Pickford cannot handle the heat in games vs us or Liverpool, small minded little weirdo loses his head without fail

Origi the scouse mackem slayer

YES

Such a gross cunt

Pathetic this, ref is a waste

Everton are doing their best to play like rats and drag this game down to their level

Gordon looks like the sorting hat would instantly say 'Slytherin' for him

I swear Lampards bald spot gets bigger with each game

Juicy, that

And Liverpool have a chance to demolish Evertons GD a bit more, its a good day.

Van de Beek must be feeling pretty fucking stupid right about now..

Thats a shame, I remember a couple years ago he was meant to be a big prospect. Wonder what went wrong there? Has he had injury issues?

Nah thats not my thinking at all, nothing to do with the way Ashley ran the club. Im looking at how Howes tried to change the culture around the place since he came in and the amazing job hes done with it, hes got the team and fans feeling united for the first time in a long time all credit to him. The best way to fuck that up in the dressing room would be to bring in players on big wages, Bruno is on just over 100k pw if the reports on that are correct so I'd say somewhere around 120k this summer will our limit. I never moved goalposts I only said 200k as an out of reach example Like I said im happy to be wrong, maybe Eddie and co think we can push the boat out already because of the great work hes done so far with the players he might feel that its doable which would be a big step forward. We'll see soon enough.

Yeah im aware this is common practise in football, players obviously will get an idea of what other players make at the club though. I think the Messi Barca comparison is a bit different to where we are right now lol, just out of interest and for the sake of it - hypothetically say we get offered Benzema this summer but he'd want 350k pw, do you think we'd say yes?

Scouse mackems crying

Im not so sure

This summer 200k is to much imo, dressing rooms can be fragile especially when it comes to money and ego.

Concrete 120k, not a penny more. That guy completely missed the point anyway and got flustered about numbers, I think he had to scratch Mbappe off of his wishlist.

I agree with that to an extent, a push towards mid 100ks maybe at most. But as I said before - players on 200k or more this summer? No way. Im happy to be wrong like

Im in the minority on here thinking we wont break the low-mid 100ks this summer then, I guess time will tell. I just feel its not about what we CAN pay players, its what we will pay players.. not a case on if we can afford it, its a case of keeping the squad harmony intact.

Not always though, Bruno is on under that number. Its going to happen alright but I think that moving over that kind of number (120k) this summer in comparison to where the rest of our squad is would be moving to quickly and be a big risk as far as upsetting our current core of players, next summer? Sure, it will move upwards again.. maybe at a push we could see mid 100ks this summer? If Howe and co feel thats a safe move at this point then it would be great, I just cant see it personally. Like I said the first couple of signings will set the tone.

Was that Cornet sat with Pace and his wife?
