    Couple of things I am aggrieved with..

    1)Evertons underhand tactics
    2)GS not admitting he wants away

    I am just glad I love horse racing and it's honesty.

    Watford have signed midfielder Nathaniel Chalobah from Chelsea on a five-year deal for an undisclosed fee.

    Incoming. Did you have to, I know I started it but you should have left it there, now we are all going to suffer by stats. Only joking by the way roof.

    Never understood why we wanted him when we've got our own under 23's.

    because he's decent and physical and pretty technically good. Also 5m is a bargain in this market.

    I think he'll go on for to do very well for Watford and i'm terribly disappointed in my club for letting him go

    He's not what we need though and definitely not another big wage earner

    Because he is better than what we have. Still he has gone now, so we wont have to worry about buying an under23 player. That's like saying why did we sign that midfield player Messa, because we already had 4 or 5 of them.

    Just play hard ball and if they want him pay up and in one lump not on ****ing hire purchase. The yanks love cash so just can see them squeezing everything they can out of this. It is about time we showed clubs we are no longer an easy touch when it comes to cherry picking our players.

    I don't think his wages are that high but i agree, you are pretty well stocked in that area (of central midfielders). 1 thing he might be different is that he's a bit more physical than the rest of your midfielders (britton, carrol, ki, dunno about your new guy, fer will go further forward) are all quite slight whereas chalobah is quite big. He's also a pretty good passer in my opinion so he would add physicality without losing that technical ability.

    I think Chelsea have acknowledged he may be very good as i've seen wrote we put a £25m buy back clause.

    We'll see how he does

    I tend to agree with the Physical side of things and we are lacking presence there all nice footballers, but we need a bit of grit and there and thought he would have brought it. I thought Watford would always been his choice having played there and close to London. We may have never even been in for him.

    Kaplan and Levien this morning

    “As we have stated, we will not be bullied or forced into a decision until a club meets our valuation of the player, no matter whether they believe they have an agreement with the player. Any such agreement would obviously be in contravention of Premier League legislation.“We have the ultimate respect for Gylfi as a person and a player and we are optimistic that he will reconsider his decision and join his teammates"

    Worship and obey Everton, try it again and we'll slap you again bitch <laugh> <laugh> <laugh>

    Scouse press this morning

    "The Welsh side, who claim to have turned down a £40million offer for the player from Leicester City, remain insistent on the eye-watering sum, basing their valuation on the Blues reputed £50million price tag for Ross Barkley"

    But it was the Liverpool press, the Liverpool Echo and the Daily Post, who announced to the world that Vverton had made a club record offer in their first editions at dawn, yesterday morning. This after everton had tapped siggy up the previous night.

    Does seems like the Liverpool press have been told by their paymasters, that huge club everton, to cool it as Everton try to pull back from the deal. Are Everton about to renege on all the promises they'd made to Siggy?

    Everton seemed determined to continue their pursuit of Siggy by fare means or fowl but they didn't account for the absolute kicking we've given them throughout the Saga. Everton has tried everything to get their man but all they've actually got for their considerable trouble is a public slapping from us. Pretty soon these pin stripe clowns will be begging us to take £50m from them just stop the humiliation we've made them endure in front of the entire footballing world.

    The ball's firmly in their court and they way it is now they have nothing but a bad deal to look forward too.

    Either they agree to OUR demands and the football world sees them being pushed around and forced into paying out a ridiculous amount of money just to save face or they pull out, lose their man and the world sees them for what they are, not a big club, weak and for all the shouting and posturing easily slapped around and schooled by the smarter kids in the yard.

    Everton best do something and quick because the longer this goes on the more everyone is laughing at them.
