Rightly so with most of our squad on less that £100k a week.

Anyone remember when Chelsea signed Willian from under our noses?  Don't know whether it was the way they did or the sneering gloating Mourinho that annoyed me more!!

Anyway, if we are going to bring in some players they are keeping their cards very close to their chests.

Neither can i and i'm sick of this deadline day <deleted> anyway.  Late negotiations like that can't be helpful to the manager.

This since any Jan deals will be overpriced.

 

No way Levy will do a deal like that unless the player would signicicantly improve the team and those players are very few and far between.

Kane is said to be on £110k. Who else is on at least £100k?

Not interested unless the cash is going in my account.

 

I just watch the football mostly.

You probably haven't heard Levy stating that come the summer when the new revenues begin withe the new stadium he's going to adjust our entire wage structure.  He's talking about major increases to give us parity with the likes of Liverpool and Arsenal.

 

It is a huge disappointment because everyones going to have to find something else to talk about

Better known as "The Mourinho Way"

Well lets face it, when he did it at Old Trafford he set an entirely new precedent in the history of the biggest club in the country, in front of Charlton and Ferguson, i would imagine to their immense disappointment.  And now, rather than focus on his squad he appears to be embroiled with some juvenile spat with Conte.  Strange behaviors for a bloke getting paid what he does but further evidence that he doesn't have the gravitas and self control to manage United.  

 

And before anyone barks on about him being manager at a huge club like Madrid,  remember he got kicked out of there via a player revolt, that was quite brutal by all accounts.

 

The premier league would be such a better league without this guy and his unpleasant antics

[carmine]

So we didn't even try to sign Barkley, because Pochettino felt there were "better players to be signed in the summer."

 

However, with the questions being officially raised by the Mayor of Liverpool there is a strong suggestion of inappropriate dealings involving player, agent and the chavs.  Surely not!!

 

I wonder what Evertonians think of Barkley doing a U turn in august before leaving to the same club in january and costing their club 20m in the process?!!  Spitting blood perhaps?

Our first bit of transfer business in this window.

Hopefully we might bring in at least one midfielder for extra cover but i'm not 

holding my breath.

Talented young player...thought it wouldn't be long before he was back in the top flight.

Your bang on, was looking forward to him being in the first team squad for last season,  mind you 12-14m seems a bit cheap taking into account the rise in transfer fee's and the fact we got 8m for him.

[smokie36]

Very comfortable win that although Everton are very poor.

[Bredbury Blue]

Well done Harry Kane.

"The 24-year-old is yet to win any trophies but has already secured his place in the club's record books by overtaking Sheringham, whose goals came during two spells - from 1992-1997 and 2001-2003. Kane's goals have come in only 135 (Premier) games, while Sheringham took 237.But, while he now holds the club's Premier League record, he has a long way to go to overtake Spurs' all-time top goalscorer Jimmy Greaves, who netted 266 times in 379 matches, including 220 league goals..."

Kane - 127 in 193 games, and no trophies with Spurs.
The *amazing Jimmy Greaves - 266 goals in 379 games, and 2 FA Cups & 1 European Cup Winners Cup with Spurs

*Greavsie scored during every major debut in his career. He scored two goals on his "Hammers" debut on 21 March 1970, in a 5–1 win against Manchester City at Maine Road. I was a kid in the Kippax (in WHU's half) and have always remembered Ronnie Boyce's volleyed goal from Joe Corrigan's clearance but until I just looked at this youtube clip I'd always thought Boyce volleyed it in from his own half - check out that goal and Greavsie's 2 goals (check out the 70s pitch)

Good around display although our second goal looked offside to me.  Son MOM in most peoples eyes.  He really is such an asset to us, a player that can change a game, add that extra spark.  Moussa Dembele in total control through the match and Hugo Lloris with absolutely nothing to do.  Mind you i feel far more comfortable with Wanyama alongside Dembele than Dier.

 

Tricky one next sunday away to Southampton but we've not got ourselves back pressuring the others contending for top four.

I really like that lad. Excellent work ethic and attitude. Come on a long way since you first bought him

I think it took him time to adjust to the premier league.  We bought him for 25m and he had a couple of seasons CL experience.

 

He just seems to be able to add something different and theres now fair justification for him to start games rather than coming off the bench as he's been used to.

[carmine]

From 31/1 we have Man United, Liverpool,Arsenal Palace and Juve twice.  Season defining i think.

[Bredbury Blue]

^What Premier position do you think Spurs will finish the season?

[balo]

Just watched the replay of last night game, we scored some incredible gosls even if Everton were poor. Watch the buildup to Christian Eriksens goal, and what a goal it was, amazing stuff.
