How embarrassing that this Everton have taken 6 pts off us, dumped us out the cup, had 8 PTS deducted and are still out of sight

You could use that extra £2mil add it to the £15mil for the rumoured/reported £15mil tresor obligation throw in a extra mil you have adam Wharton who's already looking double more than palace shelled out. It's insane recruitment.

It gets worse the more we think about it

Bit good that lad

Chelsea 1 Everton 0

Southgate will take Rashford before him though

bumba

It will probably feature on 'Ref Watch' on Sky Sports News @ 11:30. I think the panel and Dermot Gallagher will agree it should have been given. Gallagher and Sue something said definitely a penalty and he was very lucky, Warnock said there's a case the defender stepped across his man shielding the...

Benson and Zaroury signed 5 year deals so I guess that’s our choice. I think a lot of the fan speculation about deep rooted unhappiness is wide of the mark and more a side effect of us as a fanbase only being used to having a strong 11 and weaker bench in recent years. I’m sure both will be fine to...

We’d absolutely walk the division with: Muric/Trafford Sambo Beyer Esteve Roberts Cullen Berge Koleosho Amdouni Odobert Whittaker VK needs to figure out our future number 1 and sell the other. You can even put Vitinho left back if Roberts goes. Anass if Odobert leaves. Everybody else for me can go,...

Also saw some other comments about his total lack of fitness when he arrived which tallies up with what we are seeing from a lot of our team at the moment

Our fitness as a team currently seems atrocious, we have a decent first 45 then look completely shot in the second half every game

bumba

I’ve heard about this lad but every time I’ve watched him (which isn’t often, I admit) he neither scores or looks particularly good. The Leicester game being an example where I thought he looked pretty poor against decent opposition. I wouldn’t be swapping Zaroury or Benson for him anyway - not tha...

bumba

We even forget the likes of Ramsey, who will be a huge player for us next season and probably going forward, his career here hasn’t got off to a great start which has falsely led fans to believe hes a poor signing and not good enough for the PL, hes a kid with huge potential and has shown he’s a st...

bumba

Another vote for Morgan Whittaker, big strong quick nice left foot, can play through the middle or off the right, looks to be similar to Watkins. I think he’ll be a very good PL forward in a few years. Would love Whittaker but think we'd struggle unless we made a lot of money from the fire sale but...

Tella
Harwood-Bellis = £40 million

Trafford
Ramsey
O'Shea = £42 million

Let that sink in

if we had last seasons team, in the championship now - we would be miles clear of Leicester and Leeds

That wasn't my point, my point was the team now isn't as good as our team last season.

bumba

Definitely stays in, two costly indefensible errors but his return to the team has put us on the best run of form this season plus he's made some massive saves. Anybody saying Muric has cost us premier league football is on the wind up despite these two errors they are not the reason we are going do...

The top 3 in the Championship are nowhere near the standard we set last season.

Neither are we though, that's the problem.

bumba

Isn't this the panel Howard Webb said had only given 3/4 incorrect decisions all season?

Player's like Twine, Mcnally Brownhill will be sold for little or no profit player's like Benson or Zaroury would be priced out of a move to the championship, Premier league team's won't come in so it's European club's and do they have the money to buy them they won't go cheap compared to what's ou...

bumba

The business model will be to sell for PROFIT, almost 99% aren't worth more than we bought them for, these owners won't be making massive losses on all these footballer superstars the rest of the footballing world will be chasing (sarcastic remark just incase you didn't realise it) and if you think...

All ifs buts and maybes..... Like I said fake news

The club will have put relegation clauses in to the wages, certain players will have only signed with relegation clauses to sell on their side too, that's football.

bumba

They can ask all they want but they all have long contracts the club hold all the cards, they decide if the player goes not the player The days a football club decides are long gone, if a player wants to go they will get their move. Our finances say we'll sell. The club's owners said the model is t...

Because we can't afford to keep this squad together - Says who ?? A lot want to leave - Again says who ?? A lot will ask to leave - another load of fake news Some aren't good enough - I agree but these will be out of contract and will be let go anyway like Cork, Rodriguez So you don't think players...

bumba

So who wants to leave then? Are you seriously that naive? CT has already stayed on here that Roberts was desperate to get out of the club and isn't the only one. My guess: Rodriguez Cork Muric Roberts Weghorst Obafemi Benson Zaroury Al Dakhil Ekdal(nearly went previous window) Brownhill JBG Possibl...

