The Echo and Romano are saying everything agreed on Danjuma but that it is a straight loan = NO buy option

Can any of the EDs explain what we will have to do, if anything, with Coady or Vinagre so that he can play?

Many thanks.

bw2412 v2.0

{Ed002's Note - Buy Coady or liaise with Sporting to buy out the remainder of RVs loan and send him back.}


1.) 21 Jan 2023 11:27:46
Vinagre is a strange one, does anyone know who brought him in?


2.) 21 Jan 2023 11:29:55
Doesn't matter now.


3.) 21 Jan 2023 11:28:14
Thanks Ed

Do you know if we have started doing anything on either?

{Ed002's Note - Lampard wants to sign Coady.}


4.) 21 Jan 2023 11:52:22
Was there a fee agreed to buy Coady at the end of this season and if so how much

Can we pay Vinagre his wages from here until end of season but exclude him from squad list and effectively therefore terminate his loan or do Sporting have to give their OK or else it's invalid.


5.) 21 Jan 2023 12:53:03
ED02 didn't you mention Coadyvis reluctant until he's confident we won't get Relegated so I can't see him agreeing to a permanent transfer just yet.

{Ed002's Note - Yes.{}


6.) 21 Jan 2023 17:09:30
Well then tell him to do one. We really wouldn’t miss him.


 

 

10 Feb 2022 02:38:48
A bit left field this but do the Eds or any of the posters know what the current situation is with Sigurdsson?

bw2412 v2.0

{Ed002's Note - Sigurdsson will leave in the summer.}


1.) 10 Feb 2022 20:57:41
Will not be missed.


2.) 11 Feb 2022 03:28:23
I agree Woburn but I was wondering when the police will make a decision whether to prosecute or not, Whether we managed to negotiate a reduced salary while he can't play for us and is suspended and whether there are factors we need to consider at the end of his contract

At the end of the day he is still innocent in the eyes of the law but he and us are suffering until it is resolved.


3.) 11 Feb 2022 12:24:47
Well as the police are involved bw I am sure it won’t be done anytime soon.
I wonder if they sent the club a “sorry for your loss” letter. ?.


4.) 11 Feb 2022 16:42:48
"He and us that are suffering"

Seriously? He and us are far from the victim.


5.) 11 Feb 2022 19:08:06
I think he has been bailed until April, BW, I'd expect him to be either charged or exonerated at that point. Be crazy to extend his bail yet again.


6.) 11 Feb 2022 19:17:13
If he's cleared do we have any recourse? Lost a player who may well have been sold or loaned or played and scored some vital goals this season. Seems the club has been dealt a tough hand. Surely these situations must be considered in contracts? The longer it goes on the more it looks like a flakey case if any. Surely if he was guilty and evidence was there, he'd have been dealt with by now?


7.) 11 Feb 2022 21:08:57
?????????? @ FatChris.


8.) 12 Feb 2022 09:32:29
I apologise FChris if you are inferring I should have included the young girl involved and her family in the victims. I did not mean any offense excluding them and understand your feelings.

The police arrested Siggy in July last year but as yet, over six months on, have not pressed charges which can't be acceptable to Siggy or the alleged victims. We don't know the full details but I find it difficult to believe it needed to take this long.

Everton don't face the prospect of jail or the accused being found not guilty which some could say is the main consequence but we will have lost the use of Siggy for a whole season, possibly will have paid him £7million in wages (unless we negotiated a reduction when we suspended him) and lost any value he could have had for the team this season

It's a mess for Siggy and his family, the victim and her family and Everton and the longer it drags on increases the pain to those involved.


9.) 12 Feb 2022 17:18:30
If police have seized electronics it can take 6 months to get back deleted data, so I wouldn't be reading anything into the 6 months of silence just yet.


10.) 13 Feb 2022 12:22:05
TomTom272 correct but also been told he won't be charged.


11.) 13 Feb 2022 13:16:38
Ah OK, I haven't heard anything about charges!


12.) 14 Feb 2022 10:13:06
I have been told.


13.) 14 Feb 2022 11:10:09
What have you been told then, DFS? The last I read was that he was to answer his bail in April after it was extended a few months ago. Even Mendy from city was bailed so it's no indication of whether he is guilty or not.
If all charges are dropped, would we even want him back for the last month? His contact is up this summer as well, I doubt we will see him in a blue shirt again.

