I reckon they'll go down, probably 20th. I reckon they just played a poor Everton side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spacemunky Posted 24 August 2019 Share Posted 24 August 2019 I have Villa staying up. I think they'll improve as they go and there's enough sh*t teams for them to finish ahead of. 15th is my bet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan LCFC Posted 24 August 2019 Share Posted 24 August 2019 Everton must have probably the poorest value per money paid side in the league behind Manchester United. So many average nothingy players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan LCFC Posted 24 August 2019 Share Posted 24 August 2019 Had an argument with a mate the other day, think before the Norwich v Newcastle game on who'd get more goals this season, Pukki or Kean, I went with Pukki, 4-0 so far Pukki I think will get 15+. Norwich will score a lot but concede loads as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aus Fox Posted 24 August 2019 Author Share Posted 24 August 2019 Villa are a class above the other teams who will struggle this year. I have them to finish about 15th. Silva on the other hand has to be favourite to be sacked first (Ashley is to tight and stubborn to sack Bruce). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would be surprised if he got 9 this season - Pukki could easily get 15. If he stays fit his goals will keep Norwich up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nicolo Barella Posted 24 August 2019 Share Posted 24 August 2019 12 hours ago, Finnegan said: What strikes me about Everton is that they always sign players on their way down. It's always everyone's cast offs. Iwobi, Kean, Gomes, Walcott, Mina, Digne, Delph, they're always signing downwards. Meanwhile we're nearly always signing upwards, picking up upwardly mobile players whose stock will rise here. I get signing a few experienced pros from big clubs on their way down but as a whole transfer policy just getting everyone else's cast offs, it's never, ever going to produce success. In fairness Gomes is hardly a failed signing, he's a good option to have in the squad especially for only 20 million pounds. Iwobi and Kean look decent so far, and Mina and Digne were good signings too. The only real shitters there are Walcott and Delph imo, and Walcott was signed by Fat Sam in fairness to them. I don't think they're nearly as bad as you make them out to be under their new management. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Top 6 teams don't need to spend as much to keep their status as we would to obtain theirs, because they already had a lot of Top quality players.

This is true and makes it all the more damning that Everton have spent so much money and barely seem to have improved their side at all. Martinez had lost the plot by the time he left but that side still had Lukaku, Barkley, Stones and a still relatively young Baines and Coleman.

They've had much more bang for their buck ever since they appointed Brands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
