Village Idiot Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 Ronaldo signs a new Real Madrid contract until 2021. He'd be 36. I'll be surprised if he sees it off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tubestationatmidnight Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 A lot of his game is pace and athleticism, he might be a shadow of his old self by then. Some players can do well and carry on scoring goals at 35-36. Other top players have faded away much sooner. Henry was well on the way down by 31/32 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Odear Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 Very damaging comments as far goes the rest of the squad. It may get one last good year out of the player though, especially if he's playing with the belief that he'll get a move to Barca Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The College Dropout Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 It's facts though. The same is true of Koeman's managerial career. If Everton is the biggest club he'll ever manage (forgetting Valencia), he would consider it a failure imo. Dyche made a decent comment awhile ago about players motivations. It can be anything, he just needs to know what it is. If it's getting a transfer away to a more prestigious club, he'll support it if they deliver. If it's wages, likewise. If it's praise and an arm around the shoulder etc. I think it's fair. Lukaku - go and score 30 league goals and help us get into the CL and you'll get that Barca move. That's fair. Pardew's brand of help us stay up and you'll get a move to Spurs is unacceptable. Koeman's talking the absolute pinnacle of the game. Pardew was talking anyone in the top 6.

So unless you manage a 'top club' then your entire managerial career is a failure? What absolute shit. Koeman could achieve (and already has achieved) a lot in his managerial career. If he won the league or got CL football consistently with Everton, I doubt his career would be seen as a failure. In relation to Lukaku, rather than the shit he has sprouted, why not come out and say; 'Romelu would like CL football, we cannot currently offer him that but we've asked him to stay with us for 1 or 2 seasons to try to achieve it'. Rather than openly touting his player to other teams. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MSC26 Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 Koemen is simply speaking the truth here. Lukaku was touted as the next big thing when he was at Anderlecht. If he has never progressed from a top 8 team in his career, as Everton are, then he would be one of those who is remembered for not reaching their potential. If he turns around and scores 25 goals this season and goes to Arsenal for example, then he can look back on his career knowing he played for a top club. Everton aren't going to reach that sort of level realistically, and Lukaku needs to leave if he is going to be what he was touted as. Personally, I don't rate Lukaku that highly and think he is a perfect fit for Everton. He'll score the goals they need, but I don't think he'll be the main striker at a big club and I think he needs to be that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest firetotheworks Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 Koeman is the manager of Everton ffs. People saying that he's simply speaking the truth. This is what it's come to, fucking pathetic. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deuce Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 Don't know how anyone can look at a 23-year old with 67 PL goals to his name and think he'd be anything other than a success at virtually any club. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Figures 1-0 Football Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 There is simply no excuse to openly tout your player to other clubs. No matter what level you, the player or the other club plays at. You should strive to grow and achieve things with your best players rather than being happy to be a stepping stone.
