Ian Rush's Right foot wrote:Is this team going to pass and move and have half the technique of the Arsenal or Chelsea team? No. Instead we get a man who is a brilliant tactician, whose side did play attractive technical TEAM "play to feet" football, like WE used to play in the 70s and 80s, and he now wants to play long ball tactics to a big man to knock down to a little man upfront, and build around two stars, in order to "adapt to the PL". Wenger and Mourinho imported their tactics successfully, why not Rafa?!

Did you watch the Community Shield ? enough said

I don't usually get involved in BS discussion's and I'll keep this one brief.

You my friend, are full of sh*t.

1) Its not 'huge' and Zenden, Crouch and Troare will playing in a month, plus Mellor and Pongolle should be back in training in that time.

2) Were holding out for 7MIL which is a reasonable deal and the same amount we payed for Crouch.

3) That story is complete rubbish, Rafa isnt been forced and will not buy anyone he doesnt want.

4) Bit of a setback, but he is still a target and could arrive next summer or even in January.

5) Thats a load of cr@p, we may not have as many players as we did before but we have a more balanced squad with cover in alomst every area.

We need a centre back and a right winger, no doubt, but that will do, we will then have sufficient cover in all areas without having loads of players just playing reserve football and picking up a nice paycheck.

Rafa and the board are taking a more careful approch to transfers, we will only buy if we can get the right player at the right price, just becuase we have money doesnt mean we have to spend it. We will wait for a situation that suit us.

Warning anyone else that posts on this thread will be subjected to a night out with the Everton squad to their next Euorpean opponents in Kazikstan

:help

Instead of moaning about who we have/have not signed how about getting behind the team and looking forward to this season, we may not have made the gigantic strides forward that we would have hoped for in the close season but who on this site would have ever dreamt we would be in this position this time last year

Lets all get behind Villareal tonight 3-1 if Everton play well

I would love it if they get thrashed absolutely love it copyright K.Keegan

I think that response is a bit uncalled for?..we are all LFC fans here, and we all have the clubs best intrests at heart, ok his point may be controversial? but we are all entitled to our opinions arn't we?. actually he has a valid case, i hope we dont resort to the "long ball tactic either.

How anyone can question our manager after what he did for us last season is completely unbelievable.

Our biggest problem last year was lack of squad depth, which has now been sorted out imo. Rafa has shipped out most of the deadweight now (only Diao remains), has blooded some youngsters such as potter, whitbread and warnock, and has made some shrewd signings - Zenden, Crouch, Sissoko and Reina to replace Smicer, Nunez, Biscan and Kirkland - I'll take that. Add to that Hobbs and Barragan who are very promising and Gonzalez who we'll probably get in January anyway.

As others have said, there will be a couple more, and I'm sure there's a fair bit of cash to spend on them. We can probably afford to go to 10 mil for a quality CB and a couple of mil more for a right mid.

As for the physio, FFS a physio is a physio, he's easily replaced

There is nothing to be negative about TBH,
i cant believe people are already "grumbling" and we haven't even kicked off the premiership yet.
there are more positive things than negative things so far.

I know just trying to point out 3 of the injuries were only short term.

REDTILLDEAD, now I will use your tactic's against you, what I said was my opinion.

But honestly, I don't want to see negative :censored:

Mmm..fair comment...by the way that should read "mountain out of a molehill"...a pothole is a hole in the ground, a molehill is a small mound on top of the ground. :;):
