Hi ed what do you make of Koeman bringing up our net spend?

{Ed025's Note - i think he is saying he wants more players jipster..

Think it was also a reminder to fans and critics that this isn't the finished squad. a warning shot if you like to the critics. Personally, positives I took from yesterday. depth of talent in squad. Pickford looked very good to me, Keane looked very assured. especially on the one occasion when he went on a run. Sandros movement good at times, lookman changed evertons game. think Rooney will actually do well when they start to click. doesn't have legs but his brain is ahead of most. when we click there will be a lot of teams who will crumble imo. oh and if sigurdson does what benega did yesterday. then no reason Everton can't compete.

With over inflated prices, Wilfred Bony at £13 Million looks a bargain, not had the best of runs at City but for that price. I am surprised we are not taking a punt on the player.

07 Aug 2017 16:44:46
Or we could always offer him to Swansea after we buy him and ask for £20 Million and shaft them back.

I found it funny watching the Bt pundits predict top 4 earlier, I mean come on how anyone can predict that this year is just guessing sure you can predict but don't start telling reasons why as it's nonsense, anyone see Gerrard shake his head when Hoddle said Everton could break top 6.
I will say one thing Liverpool will loose coutinho very soon and he will be bigger loss than Lukaku will be for us, he makes that team, Gerrard is like every other Liverpool fan at the moment, they don't like the fact we have some power now on and off the field, and he won't like seeing the river Mersey lit up blue, maybe Liverpool can move into goodison they like having our old grounds apparently.

To be honest Metz we are missing lukaku so bad he might of not looked he done much but watching those games we are missing what he done. He helped the whole team by just being there defenders were drawn to him and scared to leave his side and that opened up all kinds of space for the whole team.

Agree2 Disagree3

06 Aug 2017 21:43:06
I know we miss his goals, but we were 1 dimensional when we had Lukaku and to say he made space for others is ridiculous, bottom line was our play revolved around him and if it did not work, we lost or drew simple as that, don't get me wrong anyone will miss a player that scores 20+ goals a season but I bet you any money our 2nd top scorer will get more than 6 like last season, I bet you any money this team scored more goals than last season that's prem goals by the way.

The whole "Derby are looking to make a decision if they want Lookman on loan" Who the hell are Derby. They get him if we suggest it to them. Bloody Derby weighing up there options. He'd be their best player. Like they have any power or dominance over us. The cheek of it.

Believable4 Unbelievable3

06 Aug 2017 22:26:05
For me lookman is going to be a top top player. We need to utilize him this season and give him an opportunity to develop playing for us, not anywhere else.

Agree3 Disagree0

{Ed025's Note - i totally agree j..

06 Aug 2017 19:31:21
Ed25 interested to hear your take on what we need to bring in. Gylfi will provide something but not pace, Giroud similarly. Can you see us breaking top six if we fail to bring in someone who can terrorise defences with pace?

Believable1 Unbelievable0

{Ed025's Note - if lookman is retained and with bolasie coming back the yes we can compete but a lot of excitement will be lost if we dont have pace mate..

06 Aug 2017 19:15:55
Hi Ed 025 surely we can't let Lookman go either on loan or permanent I hope this is just another load of rubbish from the rags, he was superb when he came on, he has so much pace and was unlucky not to have scored today, also Jordan was outstanding, the team is starting to gel and maybe with two or three more in b4 the transfer window shuts we will be a force to be reckoned with cheers, GuernseyBlue.

Believable1 Unbelievable0

{Ed025's Note - i will be gutted if lookman was not part of the plan GB, im a koeman fan but that would be a huge faux pas imo mate..

06 Aug 2017 19:56:30
Ditto mate, GuernseyBlue.

Agree0 Disagree0

06 Aug 2017 18:02:29
Don't know why you didn't post my last comment ed but I'd like to reiterate again we can't let lookman go and can you answer my question on weather we are looking to loan him out or not? He's the only player we have with snit of pace!

Believable2 Unbelievable0

{Ed025's Note - i never seen your post dunc, i will be very disappointed if ademla goes as hes the only one with real pace, nothing official on him going yet mate..

06 Aug 2017 17:04:24
That was a little worrying.
Surely got to play Kenny and Lookman down the right side, both have pace to burn.

Believable4 Unbelievable2

06 Aug 2017 17:30:43
Defo kenny bit worried about rumour he may go out on loan, would be a massive mistake imo.

Agree3 Disagree0

06 Aug 2017 17:13:13
Pre season or not they were miles ahead of us. That's no disgrace only 3 or 4 are on their level in the premier league. They were class. Good to see us keeping our poo together and fighting.
Shows what pace can do as lookman changed the dynamic of the game. Keane and Pickford are excellent signings. Sandro will be in Colemans range of bargain buys. The one that has yet to show me anything much is Klassen but I'm sure that will change.

Believable3 Unbelievable0

06 Aug 2017 17:24:00
Svenny Klassen is class. The one that has to show me is Rooney I am afraid. Got a feeling he is here for the commercial value, to remiburse some of Mr Moshri's layout.

Agree2 Disagree3

06 Aug 2017 17:37:21
Got to agree with the rooney verdict but early days yet, let's hope he finds his mojo and fits in somewere that
suits him in his latter years.

Agree0 Disagree0

06 Aug 2017 17:56:53
It took Christian Erikkson a season to adapt to the Premier League and look at him now, think it may take Klassen time to adapt too, he has the ability and vision to be a great player we just have to be patient.

