Needs one to go in off his arse, he was in the right place on a couple of occasions but does seem maybe a yard off it. Would've had a tap in had Almiron crossed in the second half when the ball was on his right foot rather than play it back out to the support behind.

Lukaku has been awful this season, I'm not sure who will be willing to pay his wages & a big fee for him. It wouldn't surprise me if he ended up leaving on a free in the summer just so they can cut his wages, other than that maybe a loan to Turkey or something along those lines, he'll be 30 by the end of this season. I'm not sure who's going to be willing to pay a big fee for Sterling either, they'll absolutely take a big drop on the £50M that they paid for him last summer. Havertz seems like it has loan to Bayern Munich written allover it & Hudson-Odoi is on massive wages for what he's currently offering, he's not been that great at Leverkusen. I think they'll struggle to recoup a lot in transfer fees it's going to be mainly loans and getting wages off their books. Colwill, Chalobah & Gallagher or the ones who will have some value in a transfer, it wouldn't totally shock me if they started looking at letting Reece James go. He could command a huge fee and obviously with his HG status it helps their FFP massively, Gusto has been brought in for a reason. Would Man City look at James as a long term Walker replacement.

What the fuck have you had for breakfast?

There's no way Almiron is being dropped/rested and he shouldn't be either.

I'm not saying they're near each other talent wise but Longstaff can run. I would hope the next lot of signings we bring in especially those for Gallagher money can consistently offer more than pressing.

It sort of does in that if they have a decent game I probably now think he could improve us because well we're pretty good now aren't we.

He started like a house on fire at Palace then only scored 2 after New Year, I just find him a bit meh really. Classic English midfielder who doesn't really do anything exceptional. I wasn't impressed with him in any of our games against them last season either, he was taken off in our home game because he got very little out of our midfield.

The last time Gallagher looked any good was around the same time Gordon did as well but the two are viewed very differently by our fan base.

It's a bit gusty for a Chopper today.

There's very few teams who can afford to go to £40M for Gallagher & their new transfer model seems to be reliant on selling HG players in order to offset the mad spending for FFP. If they don't get Champions League money next season they'll potentially be forced to sell him for a lot less than they're asking now.

I still think there's a real chance they could go down, they're the 3rd lowest scorers and conceded the 2nd most. IMO it's down to other clubs under performing (Leicester, Wolves, Leeds & West Ham) that they're in the position that they are. Their next few games will do a lot for how they end up, their run in is pretty awful.

I see Forest are already having to loan out 2 of their signings from last summer, Toffolo & O'Brien. Dennis has been pretty bad as well, the scatter gun approach not really working.

Florida Print to get his top done.

Because we’re class that’s why.

Sorry like but if there’s anything I like about this club it’s an unlikeable fucker having a stormer, I hope he goes wild.

Hopefully his first same stray pass or bad finish isn’t met with the same reception as ASM’s.

The Bellamy comparison has led me down the route of reminding myself all the batshit mental stuff that went on during his time with the club on & off the pitch, he was certainly a character.

They don't have a pot to piss in, if Dyche wants to bring in any sort of reinforcements they need the money from Gordon.

Harsh on Dyche that, he was very successful with 1 club similar to Howe at Bournemouth. He even did a pretty decent job at Watford as well, he's not a fancy name and was possibly limited by situation at Burnley with their style of play. He's a better appointment for now than Bielsa would've been.

At this point in time what do Everton fans want? They're on their way down now, if they somehow manage to get out of the mess then surely the can put up with a couple of years of consolidation with Dyche and then look to progress if that's not coming with him. If they're relegated they've a bloke who knows how to get promotion & will probably be able to grind out results in the Championship.

@TeddySAFC What's the thoughts behind buying these young lads either from France or the ones from PL Reserve teams? Is the hope to buy low and sell high and consistently churn out that type of profit or is it keep them and hope they can progress with the club for years? From the ones you've brought in this season and the few games I've seen I'd say Ba has probably looked the best, I'm not counting Amad as there's no option to buy. I can't see you picking up the Michut option or him wanting to stay really and I'm not sure with Alese he technically doesn't look great at left back but obviously a decent athlete.

Gordon, Isak, Maxi & Almiron. Be a struggle to find a team with more pace in attack than those 4.

42mg suggests he wasn't swerving allover the road like a madman and more likely to have been stopped because of the car he was driving at that time of night. Such is life.

Actually it might just be one but he does seem to pick up injuries pretty often for the last couple of seasons before the ACL injury.

Two ACLs I think
