    You dismissing Everton's signings like I remember some Arsenal fans, probably not you, dismissing Liverpool's signings last summer as they claimed you would be moving up the league last season rather than down it.

    I obviously rate Everton's signings higher than you, fair enough everyone is entitled to their opinion. We will have to wait and see if your dismissal of them comes back to bite you in the arse at season's end.

    Out of interest, now Wenger is staying where do you think you will finish in May?

    4th or 5th. Depends if Sanchez stays and if we take Europa seriously or not.

    Which of their signings is going to make a big difference?

    Pickford - -maybe, but he's only a keeper and it's not as if their other guy is rubbish
    Keane - no better than Williams or Jagielka
    Klaassen - no way he's any better than Gueye or Schneiderlin
    Rooney - fat and s**t
    Ramirez - most will concur that he's probably not going to be as good as Lukaku

    They've got a bigger squad, but it won't be as good as their 2016/17 team without a top class striker to score all the goals that near enough only Lukaku was scoring for them last year.

    You won't win the Europa if taken seriously or not. Wenger is terrible in Europe, his record is ****.

    Good story. Who are you arguing with who said we'd win it grumpy chops?

    Personally I think Keane is a fair bit better than Jagielka, particularly based on the last couple of seasons, and Klaassen plays AM so a comparison with Gueye and Schneiderlin is pointless. Sandro is unlikely to be as good as Lukaku, but can let them build a more balanced team which isn't as reliant on a single striker for goals. And I don't think Everton are done in the market yet.

    I don't think they will break into the top four or anything, but I think they will be a lot closer to it. I reckon the top three this year will be City, Chelsea and Utd, with Spurs, Arsenal and Liverpool fighting for fourth, but Everton may sneak in around 5th or 6th with a good run. I certainly think they will be higher up the table than they have been for a while.

    If Arsenal lose Sanchez then i can see Everton finishing above them. One average striker from France won't help them one bit.

    Apparently he asked Zlatan for permission even though he isn't part of your team.

    Agent Pogba has done his job - is great how much he loves being back in your red as well.
