Everton To Sell Harrison Armstrong ?! WTF??

Right, the news has broke today that Everton are considering selling Harris Namstrong to Nottingham Forest, which for me is an absolutely ridiculous decision. I'm absolutely stunned by it. I've seen a lot uh go on at Everton over the years. I've seen players, you know, uh we sold Wayne Rooney, which was utterly ridiculous. It was nonsense when we sold Wayne Rooney. And you know, we've sold lots of other top players. Kanchelskis I've seen before that. I'm going to go back to being a kid and we sold Gary Lineker when he was unbelievable. Um so, this is a thing that Everton have done. Everton just can't seem to get in a position where they build anything sustainable. So, we've always sold our best players. Um but this one just seems wrong. I'm sorry. This one seems wrong. I don't know what is going on. We've got billionaire owners, apparently. Um you never know, although you wouldn't know cuz he's never been near the place. And I don't know what Everton's plan on was. I don't know what this the whole idea of how you build a team cuz it isn't like this. You don't have a prospect coming through who is in your team at the moment and being arguably the best player in both games or certainly close to it. And the next minute you're letting them walk out the door to Nottingham Forest. You know, Forest were a Champions League club winning things. Then you go, well, they're they're brilliant now. Okay, they they've struggled while they've been in the Prem. And one decent season. They're building something. The owner is determined. And whatever you say about him, he's he wants the best for Forest. So, he you know, he goes about it the wrong way it seems at times, but other times he's done brilliantly for Forest and is is aggressive in what he does. And that's the kind of owner you need. We have got the opposite. As a as a anonymous owners. Uh and I just don't know what the plan was for this summer. There's been a lot of words spoken. There's been a lot of things that have gone on. You hear a lot of stuff. Um, internal stuff going on and but Everton haven't really attacked this transfer window at all. They're saying that the players they brought in, I'm not going to change my mind now. The players they brought in have been good players. But you undermine everything when you're prepared to sell a player like Harrison Armstrong. It doesn't make any sense. There's players in that team, a couple of players in that team that probably don't really want to be here. Certainly one doesn't really want to be here. And we don't want to lose him, but you understand that if if a Manchester City come for Iliman Ndiaye, you understand Everton selling him. If the especially the lad doesn't want to be here. But why are we selling a prized asset? Why are we selling a player who is just going to get better? Why are we selling a player who walks into our midfield and could control our midfield for the next few years? We should be trying to keep hold of him and not let him go. It doesn't make any sense. Whichever way you cut you dice it, you look at it, you dissect it, it makes zero sense. David Moyes might look and go, "He's number five or six on my list for midfield players you play. He's done well at the moment, but I wouldn't even play him." So he might look at him. And I think it's wrong. Absolutely wrong. The manager might look at him as an asset he can afford to lose. But I don't think he's an asset the football club can afford to lose, personally. What if we sell Harrison Armstrong for 40 million quid, what are we getting? What are we getting for 40 million quid? We haven't been able to sign a right back all summer. So, you know, it's there's what, three days left in the window or whatever it is. What are Everton getting? You know, if Everton genuinely have to sell to bring players in, then come out and say it. We don't got all our money. We have to sell to bring players in. Now, a lot of people will say, "Well, obviously we do." And I'm I'm in that camp. Now, quite clearly we have to sell players to bring anyone else in. Don't bring anyone else in then. Go I'm quite sure you can get a right back on loan. I'm quite sure Everton can get a right back on loan to do to job and just do position to play the mail and roles there. There's other players. If it If it's going to be selling and I said like Abdoulaye Doucouré to bring other players in, then don't sell anyone. We go with what we've got. Come out and be honest the fans. Our fans have put up with with awful stuff over the last few years. And this 777 ownership things were supposed to get better. Um but anonymous owners doesn't work. I don't want them interfering in everything. I don't want the power over all over every single thing, but never turning up to a game has been a bad look from day one for them freaking. Um not