rodders0223 Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 Never relegated from the PL, regular top 10 finishes, 28m striker up front, play in Europe semi regularily. Heart bleeds for them, what with all the Billionaire's just waiting to spunk their money on a football club. Delusional. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimzk5 Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 Yep, heard a few Everton fans on call Collymore a few days ago and they were playing the "we dont spend any money" card again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 They overspent on Lukaku really, could well get 30m for Stones so might have a good last few minute buys. Excellent win today but still not sure how strong they'll be this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyblade Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 They're one of the best run clubs in the league though??? Seriously some football fans just can't be pleased. I wonder how they'd react if they were Sunderland fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Excellent win today but still not sure how strong they'll be this season. It really was the Lukaku show today. He looked like he was worth every penny today, but I'm not sure how many games he'll have like that in a season. I really don't want them to cash in on Stones as I think that sort of money could be put to good use up there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theboyangel Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 i dont know what it is about Martinez but i find him really annoying ! I don't think the continuous bleating by Dave 'I broke my leg in the FA Cup' Whelan about RM being one of the best managers in the league helped. I don't mind RM but he isn't all he's cracked up to be. I think he can set his team up to retain possession well but defensively he's naive.

CarewsEyebrowDesigner Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 They defended fairly well yesterday, and didn't really play keep-ball. Martinez may actually be adapting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 Idiot footballer of the day goes to Everton and Republic of Ireland star Darron Gibson has been charged in connection with an alleged hit-and-run crash with a cyclist. The midfielder, 27, was detained on Sunday after police received reports a cyclist had been struck by a car which then hit a pump at a petrol station. Mr Gibson is accused of driving with excess alcohol, after the crashes in Altrincham, Greater Manchester. He is due before Trafford Magistrates' Court on 1 September. A Greater Manchester Police spokesman said the cyclist was unhurt. It was alleged that Darron Gibson was over the limit when his car hit a cyclist and a petrol pumpIt is alleged he was behind the wheel of his black Nissan Skyline GT-R Nismo car when the crashes happened close to his home. Greater Manchester Police said Mr Gibson was charged with driving without due care and attention, driving with excess alcohol and failing to stop after a road traffic collision. "This is in relation to an incident on Sunday August 16 where police were called to reports that a car had collided with a cyclist on Park Road, Trafford, and failed to stop before pulling into a petrol station on nearby Dunham Road and colliding with a pump," a spokesman said. Londonderry-born Gibson began his career at Manchester United before joining Everton in 2012 for a fee of about £1m. He is currently recovering from a groin injury.

BOF Posted September 2, 2015 Moderator Share Posted September 2, 2015 Let's have an Everton discussion. They keep popping up in other threads like the Spurs thread and the Where we'll finish thread. I think they're ahead of us. I think they've strengthened in the summer and I think they've successfully held on to a player that was sought out by a top 4 side. Looking through their squad, they may be a bit light up front if Lukaku gets injured (although not if he doesn't ...) but their squad is very strong defensively. Not just the defenders themselves but the protection they get in midfield. Unspectacular maybe, but very solid and will comfortably be midtable. Lennon is a good addition too and should reshuffle their midfield personnel to their benefit. I have a bet on with a Toffee who thinks they'll finish top 8. I can't see that happening (which is why I took the bet) although it's not impossible. Just highly unlikely. Thunks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarewsEyebrowDesigner Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 Their first XI is Top 6 material but they're always a few injuries away from being mid-table fodder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted September 2, 2015 Moderator Share Posted September 2, 2015 They're loaded in midfield. Barry's legs might be going, but they also have McCarthy, Barkley, Cleverley, Mirallas, Deulofeu, Osman, Pienaar, Lennon & Besic. I don't particularly rate Gibson, McGeady or Oviedo (unless he's playing at leftback) but they've got them too. And their first choice defence is one of the best in the league. You're right CED that they do need luck with injuries because scratch the surface of their attack or defence and there's not much there, but you'll never get an easy game off them, that's for sure.

He's got an FA cup in his cupboard that's argues against you. I think it's too early to be saying he not all he's cracked up to be. One good season and one bad/indifferent season at Everton and they appear to be inline for a good one this year. If he was English... but I shouldn't go there as it may attract some Daily Mail "readers" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimzk5 Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 As a club I don't have a problem with them both the same size, similar trophy cabinet and attendances but it boils my piss when you hear them whine about not spending money and the media banging on about how they over achieve because they don't spend much.
