The huge unknown in all this is Evan - if he can get back to even 95% of where he was pre-injury/illness then with no Europe we don't need too much more than him and Welbeck.
I'm convinced Undav will leave, but on the club's terms. My 'hunch' is £25m in a payment schedule that we want. Let's...
If I remember it is going to have 2 floors?
The main structure is likely being made off site so I'd expect it to be constructed very quickly once the site is ready for it, obviously it then needs to be fitted out which will take some time. I think the club said it should be ready Oct/Nov which...
The EPL is getting faster and stronger year on year. IMO Facu hasn't got the physical attributes to be a success in the EPL....YET. He won't build those attributes sitting on the bench here. I'd loan him this season because IMO he won't play enough otherwise.
FWIW I'm not sure that the EPL is...
I don't know what the average wage is at Everton but this would lead to a queue of other players wanting parity. As I said last season was his breakthrough season, madness that he now wants a x400% pay rise.
This is why BHA on the whole control salary caps so tightly, as unless you're an oil...
He's not turning it down though is he. He's under contract and the buying club haven't met the required buy out so he's going nowhere. So the third party contract offer is actually irrelevent as he can't accept it.
I'm under contract too, most people are, the difference is that most people are...
The welfare state has been both a blessing and a problem for the last 80 years.
It's a blessing as it has been at the heart of living standards literally coming out of the gutter for a lot of people, and something I'm 'happy' to pay tax on.
It is a problem because some people abuse it, always...
I know it's only on BBC Gossip but Everton are appartently being told Braithwaite would stay but wants them to match the £160k a week that Utd were supposedly offering him, which would be quadrupliing his wages.
Surely after the financial mismangement of the last few years that club won't...
I'm going 7-10th but it's a big ask. Our newbies (inc the manager) need to fit in straight away.
If you offered me 10th now, finishing above 'them' and going deep in a cup I'd take it.
The guy is rightly a club legend. However at 33 and with only 1 year left on his contract then I feel that £10m is great business for us. He was far from 'shit' at the end of last season but he can't play in a 2 man CM in the EPL, he hasn't got the legs, this is amplified if his partner is...
We NEED to be tactically flexible. Otherwise you will be found out, as I felt we were under RDZ eventually as no matter who was'nt available he stayed with plan A.
The teams that can play one way and not care are the likes of Man City because they have overall better players, and match...
This was always 'when' not 'if'.
Most servers these days are VM images so scaremongering that 10,000s of servers need a keyboard plugged in is typical media hyperbole, the VM hosts maybe. What will be taking the time is getting root access where required and testing roll back. Lots of big...
No they haven’t, just look at United and Greenwood, he should have been sacked, wasn’t because that would have meant losing £m on an ‘asset’, had that been back room staff it would have been P45 time. As someone posted earlier, top level football clubs and morals split up ages ago.
Oh FFS. I suppose if he's now fully recovered then it's not that much different to a pre-season. At least it's in virtually the same time zone. Paris is nearer to Brighton than it is to Manchester!!
It almost certainly rules him out of Everton though, he needs to get to know the new...
Time is up for the following IMO (or bloody well should be!!)
Kane
Walker
Trippier
MaGuire
Pickford (maybe)
Dunk (probably)
Lots of opportunity for a new guard
Our Jack H has the potential IMO, big next couple of seasons for the lad.
As much as I agree that Kane has been awful in this tournament and sadly saved the worst for last, let's not allow that to deflect away from Gareth Southgate. If Southgate stays with his 'brand' of football then Kane is finished for England, if he goes then maybe a better manager might play to...
