I just assumed he'd come straight in as the main man when I saw the fee. If he isn't at the very least better than Beto, there's no hope for this club.

Throwback to the great Dean Holdsworth vs Alan Shearer debate.

I think he'll prove to be one of the better buys in recent memory.

We had his best years and got an incredible fee for him. Don't ruin it.

Not really surprising from somebody who still thought he was going to play for France until he was 30. More fool Everton for ever putting him on that sort of money in the first place.

Reported for fibbing.

It'll be tough for you in the summer, but think of all the excitement when his new club realises they've had their pants pulled down and he's being linked with a January return on loan.

I'd like to think I'd have stayed until the very end, but then I did almost turn the telly off when Alcaraz and Branthwaite ran into each other like the Wet Bandits.

Seems like he can't miss at the moment.

Well, that was very enjoyable.

Scraping the barrel for guests now.

Moyes will pick him once he's fit. It's a tough league for players with no real physical attributes to truly excel in, but McNeil is both a good technician and a hard worker. He may end up being used similarly to how Ward-Prowse was at West Ham.

Depends entirely on the ambition of the new owners. If they're serious about competing for Europe, we're talking virtually a whole new team. It's only really Pickford, Branthwaite and Ndiaye who look good enough for that level, although a few others have shown flashes and could cement...

Barry Horne cracked me up on the Merseyside commentary. 'David Moyes has had a dream start since coming back, but he'll now be waking up to the harsh reality of Beto.'

I was thinking it feels like a long time since I've been content with the manager, and then I realised that's because it's actually been three-and-a-half years.
