One thing for certain is it will look & feel very different. Updated current squad (as per official website); Leo Fasan David Mitchell Robbie Mutch Tom Dallison Jordan McGhee Tommy Robson Aaron Muirhead Jonny Mitchell (Y) Mark Munro (Y) Kyle Mitchell (Y) Patrick Brough Joe McKee Lewis Kidd Alex Harris Cameron Blues Cieran Dunne (Y) Jason Jarvis (Y) Dennon Lewis Kevin O’Hara Rory Loy Scott Shepherd Kieran Sweeney (Y) Aiden Laverty (Y) Ones in bold I think won’t be here come the end of the window if The Don had his way. I would say we need a right back, 2 centre mids, attacking midfielder\winger type and 2strikers if we somehow offload Loy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 12, 2018 Share Posted June 12, 2018 I disagree about things getting out. I keep a close eye out for this because as one of the people who always knows signings in advance, I hate stories being leaked in case it throws suspicion on me. The majority take people by surprise though. For example, I was given the names on Sunday of the players who'd verbally agreed to join us. Nobody got Fasan before he was announced and so far none of the others have appeared online either, despite Keithgy's hints to the contrary. I agree we have canaries but at the moment they seem to be either muzzled or marginalised. Not sure about the strips. I know the stock wasn't coming in until June so I assume it's a Puma supply issue rather than deliberate choice by the club. Only an idiot would delay the arrival of a sought-after item and I'm sure you'll agree that LB doesn't come into that category. Oh, and I followed up your director advice re the Sibbald deadline. It didn't happen. There were no dates missed, no failures to deliver documents, nothing. Everything was done as it should have been. Either that or I'm being lied to by several directors and club staff who have very good reason to know. I'm open to being persuaded otherwise but you'll have to name names if you want me to consider it. Ok then. Directors are not admitting to you they fucked up. I get it. Personally I don’t believe them. But hey ho. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuperman01 Posted June 12, 2018 Share Posted June 12, 2018 Ok then. Directors are not admitting to you they fucked up. I get it. Personally I don’t believe them. But hey ho. RE the strips, Kieran confirmed at the meet the manager event this was a stock issue with genesis and they didn’t want to be in a situation like last year when they ran out early. Albeit there was more interest from fans buying it for the playoffs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hornby is utter fantasy, the guy is one of the highest rated players in the Everton under 23 squad. Not a chance of him signing, especially with the buttons we are offering players. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the midfielders in particular would be a real coup - even from the point of view of the money we could make from the number of letters on the back of his shirt!

The question that should be asked of, and answered by, your masters at the club is why, a year after consigning Sibbald to the stand for the first month of the season because they refused to countenance him signing a straight one year contract and walking away for nothing this summer, they are now apparently happy for that precise scenario to play out. No-one gives a toss about you being persuaded otherwise. In any organisation where transparency is not a dirty word, they would be providing that explanation to their "customers", especially if, as you claim, they have nothing to hide. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I already answered that one AG. The CEO wanted that clause in place so that if Sibbald had a stormer of a season last year the club couldn't be in the position this summer where they lost him for nothing. Then they appointed a new manager. A new manager for whom transfer money was less important than having a player who was committed to the club. Hartley's mentioned his reasoning in public several times so it seems to me extremely transparent. The only reason to disbelieve that is if you think PH is lying. That's possible. As is BPM's subtle hint that the directors are also lying. I wouldn't claim to know otherwise as the only way to prove it one way or the other would be to show us the documentation, which would breach all sorts of confidentiality and data protection rules. So we'll never know for sure. Even a statement from Sibbald himself wouldn't be conclusive, though if he and several others were who had reason to know were to put their opinions on record it would make a compelling case. It all depends on who you believe. I choose to believe that club staff I've spoke to are telling the truth. Hey ho, as BPM said. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I haven’t got my head round any of that stuff either, but surely the only relevant point in the Sibbald ‘debate’ is he wanted to leave. Anything else is immaterial now imo.... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sgt Bilko Posted June 12, 2018 Share Posted June 12, 2018 Hopefully sign some unknown random midfielder this week so we can put this Sibbald business to bed. Just like what's been previously said, we'll never find out exactly. He wanted away last year and by the sounds of it this year too. Been good in patches over the years, but not irreplaceable. We need to move on. Onwards and upwards hopefully. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like you’d be the person that if you had met a woman/man (who am I to judge?) and they called it off after a few dates, you’d be stalking them for weeks on end wanting to know ‘a truthful explanation’. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
