He's not great, you got lucky avoiding rojo, he's awful...ks.Surely better available than those 2?
Saw this on twitter
Yannick Bolasie the season before he joined Everton for £30M:
•5 goals
•4 assists
Alex Iwobi the season before he joined Everton for £40M:
•3 goals
•7 assists
You’d think Everton would be in a good position to understand the dangers of paying lots for limited end product.

Other than Iwobi I think it's been a pretty good window. Got a fair chunk of deadwood moved on with a few more to follow in the next week or so. I think we spent too long chasing Zouma and Zaha, I thought it was obvious Chelsea wouldn't let him go.
The team is definitely building up nicely, I just hope we don't regret not picking up another central defender as January is a long way off!

Not shooting the messenger but you need a new in the know! 
I dont think its been a bad transfer window. 2 more and we'll be great.
We'll get zahah in January. We've done what we did to Watford over Silva. No way should we spend £100m on one player.
Agreed, but I don't think we will get Zaha now. I do reckon we will try to get Zouma and I hope we have another go for Doucoure, but that's my personal take. I'm not sure why Fast Bug is so down on Iwobi, all my Arse mates reckon he's quick with a good work rate and presses up the field, that fits well with how Silva wants us to play. Added to that he has PL experience and is young, so I hope he's given a chance. As to the fee, it's a complete mystery why we've seen so many figures quoted, maybe it's add ons etc.I dont think its been a bad transfer window. 2 more and we'll be great.

I noticed nowhere in his attributes you said he was any good... I've yet to hear an Arsenal fan say that he's good, or that they're disappointed to see him go. I don't see him as an upgrade on Lookman to be honest and I think we've over paid for him.BMW A6 said:
May one boldly advocate that Everton are obligated to acquire 3 points from fixtures like this, if your noble club is to establish itself in the top 6 or 4 this season?
As a United fan you must surely be glad that the likes of Huddersfield and Cardiff have been relegated and that you hope you can better last seasons draw against Burnley?Gassing Station | Football | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
