Fully on board with this. Statement of intent and nostalgia at the same time. His wages won't suck the life out of the club anymore and RK won't be bullied into playing him if he isn't effective. What he brings behind the scenes will win us a few games this season just by changing the mentality of the team.

Everton 2 - 0 Watford Gana

No-brainer at 17m but that price seems too good to be true. Could sell joel for 5-8m so net it's a tremendous deal.

I repeat. YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES

Swansea 1 - 2 Everton Rom

Chelsea - 34 pld - 78 pts - 23 pts clear Spurs - 34 pld - 74 pts - 19 pts clear Liverpool - 34 pld - 66 pts - 2 pts from 4 games to go clear City - 34 pld - 66 pts - 2 pts from 4 games to go clear Utd - 34 pld - 65 pts - A Arsenal, A Spurs, A Southampton, H Palace (3 pts to clinch place above us) Arsenal - 33 pld - 60 pts - H Utd, A Southampton, A Stoke, H Sunderland, H EFC (8 pts to clinch place above us) Everton - 35 pld - 58 pts - A Swans, H Watford, A Arsenal The mountain gets taller with each passing week but 6th is still in reach and 5th could be as well if you are an optimist of the highest order. EFC win and Ars/Utd draw and things get a little more interesting. As others have said thrilled with 7th but why not have something to cheer for over the next few weeks.

What's left: Chelsea - 33 pld - 78 pts - 20 pts clear Spurs - 33 pld - 74 pts - 16 pts clear Liverpool - 34 pld - 66 pts - A Watford, H Southampton, A West Ham, H Boro City - 32 pld - 64 pts - H Utd, A Boro, H Palace, H Leicester, H WBA, A Watford Utd - 32 pld - 63 pts - A City, H Swans, A Arsenal, A Spurs, A Southampton, H Palace Arsenal - 32 pld - 60 pts - A Spurs, H Utd, A Southampton, A Stoke, H Sunderland, H EFC Everton - 34 pld - 58 pts - H Chelsea, A Swans, H Watford, A Arsenal Not looking good but win for City today, us and Spurs on Sunday, would really stir the pot.

Everton 1 - 0 Chelsea Baines

Come on Boro.

West Ham 1 - 3 Everton Rom

Gibbs now third choice. Good enough for Everton? Should be reasonable price

Everton 2 - 0 Burnley Barkley

First prayer answered, thank you CP. Many more needed.

Still remains incredibly unlikely but it's so refreshing to be in April and have something to play for after the past two seasons...

Definitely stuck behind Costa but seen him play 3-4 times as a sub and he looks good enough. Impressed by combo of speed and strength. Of all the people I mentioned he's least likely to join I would think - just signed for Chelsea. If we somehow got him on loan that would be incredible. Will need three strikers in the squad if we finish 7th this year.

Agree on cost effectiveness. Don't watch nearly enough football outside PL so I can only speak to those players. These have stuck out to me this season: Nathan Ake Michy Batshuayi Joel Campbell (international duty) Manolo Gabbiadini Jordan Pickford Winston Reid Virgil van Dijk James Ward-Prowse

Everton 2 - 0 Leicester Rom

Utd 1 - 2 Everton Baines

Taking a brief reprieve from the derby and tmw's match...anyone heard anything about where Everton will play this summer? USA appearance too much to hope for? Any rumblings/rumors with regard to next years kits? Been awfully quiet on both fronts and its April already.

Liverpool 0 - 1 Everton Barkley

that comment had me wondering what's left after all these injuries. Strong 11 sure, bench hardly. Definite starters: Joel Baines Williams Jags Holgate Ross Lukaku Gueye Davies Starter/Bench: Mirallas Barry Valencia DCL Lennon Bench: Stek Lookman Kone Dowell Pennington Kenny Walsh Out: Coleman Schneiderlin Mori McCarthy Bolasie Besic This team selection is going to be fascinating
