Fame has been good for Joey. Fucking loves it he does. Just hope he doesn’t get a big head hahaha haha hurghhh ……Giz a groat and you can gozz on him!” – Tom Norman, penny gaff proprietor, Whitechapel Road
“
….the tried-and-tested, proven experienced manager and stellar name. If that is what Moshiri still wants, Benitez is an obvious choice” – Jamie Carragher, phlegm-firing football pundit
Rafa Benitez. An obvious choice.
It’s like a Metropolis gardener (LexCorp Landscaping, like) maintaining green kryptonite is the glaringly obvious radioactive element required to complete Superman’s glorious ornamental rockery. Given the multitude of big stones – shiny or shite-encrusted – in the known galaxy, why go all out for the one option guaranteed to cause the most adverse gut reaction?
Asmir Begovic looks set to become the first acquisition of Rafael Benitez s tenure as Everton close in on the Bournemouth keeper.
The 34-year-old has a year left in his existing agreement with the Cherries but the Blues have reportedly struck a deal and have secured him on a two-year contract.
Everton have been linked with Pierluigi Gollini in Italy and Sergio Romero, who is out of contract at Manchester United, but have turned to Begovic instead.
The Bosnian, who has had spells with Ipswich, Stoke and Chelsea and spent part of last year on loan at AC Milan, has been seen in Liverpool today where he underwent a successful medical.
Townsend announced as the summer s first signing Lyndon Lloyd Tuesday, 20 July, 2021
Everton have completed the acquisition of Andros Townsend on a free transfer from Crystal Palace, the first signing of Rafael Benitez s tenure as the Blues manager.
The 30-year-old winger agreed a two-year contract that would run through the end of June 2023, bringing to an end a five-year spell at Selhurst Park while renewing his association with Benitez who managed him briefly at Newcastle United in 2016.
Townsend explained that reuniting with his old boss and the prospect of playing for a “massive and ambitious” club like Everton meant that he could not turn down the chance to sign when it came up.
Everton s Biggest Construction Project?
What needs to change at Everton moving forward? What does Farhad Moshiri, his board and executives have to do differently. not on Bramley-Moore Dock but on the more immediate issues concerning matters on the field?
Let’s not get distracted.
Everton’s greatest construction project is not what is about to transpire at Bramley-Moore Dock. It’s another project that has spluttered and failed to get off the ground despite the huge resources thrown at it. It’s the project called Everton FC, one of the leading, most significant, most famous clubs in the 150 or so years of organised association football. A football club that, today, has a less clear identity of who it is, what are its goals and how will they be achieved than they did when Moshiri first arrived at the club 5½ years ago.
