You're happy with these as our homegrown group?

Austin, Davies, Forster, Johnson, Madison, Sessegnon, Skipp, Whiteman

You don't think we could do with replacing one or two of them?

Why the actual fucking fuck would you replace Maddison??

I disagree. Maddison is our most important player bar none. We have to find someone who can replicate what he does for us.

He can receive and keep us ticking from deep a la a 6 of the past while also being our best creator, dribbler, dead ball specialist, releasing through balls and making runs himself.

We lack that element without him, he effectively can play all of the phases of build up at an elite level. Eze has that too, he’s a full creative engine for Palace, we mustn’t place so much responsibility on Madders.

But no, you and Starks Starks and the like would rather laugh and insult me constantly because you don’t like my phrasing. I’m making important, cogent points here. I have standards of winning the Premier League and challenging for the CL and refuse to drop them.

Nah fuck em, if they did wrong they need to be punished - The 10 point deduction sent warning signs out to to the rest of the PL and those clubs haven't spent much as a result which benefits us so as far as I'm concerned anyone caught cheating can get to fuck, everyone should run their club properly like we have been doing.

I listened to the Sirrus Football Show interview with a Scouse newspaper reporter in the week.

He was full of telling the traditions, history and success that Everton have had over the last half century or so, the Joe Royals, Alan Balls, Lineker's and the like and was using this as an excuse to justify their points deduction being overturned.

Their history was good for the PL should overcome any penalties handed down, if you like.

Self entitled cunts like him didn't say a word about any of the three relegated sides, one that may have survived relegation had Everton remained within FFP guidelines.

It's always ignorance of the laws and regulations that get used as an excuse.

I truly hope Everton get another ten fucking point deduction for alleged other offences.

This should hopefully once and for all send a clear message out to other teams including the oil rich slags in the blue half of Manchester.

That's the list of home grown players currently in the squad

We could do with replacing one or two of those homegrown players, no?

But why would you include Maddison in the list?
It makes absolutely no sense whatsoever that he's there.
I'm not sure why you're focusing on replacing just home grown players either. We could just as easily replace a foreign player with a homegrown player. Gil would be a great start.
Maddison doesn't need to be anywhere near this mental meth induced list.
 
Sort of related but how df have dippers completely nullified and dominated bmouth away with so many players out and youngsters like Bradshaw , Elliot and jones? Solanke didn’t have a sniff. Dippers missing first choice FBs, salah and midfield of youngsters. One thing I notice is how hard they work off the ball and are pretty relentless with high energy and intensity.
Just may be we should show a little faith in our own youngsters. Klopp seems to get them all fired up.

The quality of our home grown players could be drastically improved upon. Maddison is one of those in that list as in, he's homegrown.

Having 3 keepers, while that goes along way to circumnavigate the European homegrown rules, it's not very much in the way of firepower to draw from the bench

hence me saying; we could do with replacing one or two of those

Give it a rest..... It's glaringly obvious why people baulked at your OG post..........

If you failed to articulate yourself appropriately to begin with; that's on you.

Oh yeah don’t think solanke is worth a punt at £50M. Dippers defence didn’t give him a sniff.

Having both Austin and Whiteman on the list, both of whom could be the 3rd GK but not both (the other will be loaned out - couldn't this season as Whiteman injured), so in reality we start with Austin and Skipp of the 4 Club trained players we need to have a full squad - so max we can have now is 23 players plus u21's

Forster is on the list on merit as he's a decent back up GK, last in England squad about a year ago and proved a very able back up at end of last season when Lloris gave up.
