I do often wonder though if that lack of progress is because of the teams he has played or managers he has worked under.
Some how get the feeling that being the big fish in his childhood club pond was a bit like he had made it. Possibly a new challenge now that he has grown up a bit might not be a bad thing?
If Rooney plays there, I could see them trying to use him in a deeper role.
He had 1 season for Malaga (16 goals in 31 games) after leaving Barca on a free
Did you not talk about 25 year old Josh King in the same tones?
I think it's a weird move on his behalf though unless he sees Poch as the man to make go to that next level.
On the periphery of the England National team and was a bench warmer at the Euros. I'd assume he has aspirations of being in the team for Russia 2018.
So is swapping clubs to possibly sit on our bench wise on his behalf?
If he comes here he must really rate Poch to risk that. Wilshere has moved to a club that guarantees him a game every week and it's a little lower down than Everton...
As him having incredible potential? No i didnt. On him being a good back up to Kane? Yes i did.
we probably still owe money on Lamela, so hopefully that has been reduced as part of the deal. Otherwise this sort of fee, even £5M makes no sense at all. Fazio is a decent player just unsuited to our system. Can't see why Levy, of all people, would sell for that without it being part of a bigger deal.
Absolutely true, even Everton fans who are obviously gutted to lose their goalscorer recognize that he doesn't score against the best teams and he is moody and goes missing in some games. I don't seem to remember him ever causing us much trouble. Are we going to fear him at ManU? Doubt it. Ibrahimovic could at least create something special against anyone. It's a mad amount of money on a decent but limited striker, in my view and I'm pleased ManU are signing this sort of player rather than someone better. I expect them to do better next season but I don't think they will be a threat to us.
I dont understand all of these naysayers enviously looking over their shoulders at other teams and moaning , not one player in world football has who has moved this window would get anywhere near our starting 11 , the window nearly has a full 2 months to run and there is a strong case to suggest none of our rivals have actually strengthened. Lukaku replaces Zlatans goals but not his overall influence and aura , ditto with Lacazzete and Sanchez (if he leaves) Chelsea like us have signed nobody , City have signed an expensive unproven goal keeper and an excellent midfielder who plays in a position they are already heavily stacked , their defensive targets seem to be wing backs that excel in an attacking sense but lack defensive prowess and they have a shocking defence that they haven't improved , Liverpool have blown their beans on a player that was a big flop at Chelsea and is unlikely to go straight into the strongest 11 , Everton will sell Lukaku and Barkley , two players who have been key whenever I've seen Everton excel and signed a lot of unproven players of potential none of which are good enough to play for Spurs and I hardly feel threatened if their next signing is a player we deemed not good enough over three years ago.
I still think Chelsea and Spurs are the best two teams if the season started tomorrow and the biggest thing for both sides this summer will be keeping their best players together rather than making massive signings. I think it will be between Us Man U and Chelsea.

None of the Everton signings would Start for us. The only player signed in this window for any team that would start for us is Bernardo Silva.
Reminds me just as much of Jan as Toby. Could be the perfect defender and definitely has the attributes we look for in a defender. I reckon this rumour is true.
tbh I'm quite surprised it took us this long to start being linked with more Argentinian talent considering how long Poch has been with us.
Read a rumor on twitter that his club in Argentina wants a six month loan so he can finish the season over there before reporting over ala Gabriel Jesus. Seems fair to me at least

you think Everton have a great squad, that compares to other top sides? Yet ours needs improving?
You really are an odd one

Everton squad is not bad tbh.Notabadsquad you think Everton have a great squad, that compares to other top sides? Yet ours needs improving?

ochlol:
I think many here are under-rating Salah because he "failed in England". But there's failing in England, and failing at Mourinho's Chelsea. KdB, Lukaku, Mata, Cudrado and David Luiz also failed there. Not sure we can purely blame the players.
Not great, either.Everton squad is not bad tbh.
It was a joke mate.
Sorry, haven't had enough coffee yet this morning.
Take it with a grain of salt
