I don't really rate him. He has had an amazing season in the Czech league, but it's a totally different pace than in the PL. He is already 30 and he doesn't run as fast as he did. He was a really fast player 10 years ago, was in Chelsea's Academy, then on loan to some important clubs. Is much more intelligent now, but has lost his stamina. He is very short and in 1-on-1 duels can't really compete, when he sprints he can only do so for a short distance because of his height and low center of gravity and often doesn't keep up with younger and more agile players. Went to PAOK Salonic this summer for a few million, he had played there before with good results. They won the league in Greece, first time in many years when someone other than Olympiakos wins it and will try to get into the Champions League groups. It will be hard. Let alone winning the leage again. Olympiakos has transferred Valbuena, Soudani, Randjelovic and El Arabi, all better than Stock in my opinion. I have to ask, why Stoch? I found the question a bit odd. Do you like him a lot? Or seen him recently? Someone mentioned him to me. Thank you very much for your opinion on the player. Edited by Willo (20 Jul 2019 11.59am)

If rumours are true Everton will hold out for £10 m so fingers crossed that will be the end of this one.

Given Everton paid that for Delph who has had regular game time in the last two years shows what a bad deal this would be. If a player has played 1 game in 18 months you would surely be mad to pay 10m for them? Get him on loan with the option to buy surely seems the only sensible option if we are intent on pursuing him.

Honestly, if it's Luka 'out' and McCarthy 'in' for eight million, then I think I may call it a day after 47 years of mostly agony. Well if it is the case that Lula is out I will probably join you after 54 years of support . Can it get any worse !
oh yeah ,fcuk off brighton. |

Clubs used to shout about targets and transfers before the end of the season and when season tickets used to go on sale. Now there’s plenty of demand (in the Prem) the club can (potentially because nobody knows yet) do anything or nothing in August. Season tickets already bought. I may miss some matches if this is unbearable. Having said that we stayed up under Pulis with 1-3 attacks per match, but I wouldn’t count on it too often. I still expect better business than what we’ve been hearing about with players we’ve not heard anything on this summer. It won’t be the first time.

Maybe we will see Mooy or Shelvey in a Palace shirt. Would love to have Shelvey at Palace. Never gonna happen though, he's settled in the north east.

So Everton have supposedly asked for £2million more!! F*ck off! They should be paying us to take that sick note off their hands. If this rumour is true and the deal goes ahead I genuinely will question Parish as the right chairman. I have been behind him 100% since day dot, but this window was a chance to kick on and we have as yet done absolutely nothing.

But not until we know who’s in the squad.
