    Everton. They've won their first two having scored 5 and conceded 0.

    If this deal looks like it's going to drag on too long, I think we should set a deadline to pull out. We can't really afford the deal to fall through with no time left to sort an alternative.
  3. Greenfly
    And Lescott, surely.

    I'm still not sure how I feel about this personally based on what little information I've seen, but I agree with the sentiment that we shouldn't be so negative without him having even signed. Can we all just promise that if he does sign, we'll actually back him and give him a chance? Vocally writing someone off too fast is the worst thing you can do for their confidence.

    I'm up for work at 3AM, and you can bet I'll be straight on Twitter for the updates.

    Hnnngh

    I'm wracking my brains trying to figure out what this guy offers that Trez doesn't. The idea is to trade up, not sideways.
  8. Greenfly
    Holy moly. How on earth did he stop that dead? I'm starting to get hyped about this now.
  9. Greenfly
    This is all great to hear. His lack of game time is a concern to us, but this all sounds very promising.

    That's music to my ears. We've had bad luck with keepers who just love to punch or slap the ball rather than catch it. What's his distribution like?

    It's too early to say that yet, but it's not looking good. I don't understand why they let Mel Johnson leave, when she scored so many goals last season.
  12. Greenfly
    Yeah. It's practically down the road.

    Lisa Weiss has been doing better against Reading overall I think. Not much she could've done about either of the goals. Edit: it wasn't Weiss playing against City, by the way. She's a new signing.

    Looking at what we have and who were linked with now, I'm saying 12-13. I'd take 14-15 though, it would be a nice improvement. You never know of course, Watkins + Grealish could be the best combination in the history of the league for all we know.
  15. Greenfly
    Absolutely. I've watched that goal loads of times this morning. I find myself not watching Grealish's inch perfect switch, or Trez's superb cross. To me, the most interesting part of it was Watkins' movement. He spent the whole time in a clear goalscoring position, and it's crazy to think we've gone so long without somebody who does that.

    That's what I mean by "pretty" young. 28 is around the age most goalies seem to become first choice, as far as I can tell.
  17. Greenfly
    Rashica is almost everything to Bremen that Grealish is to us, except he isn't an academy product. To put it into some context, imagine if Grealish left us. That's more or less what it would be like for Bremen losing Rashica. I'm not saying that he's as good as Grealish of course, and I hesitate to call him a marquee, but I was excited by the idea the moment I heard the link. Honestly thought a team higher in the league would've snapped him up by now.

    The thing we lacked more than anything last season was someone who knew when to be in the box on the end of attacking plays. Given the choice of a poacher's instinct or a dribbler, I know which I'd prefer.
  19. Greenfly
    Bear in mind he's still pretty young for a keeper.
  20. Greenfly
    I love digging through this thread and finding gems like this.
  21. Greenfly
    Sane to Villa for 31 million. Decent.

    Heaton is an absolute monster, or best signing on this evidence. He alone will ensure our safety this season. Hourihane showing definitively why he must be around the starting 11 - defensively he's suspect, but his set pieces are game changers. It was nice to see Jimmy too. He didn't have much chance to prove himself, but he clearly offers something different to Wes. I'd say he's plenty good enough to be backup this season. All in all, if we play like this all season, we're going to be just fine.
  23. Greenfly
    Hourihane will be better as cover or a rotation option for Grealish and McGinn. He rocks in those positions, not so much as a DM.
  24. Greenfly
    Marvelous in for Hourihane and that's probably our best 11.
  25. Greenfly
    I think they're struggling with his medical because he keeps slide tackling the doctors when they try to check him over.
