Premier League 2019-2020 we’re off

[4LEX]

Woodward has lost his bottle with signings. He's been burnt by big buys and he's been burnt by older players on sky high wages. He's now at the point he's scared to make a bold move and is trying to avoid big agent fees and is essentialy bargain hunting with players in the 20-25 age as they're assets and have resell value.

Ighalo and Slimini have been linked on loan

Fernandes is the best player in Portugal by a country mile. Get him in. Are we going to be a "big" club or not ? Our squad is simply awful right now and needs world class players. Whoever we get we'll have to pay a fortune for anyway.

I'd also get Cavani , he's 32 but experience is a good thing and he would do a job upfront. He's just handed in a transfer request at PSG too. Apparently we're in the hunt for him along with Chelsea

I don’t know what the price is for Fernandes but I’m surprised if he is that good other teams aren’t going mad for him - but I think and only going by the small amount seen of him it’s possible that it’s a case of big fish little pond and if the price is silly then it’s risky , if they asking for £80mil now that’s a big price and suspect there is a good number of players around going for cheaper than that - Neves , Maddison , Grealish for example

Cavani at 31 is still a superb player and if available then there are a number of clubs that should be all over him - he is going to be big wages though and I’m not sure if he fancies the Premier League now - brilliant player though

What planet are you living on.
Do you seriously believe Villa would sell Grealish in this transfer window in the position they are in.
Delusional
Stick to Hockey Phil it’s what you know best.

Disagree there Phil, just because other teams arent going for him doesnt mean he's not a quality player. I dont remember big clubs being in for Salah,Mane,Fabinho, Origi.

Well UTD were after Fabinho , both Mo and Mane weren’t at high prices and neither were all over the media being touted like Fernandes has been since the summer , neither were they ripping up trees in regards stats

There have been lots of talk about Fernandes with even us included in the mix , so someone is desperate to move him imo ( club and agent ) - got a small bite in the summer with Spurs having a go but rejected and now trying to land the big fee.

Not saying he is a bad player and i suspect if going for the same fee as Mane and Mo etc then it’s going to be a player you would take a punt at - but £80mil ?! He was available at £50mil in the summer

The point stands, just because other big teams arent in for them it doesn't make them bad players.

Yernited are in a position were they're desperate so the price is being hiked.

I quite like the idea Woodward is not being held to ransom. It's easy for these internet managers screaming "just pay the money", the club whose next player they want will do exactly the same.

Stick to hockey Phil ???

Anyway, its FA Cup 4th round weekend, to Evertonians it's just another weekend ?? ? looking forward to seeing the young lads getting a game.

Didn’t say he was a bad player - just not a £80mil plus player but they are desperate.
If he is that good then and worth that much when looking at his stats that someone would pick him up at the £50mil they could have got him for in the summer.

And I don’t think it’s Woodward this time - it seems it’s one of the Glazers who don’t think he is worth it ?

Either way they could be having the same issues we had for years - players want that regular CL footy , hence why you see rumours of a Leicester flop and a Watford striker who went to China

To be fair it's impossible not to be held to ransom when any selling club sees they pay Martial £220k a week and Luke Shaw is the highest paid full back in the world. It's too late to appear prudent and clued up. It'll either be pay over the odds but make sure the player delivers or take chances on cut price signings or younger players and accept essentially being Arsenal.

Neither was Maguire and he's captain now ??

 

[Pin-seeker]

So that’s how we gauge how good a player is/going to be.
By the number of clubs that the press have reported to have shown interest in him?
suppose it all depends on which club are involved ?

 

[Fish]

Anyway, the big story of the night is the Wirral wonders.

Bring on United, Mersey clipper and the Sportsman will be, erm, welcoming.

Lots of chatter about old school boys all coming out to see how fast united can run......If Utd try and do there normal trick by getting into a pub nearby early en masse thinking their safe, I’ll bet odds on they'll all get mullered!

and then Shrewsbury have some very tough & naughty lads that’ll be looking for some Scalps. I’ve met & travelled with some Shrewsbury lads, they’re madder than a mad mans madman ?

Birkenhead town centre is only down the road, and where some fans try and go, or in the Prenton park, but its Tranmere's cup final, and there is always a few Scousers who take an interest shall we say.

I went to Shrewsburys old ground in the FA cup years ago, had a few bevvies in the town, dont recall much happening.

 

[Slime]

My head wants Utd to crush Tranmere, but my heart wants United to crush Tranmere in a replay.
It'd mean so much, financially, for Tranmere to get a game at Old Trafford and it'd be the highlight of some of the players' careers..

 

[clubchamp98]

We'd have to change our style if we had a box striker. While Bobby doesnt score loads he's scored 5 winners this season, make us 10 points better off than were we couldve been if not for him.

Get Mo scoring again would be good.

I still think there is something wrong with Mo. And not just his finishing.
He seems to have lost some pace.
as for Bobby , you can’t argue with were we are and how we set up.
But we were talking about back up for him not replacing him.

 

[Orikoru]

Just want to congratulate everyone on the milestone of reaching page 4-4-2.

Yerniteds lot will be safe hiding behind the usual MP escort.

I reckon they tip them off themselves so they get wrapped up, they can then sing and shout at Tranmere hiding behind plod.
