Don't mention the other side that you are trying to make out is a crap team. Even though it was a team that qualified for Europe and finished above us.

He had 6 goals and 8 assists in all comps.
Our best moment last season was, after the Anfield win, probably the 5-4 v Spurs.
He set up 3 of the 5 goals that got us there, so that's one thing.
In terms of big chances, btw (and this is like genuine sitters), then in the league only 4 players created more than James, all of whom (bar De Bruyne and Grealish IIRC) played at least 10 games more.

Good riddance, he was over-rated and didn't wanna be here.
Benitez is revered by the Kopites, revered by the " Toon Army " and now by some of our fans.
If that`s the company they want to keep, they should hang their heads in shame.

Handing in sick notes from your personal doctor, is not something any employer likes.
I'd be buzzing if it was August 1st and I thought we could go and reinvest his £9m a week wages, mate

Pathetic isn't it.
If he wasn't talented they would be calling him all the names under the sun. This is why the club is in a poor state, indulging people who don't care about it.

Who has done that mate?
No.
Second bit - absolutely, from the moment CA left (maybe before that).
But no need for revisionism. It's like when Rom left and people said it was fine cause he had a crap first touch.
Well I'd argue throwing £500m into the hands of Walsh, Koeman, Allardyce, Brands, Silva is actually the real reason.

It honestly astounds me how low our ambitions have become with this hire. I was out in Newcastle with a load of their fans on sat afternoon/evening. Its really concerning that a lot of posters in here, are saying the same things that they said.
In many respects Hamez is the perfect Everton player, half the fanbase love him and half hate him. I was reading a bit about his current transfer there the author said that Everton fans were completely divided on him. He was either a gifted player bringing something different to Everton or a waster who had no interest in the club. My opinion is he is a gifted player who brings something different to the club but who also is a waster who doesn’t care for the club.
None of us know how bad the rift between him and Benitez is but it must be very bad if Benitez is prepared to let him go after seeing how threadbare we were on Saturday.
I think if this interest in him is real and he does move on we will know where we stand. It would be criminal if we were still paying his wages and were still caught by FFP.

It's not though.
You can't compare the Everton careers of the two players. Lukaku was a world class goal scorer, almost always available, brilliant attitude on the pitch.
Lukaku wanted to leave to go and win trophies, went for 80 odd million to United, then went and won Serie A, now has come back to win the PL. James is going to play in Qatar when he is still only 30 and should have 2 or 3 good years at a high level left in him.
The two scenarios couldn't really be more different. We will have a short term hit from not having an extra squad option available, but losing Lukaku set us back years. Koeman spent 150m on rubbish trying to replace him and it's only this summer we felt the full weight of those mistakes!
Going to the middle east shows just how little he cares about football...
Could of knuckled down and forced his way into the team...
Chose to go earn a wedge playing against spoilt sheik's extended family with the odd washed up south American sprinkled among them

You shouldn't have to 'force your way' into a team that starts Andros Townsend and an unfit Rondon though.
He could score 80 goals in training and he still wouldn't be picked.