really saying anything other than a press release when they bought the club has been a bad look for them freaking and the freaking group. And what's going on transfer-wise? Why have they not tried to really push the I've We I've just mentioned Marinakis at uh Forest. He really pushes the envelope regularly. Won't be bullied. They They unbelievably got over 100 million for Anthony Elanga cuz he won't be bullied. So, why aren't ours pushing the envelope? Why aren't ours trying to go out and go, "Actually, we want to We're really going to give Everton a big push." You know, good owners would have looked at Everton getting close to Europe last year and gone, "Let's have a right good go at it this summer." And they haven't. So, I don't know what's going on. Something It feels to me like something's changed in the last couple of weeks coming from the ownership. Um I I'm I'm I don't know what that is, but I I just know that this one doesn't feel right. I can understand that and having to sell assets. We're going to have to do that as we move forward, no matter what we do, trying to get trying to sort of build the foot. You'd think you're trying to build the football club up and be ambitious and trying to get into Europe and see if you can how high you can get. This isn't how you go about it, but I understand you do have to do the moves like I limit and Jai bring them in, develop and sell them on for a big profit as well as pushing all the revenues up. This one doesn't smack of that. This one smacks of needing some money cuz we don't have any. Um and if that's the case, get that message, you know, we don't have money, we have to sell to buy. But this seems like a sacrifice from a manager that and the club, obviously. But it feels like a a step too far. It's all feeling. Right now, football, unless you're one of the top two or three richest teams in this league, it all feels a little bit pointless and it's getting worse. Richard Masters and his cronies have have begun this and have allowed that wedge to carry on. They should, you know, have some balls and and try to keep this thing competitive, but they're not. And then everything else, every other club just seem to be dismantled. So, it all feels a little bit pointless. You're trying to stay in the fight. You're trying to enjoy it. It is a game, but when you see stuff going on like what's happening today. And listen, Harrison Armstrong is still an Evan player. I expect them to play this afternoon at Bournemouth. You know, the morning of a game when you've had a good start, this is terrible as well. But and obviously the journalists love that. Don't they? They love breaking the news on the day of a game. It keeps them relevant, but the frustration is we've got a big game today. I expect them to play. Um Everton could still come out and say no, actually we're not selling them and that would be the right thing to do. And hopefully, I know that there's a lot of people in my messages haven't stopped as everybody else's, I'm sure haven't stopped. Um I hope Everton see it and feel it and think maybe this isn't actually the right move to do, but I can't see it. I think when they have something in their head, they're going to go through with it. Like I said before, the manager for all I know has walked and gone. Well, Abdoulaye Doucouré's fit and and James Garner's back now and if we get this right, I mean, we were linked with bloody Semedo last night. A deal we probably could have done 3 months ago. Um you know, Idrissa Gueye has gone off to Bayer Leverkusen. We've hung in there and and didn't get that either. So, it's been a it's turning into be a real poor end to what was, you know, chugging along as a decent window. If they'd have got the right back, I think most people would have gone into the transfer window and gone, "All need a bit more." Everton could and and Everton might turn around and just go, "We have Amadou Onana to sacrifice we can make." I don't personally believe that's the correct decision. I think it's the wrong decision from the football club. I think it the messaging is terrible for me. Um I don't know. Other people might disagree, [clears throat] but everything I've seen in all my messages are sell the people. A lot of people saying just get rid of Amadou Onana. Don't sell Amadou Onana, get rid of Amadou Onana and get other attacking players in. If he doesn't want to be here, that seems to be a theme that's gone through as well, although we don't want to lose Idrissa Gueye either. So, we shouldn't be selling anybody. It's get to a stage it it shouldn't really be selling any players you want now when you've had owners in 18 months. That shouldn't be the case. So, this is really poor, poorly timed, just a poor decision in my my opinion. Let me know what you think in the comments section below, but I ain't happy. That's for sure. >> Hey!
