently an faced 16 match ban, beaten a journalist etc.). I think we were all afraid he is going to become one of them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I prefer our guys to keep a calm head, I can hardly blame him. The real question is why some fans feel the need to fight, throw flares at others, and behave in a manner dangerous to other fans. Seriously, we all are passionate about our football and want to get behind our team, but its a game that doesn't matter anywhere near enough to justify injuring others over.

About Domagoj Vida: If Everton was interested, I think they would have asked me for my opinions at least. (as an old teammate or for some insider comments from the club) About Klaassen to Besiktas: They asked me if he is interested in a possible transfer move to Besiktas. I asked him and he said, "I am not interested in moving to Turkey". End of story. About his move back to Besiktas: I am still a new signing for Everton. It's way too early to talk about that. These are the parts of the interview which related to Everton. markjazzbassist, MikeO, pete0 and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both athletic at this age however still polar opposite of each other. Lukaku still doesn’t do either of those things better than average though. He has always been able to find the net, however, which is what’s most important for a striker. DCL is neither a Giroud-style physical presence who play can build around nor a Lukaku style clinical finisher; he’s an ok footballer who doesn’t excel at anything. After a couple years at this level, he needs a loan where he can be the focal point of an attack in order to develop some prominent skill or he’ll never be good enough.

Matt Posted July 27, 2018 Report Share Posted July 27, 2018 DCL is not a striker, but he will be a very good support player. We need that kind of foil in the team Shukes 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
