I wouldn't be worried mate. If you lot get shit tons of money and replace him with Gilfi then I'd say that's great business. Quote

Cicero Posted May 4, 2017 Posted May 4, 2017 Don't think he ever will. Reckon the next Barca manager will be a stop gap until Xavi comes in. Quote

LFCMadLad Posted May 4, 2017 Posted May 4, 2017 For all we know Xavi could be the worst manager ever. Great players don't always make great coaches. Quote

True, but Barca are 3/3 in having managers being successful that have played for the club and understand 'the barca way'. Quote
Subscriber RandoEFC+ Posted May 5, 2017 Subscriber Posted May 5, 2017 Coleman has signed a 5 year contract today. I'm glad but it means he better fucking had come back strong from this injury! Quote

Even if they don't make the grade, a few "alright" performances here and there and you can probably shift the ones who aren't good enough to championship (or sometimes a shite prem side) and that's not necessarily a load of money but can be a nice healthy profit. You churn out enough "ok" youth players and your club start getting a little bit more self-sustaining even when they don't make the grade. Obviously you're going to want more players who are good enough to make the grade and become permanent fixtures in the side... everyone does. But the reality is Everton are looking to turn a corner, and it with how competitive the league is at the top, it will be hard for any young player to step through and make the grade at the level that the fans and manager will want to see from them to make the next step up. Obviously there's no guarantee not giving youth a chance will be any better, and there's that mantra that "if you're good enough, you're old enough." Regardless, having a promising group of kids is obviously only a good thing. Everton will most likely make some money flogging some off if they can get a few good first team performances out of them, and maybe a few squad players or better emerge out of the ones who take their chances.

HK85 Posted May 9, 2017 Posted May 9, 2017 (edited) Main awards: Player of the season: Lukaku Players player: Lukaku. Young player: Tom Davies Goal: Davies vs City Best performance: Davies vs City Can't complain at the top three. Would have Lukaku vs Bournemouth as performance of the year, scoring four. Can't remember any real outstanding goal we've scored this season. I like free flowing goals so probably would have had Mirallas' goal against West Brom or Lukaku's first against Bournemouth.

The Artful Dodger Posted May 9, 2017 Posted May 9, 2017 Sure I saw Tom Davies by the Metquarter yesterday. Quote
Subscriber RandoEFC+ Posted May 12, 2017 Subscriber Posted May 12, 2017 Mirallas has signed an extension keeping him around until 2020. Still too inconsistent to be a first choice for me but happy that he can stick around anyway. Slightly surprised by this though as I never got the impression Koeman was a big fan of his. Quote
HK85 Posted May 12, 2017 Posted May 12, 2017 Saves us going out and spending upwards of £10 million on a replacement. He's decent enough as a squad player and done well in Europe last time we were there. Quote
HK85 Posted May 14, 2017 Posted May 14, 2017 Don't watch any of Malaga so can't comment but at £5 million can't grumble. Quote

Hopefully this means that he's staying... Everton have placed a £50 million price tag on Ross Barkley as they continue to wait on the midfielder’s future. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2017/05/16/everton-place-50m-price-tag-ross-barkley/amp/ Quote
Subscriber RandoEFC+ Posted May 16, 2017 Subscriber Posted May 16, 2017 As usual, unsure on the new kit but always takes some getting used to and I'm sure I'll get to like it. Quote
