The Everton Forum • Pre-Season Shouts
With the weekend being a total shitfest and the first signs of Moyes out creeping into the match-day thread, is it time for an amnesty of our pre-seasom shouts? What was your position early August... that you can quote if challenged? Persoanally..
Got it right...
Keane ... I was pro Keane, a no brainer to resign, best 4th choice CB available etc etc.
Alcaraz.. from day 1 I've been sold on him and he needs to be starting over KDH for me now.
Dibling.. I was of the opinion that, sure... he might be great....based on zero evidence... but for the money we were paying, its a mad gamble over more pressing needs elsewhere. Yet to be proven right but... well... we'll see.
DCL - I didn't want to see a new contract, because he wont score and he'll get injured. Early days and he is still making the 1st 11 at Leeds without breaking down, but he just doesnt score enough and never will.
Hold my hands up...
Grealish - I cant remember being particularly vocal about it but my immediate thoughts were no. When we signed him I thought fuck it yes I'm in but can't say I was sold on it until I saw him in the shirt.
Beto - I've been a vocal supporter of him through the summer, I felt he had earned his chance. But he's not good enough and he wont ever be and its now being amplified by how good our wingers are at putting goals on a plate for him each week, that he's shitting the bed over on a regular basis.
