Hopefully that changes with a stronger squad. We must be due more favourable draws in the early rounds too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This!! Our last 3 draws, all early rounds have been Liverpool, Chelsea and Man Utd. What are the odds of that even happening given the volume of teams in those draws. Chelsea’s entire run to the FA cup semi (where they met Palace) was all lower league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomaszk Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 Very surprised if we chose Diego Carlos over him. There's loads more risk attached to Carlos. If they both joined, they'd be starting together. I think the next few years for Everton is battling to get out the bottom half. I don't think that's the likely scenario for us. Thought he'd be bored of bottom half relegation battles by now.

If we do bring in Tarkowski one of them has to go and if they can get 35 million for Mings thats good business. No way, Konsa is nowhere near international level. Unfortunately he got injured, otherwise we would've sold him for sure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were all calling for him to get in the England squad last season and Gerrard has said he likes him and wouldn’t consider selling. Think Carlos is going to start, with Konsas lengthy layoff and then they’ll be direct competition, along with Mings. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

United in 3rd round of FA cup in 2002, 04 and 07. Higher statistical improbability than Leicester winning the league. Chelsea get ridiculously easy FA cup draws every single season in last decade. Main thing is to get mostly home draws as if you study our two runs to cup finals in last 7 years we played pretty much every tie at VP. Blackpool, Bournemouth, Leicester and West Brom was our home run in 2015. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess it's a case of staying in North west so easier commute given loads in the MON era were coming in from Cheshire plus think Everton are more desperate to get him so will probably offer higher wage. Leicester could really do with Tarkowski so they could be late interest from them here unless they've already found another european CB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We needed a ball playing CB who could partner Mings and we signed one. I can't see what use Tarkowski would be now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 Move to OT he's having a medical at Everton Last rumour I saw was 5 year deal at £120k a week Better than what they have but that's a proper Everton signing 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he will be a good signing for Everton. Tarkowski was not needed by us though, as I rate Mings as a better player for our requirements.

Villatillidie95 Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 I think he would have been decent for us but in truth everton need him more than us and i'm looking forward to seeing the Carlos and Mings partnership 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
