Most of the Barca players are past their peak so I guess Neymar thinks that longer term it will be a good move if it's not just about money.

Maybe when he's in a settings he knows or thinks he is better than the other players however when he doubts that he can be awful. It was the reason he was so streaky for Everton. Hes not Barca starting quality but you are right he's not that bad. I think the media, occasion, playing in a that...

Except giving the ball away which lead to a goal. He had obviously got into his head his job was to do no more than pass back, or try a short pass to Messi/Suarez. Even when the goal was beckoning he decided to try a pass to Messi who then missed the chance. It was also clearly obviously...

A lot of those passes weren't simple but I agree he's better getting his head up and looking for the pass. Unlike Messi he can't dribble and pass.

I always said it was his passing that was his strongest ability. His vision is unreal and he has an incredible range of spins that he can put on it. It's criminal we never used him on the left or as a no 10 instead preferring Barkley who is going now anyway. Playing with Messi may be exactly...

Injuries just before pre-season are always a little suspicious. If true that's a big shame for him. It will make it much harder to break into the team.

What's the situation with Deulofeu? I noticed he wasn't part of your pre-season squad.

lol I don't think I was thinking of Xavi

In fairness would you care about school if you knew you were going to be a football star. School isn't really an indication of anyone's intelligence and I did relatively well in school.

We are going to pay £50m for Gylfi Sigurdsson who is about to turn 28. Believe me. The market is crazy and Utd got a bargain.

The player wanted to leave to a specific club. Look at Deulofeu. We only paid 4m for him. Jose probably wanted the transfer money for that summer not an option in a few years when he may not be there and given what happened he was right. Whether he rated him or not is speculation. What is...

He speaks 5 languages and always struck me as being very smart. I honestly don't think he has a weakness except perhaps his first touch. Utd have got a bargain. Most lethal finisher since Lineker and if Jose can improve his game (Koeman already has) he could be a cross between Drogba and...

Do you think Everton would pay 28m for a player with a buyback clause? He didn't have the mentality of someone who sits in the bench and he's right but there's certainly nothing wrong with that. It's the same reason we have been able to get Sandro who also I hate to say it probably sees us as a...

He didn't. Lukaku wanted to leave both times because he wanted game time. The first time Everton actually contacted Chelsea because they thought they could loan Demba Ba and were offered Lukaku instead. The 2nd time Lukaku insisted on coming back to Everton because he wanted to be first choice...

He's the 2nd most expensive footballer in history going to one of the biggest clubs. Of course it's big news.

I think Lukaku will be incredible for Utd. People slate his first touch and while it's not great it's not as bad as people say plus they forget what he does offer. Strong, tall, fast and mostly importantly lethal when given a chance plus he scores every kind of goals and provides a lot of...

Yea I guess although last season I did watch Barca at the Nou Camp hammer Celta Vigo and saw Messi score a wonder goal so I feel like an honorary fan. :-) Btw - I'm really happy with Sandro. We looked at loaning him of you a few years ago so we definitely have been following him and unlike...

I can't see Barca selling him on. Everton had clauses in the contract to prevent this although maybe some sort of agreement was reached but I think he has been bought as a stop gap for your right side. I was hoping he would stay with us but unfortunately this was inevitable after Koeman took...

If Barca don't buy him back I hope Koeman gives him another shot. The improvements in his work rate and fitness are mostly down to Koeman and of course Deulofeu taking it on board in a positive way.

Pedro is also playing incredibly well for a team walking the EPL. If Deulofeu reaches his level he would be doing very well.
