    This summer - potential signings

    Like Kelly, he has weak hamstrings. And he's 29, so not a good combination.

    I think the real problem is that the injures and suspension will result is a weak subs. bench: Moore, Rose, Burroughs, Maguire, Walker, ???, ???

    Transfer Rumour Jamie Patterson

    Also if Kane has returned due to long-term injury, we will have lost the reduction in our outgoings.

    Hamer was in possession, Mejbri (young Man Utd loanee) nicks it off him. Hamer brings him down and they tangle on the ground - arguably 50/50. Then while both are still on the deck, Hamer aims 3 karate kicks at the guys head. Cast iron sending off.

    Sheaf can play as an extra defender in front of the back 3. In fact he more or less did that in the second half last night and I thought our defence improved as a result. It still needs further improvement though.

    I suspect it's partly because, having not attracted any suitable buyers, SISU can run the club closer to break even in league 1. So they are not too interested in investing to keep us in the Championship where we are loss making. The total lack of ambition, both on and off the pitch, now appears...

    And unfortunately, neither will SISU.

    I thought he showed determination and 'grit'. Something which was missing from some players yersterday. He's obviously got a lot to learn, but he didn't look out of place coming on as a sub. later in the game.

    CBS issues

    Yes it doesn't look good. However, we need to factor in the fact that the CWG lease with the insects only ended on 14th August. So access to the pitch and the ability to carry out remedial work may have been quite limited, or at least restricted, until the 15th August. This situation arose...

    But none of these will work, because the insects have allowed the grass root system to die back over the summer. That why the CWG rugby 7's cut up the pitch so much, because the grass just got kicked out wheverever they ran. You could actually see it disintegrating on the TV coverage. It was...

    I think that's correct. I may be wrong, but I think it only takes 6 to 8 weeks to grow and lay them. I believe the net cost of ground sharing would exceed £500k by a fair bit. So if we can raise the money, we should probably try doing this as a short-term solution. The big problem with this...

    Transfer Shouts

    It is out of character for Everton to overspend. They are usually as tight as a duck's ass.

    You are saying that assists don't count. Have you been talking to Grendel?

    Yes the £1 was for a share which make you a member of the Trust. Would someone explain how can they charge £2/annum for membership renewal, when as shareholders, we are already permanent members?

    Jobello

    Jones can also play in the 10 role, as well as wide. AFAIK, Jobello has not played behind the strikers.
