Last one on this (Andy Jonston cost 10.5 by the way).

It never, we lost all that profit with the losses we made on Yakubu, Richard Wright and Heitinga alone, never mind the other losses such as Billy, Kroldrup, Davies etc.

The profit we will make on Lukaku will dwarf any losses we make on transfer fees in Martinez's reign and Moyes's reign put together and then leave us with a bit to play with.

Players like Cahill, Pienaar, Martyn Arteta and numerous other bargain buys saved us shed loads of money. The profit from Stones will never be beaten again I don't think. We even nearly doubled Fellaini money. Overall Moyes buys were deffo in the positive, Lukaku will no doubt save Martinez's record but he will still go for a less than we expect.

No doubt United have a far better squad than us.

But that has no bearing on the fact we have won three matches since the middle of September and dropped points against the two teams filling the bottom two places in recent weeks.

Unfortunately we are now having to live with the new normal.....in which "best of the rest" means winning the 7th Place Trophy rather than the 5th Place Trophy.

This year I'd be happy with 7th. If we move up the table by 4 places each year then that's good progress. No?

It's hardly as though we can just praise this team all the time is it? What have they done that deserves praise?

And leave it to agenda bores like you?

It is good you have the self awareness to recognise you are as much a whinger as everyone else.

Good man

Moyes was excellent in the transfer market in general, I don't think anyone disputes that, although with big money he wasn't great.

I think some of us are concerned about Koeman being given the war chest we've waited 20+ years for.

Spending big money can be very hard to get right. His 2 big buys up to now are nothing to write home about at all and more worrying is the near misses we had.

I just don't trust him to be honest.

It's nice to come on here on a sunny morn and see Everton fans united as one.

You think it's fun is it you want reaction?

The "No, you are wrong" quote I pointed out boris was wrong because he said AJ costed £10.5m not the line you quoted from boris.

Reported.

No, it's been pretty dire watching most of the time. Things have to improve - but that will take time.

But he was right in both cases mein Friend?

Come on mate, let's talk about Koeman rather than Martinez.

I can only find results for 'surrounding'.

Please explain franderino as I do not know what surroundering means.

Is it to do with Martinez?
