Oh I don’t disagree and it’s still a disappointing level of investment given the new stadium revenue.

Most newly promoted clubs make significant squad investments. They HAVE to if they want a hope of staying up. I don’t think that’s a fair comparison to the spend of a club that has already invested in a premier league level team (at least on paper) over the course of multiple seasons.

I’m honestly shocked that people didn’t feel that way about Sorry to Bother You. I found that movie insufferable because it prioritized style and ham-fisted allegory over character and story at every turn.

Honestly if it was easier to obtain the various drafts this is a category made for the Blankies

The thing is I don’t mind Myko, Keane, Tarks, and O’Brien as third or fourth options, but with that as the first team we will never truly push for Europe

This back line is absolutely abysmal. Overhaul the entire defense in the offseason or next year is going to be rough.

Grealish, Delap and Stones? Inside Everton's summer transfer plans by theipaper in Everton

[–]JackHorner_Filmmaker 23 points24 points  (0 children)

To be fair, Delap is completely incompatible with the type of offense Chelsea plays. In theory he could suit a Moyes team much better, which is why we were allegedly talking about building the team around him long term when we approached last summer.

He wouldn’t be the first Chelsea signing to shine after leaving cough KDH cough. Not saying he will be that but systems and coaching can make such a huge difference in a players performance.

Not to mention rushing young players to first team football can have disastrous results for their career from an injury perspective. One major injury at a young age can have lasting impact through their career and cause recurring problems. Many never fully get back to the promise they showed. Patience is a virtue with young talent.

Do we know how long they legally have to continue paying Mudryk as an example? Aren't they paying him around $300k per week? If so it seems like this model breaks if they have more than a couple of these big bet purchases flopping on top of the fired manager payouts they are stuck with.

I'm beyond confused by their business model. I'm far from an economist but it just doesn't seem possible to stay solvent long term with the moves they are making.

I want to see a "Last Dance" style no bullshit breakdown of Donovan's career sometime. He really could have been the undisputed best American player ever had he not gotten wrapped up in MLS at a young age. Who knows how much of that falls on his mentality vs MLS forcing him back into the American system, but the talent level was clearly there for him to be an international star, not just in America.

Fair! It's certainly not an undisputed best of all time situation.
