That City game where we won with 10 men (Jelavic scored that last minute goal to give us a 2-0 win). Highlight of Muchas career that. Did he save a pen that day?

That's pretty kind to Robles, Al-Habsi was the number 1. Having said that, I believe Robles was the last backup we actually paid a fee for?

He should have replaced Tim Howard in his last 2 seasons as Tim star jump lost the plot -
He cost us many games Ings playing for the red scored off a cross a foot out ...

To be fair very few people are actually doing this. A couple of people have mentioned that it's rare for us to spend money like that and that hopefully it's a sign we have more money than expected, but not many people are actually complaining as far as I can see.

Personally I think people are going slightly overboard about his level. He's a typical number number 2 at this level really, which is absolutely fine. I've seen suggestions it's a big step up from previous years which i'm not sure is true. Begovic had just been Championship keeper of the year and had loads of PL experience, Olsen had 50 international caps and was signed from being a regular in Serie A, Robles had just been a number 1 in the PL and won the FA Cup etc. He's about the level I expected us to sign, I just assumed it would be a free rather than paying for someone, but that's not a criticism just an observation.

Robles was a decent keeper to be fair to him. Not spectacular but decent.

Joining other EFC luminaries as Jan Mucha, Sander Westerveld and Richard Wright.

Welcome Travers lad! Best of luck.

Maybe one day we will see Travers in an Everton 'legends' match too!

LOL Athletic Everton reporters found out after that doughnut on Sky Sports

Probably due to McAdam being the best source for transfer news relating to Bournemouth.

Centre of a lake catching Carp only BK could give him a 3 year deal & TH played 45 minutes best carp fisherman going - plus did he turn up on the farewell to Goodison? Maybe a good servant but sentiment like other players took over .. under BK- at least this Keeper is a good purchase!
