agreed, but after the arteta sale we should be in decent standing with the banks, plus this would be the first time that a player that really and truly did not want to leave everton was forced out the door.

I hate it too. But it's the reality. If we don't sell Baines then there will be no big money coming in for transfers and we won't be able to strengthen areas of the squad which really need it.

Either way it sucks.

Beckford didn't want to leave either, he only went to Leicester with a lot of convincing and a good wage packet.

It's either this, which is painful but which will give us funds for replacements and strengthening,

OR

A repeat of the last 2 summers which saw us doing absolutely nothing (if anything) until the last few days of the window after the season had started, and then wondering why we again started the season badly.

It's a Hobson's choice. A club like Everton should NEVER be selling it's best players. But we have done so in the past and will continue to do so into the future while the present incumbents remain in charge.

I'll be joining yer if it does. What saddens me more than anything is many on here don't realise, as said a few pages back is they are unwittingly supporting the current selling regime, and they quite happily start discussing replacements for one our most liked and best performers like they mean absolutely nothing to them.

Rubbish, that. We support the club, not the board. The club is at the point now where it is a selling club and the fans realise it. Judge Kenwright etc for that, not realist fans. Where are you getting "happily" from? As if we're happy Baines is leaving. ****ing hell. As Brennan says, it's just grim acceptance more than anything. I appreciate that some people have had enough. Power to them, at least they're taking a stand. They have more bottle than me in that sense. But don't judge people who haven't had enough yet.

Fox says above he's been going for 44 years. I'm too young to really know what it must be to remember 85 and then, best part of 30 years later see us as a selling club now but I, and other posters you've referred to here probably know the score as well as most people on here as far as our current predicament goes. Maybe too well. We'd just like to see us make the best of a f*cked up situation. We've done it before have we not? Leighton Baines may never have been signed if we hadn't had a very similar situation with a very talented Evertonian on our books 3 years previous.
 
Jagielka says the club would have to accept a bid of 20mil + for Fellaini...really? We would sell a world class player who has just signed a new contract for a 4 million profit?! REALLY?
