Topic: Has Klopp ever won the Greek league? Hi Ho Silva Daddy Day Care Fighting

[Mad Max]

Looks like we have Atsu, which balances out the Deulofeu loss.

Right now I'm happy with our dealings, but I still feel like we need one more attacking player on top.

Who?

[TomDixie]

Where did they get the money?

A combination of not spending everything we had last summer and our revenue increasing from £86m to an estimated £117m. I was telling a fair few of the lads in work that we'd see a big net spend this summer, as we had the money. Not many believed me.

[TomDixie]

Who?

Chelsea lad, was on loan to Vitesse last season where he apparently did rather well. I'm hoping there's an agreed price at the end of the loan deal, if he does well.

[Chakan]

If Lukaku gets injured who's the backup?

Everybody had money this summer because of the new TV deal. Cardiff got something like 72 million, which is more than Bayern Munich received from their TV deal and they won the league in Germany. If Everton hadn't spent any money this summer something would of been seriously wrong.

[TomDixie]

If Lukaku gets injured who's the backup?

As Kone is crippled in a dark room somewhere right now, probably Naismith. If not him, Mirallas.

That's why we need Lukaku to have a 20+ goals season. I wouldn't be surprised if we brought in someone like Traore on loan again (massive fella who scored 1 goal for us, then got injured).

[Chakan]

Doesn't make good reading that, 9 and 8 goals respectively.

Better wrap Lukaku in wool.

Well aren't you the smarty pants then



In any case, apart from Besic you've got pretty much exactly the same squad as last year. Atsu was good at the WC I'll give you that, but I doubt he's going to do a noticeable amount more than Deulofeu did for you. I'm sure you'll manage to bring in one or two more good loanees who you can blow next summers entire budget on though!

Aye I suppose I am  , down in London not too many seem to know much about football!

To be honest mate, it makes a fantastic change being able to retain our best talent on new deals, not losing anyone and bringing in new additions.

Just having Kone fit to throw in to lesser matches will help. Lukaku appears to do better when his playing time is managed effectively so that he retains some freshness, rather than playing every minute.

so what your saying is that at the ripe old age of 21,Lukaku needs to rest because he is so unfit he cant play week in week out ?


how unfit is he?

I don't think it's a physical fitness thing, more a mental sharpness. He seems to do better when he has little breaks now and again.

its not a great trait to have though,especially for a player that you have just spent most if not all of your budget on is it?

[B0151?]

You've got to love it when they just chat shit. Apparently we beat the Dortmund reserves. They were resting their full team for the 2-0 victory against Bayern.

Check the team-sheets, they played the same team minus 2 players

Nope - but it's outweighed by what he brings to the party.

Jelly and Ice Cream and Sausage Rolls?

Or a general lack of composure in front of goal?

[Pidalow]

Everton have a solid team with some good players. A manager who likes to play good football. I think they dont have enough quality to get top 4 though, they will be anywhere from 5ths to 8th imo. It will be interesting how they do in the Europa League. If they take it seriously they could have a decent run in it. I know Everton fans especially online have some kind of massive hatred towards us, but i hope they have a good season.

[TomDixie]

Lots of goals.

[lorenzo23]

Think you guys are too harsh on TomDixie he has been respectful since he been on and had decent replies.

Seen few of his post on GOT and compared to the rest he has half a brain. Check out their thread on us when we was about to sign Remy (rapist this and that and making jokes about rape).

Pop on their Transfer thread and they all want to sign Remy now, you really can't make this stuff up its crazy unreal the how their brains work.

They honestly down to the backbone think they are least 2/3 levels above us not close not on par few levels above.

Its going to be pleasure watching the back track this season again from them in the Liverpool thread of theirs.

Good point. You lost Fellaini though, but in hindsight I guess that doesn't count haha

Are we? I can't think of anyone who has been disrespectful to him. I personally like having him on here, it's good to have a debate with opposition fans.

GOT is a horror show full stop, there are a few decent posters I've seen but the rest are so full of hatred for us.

Much as I hate to use the word, TomDixie has had a gentle ribbing - which is what you would expect supporting them and being on here. The site rules still apply, and any personal abuse directed towards him will result in bans / warnings etc.

It is unfortunate that his comments are interspersed with quotes from the lunatic fringe from GOT (and we can forgo the follow-up comment that that is 99% of them, thank you). There is a far amount of abuse directed at them - which I personally feel is misguided - condescending pity is a far more infuriating response.

If TomDixie were to cross the line between defending his club robusting and just trolling, please report the comments to a mod using the handy links on every post. We will then deal with it.

Personally I love having opposition fans here who post in good faith - as thus far TomDixie has. The invaluable contribution that they make to RAWK is well worth the winnowing of trolls that is the cost of the open door policy.

In brief, do not abuse any poster on RAWK, no matter who they support. 

[Caston]

Why do they have a press conference for every signing?

[SP]

Why not? Each signing is a piece of positive PR. They are trying to drive season ticket sales.

Just makes me laugh 

[lorenzo23]

Sorry let me correct myself i meant harsh in contexts of his reply about his hopes for Everton. RAWK is million miles away from the treatment and vile jokes that is on Got.

[Mad Max]

A loan signing?

Little rumour going round that the Roberto Martinez/North Korean propaganda style poster on the side of Woodison was constructed/designed/whatever by a Liverpool supporting artist and that he's secretly painted 5 stars and "YNWA" somewhere into the mural.

That would be brilliant!

Who cares if its true, in fact, it is true, there I just said it, so now we can annoy them forever by saying it is and there isn't anything they can do about it.

Deulofeu getting loaned to Sevilla

They've all been saying how they have a special relationship with Barca now and were either keeping him or he was staying at Barca

I actually got told Deulofeu couldn't join them as we made it a condition of the Suarez deal.

[TepidT2O]

They might struggle a wee but more this season (he said unfashionably).

[El Ninos Black Eye]

Elstone on the radio yesterday saying how fans are going to be amazed when they come to Goodison for the first night of the season. And how Goodison will look great on the TV and the picture will be so clear.
And this is because they have had new state of the art FLOODLIGHTS installed. 

Seriously you couldn't make this shit up.  They will big up anything they can to make themselves sound good. That lot could polish shit. Although to be honest that's what they do regularly.

The insurance must have paid out from when the roof blew off last year. If it hadn't of been fer that storm, they wouldn't have new light bulbs.

[Chakan]

Forever in our shadow. We add a new section to the stadium and they add 4 floodlights.

[XabiAlonsosBeard]

We don't care that the old lights ming,
What the hell do we care?
Cos we all know, that there's gonna be a glow
Now that the new floodlights are here.
