Looks like they're not offering Big Nose a new contract. SSN bloke says this is only good news for Utd as they can now go after the biggest names in football.

Big nose gets injured - contract offer still on the table, media briefed. Aren't the rags great? Contract offer withdrawn, rags can go after the top players. Aren't the rags great?

Pathetic.

I've always liked and valued Ibra up until he joined the scum. Ibra is a unique talent - and would likely have won the BD except that he was unfortunate enough to play in the same erra as Messi/Ronaldo.

At 35, how in the hell is he scoring so many goals? - why, because he's a freak of nature and remains one of the top footballers in his generation.
==============
At 35+/36 - no way I'd extend his contract either.

Love him or hate him - value him as world class as I did or not - I think his time in competitive world football is now done - USA MLS or China is where Ibra will likely land next season.

Wazza is in the press this AM - journo's suggesting he is not willing to take a pay cut and is pricing himself out of a move to Everton.

My mate who is big Everton fan is not surprised at this. The whole thing is pretty disrespectful to Everton, people assuming they will happily feed from the scraps that drop from the rags table. They have bigger ambitions and a manger that is trying to make an impact. He would much prefer a young striker that is on the way up.

Not sure how this will pan out but Wazza might be a rag quite deep into this window which would be great, especially if they keep getting snubbed.

I keep reading and hearing this, but i've yet to hear Koeman or anyone else at Everton,
say they are interested in the has-been.

I wanted to start a new thread on this but i don't seem to have permission..

Do you think we still have an inferiority complex compared to the rags and if so when do you think it'll end?

The reason I ask is that is that I regularly see comments (and I too am guilty of this) comparing us to the rags. We finish 3rd in the league or say QF of CL and instead of comments about how far we've come or that we should be aiming to win it, it's not unusual to see comments such as "well at least we finished above the rags" or "they weren't even in the CL".

How long before we really, genuinely don't care and just focus on our own selves? How long before success is measured against say real madrid rather than a team that finished 6th? We've been a big team now for a fair few years now.

It's more of a local thing bud.
Even If they/we were in League Two or whatever, I'd still find myself comparing us to them as socially in the area, that's how it is.

Makes it even more sweet now in discussion as we can consistently compete with them.

Inferiority complex?
Probably as a little kid in the 90's but most of the general public were plastic Twats anyway, just TV-fans.
Having the Champs league on national TV helped this.

Kids these days are glued to youtube and CityTV is completely free ;)
As I walk around the area I see more city shirts than ever before.

To quote the stone roses - Sally cinnamon - "the past is yours, well the futures mine"

Enjoy the ride, it's local banter, I couldn't give a fuck about any other club.
I compare City to City, and that's it.
Just Raggies for the lulz/banter
