I think the only shambles is that we have let central defenders go (our weakest position at the start of window) without replacements yet. I can see the same issue as when Lukaku left without replacement. Who we got left, jags, Keane and Holgate! That could see us in relegation fight.

He is not a natural goal scorer, but natural goal scorers seem to settle for that and not really improve throughout his career. He always give 100% and will continue to learn until he is great. I believe he is the type of player who will not suddenly stop improving, he will continue to improve until he becomes one of the best English forwards (like Harry Kane has), or gets injured and never makes it as far as he could. We have to not forget, he has just won the U20 world cup, scoring goals, and is our best forward already at the age of 20.

I wouldn't change much for this game. Baines in, if fit. Lookman for Lennon. Pickford Kenny Holgate Williams Baines Davies Gana Rooney Sigurdsson Lookman DCL

Its possible Mirralles stormed out of training and Schneiderlin followed him to maybe sort him out, rather than storming out. This would explain the story about both leaving the training pitch and also explain the reason Mirralles apologised and Schneiderlin has not (and should not). We will never really know.

NO, not even a plan b. No, no, no.

Has there been any other cases of clubs being bought against the rules like this? Is the punishment likely be against the person involved, or the club?

Anyone know more about what this Panorama program about Everton board is on Sunday and Monday? Its something to do with Moshiri and Usmonov. What implications could it have with Everton FC? These Panorama Specials never end well.

Is our first team stronger than last year? I'm not sure it is. Goalkeeper Better - Pickford Good Signing Defence Worse - Keane Good Signing, Coleman worse due to injury, Rest older and in decline. Midfield Same - No Real Change (except maybe Barkley not wanting to play). Attack Worse - Lukaku not replaced, Delboy not replaced, Barkley no longer wanting to be here. Other positions improved, but now very narrow. I think we will struggle now this year due to not replacing Lukaku and feel out first team has now declined.

Should have got Bacca as a stop gap.

Second highest in Genoa squad I think. So its not that good!

We only have to say a players being sold for the media to give the player the 'top team biased article'. Hold on Sky, we haven't sold him to a media favourite team yet! He has created more chances, just not many good chances.

Only way we can use this now is by using Barkley as a swap deal. Just gonna get too low fee otherwise. We have to include a very good sell-on clause in any deal incase he fulfils his potential. Maybe use him to get Giroud or someone from Man U.

Rooney for me. Gonna be a big player for us.

Great business so far, but still spent no money. I really hope we have a couple of big players to come. Although happy with deals, still not happy with the apparent 'sell to buy' attitude.

If we are willing to spend £50m for Sigurdsson, why not add another £20m for Aubameyang? If he willing to go to China, why not us? Aubameyang much better player for our system, Sigurdsson too slow and got enough midfielders. We need an explosive attacker.
