Matt Damon
Player Valuation: £60m
It's not just the possibility of this though. There's something horribly wrong with Everton as a club at the moment. There's the whiff of cronyism in the air that I haven't smelled since Walter Smith was taking his bungs (sorry, *book money*) and signing auld arse players he knew and working his buddies into positions in the club. We're getting shabby deals done holding onto players for super agents, like in the Dier saga; Straquelersi is from the same stable as that; this Buddle connection with Donovan's agent; and now this (if true) about Weir.
It stinks to high heaven. A real chilling throwback to days at Everton that I thought we'd escaped from.
A very sad period in the club's history this.
You love all this "CONSPIRACY STORY" stuff.
You're in your element in this kind of atmosphere. In the thick of it.
