Bournemouth....worthy of a separate thread perhaps...but how on earth do they do it ? 2nd in the Prem with attendances of 11,000. Im afraid im well out of touch with how football is financed these days. Doesn’t Fairplay rules or whatever it's called prevent you from spending more than a certain per...

Shambles that. It's like they had an extra man - Flemming and Broja marking no one in the middle being completely ineffective without the ball, letting them overload us else where.

The quality of players we had on that pitch we should have won, simple.

Ptgclaret

Will we see Flemming playing in his favoured #10 being Broja?

Tara in Rosegrove do a great kebab.

For a daytime treat, Mansha on Colne Road do a wonderful one.

Ptgclaret

Fair play to him.

Can't imagine many people here would turn down the opportunity to double their salary with a huge sign up bonus, that would provide financial stability to their family for generations

I have noticed how "on trend" it is to have such open ended questions as thread titles instead of the actual topic of the thread.

I always thought Cornet was going to have a much more successful time at West Ham. Shame about them injuries.

Given that JB's Burnley contract ended at the end of June, he's already circa £500k down on his earnings this year having effectively unemployed for July and August.

How much were we paying him?

Ptgclaret

Has Ramsey been confirmed? Not seen anything official.

We have Cullen, Lesley, Florentino, Hannibal and Laurent. How is that short?

While it's not short in numbers, it seems short in creativity.

Hope to be proven wrong though. UTC.

I still think Sergeant would make us better, but unlikely we'd be in for him after getting Broja.

Ptgclaret

Some strike force that. Ekitike looks great already.

Ptgclaret

The last of those 14 prem appearances was when? 18 months ago? He’s has an awful injury and there are no guarantees he is the same player. That wonderful season in the championship is even longer ago. He had a good game against the second string of a team that sits 21st in the championship. The pla...

Is Ramsay the latest player to have got better and better the less he plays? There’s a talented player in there and he needs game time, but realistically is that with us? Is that a luxury we can afford? A loan deal where he’s a guaranteed starter seems eminently sensible. He made 14 appearances in ...

Ramsay should stay. Played very well against Derby the full 90 mins, and on bench in the league.

Should have put him into the #10 against United rather than whoever was floating in that area after Hannibal went off.

We're not blessed with creativity, can't just use defensive midfielders to win.

Ptgclaret

Shouldn't be letting Ramsay go anywhere - he played really well for the full game against Derby and is now on the bench.

Letting him go out on loan and then having to try reintegrate him into the squad might not be the best decision.

Best option for right wing is Tchaouma and Hannibal a sub when legs are tiring

I don't think Tchaouna offers the defensive work that Hannibal does. I think we'd really miss his work rate.

Mersons just said on Sky it should have been 6 or 7 to united, he's a complete bell end

Amad missed an open goal, Sesko should have scored the header. I'm sure Sesko had another golden chance too. Deffinatelly could have scored more (but could've should've etc)

Dubravka 8
Walker 7
Ekdal 7
Esteve 7
Hartmann 6
Bruun Larsen 5 (deffinatelt more impact from the bench)

This one is interesting. It's clear cut, not offside. The hands and arms of all players, including the goalkeepers, are not considered. For the purposes of determining offside, the upper boundary of the arm is in line with the bottom of the armpit. https://www.thefa.com/football-rules-governance/la...

Hope to see Ramsay. Perhaps for Hannibal

Whilst the Benfica fans don't seem upset at all about Luis leaving, he could be a player that really fits our position right now. Seems to absolutely excel defensively, and I imagine we're going to be on the defense more than not this year. "Benfica fan here. Liability with the ball in his feet, goo...

Been paying particular attention to Tresor - his positioning is very good. He's constantly dropping into the space you want a #10 to be.

Would be nice to see flemming playing in what we're told is his natural/preferred position

Ptgclaret

I thought he played very well for them today against a better team. He'll be important for them this season and will only grow into the team.

Ptgclaret

Was brilliant today and can hopefully carry that form onwards. Thought he and Ugochukwu played well as a pair.

Koleosho has always been more about the potential than the current ability. He's a long way off being a starter these days in our team. I have zero doubt he'll do well in Spain - Anthony looked Messi-esque during his loan over there last season. I think best we hope for is he does really well and ad...

All part of the circus, I don't see a problem. He signed a big contract to play for a club. He is, however, still of free will. So if he decides not to play and breaks the contract, will be fined accordingly. Anthony Gordon refused to return to training at Everton to force his move through, same wit...

Ptgclaret

He has an impressive injury record, so I wouldn't be expecting him to be available all the time.

If we can nurse him to full fitness and keep him that way he will be a wonderful signing.

Ptgclaret

Sonne at wing back with Kyle Walker in his ear isn't too bad I don't think.

Ptgclaret

Ramsay on the bench is good. Hopefully this is a good year for him

Ptgclaret

Is Connor Roberts injured? I'd have put him ahead of Sonne on the teamsheet.

Admittedly not seen much of Sonne, but I think he's a Parker signing so would make sense.

Ptgclaret

Great to see someone from the youth setup doing so well

Ptgclaret

Why are we pretending like we haven’t seen Ekdal and Worrall play? and comparing it to some unproven kid breaking into the 11?

Yeah let’s promote our fourth choice Championship defender and throw him straight in at PL level. I’m sure that will go well.

In fairness, what number option was Egan Riley until the start of last season?

Ptgclaret

The term “for a good while now” certainly applies more to Broja than it does Calvert-Lewin. DCL scored 7 goals and provided 2 assists for Everton in the 2023-24 season but you have to go back to 2021-22 to find any worthwhile contributions from Broja. Exactly this. Also, If DCL has 1 great season n...

150k for Calvert Lewin? It's only the same as signing a proven Premier League quality striker, (but bad injury record) on a 2 year deal for 15 million quid and no wages. 150k a week with no upfront fee seems reasonable. We've just spent 20ish million, and wages on an unproven player with barely any ...

Charge more? Absolutely not.

As much as we all love Roberts, I'd have thought the current England international, who started 11 times for City last season, and made 34 appearances between them and AC Milan would be favourite to start.

Ptgclaret

Quite comical that 13 cap Scotland player Phil Bardsley is being used to compare a 96 cap current England international.

Ptgclaret

We could sign Hakimi and people would find fault. He's at the very least on a level with Roberts. More likely a step above. He strengthens the squad and adds bags of experience to a team that will be fighting relegation. The very little we saw of Sonne would suggest he's not a preferred option right...

Ptgclaret

I think most would happily give him their best wishes if he went for 50 million.

Great player for us, with a much higher ceiling. I personally look forward to seeing how he does at the top level - but would be delighted if he stayed.
