Man Everton play some great football

Good old James. And whilst I'm on that it's James not "Ha-mez"... He has said before he is named after James bond.... Not Ha-mez bond

I think you genuinely believe you have the agent provocateur finger on the pulse with everything you say on this thread whereas really you’re like the kid who plays Championship Manager and reads the pullout in The Sun but would probably mistake a real football match for a game of water polo.

You can't prove that kid wrong though, which says it all about you. You're the typical band wagon United fan who believes they've got the best players in every position, Ole is the next Sir Alex and success is just around the corner. Basically you've become Liverpool of the 90's and 00's. Deluded.

Neymar has wasted the peak years of his career behaving like an idiot in a footballing backwater. He's done zero in the CL for PSG and nothing for Brazil. His performances for both in big games have bordered on embarrassing.

£45m for Jota to Liverpool, I know who has the better of that deal.

personally, I'm excited.

If they'd sent an email out saying "Jota: £40m + add ons. Spread the £40m over the next 3 years and your first instalment is a promising young RB because we've sold Doherty" loads of teams would have been interested.

23 years old, 16&8 goals and assists in 46 apps last season. 10&7 the year before. Only going to get better, playing in a better team under one of the best managers around? Yep. works for me.

Yes mate. At that price I think you could've got a lot better. But I think the way we've allowed you to structure the payments has helped.

On his day he is outstanding but just doesn't happen often enough. I really hope that improves and he absolutely smashes it for you. I can get over selling our players to the champions. Good luck to him.

I watch him every week. You have overpaid. But like I said to Stu, the structure of the deal has helped.

Hope he nets 20 goals for you. Great lad and he won't hide. Gave us some great memories and took on a chance on us when we were 15th in the Championship (Mendes obviously helped too.)

I remember davie papas saying something similar when we signed mane.
Also one of the Geordie lads saying that for the money we payed for Gini, he’d drive him to Liverpool himself.

I don’t watch much football, bar Liverpool so I’ve no clue. I do trust in their signings tho

Fair enough Dave, I hope he does as well they have. No sour grapes from me.

If rumours are true they initially wanted Sarr but Watford were asking £50m+

I like Jota from what I've seen, the fee seems excessive £41-45m but getting between £9.5-£13.5m for a young highly rated fullback whose played very little 1st team games makes it about right.

I'm hoping he can be Mane or a Salah, hes certainly got the ability. I know many scoffed when we were buying a Chelsea reject and Mane.

He's a definite improvement on Shaqiri and Origi though.
 
Such a weird position for west ham
Our bench actually is stronger than our first team

Yarmenlko , Haller, lanzini, Anderson

I'd drop cresswell personally .. put masukua to lb then Antonio left and Haller through middle

Only change id make