Read in the Athletic that Lewis Dobbin has signed a new 3 and a half tear contract with us

Finally some good news.

bw2412 v2.0

1.) 27 Jan 2022 11:19:46
Agree bw, it is about time we had a bit of good news. Think this lad could be really good for us. Just need a manager who likes playing younger players now.


2.) 27 Jan 2022 12:20:43
We have one, the problem is he's only interim and won't be considered for the job.


3.) 27 Jan 2022 12:49:13
Hes already ruled himself out of the job.


4.) 27 Jan 2022 17:49:45
Get him some game time now. Not been the best place for young players over the past few years, I hope with a new manager that changes.


 

 

10 Aug 2021 13:46:09
Have any of the Eds or another poster got an update on Thierry Small?

Wasn't it 1st August he could sign for another club. Has he returned to training with us?

bw2412 v2.0

{Ed025's Note - sorry bw i have heard nothing on him mate..


1.) 10 Aug 2021 19:33:55
Nothing to do with Everton but is anyone else going to start with DCL in the fantasy football?


 

 

09 Aug 2019 01:17:55
Not a 100% perfect transfer window but still a very good one where we

Signed a goalkeeper which improves our cover for Pickford and which allows Virginia to go out on loan and gain valuable experience

Signed a right back on loan for a year who will really challenge Seamus for his place. After a year we have the option to sign him if he is a success, bring back Kenny if he has improved out on loan or look at the situation again but we're now in a much better situation

Centre back is why I am saying not 100 % but let's not forget Gbamin can play as centre half so we have provided some cover and I think Mina will prove himself this season

In midfield, unfortunately Gueye has left us but he goes with all our best wishes and we have Delph and Gbamin as strong signings, Don't forget we also got one of our prime targets Gomes on a permanent for really good price

In attack MOISE KEAN! What a signing and again what a bargain he will turn out to be. He's young but is our new Lukaku and him and Calvert Lewin will push each other. Iwoebi came in very late and he is an big improvement to the squad

All in all a good transfer window and my thanks to Brands and all his team, the owner for his support and Marco for selling the project

COYB NSNO.

Really good window mate.


2.) 09 Aug 2019 09:21:32
On top of this they have also managed to move out a lot of the squad that weren't getting a game with more to come until the European window closes

Others have also strengthened but we knew that would happen.
I think we have a chance of catching Chelsea and Wolves, I'm not sure Arsenals attack can offset its lack of defence and I also think Man Utd are there for the taking, even with Maguire so BRING IT ON

COYB NSNO.


3.) 09 Aug 2019 17:44:28
Only problem for Virginia is my mates who are Reading fans said he had a bit of a mare for his first game and reading picked up some Brazilian keeper during the window
Hope he does get some game time though as I heard he looks a great prospect.

21 Jan 2025 02:40:15
Let's talk about Abdulaye Doucoure and the abuse given to him by some of our so called "fans and supporters" on this site

First of all let's make it clear I think he's gone off the boil a little bit this year and if he was food I'd be checking that his 'best before date' hasn't been passed. He's lost a yard or so in pace so is rushed and, as a result some of his passing is 'safe' and sometimes inaccurate.

But let's also be clear that

It wasn't him that gave him the contract he is on. It was Everton management that proposed it and he accepted it. I think he will be 33 when it expires so not too old, but maybe 12 months too long. We're a business and shouldn't let sentiment get in the way. Same with his wages

It's not his fault that Garner, Tim, O'Neill are all out injured so Dyche and now Moyes have turned to him. You can argue the toss about Harrison Armstrong - he is certainly one for the future but very young to be thrown into a relegation war

What we do get from Doucs is someone with immense pride in being an Everton player, who will work his socks off for US in defense and in attack, and who has, and still will do, scored some really important goals for us

For him to be slagged off the way he is, game in, game, out is totally disrespectful. Sure, call for management to plan for the future and look for a replacement but, quite frankly, he's more of an Evertonian than you lot are proving yourselves to be. Nil Satis Nisi Optimum - Nothing but the Best and we have you?

