The whole world smiles Posted 29 August 2021 Share Posted 29 August 2021 21 minutes ago, Ric Flair said: We aren't the traditional top 6 though? No but as mentioned above since Rodgers took over we have won the same amount of games as Chelsea so have become direct rivals to them in terms of league position in that time. The big 6 is just a benchmark to see if historically they sell or loan their player to their direct league position rivals. I wasn't saying they definitely haven't I just don't remember an instance.

Dahnsouff Posted 29 August 2021 Share Posted 29 August 2021 10 minutes ago, The whole world smiles said: Was I arguing that they won't sell players to West ham then? There's a big difference in selling a fringe player at a hugely inflated fee to a side who's had one good season and loaning us Odoi. Since Rodgers took over (a period spanning 4 season now) we have won exactly the same amount of leauge games as Chelsea! Exactly! And we just beat them in a major final. Of course Chelsea see us as direct competition and won't be loaning us their players any time soon. That's how it works mate. Chelsea don’t see us or West Ham as challengers, be serious. Anyway, would be more likely we could get Dan James now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rigga Posted 29 August 2021 Share Posted 29 August 2021 It was supposedly our key position to fill even last season.. we have obviously had plenty of difficulty finding the right man. not a chance we sign anyone now this late in the window.. disappointing in all honesty , especially as we have let Gray and Sowah go.

Verumex Posted 29 August 2021 Share Posted 29 August 2021 11 hours ago, Genesis1 said: Under and Gray scored again today. Am I missing something. They have 5 goals between them so far in 2 games each and both looked pretty decent doing so. Under was always offensively good, even if he was a bit too keen to impress leading to trigger happy shots that came to nothing. It was his defensive workrate and fitness levels that kept him out the team. So it's not surprising seeing him scoring in a slower paced league. Gray's resurgence makes a lot of sense too, as he's being played in his more comfortable position of LW, which we didn't towards the end, as we had Barnes. Pair that with the fact that Gray trying to establish himself as a 1st team player has always been a incredible, and you've got his current form. I fully expect his form to plummet the moment he feels comfortable in the Everton squad, and when he starts to believe he's undroppable, although I hope I'm wrong, I do want to see him succeed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The People's Hero Posted 29 August 2021 Share Posted 29 August 2021 Stengs went for only 15mn euros and isn't on silly money. He's always thrived with a quick striker and Vardy/Daka would have loved it. Can play either flank and not on silly wages (signed for OG Nice) I should let this one go, probably.

Steve Earle Posted 29 August 2021 Share Posted 29 August 2021 Interesting footnote in Romano's piece in the Guardian on West Ham's prospective purchase of Vlasic. Reports that Lingard is available for £25m, but Moyes thinks Vlasic, 5 years younger, represents better value. I'd take Lingard, even at that price, if a sensible structure could be agreed.

Edingleyfox Posted 29 August 2021 Share Posted 29 August 2021 Interesting that Rodgers has not specified that we will be signing a winger but we know it will be an attacking midfielder. Makes we wonder about Lingard although United might not want to sell to us. If we could afford Damsgaard that would be even better but Liverpool may be in for him and the cost will be sky high.

Rodgers will have noted that two of our four goals came from attacks down the right and another was scored by our right winger. He perhaps is more concerned about the left side.

Realistically though we aren't going to sign a starting level left winger when we have Barnes - even though he has been underwhelming these first few games he deserves the right to get back up to speed, and it would be silly to bring someone else in 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed I think the super agent played a big role though… either way I’m still surprised people on here were slagging him off when he played us!
