Thanks for winning us nothing, Jags! Now on your way to bliss retirement before you’re 40 to wherever you want with the millions we have given you.

Oh dear

Obviously that's true but there's much less risk in buying players on an upward trajectory than a downward one. If/when all these players dip or get injured we have to have decent replacements ready to go. Given that our resources are not limitless it just doesn't seem like good strategy. It's short term thinking.

True, but on the whole I’ve been supporting Everton with next to no money and having to gamble on youngsters to grow into the players we hoped they would. That won us nothing.

In my opinion we have a pretty good balance of youth and experience, but we need more depth in certain positions

I don’t care how old they are as long as they play with passion, commitment and fight.

Some of em haven’t got the gonads they were born with.

It's true that a lot of the senior players are still at a good age. The issue is that they're decidedly average/garbage.

Jagielka, Williams and Baines all need to go. The rest are not old.
