It's all immaterial. Mourinho will never sell him. It would be like trying to get Ronaldo off Madrid or Messi off Barca. For the record I think Neymar is currently better but I think Hazard might have a higher ceiling and a big year this year. When Messi and Ronaldo start fading Hazard and...

The problem is it really isn't. We will be able to get 30m in another season's time and since he's got another 4 years on his contract there's no financial reason to sell him at the same price we will be able to get for him in 2 years. Mourinho has to pay a premium given the length of his...

I wouldn't worry too much about it. The money will probably end up in the pockets of European teams since they generally hike the price up when selling to English clubs. It doesn't even make the premiership that much more competitive because while the money is good the players still prefer...

Sorry guys I think I might have brought one of them with me. Anyway on topic. He did well, played Iniesta's position first half and then Rakitic's position 2nd half. The vision for the through ball to Rakitic was lovely and just a shame he didn't get it quite right. However you could still see...

There were rumours that he was growing tired of not getting game time just before he started getting a few games at CDM although I don't know if that changed anything. I suppose there's no way to know for sure but I agree that it's highly unlikely.

That's a totally made up post. The problem is that the Everton forum has "forum supporters" who want to impose their viewpoint on everyone. They're the kind of fans that like Naismith and McGeady because they work hard. If it's the same FCBarca on this forum that comes on the GOT forum he can...

He's not untried. He's been a regular for us for two years and more than worth it. The problem the top teams have isn't just one of money but also availability. In 12 months time everyone will be after Stones.

I thought before anyone bid the fee would have to be 35m before we were interested. Now it's reportedly 34m (bit like Sterling's 49m that) and I still don't want us to sell him. I hope Kenwright is as cool as Stones always is - check out his two penalties to get a taste of what I mean.

Wow we're starting to agree on stuff. First Deulofeu and now this. The end is surely nigh. :rockon: I definitely don't think Enrique wants him to go especially not before January but he's 23, 24 in February and is it fair to keep him on the bench when there's no hope he will be a regular, even...

Everton fan here. Is he capable of playing as a No10 or like Iniesta? Obviously not Barca's standard of those players but for us.

Rooney? He might not have lived up to the hype but for the first couple of seasons he was the one people were talking about at Utd instead of Ronaldo.

It also bought Jordan Henderson who has gone on to be a decent buy. Carrol was just unlucky. If he stayed fit and there was no injury problems before Liverpool signed him he could have gone on to be one of the top centre forwards in the premiership. And this from an Everton fan.

That shows how good Rooney is even though a lot of people don't appreciate him.

Ok fair enough. I'm still not sure I agree with you because I don't see the upside for Bartomeu because I don't buy your "scorched earth theory" but I'm certainly not naive enough to think that politics isn't a dirty game :-)

There's rumors Mirallas is staying but it won't matter because the rumor is Deulofeu is going to be played in the hole as a No10 behind Lukaku. I hope the rumors are true because frankly Mirallas is a top class player and it's looking like it's unlikely we can get better and I've always thought...

But it was hardly one unelected member. You're speculating to prove a point. Enrique was also responsible for loaning him out and Emery didn't play him. Do you really think that's the history of a player ready for Barca's first team? What Barca did was let him leave and demand a small buy back...

Brilliant hopefully that means they've given up on Coleman.

Well I don't know about the politics of it but the player wanted to leave and Barca didn't see a future for him in the 1st team squad so it made sense for all concerned in my opinion. I don't see what Barto had to gain by selling him but I do see what the other guy has to gain by criticising...

And Angel DiMaria and Soldado have done fantastic haven't they? There's players that succeed and fail when changing leagues. It proves nothing to highlight individual cases. What's hard is the fact that each game is competitive. Even the top team's have to bring their A game when playing...

Hopefully we'll see him play with a bit of confidence next season. When he was playing with confidence at the start of the season first time around he was some player.
