Guest Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 Are the Moyes/Kenwright remarks being brushed over by the way, or does it not tie in with the whole "most owners/managers lie when it suits" thing. Would be interesting to find some quotes after the sale to see if Kenwright/Moyes were going to put the money back into the squad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JH Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 Just asked Mehdi what the craic is... ? I asked him too. Didn't say owt. First time he's not responded to a question He's like 18 isn't he? Howay man lad, at that age when someone told me "Don't mention this to anyone", I'd tell anyone and everyone I came across in the next day Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's what ours do which is what matters. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not exactly unknown that Everton don't spend money on transfers is it? Not sure what point you're making. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 Given that we were one kick away from 9th anyway, I don't see why that's not a fair, realistic expectation. We were 3 goals away from 14th and I don't see that we've replaced the goals that we no longer have in the squad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wullie Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 Kenwright is a total hate figure amongst Everton fans. Hardly a ringing endorsement as a comparison. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 Kenwright is widely regarded to be another tight bastard lier of an owner. Doesn't justify our own. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 That people think this sort of thing is unique to Newcastle, when in truth it happens to every club outside the top 6, and even there, if an elite club wants to sign a player from say Spurs or Arsenal, they end up selling. (in Arsenal's case it's not always reinvested either). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Took them to the Champions League (sound familiar?). They do, however, love Moyes, who said he was going nowhere. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Out of the £35m I bet its about half a mill spent on players (not including wages) but surely wages should be covered by other club revenue? He is taking the piss and lied to us again, yes we have done good business but does that mean its okay not to spend big money on quality too? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is taking the p*ss and lied to us again, yes we have done good business but does that mean its okay not to spend big money on quality too? If the big quality (Gervinho? Gameiro?) are being signed by bigger/richer clubs, then there's not much we can do is there? There's not a single player in the Premier League this summer I've seen join another club for big money that I think we could have signed, or would have been worth the money.

Jack Flash Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 As I've said, name one non-top 6 club who'd have rejected those offers, offered Barton a long-term contract, and would be able to keep a player like Enrique when he only has a year to go? The difference is that most clubs would have re-invested the money back into the first team, like we were initially promised. Like Everton when they sold Rooney? (spent under £2m on Marcus Bent & Tim Cahill that summer) They went on to have their best season in 20 years. Rooney left on the last day of the summer transfer window and they loaned/bought Arteta and Beattie (for a club record) in the next window. Broke their transfer record 4 years in a row after 2004 too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think Simpson improved on Beye and I don't think Wiliamson improved on Bassong. Tiote did improve us and Ben Arfa probably will. Cabaye, Marveaux and Ba may or may not improve the squad.

Ketsbaia Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 Sounds like the trip from hell. Obviously we don't know yet, but it sounds like something big has happened. It's all falling apart though, why can't we ever just be normal? :( Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
