Me too, but a little bit of me is somehow half expecting some 'crucial' refereeing decisions as we get down to the wire........

We played effectively one loan player against Arsenal - Barry is effectively signed and would have been in January if it weren't for a City deal falling through. For around £1m. Deulofeu was a very late sub and is simply a youth player gaining experience which is seen throughout all of football since the 1990s.
Fails to mention Nuri Sahin at Liverpool, or even this season with Victor Moses and Aly Cissokho. Or that they've let a £15m player in Borini out on loan, or that £35m Andy Carroll went to West Ham on loan. etc. etc. etc. Because, naturally, Everton aren't included in the list of clubs "allowed" to make shrewd transfers and challenge the "elite".
It's the worst footballing article of all time that. Typical Daily Mail nonsense.

Might as well be the journalistic equivalent of his namesake Jlloyd. The unkempt, overweight, ex-S*n tabloiding, rubbish-spouting splurge of human offal.

As someone said, Martin Samuel looks like a boiled sweet dropped on a barbershop floor.
Wouldn't mind if the article had any semblance of sense whatsoever, but if we had put in a £20m bid on transfer deadline day for Lukaku and signed him, then loaned Barry and Deulofeu, there'd be no hassle. As it is, all that has essentially happened is that we've deferred payment for a season with a loan. We can afford Lukaku, Barry we signed as part of the loan fee until his contract expires and Deulofeu is Deulofeu - basically a loan signing you see every season.
The real issue is that we brought in effective players and others didn't, and it grates at the top clubs and their luvvies in the media.
Weird isn't it?
Why do they feel so determined to protect the established order?
Surely a new team breaking through is more newsworthy and thus will sell more papers?

Jim Royle really prints articles just to be controversial and provoke a reaction.
We could easily afford Barry if we wanted, Deulofeu you can hardly say is the reason we're here either.
Also what irks me is the thought that without such players we'd be fighting relegation or something, we're a place above where we where last season.

I'm amazed that this got published without anyone saying 'do you want another couple of days to think about this coz you have made yourself sound like a bit of a twot'

That's the point, Tubey; hence my anger. It just has absolutely no substance and no merit; the entire basis of the article, as far as I can see, is intense anti-Everton bias. That's the only connection between the article and logic.

martin samuel is a fat turd that needed flushed a long time ago.
I've never felt so ashamed to be an Evertonian. How dare we use such inexplicable methods to our advantage. Those poor rich clubs, I really feel for them
Was ok for United to have Henrik Larson.
RS to have Sahin!!!

That's it we should be banned from Europe forever for loaning 3 top class players.
Man City should be given the Champion league right now as getting a 300 mil a year sponsorship deal with Qatar is not cheating.
Man U should be crowned premier league champs as paying a play 300k a week, which is more than probably half the players in league 2 get put together isn't cheating.
As for Chelsea, well having 60+ squad players when u can only gave 25 isn't cheating. Ther squad probably worth more then every league 2 team squad put together
