All about opinions but I don't think either are better Townsend. And Townsend is a consistant performer? Never. Only seen him have a couple of good games for England that's it. Plus he has a gambling problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brookfox Posted 15 August 2017 Share Posted 15 August 2017 Bloody hell he's only just turned 26! Thought he was nearer 30, seems to have been around for ages. That alone has convinced me he'd be a great signing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This time last year we could have attracted the likes of Sigurdsson with Champions league football... We're a different kettle of fish now! Sure he sees Everton as a club with bigger prospects and guaranteed European football. Our window of opportunity to sign players like him and Silva has been and gone! We couldn't attract Deeney and Keane, not sure why people are so sure we could have attracted him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DatfoxesKid23 Posted 16 August 2017 Share Posted 16 August 2017 we are aiming for Europa league so andros townsend is not good enough for leicester with 3 goals and 7 assists he seems above average just. Are these the sort of singings we should be making ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chilwell got the ball several times in their half when there wasn't a red and white shirt within 15m of him so he was always going to look good to some extent as he bombed into the space.

Other than that he looks great which is bizarre for a player deemed to have a great future at the highest level. Lolz. X Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotch Posted 16 August 2017 Share Posted 16 August 2017 It really is hilarious to read through these comments. So far, the reasons I've saw for not signing Andros are, he isn't good enough, he has played for too many clubs, he is inconsistent and he has a gambling problem. It seems that all we have to do is find a player who is better than an England international, has only played for a club or two, plays well every game and has absolutely no vices and that both wants to come here and we can afford..... Easy! Beggars beliefs that our scouting team haven't already!!! Seriously guys!! We are not a big club! We had one great season and we got that season by putting some average players in positions that played to their strength! We can't realistically expect to go out and sign perfect players! We have to sign players who's strengths suit ours! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which makes you wonder if we were actually actively pursuing these players and selling a positive picture to them. My thoughts are we did not, everybody at the club took their foot off the pedal and spent 3 or 4 months back patting. Before they had realised it, we'd wasted our best position in living memory (well mine anyway ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rigga Posted 16 August 2017 Share Posted 16 August 2017 £25m we could have got Sigurdsson for after our PL winning season but we pissed about over a million or two... The same with Keane. Totally missed the boat with those two players and with them, I think we would have pushed Everton for 7th last season. We move on and hopefully we learn from our mistakes (although a year later I'm not sure we have) Our lack of quality trough the middle of the park sticks out like a sore thumb and this is why we will always be chasing the ball for 90 minutes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
