Er...no
Why are you bringing 'abject' into it? Apart, of course, from it being about the Ev, so I can sort of see why the word loomed large in your mind, lol

You know what, when I made the original post with the object/abject Guardian spelling error gag my biggest surprise was that you didn't correct my stupidity first  ;D I realised I hadn't explained myself properly an added the lazy internet look-up quote hoping it would help.

Ed Morrish once told me " You shouldn't have to explain good comedy and you shouldn't bother explaining bad." Wise words, and I cede the floor.

How could you have missed the cheering crowds and media frenzy that accompanied their swoop for sprightly dynamo Ashley Young and a loan move for the same Danjuma who propelled Spurs to glory only a few months ago?

I wonder how much they banked on selling Pickford or Onana this summer. Nobody seems interested in either, and I can't see Fulham offering a significant amount for Demarai Gray. Joyce mentioned a few days ago that Everton inquired about Che Adams, who surely would be a Maupay 2.0, although I'm sure their fans would appreciate that Everton is his middle name (born not manufactured)

I'm sure they'd take Adams over Maupay, I can't think of many worse finishers than him in recent times, he's fucking dreadful.

When I think about Everton now I just see Stoke or Burnley, their brand of football kept them in the league, pretty hard to flush but in the end they went.

Mad to think of that giddiness they had not so long back, they were fucking rich! Ancelotti at the helm, winning the transfer window. Life came at them fast bless them

They gave him that new contract to protect his transfer value, and nobody's come in for him. They were probably expecting United to be in for him, but then they've gone and signed Andre Onana instead - who looks to be just as much of a comedy act. ;D

The only clubs who would be vaguely interested now are the mid tier ones, like West Ham or Palace, but even if someone throws in a bid I doubt they would meet Everton's asking price. They'll probably want something like £50m for him.

For a blue the truly depressing thing to come from this transfer window is that 95 year old Ashley Young actually improves the squad.

Problem is I think despite there utter shiteness they will still finish above Luton and Sheff.U
That leaves one spot, which I have them down to fill, left available.
But a Forrest /  Bournemouth / Palace ?  bad run or form again keeps them up.

I think they likely thought Spurs would also have been in for Pickford, but they opted for Vicario. Everton initially overpaid for Pickford when they signed him. But now that he's firmly England's No.1, they'd want a ridiculous fee for him. There can't be many clubs outside of the likes of West Ham who would be interested in him for the foreseeable future.

He's in a awkward position where he'd be too expensive for anyone but the top clubs but not in a profile most of the top clubs look for. I reckon he'll regret that new contract in a year or two, apparently did it for more money and to help Everton get a fee for him. Kind of what Max Allister did for Brighton except without the smart release clause

While I've got your attention Titi, and while we're on the subject of threads, is the previous-to-last Everton thread - not the last one which you just locked but the one before that  -still available?

As I recall it was locked and possibly deleted after the Siggurdsson stuff broke and some idiots would not stop posting about it, but it had loads of amazing content in it, and it seems a shame to have lost it all because of a few incontinent morons.

If it's still around in a recycle bin or something any chance it can be reinstated minus any unwanted posts?

I've been ill for the last week and have been cheering myself looking through the last Everton thread (some hilarious stuff in there, esp from Capon), but could not find the thread previous to that, which I think contained some of my first tentative posts as a member here in it, lol.

Anyway would appreciate it if it's doable. Thanks

Fixed that for you. ;)

Ahhh, if only Pickford wasn't from Sunderland, as it rules out Saudicastle.

Just goes to show though, he's only England's #1 by default. If Pickford was truly any good, he wouldn't still be playing for a club that's barely escaped relegation two seasons running. As you say, the only potential moves available to him would be effectively sideways ones, and no club in that bracket will pay what Everton want for him.

That said, given the way Chelsea spend money there's hope for Everton and Pickford yet!

Looking at their squad list, there’s desperately few players they could jettison for good money if they needed to accumulate funds quickly, say for a massive looming tax bill.

Branthwaite, Godfrey, Pickford, McNeill and Onana are probably the only ones you could reliably say would get them £20m per player. Their squad is desperately thin on the ground quality wise. They should have sold Calvert-Lewin when he was fit and they were talking £50m+.

I’d love to see them drop down the plug hole but I can’t see them doing worse than 17 other teams. Luton’s squad and signings says to me ‘protect the PL payday then Bank the parachute payments to grow the club long term and help pay for the new stadium, which we’ll play Championship football in.’ Sheffield Utd’s owner wants rid, has only given them £20m as a summer budget and has sold off their best attacker, without increasing their budget from the sale proceeds.

Then, Burnley are an unknown quantity who’s goalscoring record won’t translate to the PL, Fulham aren’t certain of keeping Mitrovic, Wolves have sold off their best two players etc.

Everton will survive due to the challenges others face as opposed to their own competence.
“Seeing these smiling faces is the greatest pleasure. They have been magnificent all season. They have been our 12th man. I have always said our fans are the best in England. Now I know they are the best in Europe too.” Rafa Benitez
