Oh Will, come on man, sort it out!

Glad when we get some extra bodies in and hopefully ditch this awful 5 at the back.

Assuming this game is not shaping up to be a classic.

I think that means he can do any hours we want.

5 at the back gives us an extra centre back we don't need and one less midfield or attacker that we do need.

Not watching a stream but is it safe to say our football isn't flowing so far 🙂 Don't like this 5 at the back formation. Think it stifles our creativity.

West Ham looked almost as bad as we did last season.

KWP coming on.

Guess we'll have to take his word for it then. Of course it could easily be a bit of propaganda from the Everton hierarchy to make them look smart 🙂

How do you know this? Were you part of our negotiating team?

5-1. Chelsea filling their boots. West Ham look bereft of any fight or ideas. JWP treading water in midfield.

4-1 Chelsea and stadium is emptying.

How's he playing?

Everton being used as guinea pigs by the big boys - if Tyler is brilliant they'll all swoop next summer.

He's young so more money and more Premier League experience. If West Ham go down they'd be forced to sell him and he'd probably have a release clause anyway.

West Ham now 3-1 down - looks like they need Fernandes 🙂

It's fairly obvious the big boys are going to wait and see how Tyler does for Everton. If he does well they'll be gathering like vultures next summer and we won't have to wait long for our sell on percentage. Also wonder if his agent will insist on a release clause. This all smells like a stepping stone type move.

Mind you, they've started well. Cracking goal!

If West Ham struggle tonight they'll be back in with a higher offer for Fernandes that's for sure.

Not going to be easy for the lad because now he has the added pressure of a huge price tag round his neck so the Everton fans (not known for their patience) will expect to see instantly exactly what they've spent £42m on. I wish Tyler luck and, if he does well, we'll get the chunk of sell-on money.

But they have bought potential. Tyler is 19 and yes, he has bags of natural ability but remains to be seen how good he will become. I'm delighted with £42m including add-ons and a good sell on agreement.

Think we've pretty much pulled their pants down with this deal for a 19 year old who is more potential than finished article. Guess we'll see over the next couple of seasons. Good business for us as far as I'm concerned.

Agree with this line up.

If true this sounds like madness.

I think Mads will be on the bench.
