Richard246 Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 I think we may see more incomings than we think ? And players moving out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost of Clough Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 Apparently he only joined Everton because he wanted to play alongside Rooney... he wanted to leave as soon as Rooney did a few months later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ambitious Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 I watched Everton with a mate who supports them. I can tell you that he wouldn’t piss on him if he was on fire and raged at his selection. Exactly the type of player we should be avoiding IMO.

Agreed but not at the expense of strengthening in positions where the need is greater when there's a finite transfer budget. Apart from both FBs, for me, striker is bottom of the incoming list.

Dimmu Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 Just now, BaaLocks said: Is this one of those multiple choice things? Yeah. Whatever you pick, it's always wrong. By the way, ain't he apparently being paid around 60k / week? Where the duck would we get that money from? Maybe we just don't pay other players salaries?

Prior to Ferguson temporarily taking charge, Everton fans would have similar views on most of their squad. Hope he does go to Palace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparkle Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 1 hour ago, Jayram said: To be fair why would a player of his calibre want to come here? We are a bottom half Championship side - he will have far better options at a higher level than us so don’t blame him for not jumping at the chance to join us. He might have ‘ better options’ but unless I am missing something - he cost a lot of money ? he costs a lot of money in wages ? and he has hardly scored a goal In English football - so far dreadfully bad value for Everton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where the duck would we get that money from? Maybe we just don't pay other players salaries? Indeed - I was convinced Ravanelli was a master signing. He reminds me of Branko Strupar in many ways, came across as this goal scoring machine but not quite done it to the levels that was suggested. I don't blame him for not coming - re: the earlier comment on Mitrovic, he's a goalscorer who hasn't really be scoring. To prove the doubters wrong he needs to be with a team where chances are aplenty and we've hardly been pulling up trees in that department over the last couple of months.

I like Marriott, would be frustrated if we sold him because he’s got more in his locker. If he keeps getting chances and opportunities then he will become less rusty infront of goal.

It’s a bit like when we had Bent up front, obvious goalscorer, but you have to build your team around a poacher like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not convinced. Far too weak for me. Both matches this week his hold up play has been my only major frustration (well and the missed chances). I think if he stays fit he’ll improve his finishing, no doubt about that, but I still don’t think he suits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
