Tadic and Cedric next please then that's just about everyone, although I think Cedric still has three years anyway.

Our previous manager hasnt exactly pulled up any trees at Everton either and hes been in the job longer than Puel :-)

the players in away matches. Next question please !

well not that ridiculous, only 6 games being played at same time or before on the opening day and goal difference determines who will be top not letters of the alphabet. ;-)

Yes the Everton link is just lazy journalism again. No way could I see Tadic playing for Koeman !

Dont forget Gardos is now fit, he wasnt cheap and through injuries etc we have never really got to have a good look at him or given him an extended run in the side.

I think we will soon know either way. As they are back in the UK until Friday IF Tadic is going to sign a new deal I would think this next week is the window for Les to get his pen out and the photographer at the ready !

well his actions and treatment of Targett at Leicester as well as ignoring Harrison Reed after what looked a very encouraging start a couple of seasons ago tend to support that opinion.

Thats not totally true though is it?. A couple of loans were cancelled last year because they were not getting games, one of which I believe was Sam Gallagher !

yeah unbelievable. big season for Clasie I feel if he wants to hold down a regular spot. Never got going last year but I think he has the ability to prove a few wrong, hopefully.

I think the Tadic departure spoken of earlier was more likely if Koeman had stayed !

Anyone else at the stage of not knowing who he is but desperately hoping this is true and we sign him ?

you will see a lot of arguments to back it up if we don't win the first game by 4 or 5-0

Well you have answered my question with your first question - what was Sammy's contribution ? I think with all his experience he was much much more than the bib and cone man, he has managed, albeit poorly, and coached at the top level, he was on the England staff at one point (under Sven?) and I cannot see that his knowledge and experience were wasted for two years. My point is that SKD will have nowhere near the qualities that Lee has. A good addition to the staff - of course, but as a replacement like for like, no way.

in what way ?

yes

Well I hope Gallagher has improved one hell of a lot then......

i must say its a little worrying. Not sure I would be happy relying on the fitness of Austin and JayRod, not to mention Jay getting anything like decent form back. Will Long have another season like last year ? His record doesn't suggest it. Hopefully at least one of Mane or Pelle will be replaced after all.

Future England Captain JWP !

its just a bit of fun i suppose but it is over the top just a tad !

that just about sums it up yeah

well with no disrespect to the club's listed he has come to a club that finished 6th last year in the Premier League so arguably this is the biggest gig he has had as a coach so we shall no doubt soon see if he is any good or not. The fact no top club has bent over backwards to add him to their coaching set up hopefully doesn't suggest what I'm thinking it might suggest :-)

Do we know if it was his choice to leave or the club's ?

i assume that's as cover, if he's their number one then the Everton spending revolution has got off to a shaky start.

cos he speaks French apparently whereas Sammy only speaks Scouse !
