Swansea Invincibles? We shall see. Pedraza scores on his first game back from injury and with Cavani out for a few weeks, Brown is staking his claim.
(P.S. I hate Blackburn.)​

It would appear Mattia Destros' career has come full circle. £22 Million well spent, eh, Everton?

Still undefeated! I was thinking of selling Okore in January. I decided to give one last chance in the first team and he performed wonderfully at both defending and scoring, so he will be getting the nod ahead of Pepe for the moment. Speaking of transfers, January next and some interesting deals on the horizon.

Surprisingly quick for an injury prone 34 year old.

 

[TommyTomster]

He agreed to about 98K a week. I think his solid gold fortress is already full of money.
