    Agree - great manager for sure. Can he steer Everton - the most mediocre club of its generation - anywhere outside their standard course? I doubt it. Can you imagine what a drop in quality he's dealing with here - he is used to the top table, as are the players he's buying. No one there is hungry to prove anything - the best you can hope for is one of the younger players ups their game to get a transfer. No one raises their game at Everton. I'd say mid-table is about right - even if they start strong.

    True, but their issue has always been scoring goals. I think they'll be fine too, if not spectacular, under Potter, though.

    Looks likely he’s not moving on.

    Cant see him leaping Stephens and Bednarek,and cant see Salisu coming in and being left out in favour of Vestegaard so think thats a bit hopeful of him!

    It’s the professional thing to see. Fair play to him. Decent bloke.

    Completely agree. I'm no huge fan of him, and I think its unlikely he'll get a bigger role, but he does have a decent attitude and willing to fight for his place and the cause. Unlike others I can think of. Hoedt for starters.

    Seems he was pretty close to leaving then and it wasn't just rumours.

    Didn't realise he is 28 either - would be good to move him on soon as he is an expensive and error prone 4th choice CB.

    After losing the £9m/season from the chinese tv money I am starting to think our business is over. Unless we manage to finally get a small fee for Hoedt or Carrillo.

    If football manager is anything to go by they have just signed the best striker in the world for the next 10 years

    That's an exceptional gamble on a player who has one senior goal, but he's one of the best-regarded young players in Europe.

    Well as much as I take fright when I see his name on the team sheet, agree with you, in fairness it says more about desire and commitment than anything else, so gets the thumbs up from me.

    Hoedt lined up for another loan to Anderlecht.

    And he is right when he says they all had playing time post lockdown. Personally I think he still improving. Glad he's staying.

    Yeah I'm similar, although I think he is still turning v Cardiff away in Ralph's 1st game.

    Don't see it myself, think he's slow and prone to lapses of concentration at PL level. He's like a tall Jos Hooiveld - although with a better range of passing.
