All apart from Connolly, who has to move to Swansea.

I wouldn't wish that on anyone.

..I might be wrong but I suspect he'll be delighted. 10% of £5m, straight onto a Premier League salary and great chance of immediate top flight football. Elevated directly into top flight status from uncertainty at Everton who are likely to bring players in for his positions.

So rather than viewing things objectively based on their merits, you have decided that everything Martinez did was [Poor language removed], he is a clown (Coco, seriously?), a fraud, etc, that any success he had was luck or because of Moyes, and all failures were his and his alone, and anyone who believes otherwise is not only wrong in your opinion, but their own opinion is to be derided and belittled, and shouted down by the vocal majority.

And you wonder why people to defend their opinion.



You say you have issue with a point that I'm making and then use the same point to back up my original point. Spectacular.

My point is that these players, or the hundreds of others he "could've bought from the championship" weren't good enough. And Koeman has interestingly enough, come to the same conclusion.

But that is exactly the issue. Those were the restrictions that we were playing under. Those players were the players we could afford/attract at that time. And so a lot of them were gambles or punts that would have sell on value. That was the financial reality of Everton before Moshiri.

Now, we are in a much different place. We are able to go and spend upwards to £50m on 1 player that we want.

Comparing the 2 regimes is unfair at best.

Koeman went into the season on a negative net spend. Still might this time.

Just a quick response as this is off topic.

But you can't explain why Moyes did a lot more than Martinez when DM had less money to spend possibly under £2m net spend per season while RM got £16m net spend per season yet he got 2 bottom half finish in a row. Remember the squads they inherited respectively.
 

Crikey listening to Clement there how depressing must it be to be a Swans fan? If Sigurdsson goes they'll reinvest but if he stays they'll "go with what we've got".

Have they actually signed anyone yet?
