He must be able to close the full backs down,run the channels and corner flags non stop & work his socks off defensively.
Atsu, Atsu we all fall down.

Yakubu was over £10 million and he delivered (until his injury) so for me we have to be looking at paying somewhere similar or get lucky.
NB – Jelle Vossen, the Belgian international, is still banging them in for Genk and for me would be worth going after – very soon.

I love the way we get excited about linked players when we've just had that transfer window scam in January.

See the Boy Wonder was left out of Man Utd's starting line up tonight. Could this be the end of the Love-In. Come home son, so Bill can NOT sell you again for £50 Million, though in fairness, he didn't sell him for £50 Million.

You can read the actions of this chairman like a Janet and John book now.

The only way we are going to buy players is if we sell someone first, the extra £25m will go some way to disguising the £19/20m we lose each year (yes it was only supposed to be £9m but when you factor in we made a £10m profit on player sales; which can't last forever - then you see it's really £19m)
It really is TIME FOR CHANGE!!!!!!!!!!!
772 Posted 06/03/2013 at 08:01:10
Is that what you meant to stop us making losses?
Or does your idea of not making losses mean some rich guy subsidising us to the tune of £20m per year by paying for some advertising and writing it off against his other businesses?

Yes, Brian — it's the lunchtime Saturday kick off on ITV.

Fellaini will go
Heitinga will go
Gueye will go
... and hopefully Naismith will go.
This will free up some wages too — especially if Fellaini goes.

BK: "So how about selling us Negredo for £10M?"
Reply: "Laughter! You will need to at least double that!"

Will Moyes stay? Which German club? Which Martinez clone? Our glass is half-full/half-empty knobeads....?
Let's get this right. We will be left with a chairman with what we've had all along... a chairman with NO MONEY.
Forget the board. They want him out!!! They've got money. HE HASN'T...
GOT IT YET ???.....HE HASN'T GOT ANY MONEY... THEY HAVE!So why do you think that a group of people in and around this club who are worth between them an estimated 2-3 BILLION, won't put a poxy £10-15M (even against TV money) in when the team are clawing desperately near to a Champions League place????
Surley the bloody penny's dropped???
YES! THEY WANT RID OF HIM — WAS THE RIGHT ANSWER!
The first order of business in this club, in my opinion, is to protest against this chairman's continuous presence in Everton Football Club.
Work it out!

Kenwright was supposed to have had a £200mill offer for the club when we went to 4th back then. He turned the offer down, probably thinking, with Moyes seemingly being a new fresh wonder manager, he would take the team to even greater glory, both on and financially off the pitch.
Obviously as we fell away from those highs, any investor could see us and weigh up our situation more clearly – coupled with are ever accruing debt situation. The 'Board' (and Co) were probably pissed right off that they didn't get their enhanced share prices, and have since that time (Lord Grantchester in particular) sat back and waited for Mr Kenwright to implode under the burden of his ever accruing financing... aka debts.
Grantchester has said in particular, that he will not step in and take an active financial role in the club while True Blue Holdings (Kenwright's 'consortium') remain in place.
Lord Grantchester has also been believed to have offered Kenwright his 'coin back' on his shares but, given the difference in scale from that offer, he poo-pooed it.
Which brings us to recent events, ie, the refusal of the board to back any transfer activity in the recent transfer window. Well, again all this goes hand in hand with the Chairman's refusal to sell (sharewise), and, in my opinion, I think with the teams recent surge towards a Champions League place, the Chairman has yet again gambled on Moyes and the team getting him out of his hole, but it looks almost uncertain now that that scenario will come off due to, or in part because of the team's performance and/injury woes... and above all, the lack of transfer activity, and last day deadline bollocks.
So... what next? Simple(ish)... We should hound him till he lets go and sells.

I would have thought a basic knowledge of pathology was a minimum prerequisite for posting on a football website.
