Sanchez has been poo poo and moody for half the season. I'm surprised he's on the list tbh.

quote:

Lukaku's future at Everton is in doubt following an interview he gave last month in which he said he has already decided his plans for the end of the season.

Speaking ahead of Everton's Premier League game against Burnley at the weekend, Koeman said the Belgium international, who is contracted until 2019, will not sign a new deal making a transfer a strong possibility.

When asked if he was aware of the striker's plans he added: "No. He told me he won't sign a new contract."


RIP Everton.

When he left us I though Everton wasn't as big of a step up as he should be taking. At least he got some decent playing time though.

this all sounds about right

quote:

The Sun has suspended Kelvin MacKenzie after Merseyside police said they were investigating a column in which he compared the footballer Ross Barkley, who is of mixed race, to a gorilla.

The paper’s former editor, who writes a weekly column, claimed he was not surprised that the Everton player, whose grandfather is Nigerian, was punched in a nightclub because he was similar to an animal in a zoo.

The paper removed the article from their website on Friday afternoon and later suspended MacKenzie. News UK, the owners of the Sun, said: “The views expressed by Kelvin MacKenzie about the people of Liverpool were wrong, unfunny and are not the view of the paper. The Sun apologises for the offence caused. The paper was unaware of Ross Barkley’s heritage and there was never any slur intended. Mr MacKenzie is currently on holiday and the matter will be fully investigated on his return.”

Merseyside police confirmed they had launched an investigation in relation to the column after receiving an online complaint from a member of the public alleging that “comments written about a third party constituted a racial hate crime”.

It's a really weird one this. You have to assume that Kelvin MacKenzie of all people is media-savvy as gently caress, but it's so obviously a misjudged and oddly hate-filled hit piece on a young player that doesn't have a bad reputation, and the city of Liverpool itself (again). Obviously he knows that he's never going to be anything but a hate figure in Liverpool so is happy to put the boot in to appeal to team rest of his audience. But who does he think is reading that and loving it, and not going to be appalled by it? The only conclusion is that this ugly, small-minded and racist column was written for its target audience, Manchester United fans.

While his statements about Barkley were probably racist the parts about liverpool are spot on

I don't think the heritage was common knowledge so there doesn't seem to be a case to answer here, and I speak as someone with Barkley in his fantasy team. Fantasy football I mean, nothing sexual.

I agree that Barkley and most English prospects are like gorillas because the British youth system prizes physical attributes over mental competency and doesn't ever seem to want to fix massive flaws in their games for fear of damaging their footballing "instinct".

Barkley & Stones are the same fuckups they were as 18 year olds. Alli will always be a dirty little poo poo.