Agree1 Disagree0

06 Aug 2017 16:53:13
The problem with coco was he is a LB John joe looks good lookman is not going nowhere will be sad if mo besic goes could of won today gg.

Believable1 Unbelievable0

06 Aug 2017 16:44:24
Screw Sigurdsson and F Swansea. We need some pace up front in center and wings. If they hold out for 50 we move on.

Believable4 Unbelievable6

06 Aug 2017 16:37:13
Lookman looks good hope he stays, GuernseyBlue.

Believable5 Unbelievable0

06 Aug 2017 16:54:24
Agree. Actually think him and Kenny on the right carry a much bigger threat than any other combination I have seen.
On another note getting a little worried about Klassens form at the moment. Lad just isn't getting in to the game, looks a little lost.

Agree1 Disagree1

06 Aug 2017 19:42:04
Klaassen's form? In the 2 competitive games we've had, he was man of the match in the first game and played a great assist in the second. Don't get too worried about form yet mate.

Agree1 Disagree0

06 Aug 2017 22:38:29
Man of the match? Don't think so matey.

Agree0 Disagree0

06 Aug 2017 16:19:06
Banega absolutely ran the show today. What a player he is.

On another note, Tom Davies has bags of potential but needs to work on his first touch.

Watched him last season and thought the same thing then, doesn't look like its been improved over the summer, judging by today.

Koeman has come out and said we need 3 more signings. I think we need at least 5.

Believable0 Unbelievable3

06 Aug 2017 16:34:26
Pickford was excellent, GuernseyBlue.

Agree2 Disagree0

06 Aug 2017 18:37:01
Pickford will be our player of the season. Fact.

Agree1 Disagree0

06 Aug 2017 20:48:53
I hope he is not, because if he is it means he has had lots to do like last season, he made more saves than anyone else last season and that's a stat I'm sure he and us don't want.

Agree0 Disagree0

06 Aug 2017 16:09:56
Don't anybody say Jordan Pickford isn't worth what we paid for him, brilliant goalkeeper, GuernseyBlue.

Wish we would go for mata and martial 65 mill would get both.

I like the look of today's starting line up.

Believable5 Unbelievable1

06 Aug 2017 14:00:14
You'd like to think we have a better chance signing Giroud than Welbeck considering Welbeck is starting ahead of him in the community shield. I hope so anyway!

Believable2 Unbelievable1

06 Aug 2017 14:17:39
I would sooner have a fit Welbeck than Giroud due to his pace. I think our team badly needs pace. Also he can play on the wing as well.

Agree1 Disagree2

06 Aug 2017 15:50:27
Isn't wellbeck a bit too similar to Calvert Lewin. I'd rather have a target man like Giroud.

Agree1 Disagree0

06 Aug 2017 15:46:48
I agree we need pace but we need a target man more in my opinion. Lookman is fast he should be given more of an opportunity really.

Agree1 Disagree0

{Ed025's Note - i agree j..

06 Aug 2017 18:27:11
Why not go for both of them! Ideal.

Agree0 Disagree0

06 Aug 2017 22:27:59
Lookman does look promising does he ed.

{Ed025's Note - im a massive fan mate..

06 Aug 2017 13:38:46
Signing Wellbeck for 30m is like going to lidl and paying M&S prices. Yes I know its not my money, I know the market is silly but this would be a monstrosity. Now the money is ludicrous, but I wouldn't even take him for free, he is certainly not the answer as he is only good enough as a sqaud player and even that would present a risk through his injury record. Imagine this. replacing lukaku with danny Welbeck? Danny bloody welbeck! Hope this is paper talk for the hope of our season as it is vital we get the right number 9 in, more so than sig. Giroud would be a dream signing for me atm.

Believable1 Unbelievable1

06 Aug 2017 13:38:36
Wellbeck and Lacazette starting for Arsenal and Giroud on the bench. Surely he can't spend another season like that. Come and join the EFC revolution.

06 Aug 2017 09:42:44
We drop our asking fee to 35mill for barklay . that's not rumour its a fact . what's peoples thoughts on Wellbeck rumours . i'd be happy myself.

Believable1 Unbelievable2

{Ed025's Note - i have always liked danny mick, very underrated for me mate..

06 Aug 2017 11:25:59
Good player and would fit in well with this bunch of players and Koemans style.

Agree1 Disagree1

06 Aug 2017 12:38:39
I would take wellbeck in a heartbeat Kidda. 35 mill for Barkley that's about 34mill to much for Ebeneezer Levy.

Agree0 Disagree0

06 Aug 2017 06:57:32
Just a thought and I may be way off beam here but if you remember Wayne's post signing interview he mentioned when Koeman said he rated him highly etc, now that was ages ago maybe mid April or earlier and Wayne said to his agent make it happen. Now that is when I presume all the negotiations started and agreements were made. Yet it seemed to happen really quick when the window opened yet had probably been in the making for months. So even when the player and both teams are up for the deal it takes a while yet if organised outside the window can seem quite quick as soon as the window is open. So maybe in real terms Gylfi isn't taking that long bearing in mind Swansea didn't want to sell it's just it seems longer being played out in the media and since the window opened .
Anyway just a thought .
Big C.

Won't be happy one bit if lookman goes out on loan, sure we spent around 12m on him am I right? he looks quality.

Believable2 Unbelievable0

{Ed002's Note - I agree, but you can't keep adding and expaect their not to be be a knock on effect man.}

06 Aug 2017 23:15:07
That is true ED but we haven't really added anyone in his position so not sure it applies to Ade.
