Really pleased with Pickford and Klaassen and its good to see us getting our first choice targets.
Not sure about Niang. He will of course get my full support if he signs, but a goal ratio of one every 5.5 games is a concern.
{Ed002's Note - You are right there SB.}
1.) 15 Jun 2017 20:46:00
Would you say Niang is going to be signed as a striker ed if we were to get him?
{Ed002's Note - He would be an odd choice as a striker - perhaps as a wider player it would make sense.}
2.) 15 Jun 2017 20:57:11
Probably a replacement for Del Boy.
3.) 15 Jun 2017 21:01:45
Doesn't make any sense to me Ed he has never scored more than 5 goals in a season
I keep saying it out load and it doesn't get any better 😂.
{Ed002's Note - Interest goes back to Martinez.}

Del boy is twice the player niang is I'm baffled by this potential signing.

So Keane struggled against Ironside. For people of a certain age that's about right.
{Ed025's Note - love it SB..

You’d have to be a detective to work that one out….
24 Aug 2024 18:26:41
Think I said this either last season or the season before. Sell a couple of fringe players and pay him off with the proceeds.
22 Aug 2024 21:37:39
See Dyche has got his excuses in early with the "Only 14 fit players" line. Doesn't wash with me.
{Ed025's Note - excuses being made for the inevitable defeat if you ask me SB..
1.) 22 Aug 2024 22:38:48
Most of the managers do it tbf, if it’s not injuries it’s refs or kick off times. I don’t think Dyche comes off that well in press conferences overall, tones of Big Sam, but he is in a difficult situation with the takeover and points deductions. Just feels like we need a fresh approach with the new stadium on the horizon. Can’t take our current dross there, seen more than enough over the past few years.
2.) 22 Aug 2024 23:42:26
Sky bet predicting a 2-1 win for Everton.
3.) 22 Aug 2024 23:48:02
Back in the 70s when you won leagues, domestic cups, and european cups with 13 players, 14 would have been seen as a luxury.
4.) 23 Aug 2024 00:13:05
My point exactly Ed. Subtlety is not exactly a strong point of Mr Dyche. I'm assuming by 14 fit players that he means 14 fit players with Premier League experience, not including new recruits or anyone emanating from our U21's. Unfortunately the optimism of an entire fan base was well and truly put to bed an hour before kick off when he announced his first team sheet. I have a feeling it's going to be a long hard season if he remains in situ.
{Ed025's Note - it really does SB, i know its not easy for him but he is so stubborn, half our team are just not good enough for me mate and are just cruising along and enjoying the pay days, its just so frustrating..
5.) 23 Aug 2024 08:27:57
Need another Alan Harper, lad could do a job anywhere on the pitch. Wouldn’t need anymore subs then :)
6.) 23 Aug 2024 16:02:47
Hope idrissa knows we are the team wearing blue tomorrow and passes the ball accordingly. ???.
15 Apr 2024 21:37:06
Glad Moshiri's there. He can be useful for once and get shut of Dyche and his coaching staff. Sell a player to cover the cost at the end of the season, otherwise I fear the worst. He has definitely lost the players and the fanbase. Get someone in quick to give the club the fans and the players a lift until the end of the season.
1.) 15 Apr 2024 21:58:27
A new manager bounce would be good going into the crucial games against those around us.
Don’t see it happening though. We are in enough financial difficulties without paying off more people.
2.) 15 Apr 2024 22:07:51
We’d lose an awful lot more by getting relegated.
3.) 15 Apr 2024 22:07:58
What would we prefer, another pay off to a useless manager causing more debt to get the new manager bounce, or the astronomical costs and loss of revenue dropping to the Championship? Should have binned him before he put pen to paper.
4.) 15 Apr 2024 22:21:06
Think you’ve already given us the answer Nick.
5.) 15 Apr 2024 22:35:14
Unfortunately we don’t have the money to pay him off, if so he would of been long gone.
6.) 15 Apr 2024 22:40:26
Well I said it before when I was under the knife but I meant it then and I mean it now. Not watching another Everton game this season. Off to PNE.
31 Mar 2024 12:03:48
Think I'd be having a quiet word with Lee Carsley. He knows the club and the fanbase and understands what we stand for.
1.) 31 Mar 2024 16:48:24
Who's in charge of the club at the moment doing the hiring and firing? ¿.
2.) 31 Mar 2024 19:11:34
Premier League I think?.

We also had a former player as a manager who won our last trophy.
17 Jun 2023 20:24:39
Would be almost guaranteed a game with TNS.
30 Jul 2021 16:45:56
Fair point Ed and I appreciate that every team has one, but we seem to have had more Turkeys than Bernard Mathews.
30 Jul 2021 16:25:42
I've been hoping that I've been wrong about Iwobi since the day it was rumoured we where signing him. Never rated him at Arsenal where he was given numerous opportunities, but really wanted him to prove me wrong, but it's never going to happen. We've just signed 2 players who are better than him for a combined fee of £1.6m. He recently played for Nigeria as number 10 and got absolutely slaughtered by their supporters and press. Again I would love to be proven wrong and will support every player who wears the shirt. I just hope that he's not going to be another high earner that we can't get rid of until his contract expires.
{Ed0666's Note - Iwobi is you’re Keita. Every club has them mate.
30 Jul 2021 14:30:05
Surely can't be as bad a signing as Iwobi. His fitness isn't a problem, he just can't play football! I still hope that he was Silva's choice and not Brands. Can't see how we're going to get rid of him. We would obviously have to take a massive hit on him, but I still can't see any takers.

We're a Burnley clone. It's the managers level. The job and the club is just too big for him.
24 Aug 2024 16:12:35
Think six games is 4 games too many.

We can live in hope. Unfortunately according to our esteemed leader they would need to have Premier League experience to get anywhere near the team sheet.
19 Aug 2024 09:59:20
Unfortunately Ed we've signed a couple of decent creative players that are better than anything else in our squad, but this clown doesn't deem them ready for the Premier League.
I really do despair. Sooner he's gone the better.
{Ed025's Note - he prefers grafters and the old guard instead of young creative flair SB, if he cant improve us with the better quality that has been bought then he will have to go mate...simple as that..
