EPL and British Football

[Bundesbiers]

Congrats to Chelsea, a deserved Championship for the best team this season.
I will be a closer race next year because I expect a better City team and LFC might make another step forward.

Pfffffff. Everyone will be fearing the Magpies next season. We have DeAndre Yedlin.

What a difference a season makes, last time players unwilling to play for a manager they did not like. This year playing well and the coach has everyone happy, he did a great job. Hate to say it but don't rule out Tottenham Nessie, they are so near to winning something all they need to do is be more clinical in front of goal.

You're right, I forgot the Spurs.

I like that the Magpies are back ! But now keeping my fingers crossed for Huddersfield and their German manager David Wagner.

I'm reading the official Everton autobiography. Man, They do have a rich history similar to the Packers. And they started out from the presbyterians to boot. That's right up my alley!

What is this monster we have created ??

Leroy Sane got a massive tattoo on his back of.....him, celebrating a goal.

I like what I see. The Toffees are spending good money and bringing in good talent. Let's hope it translates into a top 5 spot!

Its rare, well in my lifetime anyhow, to see us do business early. Moshiri is not messing about.

Now Everton has signed a deal with a Chinese firm guaranteeing 60 million pounds in the coffers. Wow! Let's hope they can actually use this to produce entertaining football, rather than a bunch of expensive selfish players.

Looks like Lukaku could well be sold to Manure for an absolute fortune. In a way im glad he's going there and not Chelsea because he aint worth that kind of money.

 

[scotscheese]

could have paid a few more quid for pickford though

Every Chelsea fan uniformly says this today! Synchronised denial

Ummm no not really, i think he's a decent player however he does not have the same instinct as Drogba or Diego Costa.

Man U paid how much for him??? Way too much.

£75m+ good luck to Everton though, they made £50m on the deal. Thats whats no doubt financing Wayne Rooneys wages.

Everton is going to use those funds to pay Wayne Rooney??? Asinine. They should invest on someone much younger.

Either the owners or that will foot the bill, your right, he's their prodigal son on the return. He might do ok for them but as you said not a long term option.

Edit : just found out Everton have spent £95m+ on players.

Well this is interesting...

Yes, I think last years debacle of having key players signed right out from under them at the last moment caused a change of direction in how they do business. This year they jumped into the fray early before other clubs could snatch guys away from them.

I see the Rooney signing as a kind of fan closure and an appropriate ending for his career. Everyone knows he is on his last legs. If he has one year or maybe two left in him, he'll be a hit with the fans; and fans bring in revenue.

As far as the 95 million;They got some decent future out of the number of players they got. Heck, Man U spent almost that much on just one player.

When the going rate for a top level player is £3om it mounts up. Everton seem to be speculating to accumulate hopefully it works well for them. Manure are on a totally different level, they spent that amount on one player that they released a few years before.

Definitely. Buying a bunch of good players doesn't always add up to a good team, as we all know. I hope it gets Everton up into CL contention for a couple of years. Regardless of the team Motto (nils statis nisi optimum), I would be happy to see Everton in the top 5.

That would be a huge leap for them, but anythings possible in football.

Looks like its not only Bavaria taking their players...............

O.K., he's going to replace Costa, will be interesting to see where he will land.
I think China isn't possible anymore, their transfer window closes on Friday if I'm not wrong ?

I think he's going back to Atletico. Im happy with Morata instead of Lukaku by some distance.
