here's one for the ed's breel embolo is allegedly in talks with utd although i cannot see why they have an abundance of forward talent and a lukaku so why would they want another rumour is we made an approach last night is this true any thoughts on it.
{Ed025's Note - i dont know if we have made an approach or not floats, but i cant see him leaving schalke in this window to be honest mate..
1.) 10 Jul 2017 20:29:58
Who oa breed embolo never heard of him . What has happ end to niang ed is that dead for now.
{Ed025's Note - i heard that hes asked mino to get back in touch with everton jipster, how true it is im not sure though mate..
2.) 10 Jul 2017 21:41:25
Niang can jog on, suddenly we're good enough for him now no one else is interested. Wrong mentality for the team, want players who really want to play for us, not just because nothing else better came along.
{Ed025's Note - fair comment gibbo..
3.) 10 Jul 2017 22:10:58
Spot on gibbo plus he's overated trouble maker.
4.) 11 Jul 2017 13:18:53
while i agree with your sentiment gibbo i wonder if you would take niang over Benteke at this point, especially as i cannot see palace letting him leave for the same money the paid. would expect if we going to get him that it would be protracted and costly. unless palace need to sell in order to strengthen after weeks of outrageous links and excitement benteke is a real scratch your head and "are you sure ronnie moment". it could be that Benteke could push thru the transfer at his end cause, if palace don't need to sell to strengthen then its going to be a deadline day deal i reckon.

so has anybody got a clear opinion on this ramirez link to los blancos has he signed for madrid or not has he signed for us or not.?
1.) 28 Jun 2017 00:45:23
Perez real head honcho states they have no knowledge of any bid for Ramirez think we just need to be patient until after the u21's and the window to open on the 1st July. Calm heads guys!
2.) 28 Jun 2017 06:49:15
my thinking yesterday was that he wanted to control his future mainly cause he wanted to get back to Barcelona in the near future but i guess he could be persuaded to go to real (who wouldn't be ) unusual tho if the player switches his allegiance' especially cause he would probs be 2 or 3 choice for what i can only imagine is his least favourite team.
3.) 28 Jun 2017 13:10:10
There are rumours, and I stress rumours, Sandro flew in this morning to complete finer details.

Love your name steviegee!

Having reached the final of the U-21's I can't see the Spanish management allowing club business to get in the way of what they are trying to achieve and you couldn't blame them. If he's going to be announced I don't think it will be until after the final.

the problem stems from buying and playing, only one. of three very similar forwards who are actually midfielders. first koeman did and now unsy is. klassen rooney and gylfi. why first ron now david is giving the nod to sig is beyond me he is not earning the start from match play that's for sure. would love to know what he is doing in training to warrant being played cause as far as i can see he is a luxury player we don't need. we do need youth and young legs in the middle. same for morgan when gana was playing cdm without him he was the best in the prem since he's been playing with him he is the worst. solution stop playing them together neither koeman and unsy have done this. its the same at the back how can a premier league squad not have a back up LB, and after the first time we played martina in the LB position why was he again picked by both koeman and unsy to play there again, we must have a 16 year old who can play left back better than him he is not an option. i wonder if the problem is unsy not taking the best players from the secondary squad and forgeting fringe squad players like holgate who can defend when others being picked clearly can't. all that being said i don't believe it can get much worse, the last ten games we have been terrible and we are barely in the relegation zone with jan on the horizon and seamus yannick nearly ready the next ten games will be better imo so no need to panic me thinks.

a manager will not solve efc's problems. doesn't matter who they bring in he will soon realise that the squad needs replacing. we have 7 or 8 young and good players, beyond that there is nothing at the club. how officials at our club haven't seen the obvious is beyond me, without singling out any particular players it has been disappointing since unsy took over. when he did vlasic started to look like he was settling in at the club under what has to be said difficult circumstances first thing he does is drop him. and plays more or less the same players out of positions, as koeman did. they say a definition of madness is to keep doing the same thing and expect things to work out differently. i don't know what i expected from unsy, tbh. i thought he would see that rooney can't play up front and maybe drop morgan or gana and play rooney there or sig use vlasic and cal, niasse as forwards which they are but, so far rooney now sig up front shows he doesn't understand the problems we have. all season our whole forward line has dropped into midfield so we have been pressured more and more as games have gone on and managers tactics and formations are the problem. not since gordon lee have i seen an everton side this lacking in everyway possible. we have to be careful what we do next bring in the wrong guy and nothing will change several of our first team players cannot and must not be allowed to be on the same pitch at the same time. rooney mid no sig sig mid no rooney. gana no morgan, morgan no gana, we are presenting ourselves as a team to be attacked cause eventually all these players drop way to deep into the same positions and no longer look like they can kick a ball, falling over themselves. its a shame that unsy didn't see this right off the bat and start playing 4 1 3 2 with cal kev and vlasic up front, rooney or sig with benni and macca or gana or morgan as for the defence your guess is as good as mine. i think its clear unsy is not the man for the job which is a shame but he isn't coping with the big players at the club cause he is doing exactly what koeman did. there is a small change in personnel, but it's only a tweek on what koeman was doing when every fan can see we need a more radical solution. its not rocket science if someone is doing they're job poorly or having a difficult time they need dropping, its a football club. i am having a hard time believing we don't have any good defenders in our under 23 side that won prem 2 last year, surely a player who wins things and is hungry for a chance has to be better than what we put out. like i say shame unsy never got the point maybe we could be the first club of a reality tv show . the "ramsey esque" premier club nightmare where alex ferguson can go round clubs and watch games and they say "yeh you have problems. mainly your just sh*t. all joking aside things aren't as dire as they appear we need a manager who doesn't care what the under 23's are doing and wants to take them players from there and use them in the first team squad and one who watches games and can see what we all see and hopefully brings in the right players cause cal vlsaic and kev will be better off when we can defend and push out a bit.

