Yet in real terms we ended up paying more, and getting less. The data worshippers continually harp on about the likes of Amdouni but seem incapable of processing the evidence from their own eyes. Any club can get a bid accepted if you offer enough but actually getting the player to accept personal ...

And if we matched the inflated fee, Leverkusen would’ve pushed the go button and also matched it. The deal would have already been wrapped up well before leverkusen becoming aware of his availability. For a club that supposedly got the money & intent to sign these players I'm also including maatsen...

We don't know for sure but there was one occasion where he was given one of the biggest budgets in the division when we were relegated. He used it to spend Lowton, Joey Barton and Andre Gray along with having Boyd and Arfield as the widemen. He could have changed the style then if he'd wanted to wh...

Yep it's his own ego holding him back though. He doesn't accept that his limitations are actually limitations. It's all a media created narrative to him. He could have been brilliant if he'd develop his style of play slightly He's never really had his hands on a big treasure chest so perhaps his li...

I agree he just doesn't help himself.

He's history now, he's not done to bad for himself with his limitations he's pragmatic enough to always be in job contention for clubs flirting with relegation. He'll never get a job at a bigger club than Everton I don't think.

If the players didn't like it it will. If he doesn't get some results quickly he could be in big trouble.

Nobody better than SD they could attract not in light of their troubles & current position they need to be grateful they've got him could do hell of a lot worse.

I certainly don't see last season as pointless. If you do, fine.

I'm happy to agree to disagree. I did say sullied that's not to say I didn't enjoy last season I just think it's a shame.

Jakubclaret

Not for me - I'm able to detach and still ackowledge that brilliant season and huge achievement from this season's performance or lack of on several levels. We weren't discussing this season or the premier league. For me it renders something pointless if you don't make it advantageous in the long r...

We were top I think after less than a third of the season. Excellent performance after the degree of change. Many people were saying at the time if we could be top 10 by Christmas and then push on to top 6 or beyond that would be an achievement. That tickets been well & truly sullied we haven't bui...

Maybe it wasn’t SD but his assistant and other coach who was suspended for bullying an u21 player?

Heard numerous tales

I'm not sure it's the first I've heard of it but I don't dispute there could be some truth in it. It wouldn't be the first example of people abusing their positions of power.

1. It gets used to loud noises before it's old enough to object. (Obviously if it cries like a baby it will be removed.) 2.

Yes, it’s a hard call, which must explain why it only maybe might be worse to leave a baby with a known paedophile than take them to a football match Well offer your opinion then.

Just be happy for him mate. And us.

It basically underlines what a top prospect we have on our hands regardless of how this season has panned out and, if nothing else, helps add value to an important asset.

Or the flip side it demonstrates just how short England are in the goalkeeping department.

Yes, I've repeatedly acknowledged that. My key point is it doesn't mean the club could have known.

It may well have occurred prior to Jan-23. The point, again, is that given the nature of mental illness it should be entirely reasonable to understand why it might not picked up through a rigorous medical.

Wiki somehow managed to know.
