  1. Sad indictment of English football if Leon Osman should be a regular international, epitome of the decent but unspectacular footballer. Much more interesting footballers out there to pick from, in my opinion.

     

    Absolutely nothing wrong with giving him a try at that level imo. He's an industrious player who has stood out for Everton more often than not. He's no clogger either, and his technique is pretty good for an Englishman (stereotype alert).

     

    The real indictment of English football is that Stevie Gerraaahd YNWA is still fucking captaining the side despite being injury ridden and completely finished for 2 years now.

  2. How long in his contract? Just wondering if Everton can squeeze some good money for him.

     

    Long - 5 year contract signed less than a year ago.

     

    Not surprising that a very good player who deserves to be playing at CL level wants to play at that level. Completely unnecessary him coming out with these comments though.

     

    Absolutely. Everton and Moyes should slap him with a fine. No place for these comments at this stage of the season. From Everton's point of view he'll be a marked man now as far as his performances and body language/behavior go. Any below par showings will be attributed to these comments and his desire to leave. Stupid.

  3. Gregory van der Wiel has spoken to Dutch media (Algemeen Dagblad) and said the following:

     

    "I don't know how serious their interest was, but it was never in my mind to move to Newcastle"

     

    "I was raised in Amsterdam and I want to live in a big city. I couldn't picture myself living in the middle of nowhere in Newcastle anyway".

     

    Well...

     

    Middle of nowhere :lol:

     

    What a twat

  4. Each of those swaps would've been horrific for them - I'm gobsmacked at the ideas they have.

     

    We're clearly going to get Enrique back though.

     

    Why would it have been horrific for them to dump Henderson or Downing for Dempsey?

     

    Although I do agree that they continue to embarrass themselves in every way possible. Rodgers is so out of his depth.....ah fuck it, I'm tired of going on about it  :shifty:

  5. :lol:

     

    Never ceases to amaze me that people follow him. Oh yeah sorry because you want to laugh at him.............

     

    It's not so hard to understand really. He's a blithering idiot, everyone knows that. People follow him because his bullshit simply stirs people's imagination and hope. For the record, I don't follow Colin  :mike:

  6. He was young when we signed him and wasn't a first teamer at Depor so he'll not be on Colo's wages, the same as he wouldn't have been on Colo's wages when they were both at Deportivo.

     

    We were dafter with our money back then but not THAT daft. Probably about £15k (I just made that figure up).

     

    He's on 50k pw.

     

    I know the guy personally.

     

    If you know him personally, then do you have any idea why he hasn't been much cop since he's joined?

     

    By his words.

     

    He has been frozen out, sometimes doesn't even get told when to report to training etc.

     

    I don't find that hard to believe, but he's obviously lacking in professionalism. If he cared at all - not necessarily about NUFC but about his career - he wouldn't need to be told when to report for training. I'm sure if he showed an interest he wouldn't be frozen out since he's already an employee of the club.

     

    He joined at a very difficult time, and he was a massive contentious boiling point in amongst the whole Keegan vs Wise debacle, so I can afford him some leeway. Where has he been in the last 3 years though in terms of application and effort?  :mystery:

     

    Hope he can revive whatever is left of his career and be a Sibierski type figure for us this season, even though he's not fit to lace the big bald giant's boots.

  7. He was young when we signed him and wasn't a first teamer at Depor so he'll not be on Colo's wages, the same as he wouldn't have been on Colo's wages when they were both at Deportivo.
