is doumbia worth punt on.
{Ed025's Note - thats a matter of opinion bretto, he is 28 and that is ivory coast years....so he must be about 45.. :)
20 Jan 2016 18:58:33

{Ed025's Note - me too mate..
20 Jan 2016 19:03:04
but properly end up with long.
{Ed025's Note - i happen to like long bretto....i hope my bird does,nt though mate.. :)

he not bad but not really improvment on maisy.

Long is a good player reaching his peak at the moment I think. Look at Jamie Vardy. Who'd of thought he was going to have the season he has so far.
Long is a slight improvement on Naismith imho.

I don't see him as improvement pace yes that about it.

I wouldn't take a punt on doumbia myself wouldn't want to end up with a broken foot lol

Shane Long would be a good punt, that is always supposing they have someone that can persuade him to come here. Everton now in the top 20 money league yet seem unable to attract top players and investment/ takeover (if rumour becomes fact) is a no go.

Possible reasons why we lose out on some players:
we aren't - and don't look likely at present to ever be - In the Champions League;
we don' t have the revenue to pay huge wages (without a modern stadium we don't have the match-day income nor do we have the commercial income that other clubs have) ;
we aren't based in London (whatever you might think, many players - especially foreign players and their families - would prefer to live in London) ;
we aren't a "glamorous brand" known worldwide.

Can't disagree with that, I wonder though how the likes of Stoke can also be more attractive than us.