And please don't give me that crap about we have a right for an opinion. You have - but you also have a duty to be fans - to be supporters, and my opinion is you're not being either

By the way - It's a similar argument for Idrissa and DCL.

bw2412 v2.0

1.) 21 Jan 2025 03:39:11
I happen to think that Doucoure' does do a job off the ball. Others do not. People do have a right to an opinion. My opinion is your comment is misguided.


2.) 21 Jan 2025 08:41:06
Totaly agree bw2412 there are people on this site that will slag players off as as first option without looking at the overall picture. In my opinion if a manager picks a player then they do so for valid reasons and all three of the players you mentioned seem to be picked as starters by last group of managers.


3.) 21 Jan 2025 08:51:54
Abuse? Wow. Since when does critiquing a player and his abilities on a football pitch constitute as abuse.

If players are able to be praised, then they are equally able to be called out for being crap. These players are paid an absolute fortune to do a job and as fans, especially paying fans, EVERYBODY is well within their rights to form an opinion.

It is pure delusion on your part to suggest that his inability to pass or retain possession of a football is down to a loss of pace. He never had pace to begin with and he has never been an intelligent footballer. He has always relied on his physicality and particularly his engine (which at one moment in time, was fantastic) . Look at the likes of Gueye on Sunday. Zero pace yet is able to play it round them and keep hold of the ball, dictating the pace of the game because he is a decent football player.

Calling out his performance on Sunday was not abuse, stop being so fragile. People can take or leave stats and I agree that some of the ones that are bandied about in todays game are useless and don't give the overall picture. That being said, when they are there in black and white, serving as proof for claims about giving the ball away or doing little to nothing on the ball offensively, then they simply can't be argued.

No one is calling for young Armstrong to be starting week in week out. What people are pointing out is that Doucoure stayed on the pitch after such a poor display. Surely Armstrong is deserving of a late cameo to show and prove to people that he can make the step up, especially after we saw a snip of what he could do in the Cup, albeit against Peterborough. It is good enough for the likes of City, Arsenal and Liverpool to do this but not us no?

Duty to be fans and supporters? The duty as fans and supporters is to be in full voice during the game and get behind the team to spur them on to victory. You do know that people are capable of doing that and then voicing their opinion on the game afterwards don't you? Reminder - this is a rumours site and despite what you may think, Doucoure won't even know it exists, let alone will he ever go on it.

Abuse? Laughable. Get off your high horse.


4.) 21 Jan 2025 09:09:03
You're full of 'it'

Have an opinion of Dacoure all you want but respect the fact he helped us stay up the last 2 seasons and shows more love of Everton and commitment than you ever will. You're too busy feeding your ego.


5.) 21 Jan 2025 09:38:56
Pot, kettle BW.

What makes you think that I can't and don't respect the fact he helped us stay up at the same time as calling out his ability to play for us this season. I guess that we should get Graham Stuart back in the middle because of his performance against Wimbledon should we. What a nonsensical comment.

He shows more love of Everton and commitment than I will? So he gets paid close to half a million pounds a month to play for us and as a base minimum, runs around on the pitch and shows effort aka does his job. I pay thousands of pounds a year out of MY own money to go and watch us up and down the country, watching (for the most part) uninspiring football - what an interesting take.

{Ed025's Note - listen guys we cant have people disrespecting others on here as it will just deteriorate into a slanging match, we cant call other people names like idiot or fool or even worse, if you dont like a post then ignore it i would suggest, come on people this is our site so lets be more tolerant and respectful please...cheers..


6.) 21 Jan 2025 09:54:48
As long as the respect includes players I'm fine with that Ed.

{Ed025's Note - opinions about players is fine BW we all have out own take on how good or bad they are but we want discussions to be polite and respectful, replies should be the same as if you are talking face to face mate, it about being nice to each other even if you dont agree..


7.) 21 Jan 2025 09:55:04
Absolutely Ed.


8.) 21 Jan 2025 10:03:45
Fair comment Ed. Apologies for the above posts if any were out of order.

Personally I haven't seen any posters "abuse" players on here. I think given what all of us have had to endure in the past few seasons, everybody is impeccably behaved. There is rarely anything that is personal, no name calling, no comments that are disrespectful on a human level. I have simply seen people give their opinion on performances from professional footballers, at worst people have called a player crap.

Everyone has different opinions, whether they are right or wrong is up for debate and it is football but to be told that holding a certain opinion makes you less or more of a fan is ludicrous and arrogant.

