Summer transfer, gossip, speculation and the usual butter ollocks thread

Think this is Lansbury's last season at least

Thanks goodness for that.  Absolute rubbish. Cheers Bruce.

Be good to know how long some of them have on their contracts. Kalinić, Taylor and Lansbury for example can’t have long left surely?

Kalinic must be one of the worst flops in the history of the club.

It's a very competitive field though.

By which hopefully you mean autumn, rather than 2020/21

2 years ago tonight, Glenn Whelan was missing a 97th minute penalty at home to Preston in a 3-3 draw in a poor Steve Bruce team. We've come a long way in a relatively short amount of time. Of course the depth of squad needs working on but Rome wasn't built in a day.

That game, cabbage-gate was surreal. We should have been 4 or 5 up. Then Chester got sent off and we completely fell apart without any centre backs. Until a late comeback and impossibly a peno at the death to win it. Somehow Whelo had to take it and of course missed. Mark Bunn in goal was horrendous, Bruce had dropped Nyland for it.

£23m for someone that's played 26 first team games, I assume Liverpool will be retiring his shirt.

[eamonn]

I can't believe Yannick Bolasie is still at Everton. He's probably on twice as much as Lansbury which makes me feel better about our 'H'.

And I bet he hasn’t started many of those 26

Watkins looks an amazing deal in comparison

[PeterWithesShin]

I still can't get over that the fitter Bolasie got with us, the worse he played.

Was it ever established who the main protagonist was in the cabbage throwing?

Just some fella that had it in his bag having got a few bits before the game I read, then when he saw Bruce he couldn't stop himself. Apparently more of a roll than a hurl.

Or Arsenal with Martinez!

I think it's safe to talk about this now.
I know the cabbage chucker. He didn't take it in he got it from someone on the catering staff. He asked him for spuds but for reasons unknown he brought him a cabbage. He intended to throw the spuds in front of the dugout but because a cabbage could cause some damage he just rolled it. I don't know what point he was trying to make but the guys a bit barmy so we'll never know.

Ha, that's ace. Somehow it creates more questions than it answers ...
