Ronaldo Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 Everton have been one of the clubs we always measured ourselves against a few seasons ago, but the signings they are making now are putting some distance between us. £28m on a proven striker who is only 21 is money well spent. But the best investment they made was in hiring a highly rated manager, and that's played no small part in persuading the like of Lukaku to leave Chelsea. I hope Everton wipe the floor with us next season. Haven't they finished above us every season bar one for the past 9 years? I think they are far superior to us in every way tbh. Indeed. Quite ironic that TRon has it in for Moyes because he took that club from relegation candidates to the 5th/6th most consistent team in the country.

DJ_NUFC Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 The issue is that we were ahead of them comfortably during SBR's years, but it's the resulting clusterfuck of decisions that's put such a distance between them and us, Moyes and their owners just kept the ship steady, and made wise decisions. Our owners did neither of those things. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 If ever there was a move which merited the Partridge shrug. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teasy Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 Really can see West Ham getting relegated. Probably another case of Allardyce doing the damage and getting sacked before relegation allowing for the usual "See they sacked Big Sam and got relegated, never should have sacked him".

AyeDubbleYoo Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 Jenkinson's more than good enough for a non-elite PL club, decent signing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teasy Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 We're none-elite and I'd puke if we'd brought him in instead of Janmaat. Suppose that's because we had such a good right back already though. Yeah e's probably good enough for mid table and definitely for relegation strugglers like West Ham, certainly won't be close of their worst player.

Segun Oluwaniyi Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 13 million pound to replace Carl Jenkinson with another young, unproven British fullback. Jenkinson's more than good enough for a non-elite PL club, decent signing. People seem to hate him. I don't know why, the player always seemed solid enough to me.

Mole_Toonfan Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 Chambers showed more talent and promise in his 20 games last season than Jenkinson ever will. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trumpet Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 Looks like we're going to tie up two Spanish fullbacks (Moreno, and Manquillo (loan) ) next week. I have not seen neither of them play, so no idea. Rodgers definitely realized he's had enough after seeing the horror show of every single fullback vs. City that offer nothing at the back or going forward. Inevitable Glen Johnson transfer to QPR in the last week will be the greatest thing about this window. Reckon Jose will stay though...well, no one will bid for him seeing he hasn't played for nearly a year. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mosstef Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 Yeah, give him back. We can always use an extra LB in our squad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Village Idiot Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 Deulofeu didn't even start that often did he? Certainly didn't play as major a role as Lukaku and Barkley. Those were the key guys IMO. Mirallas too. He was injured quite often, when he was fit he played. He was clearly important, churlish to suggest they won't miss what he gave them. Wouldn't surprise me if they got him on loan again though. Nah, he's staying at Barça. With Alexis sold, Suárez banned and Neymar crocked, he's probably going to be in our starting XI at the beginning of the season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
