As a high-functioning Everton supporter

Seconded

Not like he is Maradona going to Napoli (I wish!) but hope he applies himself twice a week, stays injury free, and gets the service he deserves.

29 is a dangerous age. Wasn't Joe Cole that when we got his transfer to Liverpool?

I would have thought 10/3 a decent price; granted more chance of Manchester United transforming from an ugly duckling to a swan but I have noticed high-expectations turn to free-fall when safety is reached and United always shoulder higher expectations, pre-season.

Then Man Utd would have to be priced at prohibitive odds c 1/8 -

United fans would prefer to back their team against Chelsea at odds against, I imagine. Everyone hopeful pre-season.

He bought Paul scholes old house.presume he ll be off to the warren or Wirral now.

Ah, Jimmy Corkhill... an absolute legend back in the day.   Hope he's still with us.   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r_eNLC5yZ0I

Sofa - Dean Sullivan who played Jimmy passed away in November 2023 aged 68. Had been diagnosed with prostate cancer a few years earlier.

Jimmy was most peoples favourite character from Brookside i think although i did like the nasty gangster with the speech impediment s-s-s-Sizzler

Confirmed, welcome aboard Jack.

shd have got ratchford

Too expensive i think Dragon. Rashford and Grealish on similar wages, as i understand it Barca are paying all of Rashfords whereas EFC only paying part of Jack's.

Dibling does look promising Mr S but not sure he's worth the kind of cash they are demanding.

Not a great fan of Rashford.

Very few English players of outstanding promise have the brain to realise full potential. Their heads get turned.

I think Pep was trying to tell Jack before he gave up on him. “Cop yourself on. I know what a world class player looks like: I coached Messi. “ Who never quite secured his place in history until he won the World Cup.  So many English players think their the dog’s b***ocks at 20 and never get any better.  But Moyes/Grealish: I can see that working.

personally i think rashford has loads of ability wether hes gone at tthe game is another matter, cd be wrong but didnt he do well under moyes at man u?

I've seen J.G. up close a good few times and I honest thought he was mediocre at best.

came on a sub when i camd down to watch last season SB. made more impression running up and down the touch line

maybe moyes can work his magic on him

question is what did he contribute to that lot dixie?

Quite a bit Dragon,

Premier League winning seasons - 74 appearances ( 11 goals)
FA Cup win - 5 appearances including the final
Champions League win - 13 appearances including the final

pep obviously has a problem with him

i think u got a snip if he performs like he can.

if is the big word.

i hope he does well apart from when he plays liverpool

Just fell out of favour with Pep Dragon, these things happen. City had a poor year last year by their standards and yet Jack didn't play much, very weird.

Thing is that perspective is needed here, EFC have been criticised (quite rightly) for paying over the odds for unproven players in the past that turned out to be duds.

So its a relief to finally see them rein that in. They have just signed a talented player on loan with loads of experience and winners medals in the cabinet.
Yes they have to pay a chunk of his wages, but no transfer fee. What's not to like ? If it doesn't work out then so be it.

Having seen some of the obscene amounts of money being chucked around by other clubs for various Carlos Kickaball's that most of us have never heard of, i am fairly happy with the new blood that the club has brought in.

Aston Villa Grealish was one of the best players in EPL.

Maybe he had some refuelling issues, but if he
overcomes them then he's a great signing, and probably
still a good one, with refuelling issues.