{Ed025's Note - its more about how we speak to each other BN, name calling and derision is not on mate or things can easily fall apart..


9.) 21 Jan 2025 10:25:06
I agree BlueNose we all see them (players) as assets or handicaps our perspectives sometimes differ and there is nothing wrong with that it's natural.
Abusing and accusing others is against all the forums protocols, some of which include 'Don't attack, degrade, insult, or belittle other members'


10.) 21 Jan 2025 10:35:59
It does turn a bit nasty on here at times and I think we are all guilty of this I think it's just because we have had so many bad times over the past few years. but it's better than being a RED.


11.) 21 Jan 2025 10:56:34
I agree Skylark

Obviously Bluenose hasn't been on the live match chat page

Bit is better than being a red.


12.) 21 Jan 2025 11:02:05
Sorry but thanking a player for keeping us up. If the player had done his job properly then we wouldn't have been involved in another relegation battle.
Don't need to look at stats to see how poor Dacoure is, just watch him on the pitch. Are things really that bad now that we are expected to praise players who just run around a lot. Dacoure, Harrison, Beto all run around a lot but offer very little. But hey as a supporter we are supposed to praise them, really?


13.) 21 Jan 2025 11:55:28
Whether it is praise or criticism towards players is besides the point for me Brass. All a game of opinions but to frame it as abuse is just pure nonsense imo, worse still, to question someone's legitimacy as a fan.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with pointing out weaknesses in the squad, wanting to aim higher and improve at any point in time but when you are at the bottom of the league season after season as we have been, it makes it even more reasonable.


14.) 21 Jan 2025 12:49:29
Agree BlueNose, abuse is not the right word, more downright frustration of some very poor well paid so called footballers stealing a living mate, of course we can criticise them.


15.) 21 Jan 2025 12:55:30
And still he rabbits on trying to justify himself.


16.) 21 Jan 2025 13:14:28
Bit like your post mate rabbit rabbit.


17.) 21 Jan 2025 13:14:09
Justify myself? What makes you think I feel need to justify myself and certainly to you. As I said before, the arrogance stinks. It must be high up on that horse.

I apologised to Ed for calling you a fool and rightly so.

You cry about disrespect and yet you carry on.

You have not come back with one single rebuttal to any of the points made, just an emotionally-charged splurge of words that have no substance and make no sense.


18.) 21 Jan 2025 13:46:57
At least I stay consistent GB instead of you
"Moyes was terrible manager and should never be our manager again to Moyes is the best thing that's ever happened to us"

All you do is chase around for Thumbs Up.


19.) 21 Jan 2025 16:08:39
Also said I didn’t want Moyes but I will support whoever manager we have, I happen to think he will be good for us mate, you go your way and I will go mine.


20.) 21 Jan 2025 18:34:31
So let me think. You’re just doing what people are asking you to do GB. That’s support whoever is in charge or playing. Just never have an opinion naughty boy.


21.) 21 Jan 2025 21:10:28
Wow… that got out of hand quickly.

bw2412 v2.0 has written an article entitled, Is The Everton Team The Problem?

bw2412 v2.0

1.) 16 Jan 2025 12:07:06
Good debate BW. Personally I don't think we have a bad squad, we just have managers who are safety first, albeit through fear.

Armstrong and Patterson the other day showed what we can do on that right hand side, although it was against Peterborough, we can attack and create. However, we reverted to type again.

Harrison is a huge problem. He just hugs the touchline and doesn't move. He needs to start coming inside to allow the right back to move forward. Instead he gets the ball and the only option is to pass it back again. He's completely brain dead.

Armstrong came inside and linked up with Patterson, Mangala and Ghana. He's such a better option. Even Jesper is a much better option. There's a player in him but he needs regular minutes which he won't get under these types of managers.

Myko and Ndiaye are working better together but Dwight is the missing link there. With him back Ndiaye can be allowed to be more free.

For me if they don't trust Armstrong and Patterson then they have to 100% get a whole new right hand side because Young and Harrison are pants going forward.


2.) 16 Jan 2025 13:12:25
Our central players are actually decent, pick any two out of centre backs I’d personally go obrien and branthwaite, gana and mangala are decent in the centre of the park and Pickford is a top gk.

