    Nil Satis Nisi Optimum--official Everton Thread

    After last season, I wouldn't call it terror, so much as bitter resignation. Glad we pulled through though. It might light a fire, but it's a bit late to be picking new targets.

    Like I said, I've heard he's a promising English defender, but Martinez has admitted he's not expecting him to perform in the Prem right away. One for the future. He'll go to the U21 and we might see him for a game or two later this year.

    Any good in FIFA? What I've heard is he's got potential. I feel like Roberto is taking a very patient approach to building our roster. We've been surprisingly good at holding on to the quality we have and bringing in pieces here and there. If Holgate is good enough to step into the first team...

    My ESPN app tells me that Macca has just signed a new 5 year deal.

    Hmm. Like the green, not crazy on the black shorts. It's cool to see them experimenting with the third kits though

    Can't disagree with any of that. First priority would be to keep Stones at this point, but with that money I'd look to either an effective keeper or a striker who can take more of a support role. Lukaku would be much more effective playing target man/poacher in front of someone who could make...

    Who knows about the Spurs bit. I'm convinced that the Mirror just puts a bunch of players and clubs up on the wall and throws darts at them to come up with transfer rumors. Vidic I hadn't heard about before. I don't really see how a 33 year old is a replacement for Stones in any way. Roberto...

    Atlanta United Logo/colors

    While I agree that United wasn't the best choice, I like it a lot better than the Atlanta Phoenix. I don't really like mascot/theme names in soccer and that name sounds so MLS 1.0. I agree with Gavin23 that something like Terminus FC (or SC) would have been much better. It's original, has...

    I hope its the kit colors. Serious lack of quality striped kits in this league.

    Gotcha. Yes I think all those teams are being folded into the USL sides.

    NYCFC Academy - General Discussion

    Afaik the plan is for every team to replace their U-23 side (if they still have one) with a USL affiliate. So academy prospects that are good enough at that level will move to the USL. The MLS reserve system was not that effective for a few reasons.

    Authentic Jersey

    I know that Everton is not allowed to print the Chang logo on youth jerseys because it's a beer company. Also for Euro competitions teams have to alter or remove alcoholic sponsors depending on the host country.
