Ah yes. This makes it even more annoying that I didn't get Burkina Faso on Flagle the other day

Not as annoying as the Heard and McDonald Islands "flag".

Is Flagle Wordle for flags?

Yep. Don't bother doing today's, it'll piss you off. There'll be another one at midnight.

Apparently we’ve been linked to Gareth Bale now!!!

Edit

I wouldn’t rely (or click) on anything from that publication.

I saw something linking us to Richarlison last night.

My gut reaction was that it was complete nonsense, as I've never seen much in him as a player. But someone pointed out he might be quite well suited to the sort of front 3 that we are going for - a Mane-type role. Life is too short to watch Everton play football, so I don't know where he's been playing for them. He gets into the Brazil team regularly though, so maybe there is more to him than I thought?

A few people suggested that Suarez might be a distraction for another forward - maybe this is it?

Don't think he wears sweatbands though, so there could be nothing in it.

I'd forgotten he even played for Villa. Double checked, he was only with us for 8 months. Must've been a Graham Turner signing.

If I remember correctly, and I usually dont, we sold him to Luton where he was keeping Paul Elliott out of the team, so we bought Elliott for a record fee.

From what I know, he's much more effective coming in from the flank as opposed to playing directly up top as he was when Calvert Lewin was out, which is what we need.

I'm not a great fan but as you say, it's not a stretch to see him fitting our needs.

There was a photo of Foster on the front cover of the News & Record which had been photoshopped before there was photoshop, and it made him look like a bit of his head was missing.

I remember him being good at Brighton and again at Luton but if I saw him play here, I dont remember it.

All the current "links" seem to be some random nobody saying "Villa should have a look at x player", ie not an actual link at all.

Don't get the Richarlison hype and they'd want stupid money. Everton are always selling players for ridiculous amounts. Get Mbappe and make Real Madrid cry, please.
