He's more Denis Stracqualursi than Henry.

Happy to keep Delph but wanted rid of Davies. Joke of a manager.

The same Benitiz who successfully turned Liverpool fans against Alonso. (Kopites only called him world class after he left and FIFA made him better at passing in a video game, most bought into the waiter and wanted Barry instead).

Shame he's been England worse player the last two tournaments. Might have even won the last one with DCL instead.

We're stronger just by Sigurdsson not being in the squad. He dragged us down. We'll be better for it once we get rid of Keane as well.

You clearly struggle to differentiate between facts and opinions so I'd ask for your cum lord money back.

I'll go to therapy if you go get an education.

Carlo did attract him. Would have been very hard to convince a world class player like James to come otherwise. Definitely wouldn't have joined with the likes of Benetiz.

Because Rafa would rather a player cross the ball from a certain position into a certain area. Compared to James who make passes most players can't even see are on. If this was Alladyce no way would the fans be so accepting.

Ignorance, how so?

How hasn't he worked out? When fit he was involved in half our goals. Hard to his fight when most the injuries/niggles were down to getting fouled every week with very little protection from the referees. Only difference is we don't moan about vvd every week. He took a massive wage cut to come here. So don't think money is an issue.

Remember when Moyes went to Sunderland and we all laughed at him taking our dregs. Welcome Rondon and Townsend.

One is a football genius, the other just a bloke who wants to manage a club near his home. It's not quite personal differences, it's completely different levels of seeing/playing football.

James took a massive pay cut to come to us to play football.

See Rafa's treatment of Alonso. He wanted Barry over him rather than build round Alonso.

Got bertrand wrong, but the point still stands. Nothing wrong with the Gibbs and Delph examples. I'll add Joe Hart instead of Bertrand then. One of far too many players who were never good enough for England but only got a chance as they were at a top 6. The other way, look at how long DCL waited for a cap compared to Solanke. Any how, back on topic. Everton should be looking for better than Arsenal's 4th choice right back.

But how have we gone from having £50m to back one manager to being unable to back the next one. At the same time people are saying our hands are tied financially we're still getting linked with £30m players.

How is that relevant? Point is, if he wasn't at a sky team he wouldn't get called up. How many call ups did Gibbs get after leaving Arsenal. How many did Townsend get after leaving Spurs? How many has Delph had since leaving man city? Bertrand after leaving Chelsea?

Just as we did with Lukaku and Stones. Do you know what 'net spend' means?

Billionaire owner with a billionaire best friend helping us through a loophole in sponsoring. Our net spend is less than Aston villas and they're not looking round for freebies.

How's that an argument?

Before Rafa took over would any of our fans got rid of James for Townsend?

When he's on the pitch it's a 50% chance that he's the one involved with scoring a goal. Creative genius.

Weird thing is a lot of our fans are happy with this. Imagine if we still had Ancelotti, no way would we be happy bringing in the players we have. It's like Rafa coming has lowered our expectations. Nsno straight out the window.

Would he have that call up if he played for a none sky 6? Keiron Gibbs get many more caps after leaving Arsenal. Cusco Martina had him in his pocket for 89 minutes, and even then it was a slip rather than Salah's skill that let him down.
