AjcW Posted 3 September 2020 Share Posted 3 September 2020 (edited) 6 minutes ago, Stadt said: DCL got 13 goals in 30 starts last season, not amazing numbers but wouldn’t be surprised at all if he got 15-20 this season Yeah I don't think he's awful by any stretch. But it's the same situation we are in, over reliance on one person.... except ours is a golden boot winner. If they were a bit more sensible in their approach, they'd maybe have gone for one or the other with Allan and James.... and then splashed 40-50m on Ings. If they'd done that they could have had a front three of Richarlison, Ings and DCL.... Edited 3 September 2020 by AjcW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they'd done that they could have had a front three of Richarlison, Ings and DCL.... Southampton wouldn’t let Ings go for anything south of £70m imo. He’s their key player and they wouldn’t be a better side even with two £35m signings. It’d be a bit of a sideways move as well I agree though, Doucoure, Allan and Rodriguez is overkill Edited 3 September 2020 by Stadt 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Nacho Posted 3 September 2020 Share Posted 3 September 2020 Still find it beyond belief that Everton have spent £100m for Richarlison and Siggurdson. Wouldn’t pay half of that for both of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought Juve were mad to let him go but like Iheanacho with Man City it might take him a few years, if at all to produce the goods in an inferior team rather than have it served on a plate. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reason's given here - https://www.fourfourtwo.com/features/predicted-premier-league-table-2020-2021-liverpool-man-city-man-utd-chelsea-arsenal-spurs Not sure about Wolves, Man United and Arsenal being so high. Personally think that 1) Man City, 2) Liverpool, 3) Chelsea is just about nailed on. I then think it's probably going to be Man Utd in 4th with a free for all between 5th and 10th. No idea why they think Arsenal will improve that much. I think Everton are dark horses with their new midfield of Allan, Doucoure and James who I think will work well together. Stick my neck on the line and go with; 1) Man City 2) Liverpool 3) Chelsea 4) Man Utd 5) Spurs 6) Everton 7) Leicester 8) Arsenal 9) Wolves 10) Southampton 11) Leeds 12) Palace 13) West Ham 14) Newcastle 15) Brighton 16) Sheffield United 17) Villa 18) Burnley 19) West Brom 20) Fulham Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't remember him making much of a splash at Madrid. He was on loan at Bayern for a year or maybe even two. I watched a fair few games and there were glimpses of quality but overall, bit of a flop. Never really broke into the Starting XI. Similar story to Coutinho this year. Both players had an option to buy at the end of the loan, neither was activated. Appreciate Bayern, Real/Barca and Everton are different calibers but still. Can't see him pulling up any trees at Everton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leicester_Loyal Posted 3 September 2020 Share Posted 3 September 2020 Rather than signing 3 midfielders, Everton should have signed one or two, then spent the spare money on a striker or a goalkeeper (although they may be getting one). DCL will never be a top 6 striker, they need someone else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bit more complex than that - all to do with politics. Chinese broadcaster were refusing to pay. It's not dis-similar to the NBA situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koke Posted 3 September 2020 Share Posted 3 September 2020 Jim White is the most loathsome guy in football media. Even worse than Adrian Durham. I enjoy West Ham misery as much as anyone but they're well within their rights to moan about the ownership, the manager, style of play, poor recruitment etc. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another season like last year for richarlison and he'll be picked up by a big club...PSG perhaps Fortunately Everton will then revert to type and buy another Cenk Tosun and AN Other Arsenal reject to replace him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Left their famous home, stuck in a stadium in the middle of nowhere with no atmosphere and nothing around it, no wonder they're pissed. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
