Yes I am saying they are a big boy. League titles, Multiple cups, CL winners and one of highest payers in fees and wages in World football. If that doesn't constitute a big boy what the he'll does?

If he comes to us, having done a Willian (in reverse) and fucked Chelsea good and proper, then he'll automatically be a legend to me

Potential for thread diversion here, but that is not what Danny said. He said he wanted to be part of a squad like Chelsea ... that could hold its own with a team like us while having Hazard and Costa on the bench. In other words, he was asking for more competition in the squad, not less. I am guessing that in his "showdown" talks with Poch and Levy (if that ever really happened) they explained that they were thinking along the same lines.
Isn't the popular consensus that Koeman doesn't really rate him?
He's just turned down th Champions of England as he wants us? I wouldn't be worried about the big boys, as we are one now.
Llorente turned down Chelsea.
Aurier turned down a move to Juve
Sanchez turned down Barca.
Barkley wants us, and he'll add some depth that we need. In games where it isn't working for Dele or Eriksen, or when we have 3 games in a week, he can really do us a favour.
We have tapped him up - this is my view on it. He wants to play for us and we have told him we will get him, if we save money on the transfer we increase his signing on fee. If he is out until Dec and only wants to play for us we can knock off another £10M.
Can understand why any young(ish) player with potential would want to come and learn under Poch.
On the Everton forum, they really are an odd lot... but the way we reacted to Walker thinks there would be some who would be the same.

I'd take Poch's judgement and ability to coach over Koeman's everyday of the week.
Yeah, you've got a point there. So would I.
On that, who's Koeman clearly made better at Everton? I remember him chewing out Barkley last Sept and causing damage there, and I remember his quite disgusting treatment of Niasse.
Chelsea became and will remain a big boy until the rules dry up.
There's more to being a big club than money and bought trophies.
Don't think so, think he played him whenever he could and was second best player for him.
He tried to play the big man giving ultimatums on the contract and it bit him on the arse.
Do you think Real Madrid attract the best players in the world because they have the most successful past or do you think it's the astronomical wages paid ?
I can't stand the guy, goes back to his free kick against England plus I hate they way he looks and carries himself, irrational I know but he comes across an absolute cunt, from his touchline spats, lies about committing himself to Southampton then immediately singing for Everton, then weeks latter whoreing himself out to Barca. All I see is a grotesque smirking and bitching bloke in a ill fitting suit.
There's a ruthless arrogance to him - I think Everton will be the pinnacle of his managerial career
He had an awful run at Saints over Christmas one year and I was surprised he didn't get sacked then, had the feeling him being a stellar playing name helped him then and helps him now to get away with doing bad things
So he's what ryan Giggs would like be as a manager then
Probably
Maybe Giggs has a touch of genius in the actual job though, tactics or man-management, Koeman seems to lack both
I'll be shocked if Everton improve on last year, thought they were the worst team to visit the Lane last year. The only players I like are those that their academy have produced (nothing to do with him, all highly thought of before his arrival).
I don't see a problem with a player running their contract down if it's done openly. It's then up to the club to decide if there is more value in selling or holding on... and I'd also say if a player is doing things the wrong way it's absolutely their right to hold onto them and have them training with the reserves if they see fit. It has to work both ways.
