A few Everton fans have said that he's hit the ceiling with us, but it's highly improbable that he'll surpass that with Everton - which is practically a top 4 position.
They're also under the impression that we think we're the dog's ******** now. Sure, they're a bigger club than us and the past two seasons mean little in our historical/future standings, but the reality is that they're just another stepping stone when compared to potential opportunities, and it's hardly a massive step.
Arsenal, Barcelona and the Netherlands are strong possibilities when the inevitable happens. Not Everton.