Why would we need a fire sale and massive clean up for the championship, this team we have now that would be playing in the championship next season is better than the one that walked it last time Because we can't afford to keep this squad together. A lot want to leave, a lot will ask to leave, som...

bumba

With another fire sale and the massive clean up from this season cock up I don't think it matters who comes down with us, we'll have done very well if we make the play offs

bumba

Ipswich v Norwich is a real possiblity this year if they can avoid each other in the semi final

bumba

City have 6 league games they'll win.
Arsenal and Liverpool will drop points.
Title race is done Man City are champions.

bumba

What could be gained from it in the contract though? I don't believe it's true. What could the options be if we fail to play him in 75% of the games..... He gets paid money? - staying up would cover the cost. His release clause to City is lower? - winner for us. He gets a release clause to go elsewh...

bumba

He thinks possession means we are playing better than the other team, the worrying thing with VK is he still hasn't figured out teams allow us possession because they know we'll make mistakes and gift them chances.
We are too weak defensively and error prone, it's easy to play against.

bumba

You’re talking about Benson having the season of his life in the Championship. You wanna moan about Amdouni being lazy? Would Benson get the same criticism? That’s the problem here, this forum is full of hypocritical agenda driven nonsense. Rodriguez can do no wrong despite doing nothing right all ...

bumba

Heard this on the radio where they was saying it was a shocker, I've now watched it and I'm not sure why they think it's so bad, it's a foul for me.

bumba

Muric 5 stupid decision at that time
Assignon 4
Taylor 5
O Shea 5 harsh red for me though
Esteve 6
Cullen 6
Berge 7
Odobert 5 carrying him at times
Bruun Larsson 5
Foster 5
Fofana 4

Vitinho 5 very strange sub
Rodriguez 5
JBG 5
Brownhill 5
Amdouni 5

bumba

Not calling for him to go but the Vitinho for Fofana sub when chasing a game we need to win was very baffling. It was calling out for Benson. Think we was unlucky with the red, McNeil was never going to reach it so it isn't denying a goalscoring opportunity and was on the halfway line. He couldn't w...

bumba

The new rules will probably mean they can let City off the hook though

bumba

Obafemi Martin.. although I’d be happy for him to be back up. I can’t see them not activating Brownhills extension is we can get a few quid for him, he’d be handy back up in the championship I just wouldn’t want him to get more than a year. Koleosho is just an educated guess, hence the word probabl...

bumba

Fingers crossed he's being sold but I imagine he was actually just ill.
We've a better young keeper as our number 1 who could be number 1 for the next 10 years or sold for much more than Trafford

bumba

The scary thing is the referee is in an excellent position with nobody blocking his view and at an angle that clearly shows him the gap between the two players, it's shocking he still gives a foul.

bumba

1 from: Muric/ Trafford 2 from: O’Shea/Esteve/Beyer/ Ekdal 2 from: Cullen/Berge/ Brownhill 1 from: Foster We can go on all day about the need to keep Koleosho, Odobert, Zaroury, Benson, etc… But wingers make you decent money and new wingers can be sourced. Keep the vast majority of this spine and w...

bumba

I can’t see us selling Odobert in the summer we’d be lucky to get 20 million, he could be worth twice if not more in a couple of years. Also Koleosho probably won’t be fit until October. I’d say it’s time to get rid of Brownhill, hopefully we can get 10m and lose his wage, we’ve desperately needed ...

At least the fans suggesting we'll retain the squad and add to it upon relegation won't have as much of a shock now when there's another fire sale in the summer...
Said it before our best chance for the clubs future was survival this year, going down will offer no guarantees

bumba

Not sure about your understanding of English. Most folk would understand what I implied...which was that some of the worlds greatest players would give the ball away at times and hence to say that Odobert isnt a high quality player for that specific reason isnt really very sensible. I hope that's h...

Annoys me when they referee the 'big games' differently and the commentators say stuff like they have to let things go it's that important the game........ no every single game should be refereed to the same standard!!!!!!

Pele, George Best, Gascoigne and Maradonna were all very capable of giving the ball away.

Only a Burnley fan could put Odobert amongst Pele, George Best, Gazza and Maradona

bumba

Great potential but that's it at the moment, first 10 minutes yesterday he was unplayable but then by half time I'd forgot he was even on the pitch. He needs to be consistent over 90 minutes then game on game before he gets anywhere near £100 million but he has bundles of ability it's up to him how ...

None of them sit on VAR but I'm sure Howard Webb said they bring ex pros in during the week to discuss decisions with referees but that they'd not got many wrong, sounds like bull to me they get loads wrong. It was never a penalty yesterday let alone a second yellow he couldn't wait to give the pena...

bumba

We need to use this now in every game. That referee should be seriously looked at for that first half performance, it was a disgrace

bumba

Like i've said all year though (and got pelters for it) anyone can do that, signing young players en masse... it's about having a balance and not trying to fix something that isn't broken. The fact remains that a staggering % of our summer expenditure have arguably weakened the team when they have ...

bumba

It's annoying because for me it's been obvious af all season. The difference in ability is so obvious. The entire team looks completely different. Mental if you can't see it in all honesty. Couldn't agree more and when Muric only cost 3/4 million the profit is right there, the profit if any we make...

bumba

Up there with Barnes as one of my favourite players of recent times just for what he gives, not the best ability wise but gives his all every game

bumba

The thing that's stood out most for me is how everybody said Trafford shot stopping was miles ahead, personally I never saw it and since Murics come back in his has been outstanding
