Dougie was keen on Anotine Semenyo. And Ollie Watkins. And Morgan Rogers. And Ezri Konsa. And Jarrod Bowen. And Ademola Lookman. Common theme as to why these transfers never happened.
Good thread, nice to read as I've been feeling pretty despondent despite knowing that we were the better team on the day. We are cursed at Goodison Park. Surprised on your Lacroix takeaway - I remember thinking at half time how good he looked! I still want to see him at CB with Guéhi at LCB.
Tell you what, though: The three points we do have could easily have been zero as well. Chelsea and Man Utd should have put us to bed, and we were a minute away from losing against Leicester.
Woke up still pissed off about my football club. We are so back.
Our leader being totally reactive based on a few games? Surely not.
When I think of the players he’s wanted that we weren’t able to get I could weep. Often it’s because… others… won’t agree to pay.
Also… McNeill, Jack Harrison, N’Diaye would all be better than what we have in AMR.
Actually there is someone available who ticks a lot of his boxes… ✅ Sentimental links to Palace ✅ Managed England ✅ Safety-first football
Me too. But do you back our chairman to think of anyone else?
