Frosty Jack

Leave him alone you meanies, look at his face.

He needs to be kidnapped by the FARC to restore his form.

I’ll thread you in a minute

Nobody was good. Weird to single him out. Elliott was even worse.

Their new stadium looks like it was designed by Fyds.

Barkley

I see Darwin is banging them in for Inter as predicted. Can’t help but think we should’ve kept him another season. Mo doing well there too of course.

Spurs are one of the most Evertonized clubs in the premiership at this point.

Ferri is not the cult figure he should be

United are the highest profile example of Evertonization yet observed.

All needs to be judged in context of the wholesale Evertonization of football.

As the story went he just didn’t seem arsed about signing for Liverpool, rather than failing any d****ead test. Yes, makes you wonder if there even was a GH d****ead test.

it was there, in plain sight, and we did nothing.

Even Reade wrote about his own shame at becoming comfortable with it. There was a lot of “I might not like the idea, but he’d improve us” rationalisation. I didn’t know anyone who wanted him, doesn’t mean I think nobody did.

The worst thing was how comfortable so many were with it.

I never felt he was the right player to sign, but there was a certain feelgood factor about it then, albeit brief. If we were under normal financial and ownership conditions the bizarre indignity of his sale wouldn’t have been necessary.

U hav 2 admit very handsome fella

Don’t count Hughes out just yet. You may be pleasantly surprised.

Wasn’t like that at all. We were being carpetbagged. He needed money for other targets and Robbie was deemed superfluous and sellable in an emergency. There may have been some bravado to it but Rafa has since said he wanted Jovetic that summer which may well be an elaborate fiction to cover up him being weird and selling a player after 6 months, although I’d be inclined to believe him on that, given what else was going on.

He wanted Stevan Jovetić to combine with Keane as I recall and was then told the money wasn’t there. It seems bizarre now but we know why he was forced to act so counterintuitively in the market, especially for those final few seasons. https://www.thisisanfield.com/2023/02/rafa-benitez-reveals-the-3-high-profile-transfers-he-was-denied-at-liverpool/

All signings are a complete waste of everyone’s time.

Be good if we had at least one high profile big money departure. It’ll raise morale.

That’s the idea. Make a feature of it. Make it part of the brand. #WeComeNotToPlay
