Just go away. Should make his final task to take down the Sports Direct crap from SJP.

Genuinely linked to rather than clickbait. I hope that club will learn from the Emery fiasco and keep mum about who they are trying to sign. I suppose cultivating an army of ITKs was decent when you were trying to buy the club and fan enthusiasm was so low. Now it's time to keep quite until they have a signature.

Palace?

1) Pepe 2) Klopp 3)Tuchel 4) Conte 5) Rafa 6) Bielsa 7) Rodgers 8) Moyes 9) Howe 10) Vieira 11) Ranieri 12) Lage 13) Potter 14) Arteta 15) Hassenhuttl 16) Dyche 17) Frank 18) Solskjaer

At least 7 from Chelsea, and Palace and Brighton away? Palace just beat Man City and Brighton drew with Liverpool.

Ranieri = opinions differ.

What level of "higher level" is possible? Are you thinking Raheem Sterling-level? Or something much more modest? It sounded like Lingard was ready to go to West Ham, but they weren't willing to oay the fee.

Bottom half of the top ten?

What's the largest turnover ever made by a club in a transfer window? Or a January window? Read several pundits state that you cannot replace more than 3-4 players at a time. But given the complete lack of cohension under Bruce, I'm not sure that really applies in our case. I'd expect Howe to change that, but still... I've also been thinking about that insane summer Chelsea had in 2003 when they brought in Crespo, Makelele, Duff, Veron, Cole, Mutu (remember that f*cker), some others. Can't remember how many of those went straight into their starting 11. And they were already top four.

Especially Everton forums.

Is there an up-to-date points per expenditure analysis out there? Saw one a few seasons back that made a strong argument for Klopp and Pochettino, I think. Got to think that OGS is going to come out bottom or near bottom of any list based on those numbers.

Indeed, I'd like to hear that one.

I'm not

No Fat Sam, Warnock, or Bruce in sight. Is our children learning?

I agree with the list generally --- identifying problem areas. Jan ---- 3-4 starters in the midfield and back line. Meaning that Clark, Krafte, Ritchie, and Shelvey won't be starting. Summer ------- Chelsea (2003-4)-style transfer window. Replace everything except ASM and Dubravka. I'd keep Wilson, Longstaff, and few others that prove useful. At first blush, I think the players you've kept are right. I love Wilson, but given his injury history, we shouldn't be relying on him next year.

Vieira is higher than 17th.

Layng our problems at the feet of Almirón FFS. So many more pressing issues.

Harsh.

Howe has a reputation for improving players . Let's see what happens. I am certainly more confident about coming good than most of the rest the squad.

We'll be OK. I wasn't at all impressed with either Brighton or Palace. Any team worth their salt should us the shreads in our current state. A lot of pundits are prattling on about how Howe's sides haven't been great defensively. We'll be OK if Howe can the team to actually threaten the opponents goal. Sitting back and inviting pressure for 90 minutes has got to stop.

Chelsea are pretty good </understatement>

Smoldering? It's burning red hot.

Howe diddles and Everton get hammered tomorrow. It's fate. All is fate.

Froggy, sometimes you make me think that I really don't hate Man United that much ( But I immediately snap out of it}
