*Shakes head* Everton again.

[Talismanic]

I actually think Williams will be great for Everton. He's their level and will improve them. He'll be solid enough for 2 or 3 seasons and probably not get injured much (although you have to think with his age combined with luck he must have had not to be injured) it won't be injury free. Just slightly disappointing for them when they thought they were going to out bid Chelsea for Koulibaly.....

[VERBAL DIARRHEA]

The absolute only thing stopping Moshi from splashing £500m on players is FFP as others have mentioned. That was the real reason Messi stayed put. They were going to set him up on the Isle of Man flown in every day for training on Moshi's Everton crested helicopter.

[Charles Penrose]

Was laughing at the reaction to the wind up post yesterday. If they did start spending big money and doing things the right way i'm sure we would actually be a little concerned.

 

At the moment I'm just enjoying their failure to spend money and meet the massive expectations they all had. I wouldn't be visiting there at all if it was going well for them and I'm sure there wouldn't have been a windup post if things were going as they had hoped.

[Josef Svejk]

Williams is a good signing for them. More solid than Stones. Significantly cheaper, too.

 

Not what they were expecting a couple of months back, of course.

[Furmedge]

 

And retweeting the shit out of this;

 

 

Realisation complete.

[AngryOfTuebrook]

Which one of you was this then?

Well, it's an Everton forum, so it must have been posted by a Blue, yet clearly someone under the influence of this place.

 

I accuse Priory Doctor!

It wasn't me.

Best of all, he once wrote in his autobiography that he doesn't like Luis Suarez. Instant Bloo legend.

 

 

(Hilariously, his reason for not liking Suarez was "he thinks he's better than you".)

I've got news for you Ashley...

[Nelly-Szoboszlai]

Not being reported by any reliable sources, but talk that they're being lined up for a shirt sponsorship deal with a company called "Fruity King"

 

Probably blag, but the potential for piss taking is unparalleled.

 

Make it happen!

Can't wait to see the new mascot.

[Cardie]

It's some pop up sports website that's linked them to sponsoring a number of teams (celtic being another) as well as the scottish league.

 

Think it's some indirect marketing scam.

[liverpoolsno9]

They've signed a deal with Willy Hill to be their European (stop sniggering) betting partner. One of the posters doesn't like this deal

 

"Not a fan of this. Very similar to the kopites betvictor sponsorship. We are not a hedge fund"

 

The fucking horrible cunts.

[Harry Squatter]

Anything could be construed as Kopite behaviour. Most other teams have these types of deals. I think Betvictor sponsored Chelsea last year but no one has moaned saying that it is rent boy behaviour.

[ZonkoVille77]

"How long before the GOT Mods abandon post.

Never seen the fan base as worried and panicked as this for quite some time."

 

haha. brilliant.

[PestiRed]

Rumblings of civil war, some are even accusing the mighty Esk of being a false prophet

 

Damn shame that they banned Davek, could have been epic

[Frankenhooker]

Is that the one who posted that there will be four signings this week with a further four to follow ?

[PestiRed]

He's the one who announced Moshiri as the saviour, Mata as a done deal, Witzel as a certain etc. Claims to be ITK

 

One more directed at @The Esk, feel free to ignore but it's an open question.

 

Do you regret your choice of language post-takeover?

 

I can't help but think that, maybe (just maybe) your rambunctious shouts of us being able to compete 'with the best in world football' and to 'expect a summer the likes you have never seen before' have been a key factor in the disillusion with many supporters on this forum. As a seasoned professional you obviously understand the importance of managing expectations and the results of failing to do so.

 

I also concede that you're just like the rest of us and have nothing to do in terms of the communication of the club to its supporters - but as someone of distinction on this forum it would have been beneficial to scale back a little bit.

 

100% agree with everything in this post. The Esk built fans' hopes up to unprecidented levels, and probably ought to have been a little more cautious in promising the world and insisting it's all going to happen. While he may very well have been provided that info, passing it on to the whole forum, and indeed world via Twitter, almost in a showing off way ("Mata is ours" etc), probably wasn't the wisest idea.

 

He appeared to tell us all that we're signing all these players, then weeks later claimed to only know about deals in their "early stages" and thus couldn't really say for sure whether or not said deals will even come off.

 

Everybody appreciates knowledge being shared, but the way it has happened over the past month here has been a shame.

"Done deal, lad. Done deal."

[Frankenhooker]

They've signed Gueye from Villa. Here comes the flood.

[Russ Atmosphere]

They've got owners like ours I reckon. Moshiri probably deduced how rich he can get off this commonwealth stadium long before purchasing the club.

 

They'll probably spend a load this window then look at 'value' for the following five years.

[Reckoner]

@liverpoolfc_hq.

 

Why do they have a Marge Simpson mural in the middle?

I don't understand that objection at all. If he doesn't like gambling / loans etc then fair enough, but 'hedge fund'? makes no sense.
