This is quite a season.

 

Cole Big money from Bristol

 

... happens ... you've paid similar wage levels over the same period, I'm sure... but won **** all ... you win ... you've stayed in the Premier League - your fan base must be buzzing

... and guess what - the year we won the title, our wage bill was half yours ... and a quarter of United's... suck it up...

 

He was no Gylfi Siggurdsson ... the statement signing that would propell the Toffees ... errrr ... sideways

 

Amorim taking it back to the basics here

 

I’m a big believer that if you score a goal then the other team need to score twice to win.

 

The key transfers in the Keegan era were Brian Kilcline and Rob Lee, both signed for small amounts when we were in the second tier.

 

It's almost like goals help you win a game or something.

 

For us - Wes Morgan £500k, Riyadh Mahrez £450k and Kaspar Schmeichel £1 million ... all while we were in the second tier ...

 

hold on a minute……

It’s all relative. Spunked out loads of money and were relegated.

not spent loads and this year look well set for relegation.

 

was it a couple of million….a record transfer for Newcastle

 

When we were all but guaranteed promotion.

Can you try talking about the signings of Rob Lee, John Beresford and Barry Venison in that season as well?

 

don’t really know that much about Newcastle to be fair. Sure they were not cheap signings for divisions 2 teams.

 

After winning the PL title (which you haven't) and the FA Cup - which you last won so long ago that it predates the current top English league ...

Relegation ain't death mate - but merely surviving in the PL as your biggest achievement since 1992 is the equivalent of being on a footballing life support machine ... just existing with little joy

 

That's been apparent for a while.

 

Nah ... that ****s his tenuous narrative ... he'd rather discuss the trophy enabling signings of Sigurdsson, Rodriguez and Richarlison

 

Ouch!

 

We once held the British record signing - Allan Clarke, £150k from Fulham in 1968 - true dat - only time

 

Everton have won the FA Cup in the PL era mate.

 

Quite a reach in the context of the conversation, but knock yourself out pal