you see spurs have been linked with 2 barkley-esque players this week alone would love to be a fly on the wall at his contract offer. thing is it will be a clear message to ross that any idea of a big contract is clearly gone. there is no definitive answer to what's wrong koeman's tactics and formations are wrong the players he picks and why he picks them is a mystery. for the life of me still don't know why we bought williams, keane is suffering from having an unsettled defence, but with williams keane and jags you just can't play a back 3 against good players they're just not quick enough. the board and koeman knew we needed another defender but didn't get one. the midfield is another hotspot both gana and morgan are too similar and rooney is filling there postions as the game wears on, but neither of them push forward. we have pace and defenders coming back from injury would we be in this position if seamus and bolasie were playing probs not. we have no clear leader on the pitch this maybe due to language barriers i don't know. imo koeman has forgotten the most fundamental thing in football making 11 guys play as a team cause a team they are not currently. whole thing is a nightmare, but if koeman wants us to play high tempo football like southampton did then he is going to have to start playing a more youthful 11 cause the current 11 are a joke.
14 Sep 2017 22:10:35
koeman is a flawed tactician there can be no doubt, he plays att formations when he should be more balanced and tinkers too much when he should play to his / players strengths. more over he makes the same mistakes in formations and personal week in week out. however let's be honest he isn't telling those players go out and sit deep and just let teams attack you. (well i hope not) this is the fault of the players not having a clear leader on the pitch and not having the drive or inspiration to make things happen. we are playing formations for whatever reason that our current squad can't play. so koeman needs to address that and quick and those players need to have a word with themselves cause it is just not good enough. don't think koemans job is under threat just yet.
{Ed025's Note - the play is far too slow floats and a lot of that seems to revolve around rooney, the sideways passing, then back, then a corner for us that ends up back to our keeper its dire to watch, im not blaming it all on wayne but united played like that last season, im not looking for a scapegoat here just looking for a reason why we are so poor mate..
08 Sep 2017 12:43:20
a contract is both ways, he has a right to be at efc's training facitlity. whether we like it or not. i mean if barkley is playing this out as going to spurs, then he has already lowered his own player power cause he has left himself open to whatever whim levy wants to throw at him regarding a contract. it is forgone conclusion that he will never get back the player power he is giving up. cause who would take him now after what he did to chelsea and what he is about to do to efc. a players power rely's upon the value a team place upon you and your attitude towards the game and whether your an outstanding player, sadly ross has failed to see the obvious by behaving in such a way he has stripped himself of any value to his current club and to spurs, and as such has givin up willingly it must be said any power he might of once had as a player. would not be surprised if spurs no longer needed him. by no means is this guy anywhere near as good as he thinks he is, its kind of sad really. who advises these guys on how to behave, he has taken himself from a first 11 starter to a squad player for spurs at best worse is spurs have a kid who comes thru this year and then decide nah we don't want you he will be f.

who you want as your next manager defines your ambition and intention. we have to go for big names in world football to attract the best players dyche would be a good choice only if our ambition is to make the top ten or up to sixth beyond that dyche would not be able to attract the best players that you would need for a top sixth finish. same with unsy he would never be able to attract the kind of players we need to hit the heights at the top of the prem. sad but true we desperately need a squad overhaul with several of our first team squad being told your just not good enough to play. i don't see either dyche or unsy as a saviour of efc. rather more as dyche has done at burnley he would consolidate us as a prem side. beyond that like at burnley he would only be able to achieve so much, with other teams having much better players. no matter if we get dyche or not he is not the man to win us the title in the near future nor is he going to win it at burnley. so ask yourself why would we want him? its a panic button switch. we need a manager who is potentially capable of attracting big players who can get us where we need to be i don't know who that is i just know who it shouldn't be dyche or unsy.
and don't say well the reds appointed backroom people and won things cause when that worked for them they're club was high profile poss one of the best 3 teams in europe and that is what attracts good players and efc is a mile off from that. so we would be relying on unsy's or dyche's profile to get them players in.

i predict a bad season for spurs; wembley is a notoriously heavy pitch to play on with several problems reported with the playing surface, over the last couple of years add to that the atmosphere change white hart lane is a similar ground to goodison with fans used to being in they're favoured spots close to the pitch and with this gone the whole change will affect spurs' intensity on the pitch. imo no doubt by christmas they will have one or two fatigue problems from playing regular on such a large and heavy pitch and if this is with any of their key players they will be ruing the decision to move there.
29 Jun 2017 14:06:36
unless i missed something has lukaku ever said he wants to leave? i don't want to sign a new contract is no way to define his immediate future i think he will leave but would not be suprised if he has intended to stay another year all along and its poss koeman is aware of this. but like i say he probs will go cause of the links to other teams. kinda wanna see the back of him tho if i'm honest wanna see players who want to play for efc and the rom saga is defining in one way if nothing else. he wants to play elsewhere.

no-one really knows what goes on behind the scenes but from what i gather geri is lazy not so much on match day but in training (this is why he is not in koemans plans) he is like that kid we all went to school with who always back chats the teacher and when doing press-ups only moves his ass up and down this accounts for his injuries and up and down performances imo his attitude is all wrong for what koeman is all about who prefers fit strong in your face footballers who want to win everything and put the effort in to getting there he is definitely a talented footballer and has a future where ever he lands but he would have to work to hard to stay at efc and he knows it so i think he will want to leave even if his dream doesn't come true ( return to the nou camp)