The problem is we have crap full backs and wingers, we sign two new full backs and two new wingers I believe we’re a different team, most team’s creativity comes from out wide, just look at the red lot. Trent Salah Robertson Diaz, it’s our wide players which are the problem, sort that and we will be fine.


3.) 16 Jan 2025 14:09:42
Agree with most of what you said there BR.

Mangala is comfortably a 1st team player imo. Lad is competent at everything but doesn’t necessarily excel in anything. He looks after the ball well and keeps it ticking. He knows his limitations and plays to his strengths, which shouldn’t be rocket science but a lot of players don’t possess this awareness.

Ndiaye is easily our best player and I think would get into some of the top sides in the league and you’d see a drastic improvement in his own performance as a result. He is always calm, never rushed. The problem is that he is seen as the only threat we have by the opposition. They know full well if they stop him, we have nothing else. Just like teams know if they score, they can then sit back and stay solid as we pose zero threat. Ndiaye is a very clever footballer but he has absolutely nobody on the same wave length and he is isolated. I feel tremendously sorry for him.

Beto is raw and limited but I still won’t agree to put him in the same bracket as DCL. You can’t expect anyone to have 10 minute spells and build up and rhythm or confidence. By all means, people can say he isn’t good enough but when he plays he causes teams issues. If you give him the 3 chances DCL had last night, I would favour him to score. We don’t nor have we ever played to his strengths. Everyone expects him to mimic DCL, when he is a completely different type of forward. The rare times we have played him in behind, how he likes it, we see results. Doncaster, Newcastle, West Ham. Even the disallowed goal at Saints which was off by the most annoying margin. He tries his bollocks off, yet somebody who hasn’t scored in 16 games keeps getting on ahead of him because apparently he is integral to how we play. That makes zero sense to me, as we have been terrible for the longest time, so put two and two together. Maybe it’s time to change the way we play.

It was evident that Moyes wants them to get balls into the box quicker so that the defenders are unable to set/ reset. Whilst Beto may not be the answer, he would do a much better job than the other pillock.

Fullbacks need addressing much more than a striker does imo as they are so bad, both defensively and offensively. Next would be a CAM who actually has a modicum of vision. Then it would be a striker. We need 3 signings minimum but I think Moyes will bring some in.

I am not losing my mind about last night like some. Villa are a very good team and have very good players. We didn’t get battered and we had chances to score. Moyes will quickly learn who the sh**houses are and they won’t be playing games. He had little to no time to prepare for Villa and as we know from previous players, the man drills his players into submission. I expect significant improvements.


4.) 16 Jan 2025 17:02:03
Beto is garbage and Thelwell should lose his job just for that signing. Add Harrison into that and he has no excuses.

{Ed025's Note - im not a fan either Brass..


5.) 16 Jan 2025 18:22:11
DCL has been awful this season but he is still better a better player than beto. Every time he goes forward and runs with the ball, he almost falls over! I get people say he hasn't started enough games but there's an obvious reason for that, he's absolute sh*te. In the cameos he's had he's shown enough to me to suggest we need to get rid and reinvest in someone who can actually play football. BN, the only team he causes issues for is his own. Constantly giving the ball away, always falling over as he runs with the ball etc etc. He does nothing but put us under pressure imo. Maybe I'm missing something and I struggle to remember a worse signing than him in our history. Even Harrison is slightly above him! Two of our worst signings in the clubs history and they are in the same squad, unbelievable.


6.) 16 Jan 2025 19:08:50
Depends what you define as a better player mate. I think both are terrible players but one is unequivocally more potent than the other and does their job better than the other.

Don't take my word for it, just look at the stats. Not any of the silly ones, just goals per minute.


This season:

- Beto 3 goals in 448 (149 mins) .
- DCL 2 goals in 1479 (740 mins) .

Last season:

- Beto 5 goals in 1159 (232 mins) .
- DCL 8 goals in 2630 (329 mins) .

When you factor in that Beto is getting his goals in fleeting spells, coming on with minutes to go, unable to build any rhythm within the game and then also with appearances, it makes it even more obvious who the real "better" player is.

People can go on about DCL's all-round play, which I am still yet to see what they mean. Apparently he is integral to how we play, well we play absolute terrible football, so if he is integral to it, perhaps it is time to rip the script up and try something different.


