Arsenal's Stan Kroenke makes offer to buy whole of London club

Talk is that Usmanov will likely come to Everton now, I don't know much of how this would work out considering we have Moshiri and Kenwright at the helm, unless he goes to buy out Kenwright. Wouldn't really be able to take much advantage of any extra money though considering the window closes in two days.

Well, what a towering shower of shit this transfer window has been.

Well, what a towering shower of shit this transfer window has been.

It’s a perfect storm of short window, World Cup and Brexit/crashing Sterling.

 

[Embattle]

Seems much more likely to be related to that shinny new Stadium, even if everyone at Spurs kept trying to say it wouldn't affect transfers *while crossing their fingers*.

 

[Gray]

Happy with the last minute purchases. Mina will hopefully be a great acquisition to partner Keane. If I remember Brazilians haven't fared well playing for Everton so Bernard will remain to be seen, but free transfer is perfect...

Getting rid of Ashley Williams, Mirallas, Klaassen is a job well done...

Time will tell though, last season I thought it was going to be our year...

And in our case new stadium. I wouldn't be at all surprised if there's loads of interest from the continent for Premier League players starting about now.

Don't forget you could also be getting Zouma on loan. A real good little loan for a small fee.

 

[Moriath]

We are top of the league, say we are top of the league.

Yes that too is good! We have strength and depth now in pretty much every place.

Don't know if the new signings will go straight into the team tomorrow. I really dislike playing promoted teams first, you never know what the outcome is going to be when you start fresh again.

 

[caLLous]

I wouldn't mind just going with this and knocking the season on the head tbh.

I dont agree with that prediction at all.

 

[caLLous]

Yeah that's why I want to go with it. I wish I was as optimistic as they are about our finishing position.

 

[Embattle]

You know it is wrong, look where Newcastle finish.

 

[Moriath]

The advert for ee bt sport with delia is so wrong on so many levels.

Norwich wont be on it at all and i assume she is wanting to see her teams games. I think the game pictures is liverpool roma and he is talking about premiership games.

Does anyone actually buy bt sports ? I get it free with virgin media. Loads get it bundled with phone etc.

I got Skysports free with my vodafone account.
Everytime I switched it on it was just commentators talking shite to each other...people pay for this crap?

 

[Scouse]

Top of the league


(Unless City tonk the Arse)

We'll be fine. Granted our transfer window has been piss poor, we've got Rafa and arguably a better side than Cardiff, Huddersfield, Brighton etc.

I kinda agree with Crystal Palace being the surprise package this season too.

 

[caLLous]

Yeah Newcastle will be ok. Kenedy was fucking terrifying a couple of times against us the other day, I was certain he was going to put that great opportunity away (we probably deserved it tbh). Yedlin looked like a pretty nasty hyper extended knee, though, so he might be out for a little while (which could be seen as a good thing, depending on how you rate him).

I'm not saying they won't do better than quite a few other teams but not half way.

Oooh. Just need Pogba to get crocked too (I understand he's looking good?) and lollerpool players to not get Ramos'd to buggery and IT'S OURZSSSS!!!!!!!11

Lol. I think half the city team need to be crocked first.

Raheem Sterling: Silence over criticism is 'shameful', says Kick It Out chair

Black people taking being black and blaming it for any critisism. Sterling is pants. He runs with the ball then cant work out what todo at the end.

Its not cause he is black. Ffs.

 

[Moriath]

Former Real Madrid boss Zinedine Zidane wants to return to management and is keen to take over at Manchester United next summer. (L'Equipe - in French)

Dont want that dick in charge tbh.

 

[Scouse]

Actually, he's pretty damn good.

The reason he's getting vilified is that people are sheep and there's an anti-sterling bandwagon they've jumped on.

Still not cause he is black tho. He is good. I mean a lot better than most or he wouldnt be in a city side. Just not as good as he could be and especially when he plays for england.

 

[Scouse]

Just not as good as he could be and especially when he plays for england.

This I dislike. He's clearly one of England's best players but people are fucked off because he's not Ronaldo.

It's so ficking weird. Why don't they hate on Rashford more for being a waste of space, for example? But no - they clamour for him to come on to replace the definitely better Sterling.

International football is shite.

 

[caLLous]

Sterling is shite.

Fixed.
