Haha
"Support the team support the club you melts! Except in January......and between July and September.......after that, cunt everyone off!!!! We´re shit!!"
“Bossing”
Even nkoudou playing alongside messi and luis Suarez would boss it.
That was funny. Not actually true but funny. I’ll give you that.
I should probably use it but leave everyone on just in case they say something good.
Shame is though I pretty much just scroll straight past certain posters now and don't bother reading them as I know its just the same arguments back and forth.
Saha and Nielsen flashbacks with requiem for a dream theme music on the background.
Doesn't mean he'll be shit for us
If true, I can't see that Everton have a leg to stand on. Yes might be immoral from Chelsea but its what any other club would have done.
If Koeman hadn't priced him so high last summer (when in his last year and injured) then they may have got more for him then. I know Chelsea were going to pay it before Barkley said no )for whatever reason) but if it had been more realistic then they may have felt they should get it done there and then.
Can't believe I am defending Chelseaochfacepalm:
What Everton should have done was added costs of rehab training, physiotherapy and medical bills (as well as his salary) onto the offer for Barkley's sale.
Common 101 fucking sense, Levy would have has all these fucking angles covered had he been a Spurs players.
indeed. We're at a tricky point. We need quality and not punts but we don't have the cash yet to buy so called 'proven players'... A player that has shown previous quality but hasn't worked at his latest club shouldn't be ignored. Personally know nothing about him though
I don't see the equivalence between being dissappointed with the club's transfer activity and not supporting the team
Recall onomah, he can play at Newport and worse case we arrange a PL loan afterwards.
Get it done! Gives time for Danny Rose to play himself back into form and raise his valuation back to £50m will still be disappointed if he leaves. Suspect he wants to go the Walker route though.
Your anti-Lamela agenda is hilarious, you're clearly obsessed by him!
I believe you said it would be highly unlikely that we ever saw him in a Spurs shirt again. Whether or not you or i think Lamela is of benefit to the team, Poch clearly has stood by him.

Those were his exact words. We'll never see him again in a spurs shirt.
Okay, well, he won't ever start again for Spurs.
Okay, well, he definitely won't be here after the summer.
Okay, he's signed a new contract. It's just so we can sell him for more.
It's really quite pathetic.
Problem is they had no leverage to do so. Chelsea don't care about having Barkley for the rest of this season all that much. If Everton got pushy and demanded to recoup extra expense since August, Chelsea would simply walk away and tell Ross they'll see him in June.
They've already shown that's exactly what they would do, as that's precisely what they did in the summer because they didn't want to pay the price requested. The fact that Everton settled for £15M at the beginning of the window without even talking to other clubs means that Barkley told them he was going to Chelsea now or in June on a free.
Everton had zero leverage...should probably consider themselves fortunate to get the £15m. Just another example of a poorly run club.
Vorm is the only expiring player we have before 2019, and 2019 is just Llorente and Dembele who likely won't be here and Jan who is probably getting a new deal soon. People talk about our finances and shit on Levy for the way he negotiates, etc. But where would we be if he wastes £££s here and there by being a numpty like the Everton/Liverpool/Arses of the world?
Lamela is our highest paid midfielder and his deal runs through June 2020. He hasn't received a new deal because only Lloris, Jan, Kane, and Son are on higher wages - and only just. Most of our players have received new deals because they were extended for contract length (leverage) sake or to bring their wages up in steps equal to their production.
Lamela got all of that on the front end with a 7 year £4M+ per year salary the day he signed. There's simply no reason to do a new deal for him, there's no way Levy would sanction making Lamela our highest earner while he struggled for fitness.
TL;DR - You don't have a fucking clue what you're on about.
Well by definition demanding new players means your not happy with the team
