Europe beckoning......the door to it is slowly creaking open. Just takes a couple of slipups from Arsenal and a few other teams above them. And of course, avoiding injuries.
I would rather keep out of Europe, as I don't think we'd have the squad depth needed to battle on all fronts. That said I wouldn't mind getting into europe courtesy of an FA cup win...
Ah but. Kenwright is opening up the chequebook for January
(don't know where the money is coming from though)
Probably a chunk of the Arteta money, I'm guessing some 2m or so. We won't be getting too far with that amount though.
Never know-if Heitinga does in fact go to Roma, could be looking at about 5 million-may have found some more gems at lower leagues too
In just a couple of weeks, Everton have risen from hovering over the relegation zone to closing in on the European spots. That's why I love the Premier League more than any other league in the world. It's been a good couple weeks for you Everton fans eh?
We'll have to wait and see. Heitinga leaving also depends on Distin getting a new contract or not, I'd think.
Yup. The usual November resurgance is now in full flow
Tbf, even without Arteta the Everton squad is still very strong so it was a bit surprising to see them that close to the relegation places, but they've done well of late.

I'd give him a new contract imo. He's been great for us. Forged a great partnership with Jagielka
Some of it down to bad luck (like injuries), but other times just inconsistent performances. Once we're consistent, can see a top 7 finish. Even Billy played well today. Which was unexpected lol
I love him, but he'd have to take a pay cut if he wants to stay. He's on high wages, and although he's earned them he's also reaching the end of his career and we're in no position to give away money.
Billy didn't have a bad match but he still managed to annoy me when he wasted a good chance in the first half - should've let Ossie take the shot.
Tempted to rename him Arshavineditnov-just for the inconsistency lol
