Think the world of Martinez, but I seriously think he made a big boobaa today with his flippant remark to the fans. If this doesn't come off with Lukaku now jeeeez what was he thinking? with all the press around too, he must have had dohhh! momment.
Think he needs to start doing Pottechino(or whatever his name is) n start pretending he can't speak english very well!

Naismith interview with Greg OK in Thailand speaking well of Besic, also throws in that he (Besic) has signed a long term contract. Nice picture of Besic in an Everton top.

ssn reporting betting on Lukaku's next side is suspended due to a sting of bets on Wolfsburg - I believe in Bobbie that this does not appear to be over :(

Any1 seen the video of Martinez being asked
'Will we get rom?' He replied ' yes of course we'll get him'

Read into this what you will but my optimism has been boosted

Ref. my mate in Germany & him returning the T shirt. should I,
1.ring him up & do the "Dam Busters" theme down the phone,?
2. ring Interpol & report his father for stealing bicycles in Holland during the 2nd World War.?
3.report his grandfather for having an offensive weapon (a spiked helmet) during the 1st w.w.?
Can't just let this go!

If you want my opinion. Bringing the war up is tacky. It was a long time ago and we have all learnt harsh brutal lessons from it, even those born after it. Laughing or mocking the war imo is on par with racism. People died, others were slaughtered while generations have held their heads in shame. Let it go we have moved on and are better people for it. That's the tiny bit of solace we can draw from such a horrific time.

Had an email from an old working colleague in Germany last week, he was banging on about the
World Cup, "Deutschland ober alist" & all that.
Fair enough I thought they were the best team overall, & then he reminded me about when England put 5 past them in Germany.
About a week after this game Marks & Spencer came out with a limited edition T shirt, with the names of the scorers, & times on the back. I bought one for him & took it over for him on my next visit. He took it all in good spirit (mainly Herford pills), but I always knew there would be a German "counter attack."He now want's to know if I want the T shirt back as a memorial,? as this will never happen again. what do I do?, catch22 I think.Any suggestions for the blue think tank?
(that are repeatable that is) thanks,
I Claudius.

Martinez confirms Lukaku will sign for Everton

I hope it does happen

Hmmm, while I'd really love to see Romelu back for good I'm not entirely convinced by that clip. Although the question sounded clear enough Bobby seemed in a bit of a hurry to get away and sounded like he was just being polite. I hope it is true but I can't see Bobby making a Freudian slip like that.

Anyone looking forward to Arsenal away on Feb 28 next year? I'm not because it"s League Cup Final weekend.
The League Cup does my head in. So many wasted opportunities. Look at some of the recent finalists: Birmingham Swansea Bradford. I'd love us to win it.

I've just read that Real Madrid are sniffing around lakuku, come on let's get this deal wrapped up and then Hernandez from utd.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

26 Jul 2014 12:22:37
Ive had a go at hernandez before so not getting into that, I doubt real madrid are after him, they need someone who can hold it up and have the pace on the counter, rom hass neither, players like falcao, cavani etc will be targeted, not the in particar but players on that level

Agree0 Disagree0

He's not going to keep their bench warm any more than he is Chelseas.

Agree0 Disagree0

If Rom has no pace, can't hold up the ball etc why am I so desperate for us to sign him!

Agree0 Disagree0

26 Jul 2014 14:32:49
He may have a shocking first touch, but Rom showed signs that could one day be excellent at holding the ball up, and there are few quicker and more powerful than him on the break, Swan.

Agree0 Disagree0

I can't believe that Real Madrid are interested in him at all. Firstly they have Bale, Ronaldo, Benzema and Jese. This would mean Lukaku would be down the pecking order yet again and either go out on loan or sit on the bench again or play with their reserves. Exactly the problem he had at Chelsea.

Agree0 Disagree0

26 Jul 2014 17:46:40
Yes potentially, i.e in about 4 or 5 years time, they wouldn't develop him or they would of just kept morata and not bother with the hasstle, I never said he has no pace, he has speed for a big lad but ronaldo, bale and di maria genuinly rapid, lukaku runs with the ball and sometimes forgets where the ball is when he's running, I want us to sign him, I will go mental if we do but real madrid standard already? No chance, I don't rate benzema as world class, they are a world class striker (falcao, lewandowski, suarez and aguero etc) away from having the most devastating attack in world football by a long distance, rom is nowhere near ready

Agree0 Disagree0

26 Jul 2014 19:11:23
Got to agree with the majority here, there is no way he would displace Ronaldo, Bale or Benzema at Real if he can't dislodge Torres,Drogba or Costa at Chelski.

Banter please ed iam getting evertons crest tattooed but I don't know whether to go with not last seasons but the one before that or this latest one iam swayin towards the new one but the old one still holds a lot of unforgettable memorys some good some bad lol anyway what's everyone's opinions greatly appreciated thanks

Believable0 Unbelievable0

{Ed025's Note - thats got to be up to you fozza, get a henna one first (not henen) .. :)

I just got the tower on my arm with EFC underneath in fancy lettering. I figured the tower will always be there the crest will change and morph but as Ed says it 's entirely your choice and down to individual preference

Agree0 Disagree0

26 Jul 2014 08:35:05
Personally fozza I hate tattoos but that's just because I'm a coffin dodger. However if I you are going to get a tattoo go to a good place You are making a perfect choice with the EFC crest, whichever design you choose.

Agree0 Disagree0

Haha ed. pb that's a good idea mate I am going to go with the new one as it represents a new era for are great club and the re-opening of the school of science plus its a nice crest which is also a bonus lol thanks for everyone's input lads

Agree0 Disagree0

26 Jul 2014 14:36:31
I'd go for the old one, personally, but that's mainly because I hate the new one(s). I agree with Ed, though. I'd recommend you get a Henna, or do it with a permanent marker, put baby powder on it then spray with hair spray (that'll last about a month), first, to make sure you don't change your mind.

Agree0 Disagree0

Fozza I think you should get I 8 kopites under the tower mate, lol

Been on holiday for a week just wondering if someone can update be on what's been happening, have seen we have near as signed besic and henen. How Close is the Galloway deal if still on and most importantly is lukaku, or a striker looking close? Cheers guys

Believable0 Unbelievable0

{Ed025's Note - besic has gone on tour with the boys clarkey, and will sign in a couple of days, the henen deal is agreed in principal, and bobby is confident he can land romelu, not sure on galloway though mate..

Great cheers ed!

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed001's Note - I was told Galloway was done and just compensation to sort out so paperwork can be completed.}
