Yes, but...If anybody ever joins Everton and are happy that they have "made it", they need to question their hunger.
No. Making Everton the best team in the league, then Europe, should be the aim for an Everton player with ambition - one who has been here for years or who might be about to join.Everton should be a stepping stone for any player with ambition.
Joining with the plan to use any club as a stepping stone is the easy way out. Joining with the plan of helping to take that team to the top should be the thinking. If that doesn't work out, and the club can't match the ambition and talent, then I accept it's time to move on. Assuming that's the case to start with is very different.
