He is a young Vardy. The next big thing in England. If they couldn't get Rashford they should've gone for Martial as well, I think he'd be brilliant as a main striker. Everton really should've thought that transfer through Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beating us, Everton, Swansea and West Ham drawing away at Stoke is not a true indication of how good they are. Will wait to they have played Man City, Liverpool, Arsenal and Spurs. The only thing about this is that with the games that they have they are building confidence and momentum. With that beating up team after team and constantly getting results will help their confidence in beating those bigger teams. Also Mourinho will set his team up to beat or get results against them. The team I am less convinced in is City. They look nice but I think that against an organized, physical defense that doesn't give them any space they will suffer.

Lovejoy Posted 18 September 2017 Share Posted 18 September 2017 Koeman is a clown for a number of reasons. Sell a £75m striker who scored a huge % of your goals and not feel the need to directly replace him. Take all pace/trickery out of the side so the team is full of passers. Great for a possession stat but they have only scored two league goals in five games. Playing five defenders means the team is naturally on the back foot. Cuco Martina is a poor excuse for a wing back. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Col city fan Posted 18 September 2017 Share Posted 18 September 2017 Can't believe Everton.. Are they mad? They invest many millions on some really good players, then stick Big Wayne up front and expect to score lotsa goals. Rooney is a spent force at this level and has been for at least two years. God knows why they didn't get a proper striker. Bottom three at present aren't they...? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stadt Posted 18 September 2017 Share Posted 18 September 2017 Everton's spending hasn't been the best but they've played United, City and Chelsea all away from home. Even worse fixtures than ours. There's obviously problems with their side but it's harsh to judge them this early 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So much for some people wanting him here, at any cost, although he never EVER wanted to come here. LOL, how does it feel? Genuine qustion. Based on ability and player type, I think he would've fit perfectly in our side. Whether he wanted to come here or not and at that price is irrelevant. He's of a calibre that we can realistically, if unlikely, attract. Obviously with the whole Silva/Drinky situation and our own poor-ish start, someone of his kind would've been welcome in our midfield right now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was +100 pages thread about a guy whom we were as likely to sign as Neymar and who went on strike to force his move to Everton. Hence my comment. Regardless of his abilities, I wouldn't want this kind of player here and even less pay the ridiculous 50M to get him. From what I saw, Adrien Silva has the qualities to fit our side as well and is a steal when we consider that we got him for almost the half of Swansea diva's price. Time will tell. We've come to a point where any midfielder able to keep the ball more than one second and passing it forward would do the trick. It was already a weakness last season, let alone this one. Hopefully the Silva saga will come to an end this week and with Iborra fit, we'll start to play football.

Essentially the same thing happened with Drinkwater. It served all parties best. And be fair, obviously Sigurdsson being interested is infinitely more likely than Neymar. After all, Sigurdsson went from Spurs to Swansea. I hope you're right regarding Silva. I've not seen enough of him to judge him. Sigurdsson is proven over several seasons now, so the comparison doesn't make much sense yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sigurdsson is proven over several seasons now, so the comparison doesn't make much sense yet. The Neymar comparison is naturally exaggerated but it was clear that we stood no chance against Everton Sigurdsson outright refused to go on the US Tour with Swansea and whilst still training with the team, didn't play again for them. Drinkwater never made it public until he handed his transfer request 24 hours before the end of the dead line. You could say his thigh injury came quite conveniently but we will probably never know what exactly happened. I didn't compare him directly to Siggurdsson, just said that he could fit our tream. I'm waiting for him like the second coming. Should he fail to live up to the hype, I think we could be in serious trouble.

Fox92 Posted 18 September 2017 Share Posted 18 September 2017 I like Everton and believe they'll turn it around. Koeman is a decent manager. What they've done is basically try and buy a new team which doesn't work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan LCFC Posted 19 September 2017 Share Posted 19 September 2017 Everton will get better but their summer business was massively over-rated. Lots of players in the same position and pinning their goalscoring hopes on a past-it Rooney who I'm not convinced will even get double figures. Saying that their fixture list has been even harsher than ours so it'll be fairer to judge them in 5 games, although to thumped four times in a row is embarrassing in any circumstance.

RumbleFox Posted 19 September 2017 Share Posted 19 September 2017 Part of me hopes Everton do badly so that Koeman and Walsh get the sack and Walshie can come home.
