Are you happy when former players are successful?

Player Valuation: £225k
Since many players that were on the team when I first found the club (or it found me) are leaving, I can't help but wonder if I should be happy when they do well. Jelavic and Anichebe have scored recently, while Heitinga and Yobo have had clean sheets. Am I the only one who likes to see them playing well, or should I be upset that we let them leave?
 

Yes, by and large I like to see ex players doing well.

I really hope Jelavic recovers his golden touch and Victor was always a favourite of mine.

(I wish we still had him on the books)

Arteta is another one I like to see doing well.

Of course, there are others I like to see falling flat on their faces....Barmby of course and Lescott.

Even Fellani simply because it contributes to Motes's downfall at OT.
 
Some players just don't look right in a non Everton kit for me.
I like to see the younger lads who didn't make our first team do well though.
I never liked watching linekers career once he left us though ( just as one example )
 
I'll come clean and say no I'm not, unless its about three divisions lower and they have no chance of getting snapped up by a club that they will be ace for.

I only really want to see players being boss for us or when they're playing against the sh*te at club level.

But then I'm a small minded tit.

Small mind, MASSIVE HEAD.
 

Depends how they left I think. If they went with good grace then I hope they do well.
So, for most of them (Arteta, Cahill, Vic, Heitinga, Jela, etc), I am happy for them to do well.
Not so happy with Fella/Lescott as they seemed to be angling for a move before they left.
Well done Big Vic, first goal Chelsea have conceded in a while.

They're complicit in this. I'm taking legal advice and may sue.

It's 21st century bear baiting, I say. Horrors.

I'll tell your solicitor to do one, you large-domed beaut.

Don't mind seeing the dearly departed do well myself, long as it doesn't hurt Everton.
 
Yes i like to see them do well, some players just didnt fit in at Everton but still tried thier best but it wasnt to be. Vic and Jelavic for example, those i like to see do well. Not to fused about Felliani but mainly because i am enjoying Moyes failure. These ex players, Arteta for example i know will also want Everton to do well once they have left, its a mutual thing, once Everton has touched you...etc

The odd one for me is Rooney, i enjoyed watching him play great football (before Moyes went there), maybe it was because of his talent or the time he was at Everton was a period when i knew we couldnt hang on to him, so it was easier to accept.
 
Usually if they go to a bigger club I could care less. I find myself rooting for the likes of Vic, Yobo, Jela and AJ more than I do say Arteta who was my favorite player at Everton. Heitinga will do very well because I don't think he's wired well to be a sub.

The only one I actively rooted against was Lescott.
