Why do you even reply to him!

Les Reed. To be fair, they've done a mixture of both. Young players with big potential and experienced winners to supplement it. Will be very interesting seeing how they get on.

The expectations at Everton are going to be huge this year, lots of pressure for the players and coaching staff to handle. They're a deluded bunch at the best of times.

This has been so sad to follow over the last year, but he has had one hell of a ride in a positive sense - getting close with his Sunderland players, leading England out - so many amazing lifelong memories for his family to carry away from something very tragic, no one should ever have to deal with what he went through - especially not someone that young. RIP little dude.

We'd be having vigils all over the place.

Lol. That's a pretty thin stick for Liverpool fans to hold onto. They are desperate.

Bit annoying that we have to go hunting around on random Austrian teams websites to get this info. If they can announce it, why can't we...???

And part of that was funded by Coca-Cola!!! Wright-Philips, the coca-cola kid.

He's going to Plymouth.

I think that's the only way you can really look at it to be honest. History tells us that replacing 1 key player with 'many' to make up the numbers isn't a guarantee. Will be interesting to see how it all turns out. I notice they finally realised that VVD was out of their reach.....there was talk of them being all over him in January.

Nothing to elaborate on, not in the know. The club have made their position pretty clear on this one I think.

VVD won't be going now.

Can you explain why you think he'd have done a job for us.....? Legs are gone at the top level, hence why he's now playing in the NPC.

Seriously, is there a striker they aren't linked with? Their stick their finger in the air and pick a striker approach didn't work last year, doubt it will work this year either.

Good luck Jay. Bit harsh that his only choice was WBA though. Wouldn't wish that place on anyone.

Nope, can't see that at all. As a club we've not put ourselves in that position in the summer window before. If he's still here for the first game, he's here for the season.

Exciting for Wolves fans. But let's be honest, they're no more than a Jorge Mendes holding pot.

Speaks very well, comes across very well, says all the right things and seemingly has all the right idea's. He seems quite a confident fella, won't be afraid to put his point across and say what needs to be said. Seeing him tower over wee Ross was a bit funny. It's a million miles away from the interview with Puel when he first came, a million miles. For a start, I didn't fall asleep.

I think the club will probably want to keep the fitness and GK coaches the same.

Good news re: the coaches he's bringing with him. I think we will all be breathing a sigh of relief once it's confirmed Black is out of the door.

FFS. That's how I buy players on football manager. So basically, I have the black box in my house. They should give me a job, I've been great at buying players over the last year who fit the 'high pressing' style. Maybe I should send Les my shortlist. There's a guy at Ajax....Nemanja Gudelj for midfield as a partner for Romeu, Callejon at Napoli if he becomes available for attack, otherwise Genki Haraguchi from Hertha Berlin to play anywhere across the 3. Sokratis at Dortmund for a VVD partner - or Alvarez Balanta from Basel if Sokratis isn't available. Give me the job Les.

They're bankrolled by a pretty hefty russian to be fair. They'll be fine.

I can't see anywhere for him to go to though.......
