That's incredibly poor for a journalist. Pub rant.

Agreed he'd do well in the champ but he needs to massively improve for the prem, which won't happen on recent evidence

Welcome to modern day proper football man football

Exactly. If Ashley needs to put cash in he'll add it to our loan, he wants to get us back in a season so we can collect the tv money and advertise the shite out of his shitty company

That can't be real. Direct quote from BBC website. Piss off

Sorry mate but most professional footballers should be able yo make a decent pass given plenty of time and space.

Pretty sure that would've been one of the first things sorted on Sun/Mon. Sounds like bullshit The reports guesses had said that's what the 2nd LC meeting was all about. So it's taking the fat Jabba a few days to come up with a figure? Aye right. No, I never said or suggested that. I'm just stating what reports said to back up your post Sorry, that came across wrong. It was in relation to the original post.

Yep, pretty much sums it up

Yep. Get someone in who contributes more.

Nah, it's not mate. Ardiles did that for Hoddle in a completely different era although I do see the similarities. I just think that he's essentiall a waste of a place, we could get some more effective who would contribute more to the final result and doesn't need a babysitter. I'm thinking someone in Rob Lee mould.

Carr got into some deep s*** with the Marseille mafia on one of his trips. To his own amazement he managed to pull off the whole Cabella-Thauvin saga. Now quickly retires while still ahead. Do you think Thauvin would leave his girlfriend when he goes?

I'm taking no news as good news. Surely if Rafa was unhappy, his agent would be dropping some hints in the press to ensure that all clubs were aware he is open to offers from other clubs. Can't understand people getting worried. Ashley's clearly bent over and taken it up the arse, Benitez is happy and now there's just finer legal stuff to sort out and for everyone to sign. Are you alright? No. I'm finding this whole affair to be exceptionally disheartening. One chance people had to stand up for something and everyone is silent. Again. People are just desperate to believe anything, including filler tweets that clearly have no substance other than "we don't know anything more than we knew yesterday". I suppose the corollary is that people will (or at least should) flip the f*** out extra hard if it ends up falling through. It is a bit of a kick in the nads that he's slithering through Scot free so far, though. (Apologies to Scots.) Don't ask me how I know cos I can't remember but the word scot in scot free is a derivation of an Scandinavian word meaning 'tax'. So to get off scot free means tax free. I'll be on my way................... ever the teacher

He's not s*** like, it's just you have to build your side around him. Which we never really had the chance to do given the predicament we were in. The guy can clearly ping a pass, yes he has mobility issues, but you get someone to do his legwork, and then you would see the best of him . You can't build your side around someone that doesn't know what they're doing at CM, unless they are way better than the opposition (in the Champ perhaps this is true). You can have a wild card winger, striker or 10 but not CM. He has more than mobility issues, he has no idea what to do. Xabi Alonso has mobility issues, same with the likes of Tugay & Carrick but they where all intelligent footballers. Shelvey is not. No idea what to do when not in possession and can't even react by running. Add lazyness too. Yes he can pass but that's it. Everything else is League 1 standard. Unless he drastically improves his attitude and understanding of a CM, I want him to leave. I don't think Rafa fancies him anyway. As said - Colback is preferred. That's s****. He's played for England in the past six months. He just wasn't what we needed at the time. You keep on the hyperbole train though. The Mighty England. In games where we have loads of the ball and he's motivated, he's great aye. Can spend all game pinging passes. So can Charlie Adam. He was also sold by a team in the relegation zone. Displayed a lack of professionalism playing for them too. Have to agree to an extent with TCD here. He's a Hollywood player, we might get away with him in the Championship but not the PL. Too many of his team mates need to cover his inadequacies for not much benefit. Can't believe he was made captain.

Everton need a PFM, not some footballing ponce like Rafa What does PFM stand for? Footballing dinosaur ala redknapp/allardyce/pearson Proper football man - someone who has fight and Pashtun that will lead everyone on to victory the English way 'Allardyce akbah!' :lol: bastards. Bloody autocorrect

I can't believe you'd actually dare make this argument. They were being signed to play for us, you complete and utter f***ing joker. Far too many weren't fit for the Premier League. Why do you have to reply like that man? For years this idiot (and others) have robbed a living from NUFC doing an utterly s*** job culminating in another pathetic relegation and people actually want to defend him? It's either wummery or selective ignorance and I've no time for it. You're one of the best examples of a narcissistic personality I've ever seen. Are you like this in real life or are you one of those internet only twats?

Why do you have to reply like that man? almost 10 years on this site and you have to ask that? I'm well aware he's a complete cock but that's just f***ing stupid.

Yeah we do, they were all at Temple Park last week telling everyone about Benitez signing.

I think that Richard Keys is incredibly knowledgable and that he's right Mark Hughes should go to Everton. PFM rule!

Id like to think that he'll be putting most of his energy into getting us back up first!!
