then that is an explanation of the behaviour, but it is not a removal of accountability. I know we are talking about a child here, but that language simply cannot be tolerated anywhere and that is the bottom line for me
think our priority this summer has to be 'another lallana'. obviously easier said than done, but if you look at all our performances where we've been crap of just frustrating, you'll often see that it's when he's injured. unless one of the u23s can step in, but I think half the benefit of...
well at least a line has been drawn somewhere
and for those who will inevitably ask about Brooks, he is 20 years Mason's junior and far too early in his career for that. or at least that's the reasoning, I suppose
yes it will be interesting to see how far we go with that this summer. caicedo is definitely gone, can see Mac going too, but in terms of proper first teamers being sold, that's where it has to stop for me, this summer. I will be especially gutted and probably very annoyed if we sell mitoma
yep, if he's in the next squad I'm happy to sit back and say that Mr waistcoat is less stubborn than I thought. He won't be though, and it is absolutely because of who he plays for. There is no other conceivable reason.
must definitely be a clear consensus then. I'm happy for him to go. well not, happy, but he's behaved impeccably so far, and I want us to show players that if they behave properly and keep the toys firmly in the pram then they'll get their move
plus I'm pretty sure it was reported that potter had turned down spurs at one point or another. I think RDZ would leave for a top, top job at a club that has a realistic chance of competing on all fronts for all trophies. that is not spurs, as you say.
I still have hope for him. when given the space he gets in the championship, he oozez creativity, especially if he feels important to the team.
all about how they manage him. maybe as his pace goes he could move deeper, like pablo hernandez did?
to be honest I kinda expected it. when he was at his worst for us, it was when he was leading the line on his own and we were struggling creatively. he's a hard worker, who's role should be to harras defenders and look for little half-yards of space. Everton needed a clinical, proper no.9, which...
well exactly that, it's not a binary "they're great, let's keep them" or "they're shit, let's get rid".
even if he had started scoring goals for Everton, there's no guarantee that would've happened here. take Gyokeres for example. who's to say that he wouldn't have failed here? maybe the...
generally no, it's not. he's been at a great level for a couple of seasons now.
but in terms of his end product there has been an unbelievable turnaround, that is undeniable