7.) 16 Jan 2025 20:34:35
Look their both crap. Does it really matter who’s the crapper? Get rid of both and play Ndiaye up top. I mean it’s not like we ever put crosses in anyway.


8.) 16 Jan 2025 22:25:06
We can look at all the stays we want but mate when I go the game I use my own eyes. Just don't see a player in him, certainly not one good enough for this league. NFM is right, they're both crap and need to go. Hopefully the next striker we buy has the ability to score goals regularly, we haven't had that since Rom.


9.) 17 Jan 2025 05:14:54
You all make good points which can be argued either way but I personally don't see a team of Premier League standard players, let alone a squad at this stage in their careers

Patterson, Coleman, Young, Mykolenko, Harrison, Lindstrom, Gueye, Doucoure, DCL, Broja and Beto are not warranting their places. That far too many "passengers" for any team/ squad too carry but that was the situation for Dyche and that is the situation for Moyes. "Just who do we replace them with? "

We don't have youngsters coming through - another Threlwell failure and our recent purchases have not been what I would call successful except for Ndiaye and possibly (I'm not convinced) Mangala

What exactly do we need Threlwell for?


 

 

29 Dec 2024 13:59:03
Everton fans opinions

Pickford - small hands and let's shots from outside the box in despite being Englands No1

Coleman - far too old

Young far too old

Patterson can't even get into the side before Coleman and Young

Tarkowski nowhere near as good as last year

Branthwaite good but making mistakes

Mykolenko - not as good as Digne by a long way

Irobugan - injured

Mangala - ok

Gueye - too old and gives up possession too easily

Garner- injured

Doucoure - far too slow despite keeping us up last season

Harrison - send back to Leeds

O'Neil - far too slow

Linstrom - who is he

DCL - can't score and ignore all the work he does for the side

Ndiaye - a success but better than Gordon or Richy?

With this squad to work with according to our knowledgeable fan base don't you think Dyche deserves a little bit of credit for getting us where we are?

bw2412 v2.0

1.) 29 Dec 2024 14:42:57
It’s not only the players and the manager most of it is with the way Dyche sets them up to play, I would keep 3 or 4 of our current Team mate, far too many below average players in it, hope Freidkin start this in the window coming up.


2.) 29 Dec 2024 15:40:26
No it’s the managers negative tactic and Championship level management.


3.) 29 Dec 2024 15:50:03
So, according to you GB only 4 are Premiership quality. But it's Dyche's fault they are set up to avoid defeat

You're talking rubbish but that's only my opinion.

Of course it is BMD

Until you start whining at the players.

What an absolute stupid post! Not even sure what you're actually trying to say? Are you blaming the fans? Had a few scoops and wanted to be a bit edgy and controversial? Madness hahaha.

No. None at all.

Don’t be daft bw - it’s all we have when Dyche decides to sit back and make no subs. If it wasn’t for the Fact Ipswich are a championship side, we could have been another 3-2.

Pleased we got a result today as we are going to need all the points we can get this and next month.

Did you go to the game today BW2412?


4.) 19 Oct 2024 22:30:50
Happens every time we have the odd win. Suddenly we are all amateur fans. It was Ipswich . Good win yes, but we should be expecting a good win. Not being grateful.


5.) 19 Oct 2024 23:26:40
To be fair Nick, it is a bloody long way. Did you hear our away lot though, got to be among the best. Bit of a strange comment from BW2412 though. Unless he is a pro whiner of course, wonder if there is a course.


6.) 20 Oct 2024 17:22:20
No idea why it capitalised the F in fact bw but you do think that if we were playing someone better, they would have been back in the game and you know how we cope with that….


7.) 22 Oct 2024 01:58:47
I think we forget this site is intended for supporters not whingers and question why people with no coaching badges or experience as professional footballers think they know everything. They seem to get off on always slagging.

So, safe with 3 matches left. What were we worried about?

First of all, a big thank you to Sean Dyche and the team for making us safe in, what has not been a stellar season for us. Add on the points though, that were taken from us, and we'd be mid tablish

Dyche has his faults. He doesn't seem (to me) to make substitutions as quick or as effectively as most of us would like. He has not brought any youth through with the exception of the excellent Branthwaite but he even seemed reluctant at first to bring him into the first team

People say he is negative in his team set up and tactics. Defensively minded and "hoof ball". I'd agree but would say what is he supposed to do with the squad he's been given?

