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!!

He be signed up by Thursday pm* *if not then Friday lunchtime

Yep, tied up by next weekend or Monday at the latest. I tend to agree, I don't think they would still be talking if yesterday didn't go well. If Ashley fucked up it would be over now.

Why hasn't he got a new contract? Could they not agree on the terms or was he not offered one? Can't remember.

Ashley would have said the right things last night, thumb will be tying up the loose ends this morning

This place Reporter: you staying after that? Rafa: of course I am, tell mike to bring the contract down Wtf do you expect him to say. He shook hands with people shock, he shook hands with all of the Spurs players and staff and our own ffs. Watching that after the match, they he went on with Townsend, he quotes earlier, the sky interview and the fact he's meeting Ashley today means to me that he's staying, it's Ashley's to fuck up.

Apparently quite a few had those masks on today

Sissokho smiling, Rafa covering his mouth, Townsend telling him to get out there then Rafa covering his mouth talking to him coming off, unless Ashley pisses him off he's here.

Benitez actually looks a bit embarrassed by the fuss

Townsend absolutely needs to stay and should've been given the armband there

Sell him, fucking cock. Eyeballing the ref about 5 mins before man, this has been coming

Mackems winning

As long as Ashley comes up with the goods he's here

Another two seconds
