I’m actually starting to think we’ll sell him in January and get whatever we can.

Oh for sure, I don’t think they’d want to risk him going to Chelsea or United for free.

I’m surprised they haven’t expanded it...I remember they more or less made Blackpool add a few thousand seats back when they were promoted.

They ran into a bunch of issues with trying to get it expanded with the land owner, as he wouldn't sell to them. So they then decided to build a new one. But again ran into issues with the land owner about it. So now they are in the process of finding new land to build a new stadium they will own directly. So I think the Premier league has given then some leeway due to the issues they had.

Ok question to any Everton fans or people who watch them regularly, why exactly is Tom Davies considered such a bright prospect?

I've seen him play a dozen or so times, and I honestly can't tell you any real standout qualities he has aside from his stamina. He's not really above average at all in terms of actual technical ability.

Like, DCL I get, and I'm saying this as someone who doesn't even like him. I get why he is highly rated, he's very raw but you can see the ability there, you can see the amount of potential he has. With Davies though, I just don't get it. It almost seems like he was simply labeled a high potential youngster based solely on the fact that he broke into Everton's first team at a young age. He's not even remotely as gifted as, say, Barkley.

That's it—he runs around a lot and looks busy. He's a newer model of Mark Noble. He's English, and he runs, therefore he's a gem of a lad who has a bright future.

Foreign players who don't run aimlessly like they're a child chasing a ball (Ozil) are lazy—everyone can agree on that.

This little Everton run is quite annoying. Having to see the ****-eating grin on Big Sam's face after they play poorly but get another penalty called that isn't even a penalty to help them on their way. Gylfi's goal was nice though. Can we eventually get him on an actual good team so he can be properly enjoyed?
