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

We can't compete with them.

I thought he did really well in the first half as well, on another day they're a man down after that challenge on him by Caleta-Car or he rides the challenge and it's either a shot at goal or a pretty easy square to Wilson.

He'll be in the England squad before the end of the year and every fucker in Newcastle will be wearing patchwork trousers.

Aye he was brilliant last night when he came on, he terrorised Leeds & did ok against Fulham as well. He's came back from his injury/illness very well, I know he's arguably a saleable asset but he offers so much more than a lot of our attacking players that it would be such a shame to see him go.

Just interested given your opinion on Gordon’s attire/appearance.

R U Lush lyk?

Loan with obligation to buy for 15m if certain criteria are met. All Journos are reporting they’re pretty much a formality to be met. Unless you’ve heard otherwise?

Perrone had a low release fee.

It does but people are still reading the £60m and shitting the bed. If the deal quoted is done and we end up paying the £15m extra then we/he have obviously done well from it. We've not long ago paid £25m for Chris Wood and somehow managed to recoup £15m of it, I can't see a Gordon deal going that bad that we can't even get that back in a couple of seasons if he really was just a flash in the pan last year.

For those wetting the bed about £60m, it's not being reported anywhere that we would be willing to go anywhere near that amount.

Yep something along those lines.

David Ornstein explained it better than I ever would be able to on 5 Live on Friday night but selling any home grown player has a massive positive impact on FFP.

Chelsea can seemingly balance the books by selling a couple of home grown players over the next couple of windows, it's pure profit on Gallagher, Colwill & Chalobah and will easily offset the big spends.

If anything there's too much signal in the ground, been a long time since anyone has had to report to the nearest steward or been told to shift their car.

I hope people are just going to be happy when we've got more than 2 substitutes to being off the bench who might actually have a positive impact on the game.

Driving down to London tonight to stay with some friends if anyone hears of a spare ticket please let me know and I’ll meet up tomorrow.

If Howe is happy to push for him then that's enough for me, every signing so far has been from a thought out process and arguably the least successful (Wood) has still proved fruitful.

In

Looking for a ticket for this, will be down in London this weekend so can meet up if one becomes available on the day.
