Other than the odd head injury each game he's been great to watch. Interesting runs, the odd thunder strike, intimidating defense.

And that Schar bit was great.

I totally agree although for 80k a week or whatever I could be persuaded.

That's a really good question. Could a team register a player that didn't yet have a work permit and if the permit fails they simply lose that squad spot or are players only allowed to be registered if they have a permit to work in England?

One out of two ain't bad!

Just finished watching the game on ESPN and it was a fantastic game. Fulham had some great chances, helluva game.

Excited for the match but I have a DR appt at 21:40 GMT....... Won't be here for the end lads but when I get home, will pick up the game where I left off. Can't wait tbh.

Very low bar for many reasons.

Even Wood made a certain amount of sense at the time. Looking forward to seeing what he can do for sure. He works hard and is fast.

Bodyguards......

Good points. I have alot of trust in how the recruitment team have done and how Eddie has coached up players previously thought of as shite personified so I'm pretty stoked to see what he can do under proper direction.

Maybe 6-8 weeks.

That's a proper summation.

I never heard of the bloke. I'm old, I listen to YES and Jethro Tull. Likely I guess. Heard his name mentioned in NFL circles.

Actually I do like his stuff.

and while being chased down the street by his own supporters.

It's possible. Agent: Dan, they are playing hardball on this. My client is keen on the move. Ashworth: I remember once when a player stopped training and the club moved quickly after that. I would never advocate that, mind you. Still, it did work a treat.

Shithousery is one thing, especially on the field but Dan Ashworth doesn't strike me as the sort.

On their forums they mentioned Newcastle are putting him up to this. Can you imagine Ashworth being so unprofessional? There is no way in hell he'd operate like that. I agree with Prophet, Everton want him to look bad and I bet after the car incident he may have been lied to and he said "Fuck it, I'm out".

Toffee forum speculates he told his agent “get me the fuck out of here” after that. I have a feeling his agent was given one valuation ;but then when two clubs come in for him they jacked it up.

I guess for me I wouldn't be against getting 40M for him but in this window? That seems like a summer window deal, not during a push for Europe. edit: As always if there are incomings that actually happen then maybe.

I get that, but now? Unless there are big things being engineered behind the scenes that would be a massive mistake to me.

No chance unless they have some master plan agreed to for splashing on another player. I doubt that. Maxi could be a big part of the last part of the season.

I would agree although isn't that how football works sometimes? Club may have said "We'll let you go if they meet our valuation" then jacked up the price meaning he goes nowhere. All complete speculation of course.
