hello all
Just like the Premier League players I am back from my summer break and raring to go. only difference is i went to a caravan in skegness where they no doubt had a few weeks in St Tropez. As we know the season actually kicked off at the weekend with some surprising (and in Liverpools case) amusing results but the real kick off for us is tonight.
Before I get onto that I think its best to summarise the summers news & dealings:
1. Selling Rodwell for £12 million - IMO a good bit of business as the lad would not have been first choice for us in the middle and when he did play last year wasn't actually that good. don't get me wrong he looked good in a style over substance way but most of the time passed backwards or sideways to no real effect. He is also majorly injury prone and so would have probably spent most of his time in the treatment room so better to get the dough for him now.
2. Buying Naismith - again a good bit of business i think mainly cos Jelly obviously likes playing with him and so it should mean he's more likely to score more and stay at the club. I know hes had a couple of bad injuries and so we might not get a full season out of him but i think he will help us pick up a few extra points
3. Liverpool failing to buy anyone good - i know a lot of Evertonians think we should concentrate on us and not bother with those lot but i just find it amusing ha ha
The match tonight i can relax about as the result doesn't really matter especially as we are no doubt gonna have our by now famous slow start to the season. Will take more notice of where we are after 10 games or so and worry then if in trouble ha ha. Having said that the opening few weeks always throws up some surprising results as even the big boys are a bit rusty so you never know.
