If you go by the record would you not say they are a good team, masquerading as an average team. Otherwise they are just an average team :lol:

The buyout is cheap but Barca have to give him at least one season in their first team squad and then if they were to sell him Everton have first refusal or a % of any sale. Basically if they want to get more money for Deulofeu it would probably just be easier doing a deal with us.

He was partly at fault as was Stones but it's not just that game but in general. When Robles plays the whole defence looks more solid. Most of the fans blame Martinez and the whole team isn't mediocre. Lukaku, Stones and Barkley are probably going to get sold for around 150m and then we also...

When did this turn into the Tim Howard thread ;) Look he's crap. Practically every Everton fan will tell you that. End of story.

Howard is a decent shot stopper however he is horrible on crosses and his kicking is poor but the main issue is that he is guaranteed to make a howler once every 2 or 3 games. Our record with Robles in goal compared to Howard is scary. This is from last season (around February) but things...

You obviously don't watch a lot of Everton and I'm not getting into a Martinez debate but suffice to say your opinion is the minority with anyone who watches us play. Case in point. Barkley is having a fantastic season even if he had a poor game yesterday.

Everton fans seem to think it has a lot to do with that clown we have as a goalkeeper who keeps costing us goals and points every game.

I think he has the talent. Unfortunately Martinez is ruining him. If Pep goes to City and wants him then he should go there.

Good game today. The pundits gave him Man of the Match and considering which is very rare since considering we were the losing team.

I think he's out of our price range now. Everton may have been interested in the summer because there was a chance we could get him for less than his buyout but now there's no chance of that and we wouldn't spend 30m Euros on a CM even one that is worth a lot more. I wouldn't however worry...

I was not laughing :banghead:

His age should definitely be taken into consideration. From what I have seen I think he's the real deal too and I don't see any reason why people think he wouldn't fit into Barca's system.

Cashflow a problem for Barca?

Those 3 were central to sides that have won the champions league. They were hardly poor players. Just because they never did it at the international level doesn't discount what they did at club level. Even Messi hasn't done much at international tournaments.

But what do you gain? A free kick within your own box when the opposition team is pressing you will probably just result in booting it away anyway. However if he gets dispossessed then it will almost certainly lead to a goal. I like when I see Stones go past a few players because it takes them...

Serious question. I know Barca "play that way" but in that specific case are you saying you would want him to do Cruyff turns 6 yards from his own goal?

I think he's developing really well. We are starting to see him play more for the team this season and even do a job defensively. Although he's still very raw.

I like the way he told the crowd to calm down after he did that. Honestly at times I just want him to put his foot through it.

Unfortunately I don't disagree with a lot that is said. Unfortunately Martinez is blinded by his loyalty to a couple of senior players who frankly look finished at this level and are a large part of the reason why we have become so soft. Unfortunately Barry just doesn't have the legs anymore to...

Yannik did.
