    No the caddy tip was at least a couple of weeks before he signed.....I had put £100 at 4/1 at the time the rumour came out:

    To be honest, Everton's current squad plus 100 million is a very tasty prospect. Easily top 4 material.

    Would need to be £100 million well spent. Will it go out on players like VvD or players like Cedric?

    Well most likely 30-40 million will get wasted on ****e, but the rest will be well spent. Even adding just 60 million worth of talent would make Everton a very, very good team.

    It's alright. He's still out with his friends on their bikes. His mum will let him down gently when his favourite cartoons are on, to soften the blow.

    Personally I think a few of their squad are overrated (particularly those off with England) but sure, if they can replace their striker with a top, top name they could be good.

    If Koeman is their boss, I hope it all goes horribly wrong.

    Not bashed by me I think! That was still a reasonable point of view though, if the negotiations were going well at the time that's fair enough to say so. Things can change very quickly as we well know, we are still none the wiser because we aren't actually being told anything, I think that is a bit disrespectful to genuine fans, they can tell us we can keep a secret.

    I genuinely don't think the board have got much wrong (never said never). Certainly not the big decisions. I find it petty and narrow minded of people to hit out at the board (as several have on here, many times) spouting crap like they will stop our progression when all they have done for 7 years is progress this club forward massively.

    It has nothing to do with not bearing to hear criticism of the board, but everything to do with being level headed, sensible and looking at the bigger picture. The way some people react and lay blame, is quite frankly daft. If we had bobbed around for 7 years, then full justification. To question things like whether a board should have been quiet in the media or making statements and making them out to be poor, is narrow minded, when you look at how well our club is run... by The Board

    Those that don't like the factual and pointed defence of the board are the ones, in my opinion, who are being touchy. Your hashtag is just daft. The simple fact people post an opinion on a forum, should give them reason to expect a response.

    Not really, they aren't renowned for letting the truth upset a good story.

    Don't really know that much about Cocu or his status at PSV. But I agree that it does seem a great match on paper at least. I wouldn't mind that at all.
