Colos Short and Curlies

Spurs-Chelsea-River Plate-LA Galaxy

Could Elliott look any creepier?

He sounds like an ISS/early Pro Evo Spanish striker and for that reason I'm in

Season done

This generations Rob Lee

Courtois penalty taking needs a bit of practice.

It's like 1996 and Ben Arfa had a baby Hatem skills with Barton hair

Stronger bench than first 11. Gotta love pre season

Did their careers end with the stat that Scholes scored more goals at SJP as Dyer? It was definitely the case at the end of Bobby's reign

I reckon we'd be having the same discussions over Ginola and Robert if they had come along now rather than when football had time for the flawed genius. 15 years ago Ben Arfa would have been an absolute club legend not a divisive figure

He's a right back isn't he? So Anita's replacement rather than PDs

Didn't see the game but heard he did well - Mr Ryder gave him 5 though - was he even there lol ? With an almost copy and paste of Gautiers words. Basically written every weeks rating for the lad already regardless on how he plays

Rafa playing chicken with death here

I'd put a cut off of minutes per season that a player (over 21) has to play in or they become available for 1 years worth of wages, or even a free. 2 seasons on loan in a row - free

Lovely journey over the Pennines from manchester

If we are looking for numbers on a restricted budget it would be great if there was a talented winger/number 10 available on a free from PSG we could look at.

Keeper, 8 solid system players behind, one maverick in the hole and a mobile striker. Perfect

It feels like Everton have made some good signings and doing the right thing by buying before selling.... but have they replaced Lukakus goals with who they have brought in? If after all these signings he stayed I would put a cheeky fiver on them winning the league but assuming he goes will they improve on last years finish?

Does Low have those sweat patches built in to his shirts? They are so common with him they may as well be dyed fabric as standard

I'd wager that we agreed a fee in Euros for selling Thauvin back to France so the weaker pound will be hedged through this anyway

Michael Owen doing a personal injury lawyer advert. Lesson in how not to drum up business

What? You're going to believe the Ashley hoop licking article instead of the ones that very obviously were leaked from the Rafa camp. They could of course both be true. Penfold is feeding back to Ashley that all is ok, Rafais p*ssed off and lets it known. Ashley gets p*ssed for being lied to. We've all seen employees telling the boss what they want to hear and not what they should hear You're overlooking a glaring question though, what would Charnley have to gain from not spending money that Mike has already sanctioned? It makes no sense. Not about not spending it, more to do with being out of his depth in getting deals done. Every time the question is asked 'all on track boss', 'just formalities of paperwork to do boss'

Give Henri Jacks wages

If it wasn't a pattern to making signings late then I'd suggest that buying after July 1st this year would make a big deal of sense tax wise. As it is a pattern however I'd say we are either just slow or prioritise a few weeks of not paying wages over team integration
