Rondon would probably live up here, he loves the place. But I very much doubt he'll play for Newcastle again though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if we do get Willock we're not really down on last season. Technically we still have Woodman and Watts available to so you could argue we are up. It's still not near enough when you see the amount Hendrick and Gayle have had to play in preseason mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trooper 940 Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 BBC Sports gossip Everton are interested in Newcastle United's English midfielder Sean Longstaff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Polarboy 2124 Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 Gray, Townsend, Begovic, and maybe after Longstaff. In fairness to Everton fans I'd be pretty fucked off with their transfer business so far. Not that we are pulling up any trees obviously, but at least Willock's signing is an exciting prospect for the future. Of course maybe Rafa can work his magic on Longstaff again and turn him back into the player who Man U were looking at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayatollah Hermione 12733 Posted August 10, 2021 Author Share Posted August 10, 2021 I think Townsend is there to put balls on the head of Calvert-Lewin and Richarlison and then Gray is a decent back-up for £2 million IYAM. Longstaff from Sigurdsson is a bit of a downgrade but at the same time, the former isn’t an alleged wrong ‘un Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Polarboy 2124 Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 (edited) Yeah but they are at best sideways moves, if not backward ones when you consider that James is likely on his way out. There is literally no excitement about any of those signings, at least at present. The only hope is if that Rafa can get Townsend and Longstaff playing as well as they did under him. And of course Everton fans were only a short while ago under the impression that they were in the big time with Ancellotti and an owner who supposedly has big pockets. I can only assume that the pandemic has hit the clubs finances hard. Then again I thought fair play rules were more or less suspended at present.

Ayatollah Hermione 12733 Posted August 10, 2021 Author Share Posted August 10, 2021 Aye, I think the reality is that they’ve overspent on absolute shite in recent years and James will be on some wage packet. I think they have the core of a good team; good keeper, solid centre halves, great left back, two quality strikers and Allan and Doucoure are two players that Rafa will absolutely get the best out of. Not a lot of depth but I think they’ll have a good season, wouldn’t shock me to see them finish above a Kane-less Spurs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Polarboy 2124 Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 Where Everton and Spurs finish will be interesting, but I wouldn't bet against Espirito Santo. He at the very least has better squad depth at Spurs if not flat our a better squad compared to Wolves, and if Kane leaves it looks like they'll be spending the money on Vlahovic or Martinez. If they get one of those two along with Son, who's obviously a quality player, and Nuno gets Dele Ali into some form, which wouldn't surprise me, then Spurs could have a surprisingly decent season.
