SUPERTOON Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 The thought of adding Maddison (or any other high quality attacking player) to that performance on Saturday is so exciting. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, FFP is a cartel. All that needs doing is to ensure owners will personally/professionally underwrite the losses. FFP is there to stop new Chelsea, PSG & Man City's. If FFP was about protecting football clubs - they would prevent leveraged takeovers that take profitable clubs into huge debts. I mean yes is a stretch but there are idiots out there Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keegans Export Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 19 minutes ago, Tiresias said: I dunno, I appreciate it is maybe poorly implemented but as a measure to make sure clubs aren't spending beyond their means it still strikes me as sensible but it does seem bafflingly implemented. Nottingham Forest's spending looks very worrying to me as i think they are very probable to go back down and then can they afford that? Equally you look at the bonkers spending of Chelsea and you think are they really earning enough to offset that? (The answer is yes by all accounts but it still looks baffling). This is all aggravated by clubs taking full advantage of the Covid rules that were there for good reason and yet some clearly taken the piss with it. That's the problem - it's disguised as that, but it isn't. Clubs are still going bust, they're still being laden with debt (eg Burnley) and the top clubs are only "sustainable" as long as they are consistently sitting at the top end of the table.

Jackie Broon Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 1 hour ago, Doctor Zaius said: As well as we played on Saturday I think we really need a few more like. Almiron has been decent in pre season but a good right sided forward/winger changes this side. It adds much needed quality and frees up ASM from getting doubled up on as much. Desperate to get one over the line and a backup striker for Wilson too. Feel like we're so close to a very good side, but just a little off being there. It'll be frustrating if we don't get anyone. I'm pretty sure Bruno will be off at the end of the season if he maintains this form, regardless of who we sign like but we need to be matching the ambitions of our players. Mind, I do recognise how difficult it is with the players available and the FFP constraints. I'm relaxed about it, we have a very good squad and all we really need is extra depth at CF and an upgrade at RW, ideally a player who can do both. The club are obviously being patient about it and will only buy the right player/s at the right price who will be a genuine upgrade on what we have. If we don't get that in this window we've got plenty enough talent and depth to have a very good season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mazzy Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 We've got the most players in that list. 6 in total, that's 2 more than Wolves and Brighton. Bit of an anomaly maybe as Forrest let us run riot to some extent. But still a good sign for us. I'd take any of the top 3 in that list. All of which would seemingly cost more than we are willing to pay though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I like Gordon as a player, think he has something about him that's a canny drop in levels, plus they play in different positions (though Howe has already addressed that by saying if we can strengthen elsewhere we will) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Decent record in La Liga (35gls in 81apps). Plays through the middle but can play out wide or as a false 9. Aresnal were interested in him before they get Jesus.

WilliamPS Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 Win against Brighton and wolves and do well enough against City and can look at some talented hungry players at CL clubs who don’t want to sit on the bench. One of the big issues is players arent willing to take a chance on Newcastle yet - but a strong start might turn their heads, especially if it’s initially a loan.

jack j Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 I thought Gordon had signed a new contract with everton? And maddison was on the verge of signing one with Leicester? Skybet got us 11/10 to sign paqueta. They definitely read this forum. 9/4 to stay at lyon 6/1 bar Wonder what their max stake is Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our insistence on trying to buy £50-60m players for £30-40m really seems to have no end in sight. Not saying Gordon is worth that, just that's what Everton will want, and so we'll just waste another week before getting told to fuck off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
