Give it to Ron

I believe they also have new owners who lumped in some funds. I understand your frustration but you only have to look at West Ham new buy to see how spending all we have on one player is a risk. The training ground , a wasteful ex CEO and 2 failed high cost transfers mean we are. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I think it's hard not to be - not many had heard of Puel and when Pellegrini was linked it was a disappointment to me when overlooked. I understand why but if we wanted a training ground manager put someone in with him like Rowett. Once again we lose good players and replaced by promising ones and fed ridiculous PR and put unnecessary pressure on young shoulders. I watched every preseason game in Holland and at SMS and the players looked uncertain and not playing to strengths. Having said all that the club are in credit and deserve until window closes to strengthen where we are weak. We all want Puel to succeed.

Hate to mention it but Messi isn't a centre forward. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

How much money does a footballer need FFS - yes its a small career but jeesh they earn far more than any sane person can spend in a month!

I cant see Gueye leaving Everton after only 2 weeks

What high horse it's a discussion forum or do I have to agree with you even though I think your wrong? If Romeu had Hojbjerg alongside him first half instead of the poor Davis and JWP then maybe we wouldn't have this chat mate. Anyway gone off on a tangent back to signings?

How many chances did Watford create .? Oh and Capoeu the one who put it in row zz 50 yards wide was impressive? Romeu was one of the better players preseason. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

If you want to know watch the video from the Spurs game last season where Wanyama couldn't be arsed and Dembele strolled around unchallenged Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

So Romeu has half a bad game and you would swap him .....Romeu was very good last season covering for the often missing Wanyama. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Would he also be at training today? Would the club want him there if this was the case? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Because I don't think they do. Hojberg proves there are good players out there. Just season has started and the usual exodus has left us weaker at the moment with no indication of incomings to cover weak positions or injury cover. Benteke offer of 23m turned down why don't we offer 24? :-) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Interesting training photos today still no Bertrand Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Thanks for the tip I have a great lawn now. These guys certainly know their stuff told me straight away had an infestation of leather jackets! Dug a bit of turf and found some -the scarifying and reseed looks bad but bloody hell it now looks better than when returfed. It's not cheap at £20 a month but they really are good and helpful.

Everton approached Lyon for Ghezzal....oh you mean us. :-) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

No he wasn't he made a few mistakes but considering who had to cover first half am not surprised. If you think he was rubbish what were Davis and JWP then? How many chances did Watford create through our midfield? If you had watched him cover the back four multiple times. Goal was a combination of letting winger cross not closing down, Deeney good header an Oriol ball watching. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Good move for him wasn't going to make it here. Wish him well Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Maybe but not when you have sold your 2 best forwards already we need strength and depth for all the games we have. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I have been raving about Hojbjerg (well since I learnt to spell his name right) all pre-season was so disappointed for him not to start so all is not bad at the moment. Think he is going to be a real favourite this season - Redmond just needs the publicity taken away and let him progress in the shadow - he can do it I like him a lot he has pace and works hard. Get in that other midfield/forward and he will come good. As I said we have been 2 players away so often going back to Keegan when we finished second when another player may have seen us win it! I think if we get Bertrand back as well we will see us better going forward - Target did well but lacks pace taking on last defender. 2 more signings and we will be better :-)

Thanks for thoughtful post shame the idiot above#60 can't see that some have opinions other than rose coloured specs. I hope you are right - having watched this batch of u18s up close I think we have a couple of good prospects. Good point about Pied and he is Puel go to man I guess and everyone has one just he reminds me so much of Telfer :-) not a bad thing though just that right back position has been an issue since Clyne went. Someone made the point about Valery being coached and bought along by fellow Frenchman...maybe Just we need to get in a Mane replacement and good central defender and I maybe able to relax a bit more

Is Pied an exception to that? Thats my problem and concern at the moment - I see parallels from when we went down in 2005 we recruited for the squad and not for the first team - maybe an over reaction and on top of 2 abysmal friendlies and a first half on Saturday. Is Pied anything other than competent based on his record and couple of games so far - not writing him off just is he a top 8 right back? Fans have the right to be worried at the moment - yes we should have faith in the club - however it wont take much to undo what has been achieved. Again I support the academy ideal but they have to be good enough - ours are not for the premiership. I think we are just 2 good signings away from being there...but I have been saying that for years now! Sorry for the rubbish above its just I don't like what I am seeing at the moment - the players don't look happy - the players dont seem to fit this formation - we are not using our players like Long and Austin to their best ability. An injury to VVD and we are buggered - was concerned he looked so ****ed off Saturday he decided to play midfield for a bit :-) A couple of additions always raises the expectations and hopes again but need to be done soon

I wouldn't be surprised after pre-season - watching him chase(and failing) a full back all the way to half way line and get abysmal service he must be sooo p1ssed off especially with this formation we are now playing. Charlie is a box predator to not play him there is a waste of his talents.

Problem both Redmond and Romeu have is that they are not Mane and Wanyama....we had same with Morgan when he went and had months of stupid posts about Morgan sized holes in our midfield. Its not Redmond's fault he has been stupidly set up to fail "new Henry" my arse...the lad has to be given time and didn't need that pressure added but he won't be by our fanbase. We need to recruit a Mane replacement and let Redmond grow into that role and be the Juanmi replacement. Redmond just tried too hard on his debut but second half was decent.