We are a team lacking in pace. Go through the team and who's got real pace? I'd argue that only Godfrey has it and even he isn't the same player as he was before his injuries. Coleman, Gomes, McNeil, Gueye, Young, Beto frankly don't have it

We're still not buying well. Beto and Chermiti? Did they really justify their fees/ wages? Were they really better than keeping Simms and/ or Cannon and spending the money on other positions. The same could be said of Danjuma and Harrison on loan. We've still not solved our problems at right back (possibly even both flanks as neither side offers much offensively) . I wish him (Deli) well but why did we buy Deli with his wages? Onana - we might actually make some money if we sell him but he's not been a success in my opinion - a poor mans Pogba with all the hype

One answer as to why we bought Deli possibly could be the lack of creativity in midfield. There is no one with good figures on assists or build up play. I think we must be the worst in the division

With all of the above Dyche had to, in my opinion, be pragmatic. He made us difficult to score against, The fact we are second to Arsenal in clean sheets is a testament to that and to the excellence on Pickford, Tarkovsky and Branthwaite in particular. The lack of pace in midfield forced him play 2 DM's in the majority of games. The lack of creativity meant we had to rely on set pieces, 2nd balls. The football hasn't been attractive but it's been very effective and we're staying up

Next season people are calling for a new manager with an attacking philosophy, bringing in new, younger, players. All very good but all very dangerous if not done right

Whatever we do I hope we recognise the job Dyche has done for us under very difficult conditions.

I think the answers to some of your questions could be" thelwell"


2.) 28 Apr 2024 08:31:56
You might we'll be right Skylark.

Bad signings and lack of youth coming through point more to Director of Football weaknesses.


3.) 28 Apr 2024 08:44:44
Excellent post BW. ?.


4.) 28 Apr 2024 09:37:26
Disagree Thelwell is a big reason behind the push to level up the Club. The incompetence at the Club has been headed by Moshri/ A. N. Other and 'trusted' advisors (who now that the Inn of plenty has dried up, have cut and run) . Add to that the determination of Richard Masters to ward off the incoming Independent Regulator by the attempted destruction of a historic founding Member of the very League he leads. In my view Dyche has done a fantastic job. I believe Masters has dug a hole so deep that it has now awoken some very powerful people.


5.) 28 Apr 2024 09:57:54
BW, the only point about Godfrey I would add is look where he is playing (and still doing a good job) . The lad is primarily left sided. With the whole Squad fit and well he would be in his natural position. Young in my view has played better the last couple of games because he has green in his natural left side position.


6.) 28 Apr 2024 13:05:38
Think if we do sell Branthwaite then Godfrey might find himself back in the middle.


7.) 28 Apr 2024 13:15:15
The only thing I said about Godfrey is that he hasn't shown the same pace as regularly as he did before his fairly serious injury and the bout of C.V. he had.

Personally I'm surprised Garner hasn't been played at right back more this season because he looked good there last season and even got into the England squad in that position. I can only put it down to Dyche not being happy with Gueye and Onana as the 2 DM's.


8.) 28 Apr 2024 13:23:22
It is strange about Garner. As for Gueye in particular, confidence is a wonderful thing, looks like the original.

And who replaces Holgate in the squad?

McGuire? I bloody hope not

At this rate Dyche will have 4 keepers and 3 outfield players on his bench.

Let not forget the millions in settlement for 3 useless directors that deserved nothing and that should have been forced out years ago for incompetence but, because they never stood up to Moshiri, were kept on

Finally, criticism from the fans and pressure from MSP about a deal that never came to fruition got them to leave with a nice big pay day

No wonder we have very little for players

And now we're getting the same old "We are working diligently" on arranging the stadium finance as we are on finding players

The club is in a right mess, all down to Moshiri really but Bill isn't complaining - he's waiting for his pay off and couldn't give a damn about the club he professes to love.

We've got the Greenwood 'tape' and the racist abuse of Onana

Why can't we just agree that neither are acceptable and have nothing at all to do with the people responsible?

There really are no excuses.

If he is likely to be out until October we are wasting a loan space. We have enough crocks as it is already.

The Echo are saying he's out until October with a hip injury. Hope it's not true or he will be like Vinagre or El Ghazi - signed to sit on the bench all season.
