Clearly you’re on a wum, they are all now in the worlds top leagues, basically all of them playing for teams better than Everton and they’re not impressive? Amazing lol
He never discovered Zola.

It’s hilarious, pile in lads, blubbering Kristian is fuming that someone’s called him out on only spending a few seconds a day in his break from tugging one off over Klopp to cover Everton and has plagiarised.

This article makes it sound a lot less worrying than the Echo did.

Marcel Brands has been speaking to NRC in the Netherlands about his PSV role and the pressure he puts on himself to succeed.
Right at the end of the interview, Everton’s interest in appointing the Dutchman as their technical director or football director is brought up and there’s a an interesting quote from Brands.
“Everton? It is flattering. But I have said no more than yes in recent years. I also said yes to PSV only the second time. I have a very nice job here and a beautiful life. The question is whether I want to give it up. I have never been a club-hopper.”
Those quotes may well be for a Dutch, and specifically PSV, audience, because it’s been clear for some time that Brands has been flirting with the idea of a move to the Premier League.

Dutch newspaper De Telegraaf almost seemed to be acting as his agent at one point, first pushing a claim of Chelsea interest, and then publishing almost identical claims (even down to Brands being one of two targets) about Everton.
Brands now playing hard to get wouldn’t appear to make a lot of sense.
Maybe the Everton opportunity has been talked up to be more than it actually is and Brands wants the option for it to look like he turned the Toffees down, perhaps he’s trying to get better terms from the Merseyside club, or, as we suggested, this is simply to pacify PSV fans.

To be fair I'm not sure you can ever say someone is THE best midfielder because obviously everybody has different strengths, but if you don't think Dembele is right up there with the best in this league I can only assume you haven't seen him play much. He's an outstanding player who makes a very good Spurs side tick. Obviously he doesn't score worldies every week so if that's how you judge a player he's not your man but if you're a fan of actual football he'll show you how to play.
