That's where Shelvey just went isn't it ?

Do Everton have form for letting 2 goal leads go in injury time ?

Arteta knew before the card came out, you see him turn away and put his hands to his face. He'll still whinge about it though.

His mam described him as "a snidey little twat".

What communication do you envisage? One where they tell you exactly what happened and why ? It may be as basic as they thought they had a deal until Riad got injured.

Everyone ?

Where is the delusion ?

Pleased I'm working tomorrow night.

If they could we maybe wouldn't want to shift them so much ?

Did anyone think that ?

Says who ?

He would. We haven't met what he wants though. Same as every transfer.

I see a pattern. They all end in fc.

That's a big if. The usual spouting heads have had that many figures and stories with absolutely nothing confirmed. How much did they want ? Have they changed their terms? Etc. Do you trust Hope, Edwards etc to actually know ?

Nope, not just you.

Also his targets may not be value when we come calling

You can only look back and wonder. Would you rather we hadn't got Botman and we'd went for Badiashile because that January because Lille wouldn't accept our offer? It's a long game and I'm prepared to see how it plays out. Has their other CHs injury killed it ? Who knows ? We've kept our purples, we know we ha e money there to improve and I'd rather get the right one later than a make weight now.

If we obviously rate him at that price we'd have bid that price before now, doesn't seem like we have.

Well they aren't leaving this windows there are still at least a window and a bit to show them we aren't stagnating

We couldn't if it's on the back of their other CHs injury.

If we don't think he's worth that I'd rather bin it off and go without until another window.

As so eone said earlier, Botman it. Go higher on a RW even though it's late.

But not for this player. We've hit his ceiling so bringing an extra 20mill in isn't going to get him as we would t pay it. It probably is stopping us with the RW though that we should now be going for.

I don't. Do you think had Almiron gone for 20mill we'd have gone 80mill for Guehi ? 2nd paragraph is spot on though.

True but I think he is one of the reasons we look disjointed right now. He's a great edge of the box defender but not so great pushing up, made worse by both current CH's being like that meaning we can't press as we'd like as there's a huge gap between midfield and back line that is being exploited.
