"Put in a bid." Do they think they sell players on ebay or something! How do you "put in a bid" ffs?

It's pretty clear that the window hasn't gone entirely to plan but there's still some time left. I'd say we're probably not competitive with wages compared to some of the clubs that have been active.

The trouble is each time he does play and doesn't make an impact he denies an opportunity to the likes of Obikwu, for example, to develop. He might well benefit from 25 appearances this season, even if he only scores 4 or 5. I think that is a tough decision to be made if he doesn't go out.

I think so. Boddy said in his long interview. You took me too literally, it's the exception that proves the rule! My general point is still valid!

I lost count of the number of clubs that Mark Robins had been "linked with" Turns out nobody ever made a formal approach!

It's all these unnamed sources that are issue. "Sky has been told" etc. Means nothing by itself!

Depends who you believe. One persons "bid" is another persons "casual enquiry".

I think that goes without saying. This deal has obviously not emerged over Friday night! King mentioned Nicola by name at the w/e.

If you read this nice story piece about Ellis in his younger days in Liverpool he just isn't recognisable as the same player, apart from the very shy kid bit! https://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/inside-story-rise-evertons-goalscoring-16451711

He's a dad isn't he? It changes some people's attitude to getting hurt. That's my theory anyway. He seems like a nice lad, too nice probably.

What we can say with some certainty is Ashley has been the only person to profit from the Arena since it was built!

The accounts weren't published in May (as 2024) for the Arena, I don't know why not. I don't think anybody knows but he's not far wrong that's for sure.

He was referring to somthing that he'd read, wasn't he. Personally, I think he's in the right ball park, I speculated on £40m+ upthread so maybe that's why!

He played very well against us certainly but we also made him look good really by giving their defence too much time to organise. Much as we did with Ballard, he's nothing special.

You can only play what is in front of you, they were far from shit. We couldn't score against a side that's conceded 5 in two games! It's really far too early to be making any predictions.

Seems all important to us but it's just detail. What matters to him is just the line in the accounts accounting for player sales.

Dead right. A little push before jumping here, a shirt tug there, just relentlessly. The first corner came from a clear handball, the stadium went up for it but not the ref nor the Lino, who was right next to it and looking the right way. It's been cut from the highlights reel unfortunately so...

Lampard has had every chance to bring in his own person, especially over the summer, so it appears he's happy with what Aled is doing...

Leicester looked quite useful on opening day, the way they won from behind in the second half was pretty strong. Better than us against Hull tbh!

Grimes put one on his head perfectly from an early corner. I'd rather give a kid a chance at this stage, Simmo can't be ahead of Obikwu on merit
