• Tom 32 Agree 100 percent. It's times to ditch this ridiculous tool now that is being used by even more inept tools. I mean would you let Laurel and Hardy use a jackhammer and expect a smooth ride? It's time for them to swallow their pride and just accept that VAR has been a complete failure in this country, they don't know how to use it, they don't understand the dynamics of fine margins and the whole thing has taken the moment away from the fans. Last night's game was a clear example of 5 minutes messing about to still make a decision that was nowhere near unanimously correct anyway and the irony of that goal is if the dirt on Haaland's boot had been onside they'd have checked for a penalty. It's a joke simple as that....
  Jim Bennings in Everton’s promising season is starting to unravel
• David/Tony, Thelwell was operating under huge financial constraints, but he did also look for investment in potential. Garner and O’Brien were in that category. Of course, he signed some duds. Tony mentioned Kudus. Deal agreed with Ajax only for Man U to offer 84 million for Anthony which meant they wanted to keep him as squad cover. A deal was agreed with Newcaste to sign Yakuba Minteh, and the player wanted to come with DCL going in the opposite direction. It fell apart when Dominic’s agent (since sacked) told him to turn them down as they wouldn’t offer £150K as week! Minteh in particular would have been a brilliant fit for us. Direct and pacey winger. ...
  Steve Brown in A Year of Moyes Mark II, but is it stagnating?
• Stu @ 91, Jelavic is a great example of a January signing who makes a huge difference. Although he came in March 1999 on loan, King Kevin Campbell scored 9 goals in 8 games to rescue the season. I mentioned Ben White and Donyell Malen as both would likely be loan deals if they did move this month. There are short-term options out there that could be the difference between the club finishing top 8 or 15th this season. It seems common sense to explore this type of deal to help the manager short-term, so hopefully our world class recruitment and analytics team are on it....

• Here's one to set pulses racing and to show us all just how far we have come with TFG with the 'strong' rumour that we are being linked with Ross Barkley. Brathwaite in light training....
  Paul Griffiths in A Year of Moyes Mark II, but is it stagnating?
• Mike Gaynes 79: 'it wasn't Everton fan discontent that saw off our old board, it was the new ownership'. Utter unmitigated rubbish from the 'new ownership's' excruciating fan-boy. This would be the board who stopped coming to home matches long before we heard of TFG? Apparently TFG and MAGA Trumpite Dan the man invented penicillin and built the great wall of China. ...

• No worries Mike. Mr. Gaynes keeps on telling us that we have an ace recruitment team and that we can look forward to a cracking summer after a 'deliberate' January do-nothing. Mike, Kinnear sanctioned buying Barry. Think about that. It's frightening. He is still a massive influence on signings. Don't think about that. But hey-ho no probs, we have all this diametrics and stats stuff now so we will be just sound as a pound. ...
