I think you are right. Schneiderlin signed instantly once the Niasse loan was agreed. Depay will be on £100k per week.

Haha Fair comment. I live in hope that we have turned a corner.

This is a game we must win, Palace look dreadful at the moment. Zaha is at Afcon, which leaves Benteke upfront with little service. Hopefully another convincing win!

'Mirallas on his day' or 'Bolasie on his day' - problem with both players is they are both inconsistent. I have never been a fan of Bolasie, i was quite gutted tbh when we signed him but ill support him now he is an Everton player. I'd choose Mirallas all day though, he is the better finisher out of the two by far. Koeman seems to have got him going again.

For me Lennon offers more throughout the whole game, his defensive work allows other playes to flourish also. I think you can trust Lennon to put a shift in, especially in the big games.

I suppose it comes down to the player also, i cant imagine he will be happy sitting on the bench when he could be a starter elsewhere. Surely cant let him go in Jan though with Gana away and Schneiderlin not fully match fit.

Seen a few rumours we are looking at other options now instead of Belfodil.

I think 2 more. Hopefully both will be first team additions. Hopefully a defender and a striker. I think a keeper will be the priority in the summer.

Great team performance! Hard to pick just one. I went for Mirallas though, was a tough choice but i thought his work rate was outstanding yesterday. He seems to have stepped up lately.

I agree with an above comment that it is hard to get excited about this as all comments/articles online seem to be negative about him. Koeman and Walsh seem to like him so ill trust their Judgement.

agreed, i think he would have taken us down this season if he was still here! Ha i think he needs to be brought up every now and again just as a reminder ;-) It also seems as though he is bringing out the best in Mirallas again, he really seems to be up for it lately.

Agreed, showed how much we missed Gana yesterday.

The second half of Martinez second season and the all of his third season, i dont hink iv ever been so depressed as an Everton fan.

Coleman for me too. I really dont think we have many options tbh. Id like to be able to look through and Everton team and see 5-6 candidates.

I have only heard of him having issues with Pulis. Also his next club is massive for him, sometimes its good having a striker with a point to prove.

Moyes second season he finished 17th! with our lowest points total. So even if he put his stamp on it instantly, it didnt work straight away. The difference imo is the qualitiy of the league now and the money involved in the clubs compared to when Royle and Moyes took over. We are 7th (best of the rest) the top 6 are extremely strong and gone are the days of an easy 3 points against the lower teams in the league.

Thanks :-) This is the reason all of the 'Koeman Out' supporters frustrate me, they dont seem to realise the damage caused over the last few years and the type of job Koeman has on his hands. I dont think there are any other managers in the Prem who could do a better job with this squad.

Martinez was terrible. he gave us so much hope in the first season then destroyed it with 2 years of horrendous football. He made us into a joke and made Southampton fans and Pundits think it was a step down for Koeman coming to Everton. Martinez would have happily spouted the same old sh*te week in week out until we got relegated. I genuinly cant stand the man, he had a nice guy approach but underneath i think there was more of a horrid side to him. TBF though the board should have sacked him earlier to save him from the abuse and also he should have never got the job in the first place. He was massively under qualified. Koeman has a massive job on his hands after Martinez. its a shame that Moshiri and Koeman didnt come in as Moyes left, that team would have suited Koeman more i feel and we probably could have pushed on quicker with less needing to be changed. But at least Koeman has a few years of experience in the prem under his belt now.

Agreed, unless their new manager has his own targets and needs to sell to buy.

I think its debateable. I think creatively he is. I think he reads the game better tbh. Im not saying i would rather have him, i just dont think it would be a bad signing if he stayed fit.

I agree. Im simply saying if that was me i'd go. 800k a week is ridiculous. Two years over, bang in a load of goals and come back to the prem. Job done ha.

Because he lost 7 out of 14 games. For a club like Milan that isnt good enough. He was poor in Holland too. He's another Martinez.

At his age, id go! 2 years in China then come back with £40m in his bank and still only be 25/26. China are going to ruin football at this rate though.
