If we were trying to swap for...I dunno...someone you didn't rate. Michael Keane from Everton. Would you want to sign him still? You'd dismiss your own opinion and say yeah, that'll be grand. If Monchi and Emery want them then I've got no issues. I think it would be ridiculous for me to pray they don't get who they've identified. We're also talking about a guy who just had a successful season playing for juventus, not Everton's 4th choice defender. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post thunderball Posted June 19 Popular Post Share Posted June 19 Might be in a minority, but disappointed if this falls through, he would have offered some drive, physicality and energy to us. The amateur armchair judgement on him astonishes me. 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

calcifer Posted June 20 Share Posted June 20 I admit i was underwhelmed when i heard that Mckennie was involved. Had a Leeds fan at work who actually goes every week, said it fills the void since his wife left him, my reply was not surprised you are a Leeds fan lol, but anyway he said he was awful one of the worst he had seen for a while and Leeds have has some rubbish players, least he was honest on that 2nd bit Yes everyone says lets look what a class manager can do, Unai is a world class manager but he cant polish every turd. I am more excited by this Barrenechea. Then you see that 'football insider' say that Spurs hijacked the deal for Mckennie for a cut price 15M...

PSR will be factor yes. But in this case, I’m not so sure it’s the only one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect he genuinely rates the guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were quite a few people on here writing off our own players during Gerrard's reign of terror and those same players are now getting praised. Don't underestimate how much a coach can transform players, especially one as good as Unai. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheMightyVillans Posted June 20 Share Posted June 20 He is going to need a loan move somewhere else. Can't see juve fans welcoming him back with open arms after this whole transfer saga. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Steve Posted June 20 Share Posted June 20 (edited) For all the shameful comments about his weight, I suggest these posters reflect on Weston’s words: “When people started attacking me — me as a person in general, not even with football — everyone knows that I’m more thick-boned than than some other players, in that my body shape is the way that it is. But when people started out saying, ‘You fat bast**d’ and ‘you pig’ and ‘you m*nkey’ and stuff like that, people don’t really realise the effect that it has on people. I like to be happy and to make people happy, to make people laugh. So that was a little bit hard.” https://archive.is/gx9ai Edited June 20 by The_Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because the insinuation that professional footballers playing in elite Leagues are " fat " in itself in nonsensical. It just makes some people feel better for effect, to drive a point if they don't like/want the player. allmost like a childish " You're a stupid head " etc. John McGinn is " fat ", Lampard was " fat " etc as well. Sidenote: I'm not saying fat players don't exist If the comments were in a Women's Football player thread you'd see how fast all the valiant knights would be arriving with crowns of virtue.
