This was the true demise of Everton. When we started getting our transfers dreadfully wrong and bringing in players like Mike Milligan, Neil Adams, Ray Atteveld and Stefan Rehn to replace Peter Reid and Paul Bracewell and Trevor Steven
@Theboysil@SukhdevSohal1 He deffo wasnt, hes strayed miles away from the point that Ndiaye is great to watch by banging on a player who left 10 years ago and posting a screenshot of his maths homework it looks like. Or just a bunch of numbers
We've got a winger who's the 1st player to have us anywhere near the edge of our seat since Rooney nearly 20 years ago. Hasnt had a decent full back or centre forward anywhere to be seen to play off him. And theres crackpots all over twitter whod be happy to see him sold. Psychos
@post_liberal While I was generalising, good players moved out and not so good moved in, I do think Reid and Steven moved on the following year after we signed those 2, Cottee and McDonald
@stustuy He was a few years before that. The kit I can picture him wearing was when I was in school, and I left 92. Id say 1990, and Reid had just gone
And tonight's trend on Twitter. A load of backward ghouls pitting recent murders against each other comparing reaction and importance like theyre playing a game of Top fucking Trumps
@adamsummerton Can't imagine todays kids would be arsed, but this was incredible back in its day for us. Nothing before or after came close. The tonne of info about the teams/players came from football writers, not some blert talking about XG like the kids listen to now. 86 and 90 were the peak
@SukhdevSohal1 You cant make numbers up and state as facts. Cant be arsed Googling but there is not a chance Mirallas had those numbers in 3 yrs. Either way my opinions are based on what my eyes see and Ndiaye is a much better player than the 2 you mention and isn't someone we need to lose
@Smigggss@Marcus_1878 Probably the 1st name on the team sheet. Top scorer and player of the year in his first season. Outstanding during the first half of this season. Dipped like everyone else after that and hasnt extended a contract thats still got 3 years on it so let's sell him and play Dibling๐
@SukhdevSohal1 Even if i agreed with any of that, that would make him the first player in a decade to have excited fans. And they played in a much more exciting team, with a good full back behind them and a top centre forward ahead of them. Things a winger needs that he hasn't had.
@TacticallyMatt Its astounding how many dont seem to think he could to to blame himself. Im not having it for one minute he'd be sat on that bench without getting on every week if he was putting in a shift at training every day
@GregM2302 We could sell him for ยฃ40m though and get 2 full backs. We managed Mykolonko and Patterson with the ยฃ30m off Digne, just think what we could do with ยฃ40m 5 years later ๐ซ . Im blocking the word Everton, I cant put up with another minute of this
@geoc1878 Same mad bastards will have been saying not so long ago that we had Newcastle off and got a better player for half the money. Round the twist this lot
Bergkamp and Henry were unbelievable, but even Henry himself would say 1998 Ronaldo was levels above him. Bergkamp and Ronaldo would have made the best front 2 ever
Pick your dream front two: the France โ98 edition.
Itโs the nineties, itโs four-four-two or nothing, and youโre the gaffer.
Which pair are you picking?
Farage is an absolute creature of the lowest denomination. He's the shit you find under a rock. Where hes been hiding lately. The vile little woodlouse
@1878carter If him and one other were to replace the 2 you mention, I'm fine with that and the midfield is then OK. Just in front, behind, to the left and to the right of it needs fixing then. In other words, everywhere else
