The Footie Thread

[Pin-seeker]

Fifth is the only target we need to concentrate on atm.

Plus beating PSG

To go from winning the league,then spending close to £500m

Suppose buying success isn’t for everyone

Still not as bad a defence of the league as others including Chelsea in the top five twice.
How much have you spent not including things you have sold to yourselves.?
But give them time.

But surely that’s got to be the worst transfer window .
£450m+ and have any been a success?

I'd have to agree. It's not just the poor season but the poor season on the top of all that spend. Funny how it doesn't seem to get mentioned so much. Imagine City or Utd spending that and falling so far...

I would say Hugo Ekitike has done fairly well, especially when you consider the team have been underperforming for much of the season.

And yet benched him for today's game

Yeah I’m thinking that wil be with Wednesday in mind.
Although with Slot he is probably going to keep him on the bench and play 8-1-1 formation.
Maybe he should keep Rio (I can’t spell his surname) in after that

 

[PaulMdj]

Great advantage played by the Ref there.

 

[Lord Tyrion]

Is Dewsbury Hall the signing of the season? Everton Legend! ( well everyone else is a legend nowadays)

He's had a great season, been a brilliant buy. We set the bar higher for legend status though

Alex Iwobi & Richarlison?

I would say most of yours would probably be from the team in the 80s

Nah,he’s been really poor considering his transfer fee.
Hes part of the team that have been underperforming..

In what you would call modern times, the 60's and 80's. We would obviously add Dixie Dean to the mix from earlier days but otherwise those two eras. For me, no one since gets legendary status since that last 80's era.

I would politely disagree with the opinion he has been really poor.
He has been part of the team though

I would agree although a few might get into the fans favourite with people like big Dunc and maybe even Pickford and Coleman.

Not on 8 year contracts though like some Chelsea flops ( Mudryk)

He’s had good and bad games but!
He was garbage Wednesday in Paris.

He was and unfortunately he wasn’t the only one.
He has been inconsistent but I don’t think he has been really poor

I thought he looked back on his heels on Wednesday. Tired and slow to react. Maybe the season is too long for him this year. A good preseason and see how he looks then…??
