Everton fan here lads, genuine post here, feel really really sorry for you guys, your teams been destroyed and your managers been poached. I thought Saints were playing fantastic football last season and I've never seen anything like the mass exodus that's happened to your team this summer in all my life. It should be illegal it's such a shame . What's going on boys? What's the feelings your end? Eds, you can leave this bit in or delete it but this is a genuine post not here to mock or snigger at all. Thanks

Excellent business in the main. Ricky was getting old and nobody is going to whinge at his last chance. Shaw wasn't worth the amount paid for him. Yet. Lovren is the biggest annoyance. His attitude was disgusting. I think we are all pi55ed at the attitudes of some who acted like stroppy kids to get the move.
Two good potential signings. We just want more in asap. Pre season building is not going to happen and a lot of worry about our ability to gel in time.
However. The management brothers have massive pedigree. Will be an interesting season

Financial constraints meaning readjustment for sustainable business objectives. Therefore players cannot be offered bigger wage packets, so they looked for moves where they are on offer. Since we did not need to sell them though, we received double up to quadruple their worth. Koeman gets a clean slate with the players that want to stay plus any signings he wishes to use to build a team that is his own. This could go on for years given FFP; until we are in a position where we are in a European spot and start receiving the benefits of that. It could be a roller-coaster of a ride for the next few seasons but this happens to teams who do well but are not in the top positions. However, seeing how Koeman has done well with the team in pre-season, despite the background issues, and with the promise of further signings I'm waiting to see how we perform against Bayer 04 Leverkusen to really see how we will do this season.

thanks for your concern
although we have had a bad time I personally think good times are not far away
glad pochettino has gone as he had no plan b
some opf the players that left lallana and lovren are just money grabbers as people will see this season
lallana is not that good but becoming an international player thought he is better than he really is he is just a one trick pony
lovren really peed the fans off with his comments about his head already at liverpool so glad he has gone as well but saints held out and got good money for both
lambert and shaw left with a lot more dignity and hope they do well
so we have got ourselves a very good manager in now who will do the business over a period of time
but it should be a warning to other clubs the so called bigger clubs do not care about other teams
but hope one day their bubble bursts
hope everton have a good season as I think your manager martinez is a brilliant manager and can break the so called big boys up

Cheers paddock sadly I think a lot of it has come from players getting massive ego's except lambert and chambers, the sky super 6 teams can poach who they want while ffp is in place only ones who cane offer massive wages to sit on huge bench, think it was designed for that purpose so the apple cart doesn't get upset but I am personally hoping u guys knock it over this yr, yeah we lost some talent but it's not as bad as media makes out, trust in koeman to ween out the bad apples who been upsetting the squad and couple signings in an kick on again, maybe a bit of consolidation season but I think we will be fine with money to spend in jam if we need to and next summer

Good, I 'm glad to see you are all keeping positive. The way you've been pillaged this year has slmost been a horror show, almost like a pride of lions just taking that they want from you, it's not been nice to watch as a fan of football forgetting who I support. For what it's worth, you guys know a lot better but I think Lallana will be found out at Liverpool I think he's massively overrated and you picked Liverpools pockets. Loversn? He's a s***house, for a professional footballer to disrespect his club like that you are best rid of him. Again you know better, I think United got a player in Shaw, I think he's fantastic but we know what it's like to lose a young prodigy to United in Rooney. Anyway, chin up lads, I hope you get a few in and have a good consolidation season. It probably will take a bit of time to gel players together but you have a good manager in Koemen and I wish you all the best for next season. I hope you break top 6 (behind us obviously) and wipe all the mercenaries eyes. I'll honestly be rooting for you next season
