Paul Merson just nailed it about Everton.

- Said it's pretty ridiculous for Everton to even consider selling at this stage of the window.
- Said Everton fans would be furious if we sold Fellaini and Baines and brought in McCarthy.
- Criticised Martinez' lack of imagination in the market, compared to Laudrup at Swansea when he came in.
- Criticised the ridiculous amount of money spent on Kone.

Was Kone 6m up front or is that the value if he hits certain targets mate?

£6m up front wasn't it to meet the release clause?

Either way, we spent £9m too much on him.

The worring thing about this tranfer window for me is that none of the players we have got in are better than what we already had.just bulked out the squad not improved its guality while others have done. Looks like mid table is the aim rather than moving upwards,nothing new there really .

kone wasnt 6m we eventually pay 5m. But that's based on appearences, goals etc. So far we've paid about 1.25m for him. Even his agent had to waver his fee's so we would get him.

Interesting perspective.

Just heard Alderwield has signed for A.Madrid, so even if we sell we can scrap that happening.

If thats the case its tolerable moreso, then again it means weve in actuality only spent about 1.75m this year which is bloody shocking

Arrived with his agents to sign today according to the spanish side, so yeah looks a done deal, shame as would have been a perfect fit for roberto

Well said by Merson.

Goodbye Toby, enjoy Madrid.

Sad but very, very true. All of it.



The worst bit about everything since Martinez arrived was all the soundbytes from him, Kenwright, etc.

Best players staying...
Global market...
Give the manager some money...

It's weird that Paul Merson of all people just codified my thoughts on Everton at the moment in the space of three minutes!
