Is Steve Walsh the difference in the players you are now recruiting lads? Seems to do well wherever he goes. is he the difference or is it the money from Matey boy?

25 Jun 2017 23:27:35
Think it's a mix of the lot. It appears that our whole transfer policy has been overhauled. Obviously a lot of that will be about having the money and having a project to sell but the way we negotiate seems to have more assertiveness to it. I'm really enjoying being a blue at the minute (God knows we all deserve it! )

Steve Walsh is the best his record shows this but Koeman still has to make it work.

Are we all complaining about spending money now bloody hell the men at the top can't win we wait years for money and you lot complain when we get is anyone worth the money these days stop complaint boys and enjoy the rid.

25 Jun 2017 18:50:26
Cant agree more y is every one botherd how much we spend i don't get it its not
Coming out there pockets let's just enjoy the ride bout time we over spend 😂😂.

26 Jun 2017 14:20:50
Enjoy the rid? Personally I'd rather have a longer rid at the top than Leeds did. Never gave out once when we couldn't spend money. Understood that a business has to look after itself and ensure its continuity.

Same as spending too much. I'd be delighted if the club spent £500m this summer. On one condition, that they can afford it.

Have every faith with the people are there at the moment. Wrote a post only days ago praising BK for pulling the club from the bottom of the table to where it is now.

In my DNA not to overspend. That's probably why I personally am a little apprehensive when the club starts splashing the cash. As I said imho its fine provided to can afford it. Being wise with the money have and using it to the best of its ability I feel will be crucial to breaking into CL places.

{Ed002's Note - The club cannot do that.}

26 Jun 2017 16:48:02
Cannot do what? Spend £500m? I know Ed002. Just making the point I don't mind the club spending as long as it's within the clubs means.

Maybe you were referring to Evocallum saying its about time we over spend. I don't agree with that. Spend, yes. Over spend, never.

{Ed002's Note - The club CANNOT spend £500M this summer. It is not possible nor allowed. None of you seem to understand the FFP rules at all. We went through this before with Moshiri giving the manager £200M per window plus what they could get from sales. It is all nonsense.}

26 Jun 2017 20:48:16
Ed002 I never said the club COULD spend £500m. You seem unable to grasp my point.

{Ed002's Note - "I'd be delighted if the club spent £500m this summer." were your words. How would that be possible - just share how Everton could possibly do that.}

26 Jun 2017 22:30:57
Yes Ed002 there was more to it than the bit you highlighted there. Just because I said 'I'd be delighted if the club spent £500m' doesn't mean it stops there.

In the context of the conversation we were having it was appropriate. It was hypothetically speaking because I was saying I don't like Everton spending big. My point was as long as they stay within their means I don't care how much they spend. £500m was me being purposely exaggerated to get my hypothetical point across.

I understand FFP rules fine. I wasn't bringing it in to get my point across to the posts above mine. Perfectly aware that Everton will not be spending even half of that figure. It was just the way the conversation went.

{Ed002's Note - What the hell sort of point are you making NBTB? The fans truly thought Moshiri would be giving £200M per window plus sales for transfers. This is why we don't talk about money.}

26 Jun 2017 22:42:34
They can think what they want Ed002. I can only speak for myself.

Basically I was saying I don't mind the club spending big as long as they can afford it.

That ok? No figures mentioned at all there. It seems this has been a topic the last couple of days with the Sig rumours flying around.

{Ed002's Note - It is not as simple as "affording it". You need to get out of this financial mindset or understand the finances better.}

27 Jun 2017 08:21:23
How do you know how much I understand the finances Ed002?

You remind me of my father. I'm very fond of him but given just a sniff of a chance to put someone down he'll do it as much as he can. Even when he doesn't get the point the person is trying to make. I don't hold it against him. Its just his generations mindset and way of carrying on.

{Ed002's Note - You posts demonstrate that you have no grasp of the finances whatsoever. It is not me putting you down, it is me wasting my time telling you that your posts about money are complete nonsense.}

27 Jun 2017 08:58:22
Ok Ed002 if you can't understand the simple point I was making that's fine. My understanding of the finances are fine and have nothing to with the point I was making. I think that's where your having trouble.

I'm not talking about just me being put down by you. It's a regular theme with your posts. That's why so many on here get annoyed with some of your put downs when you post.

We all appreciate and value your tremendous input and knowledge but that doesn't mean you need to put people down or even comment on people when they are discussing certain topics.

{Ed002's Note - They get annoyed because they don't like the answers to questions. They don't wish tyo know more but want their little fantasy football thoughts gently stroked.}

Just like to say a huge congratulations to Sydney Blue, shortly to earn his 100th cap for Australia, well done Tim, a massive achievement and one of my all time favourite Everton players.

25 Jun 2017 16:08:48
Agreed, one of the best headers of a ball I've ever seen .

25 Jun 2017 16:19:15
Timing. One of the most important parts of the game. Whether it be a header or an overhead kick he had perfect timing.

Add this to his passion for Everton and how he treated the fans makes him a legend and up with the best of them.

Totally underrated except by us blues.

25 Jun 2017 16:50:29
Hopefully he'll bring that passion back to us one day.

25 Jun 2017 17:03:07
Agree with o. p. modern day Everton legend for me! Wish we had 11 of him now.

25 Jun 2017 17:17:57
I just love everything about him. Skill, passion and loyalty. There is nothing that I can say that could be negative.

25 Jun 2017 17:52:33
Shame we couldn't put the clocks back 10 years for him, I would of loved to see him in his prime under RK.

25 Jun 2017 19:37:02
Football has moved on, Everton has moved on, Cahill would not fit into the current Everton team. He couldn't tackle, couldn't pass, wasn't blessed with pace, but could head a ball and had a knack of scoring important goals. Can't fault his passion for the club, but sadly you need more than that now as a player!

25 Jun 2017 21:39:04
sid. R u ok just read 2 of your posts and they are very negative. When he went I was gutted. Then I heard it was only for a million. Well let's just say I weren't happy.
Infact r u sure you're everton.

25 Jun 2017 22:05:13
And the award for the most pessimistic 'fan' and I use that word loosely goes to sidutton. Bloody hell, first Sigurdsson isn't going to improve us?! Really. Because we had midfielder last seasons who had more goals and assists than him. wait no we didn't so that comment was bad enough but to then belittle the achievements of Tim Cahill after a poster congratulates him gets me wondering have you wandered over to this page by mistake? I'm all for opinions being different but this posters criticism over players past and possibly future is ridiculous.

25 Jun 2017 23:02:33
Never thought I'd ever see a poster being negative over Timmy the Blue Kangaroo. Can't get my head round that one.

25 Jun 2017 23:14:06
Cant honestly believe an evertonian (if he is like ) could slag tim off like that, didn't need to be ligthening quick as he read the game, seem to remember he could tackle and never backed out of a 50/ 50 and he couldn't pass lol? Which tim cahill where you watching .? Always welcome back anytime your ready tim 👍👍👍👍.

25 Jun 2017 12:36:18
People saying don't pay over 30 million for Sigurdsson as better options, hello proven in prem scores goals and a lot of assists for a team that was bottom half of table, liverpool pay 40 million for a player that did not make it in prem and it's a wonderful signing.
Have I missed something.

Brilliant post Trueblue.
