I completely agree it’s that big game goal that we need , scoring goals in general won’t be a problem. Be interesting how Torres develops in that respect through this season though, he seems a very confident lad.The real issue is scoring one goal winner in key games except for Sterling anyone could have grabbed a goal in the last game before you know it you’ve hit double figures. Haaland Kane score the goal that wins a game. Priceless need to throw the wallet at the Haaland chance now
100% this - the team was just not ready for the Spurs game. Last season showed it's always how you finish a season not how you start - I remember Everton fans thinking this is our year when they were top after 5 games.Not sure you can read too much into the Spurs game. First game of season, little prep time, lots of rust and key players missing.
Changed his name to Elton cos of his love of that piano player. Very cheesy.Elton welsby sounds like a posh cheese
As we know we also finished last season badly losing some when we needed only a few points to confirm PL win.100% this - the team was just not ready for the Spurs game.

Keane is Elton Welsby’s canine relationship adviser.Yep...just took a quick look at his twitter feed and someone has asked him if it is still happening. For some reason he still believes something will happen
Why he believes roy keane of all people would know anything is beyond me
There are levels of distaste. A footballer using his talent should be rewarded.I know what you mean, but when was professional football ever tasteful?
I guess, although once you know you've more or less won the league the intensity can drop a bit, such are the fine margins at the top level. Only problem last season was we lacked that one killer moment in the CL final. I have high hopes that we can go one further this year or next.As we know we also finished last season badly losing some when we needed only a few points to confirm PL win.
Add to that the Spurs start I feel relieved our form has turned for the better.
Yep, agreed. I guess it’s just about percentages, whoever the player is, but when the numbers are this big, it’s hard not to see it as distasteful.There are levels of distaste. A footballer using his talent should be rewarded.
I am sure a great agent will have the best connections and get the best deal for his client. But the numbers they pull in for that far outweighs the beneficial effect on the player.
Liberace ?Changed his name to Elton cos of his love of that piano player. Very cheesy.
meanwhile, another player rejects spurs. (moriba)
I completely agree with this. And that’s got nothing to do with £10 at 66-1 for him to be the league’s top scorer that I put on in June.I think we just need to trust Torres. He's improving every game he plays. I was a big critic as I didn't see him as a striker, at Valencia he didn't show any striker instincts. But now watching him for us he knows where to be in the box, his runs in behind are getting better. His finishing is brilliant.
I would love a striker to come in, but if we make our own with Ferran and he stays and becomes our legend and becomes that 20 goal a season striker I think it will be even better.
Plus what he shared on his instagram has made me want him to be that striker for us even more
hhahahhahahahahahhahaI completely agree with this. And that’s got nothing to do with £10 at 66-1 for him to be the league’s top scorer that I put on in June.
EvertosWho does this Calvert Lewis play for mate?
Because his client may not move for 4 five years so that's 1 payment over that time. He may never move again but it's the price to have to pay to these super agents. I wouldn't do it for just anyone but he's a special playerHow has it come to be that agents' recompense is so excruciatingly inflated for the work they do?
4m is a lot for 1 transfer. 40m??? It's just distasteful.
When they caught the bus to training and ran round Manchester to keep fit.I know what you mean, but when was professional football ever tasteful?
