To be perfectly honest I consider myself to be one of the most ambivalent and realistic fans out there and I couldn't care any less if
@The Esk turns out to have genuine info or not since he gives us what he knows and we all get to discuss it which is why we're on a forum.
I also couldn't care any less if we got Mata or Witsel or Robson-Kanu or Willo Flood. I couldn't care less if Esk says they're coming and they don't. I don't pay £500 per year to go watch Esk play at Goodison. I support my team whether we buy superstars or 17-year olds from Romania.
Too many on here have become the kind of fans I saw when Chelsea were bought out and I hate them. It is fine to be excited about all the noise but it's unacceptable in my eyes to cling to or attack info from anonymous people. No matter who comes in and doesn't come in I'll still be there on a Saturday cheering them on and knowing we've got a good manager here who can do something with this team.
The sooner September 1st rolls round the better and God forbid we open up a new thread in January.
