This lot are not too happy Everton are splashing the cash. They have a thread on SaintsWeb called 'Premier League Rival Transfers' and some of the comments are bizarre. Some of the best ones:

'I wonder how many youngsters are going to feature? Seems Everton are becoming yet another club that just buys players in, although unlike the Man Citys of this world, at least some are English. I would love to see the rules changed to make home grown players feature more, plus some having to have come through the club's academy. Otherwise football just becomes an exercise in who can spend the most, which it pretty much where we have got to now. The argument seems to be "oh but how are PL teams going to be able to compete in the CL?" So we bastardise a competition that the many can play in for the benefit of the few who can get to CL - brilliant!'

'I in no way look at Everton with any envy what so ever. What are they doing that is so good? Signing lots of players who have absolutely zero connection with the club. In fact, I reckon if they do manage to push Barkley out the door, then they will be down to one player that they have brought through - Davies. Do you want Saints to field a team that is entirely made up of those that are shipped in? I don't. There is a happy medium to be had, and having 3 or 4 is OK with me. I didn't like the way Koeman cut out all the youngsters when he was here, even if he likes to pretend he brought through 6 or 7. That is actually true that he did, if you count giving them a minute or 2 here or there to be "bringing them through".'

'...they've taken our crown as best of the rest.' (In fairness this was a positive post about us, but made me laugh how they think 2 seasons of finishing 6th and 7th put them ahead of us as a club after the constant top 5-7 finishes we had under Moyes).

They seem to either be blissfully unaware that our Under 23's just won the PL2 and we sent 5 players to the U20's World Cup or are in serious denial. Barkley, Davies and Baines are all local lads with Kenny the captain of the U23's. Can't imagine there are many sides in the Premier League that have as many locals playing for them, and ones that supported their club as a kid as well.
