    I saw him get booked, but it wasn't really clear what he did to deserve it. Any ideas?

    Tottenham Hotspur’s participation in a two-legged Europa Conference League play-off means our away game originally scheduled for Saturday August 28 will now be played on Sunday August 29, with a 2pm kick-off.

    Half decent yes - but I think we need full decent players. Which is why I think there are a few more to go. If we can land the guy from Sporting Lisbon and the guy from River Plate then a couple of contentious names may well leave.

    On the subject of River Plate guy - I see that Rangers are hoping to sign him too. Wouldn't their noses be out of joint if we beat them to it, as well as sign Kamara from them...<laugh>

    Great a bit of pace and trickery, seems like he can operate across the front 3. We were never going to be splash out on an expensive striker after a season in the Champ and the non-success of Isac and AG.

    Bummer, maybe worth a punt though.

    With the acquisition of Dennis the menace, who seems like a Ismaili Sarr clone, you have to wonder if IS is being line up for a megabucks transfer.
    I hope not, as I really like Sarr - including his moody looks ! But they won't both play. And emmanuel won't be satisfied with a bit part role, having scored 2 against Real Madrid at the bernabeu. Still, exciting times. We are making a step up !

    I guess if Sarr performs well next season he might be off anyway to a top club.....a la Richarlison

    Most likely - clubs will be keeping tabs on him but we won't sell for less than we paid.

    Everton are not a top club and have not been one since the late eighties

    In fact they are the most underperforming club in the Prem considering the money they have spent

    Like Spurs they are struggling to sign a new manager and have probably been turned down by more managers in the last two months than Watford have ACTUALLY sacked in the past 10 years

    He was part of the £400m that has got Everton from 8th to 10th in the table

    A replacement for Dave Messenger, who is moving on to pastures new it would seem. Anyone who had had any dealings with Dave would know what an asset he was for the club.

    He is not leaving the club. Agree that he has been a great point of contact.

    Dave Messenger, who has been the club’s Supporter Liaison Officer since July 2015, has moved to a newly-created EDI & Disability Access Officer role, to focus on the club's ongoing commitment to Equality, Diversity and Inclusion, particularly relating to the requirements of the Premier League Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Standard (PLEDIS) and the FA’s Football Leadership Diversity Code (FLDC). Dave will also continue to manage the club’s provision for all disabled supporters, staff members and other visitors.
