Is he even serious Ben Arfa certainly isn't perfect or 100% blameless, but the idea that he can just "buck up his ideas" and it'll all be fine is fucking mental. 90% of this is Pardew, and that's being generous to the cunt.

Does anyone think he's hopeless, certainly doesn't seem hopeless to me.

Yep it doesn't take rocket appliances to see this would be a good move.

Sounds like the beginnings of Pardew backing down to me. Now if he's still at the club in a few weeks he can say "Atems been more professional so he's coming back into contention, I've always said he was still part of the club"..

Pardews always desperate to keep his loyal acolytes around him, only chance he has of keeping his job, fucking cretin.

Good window so far, no matter how much money we've spent fact is we've brought in good players. Also if not for Pardew I'd be very confident of top 8. I mean Ben Arfa and Yanga-Mbiwa back in and no negative mind alteringly shit tactics would make a hell of a difference. Still plenty of money there though, get Genier and Remy and we'd be talking about a great window, not happening though.

We're none-elite and I'd puke if we'd brought him in instead of Janmaat. Suppose that's because we had such a good right back already though. Yeah e's probably good enough for mid table and definitely for relegation strugglers like West Ham, certainly won't be close of their worst player.

Really can see West Ham getting relegated. Probably another case of Allardyce doing the damage and getting sacked before relegation allowing for the usual "See they sacked Big Sam and got relegated, never should have sacked him".

He's absolutely worth £13m, easily. Where's that price been mentioned though?

Haven't they finished above us every season bar one for the past 9 years? I think they are far superior to us in every way tbh. No, close though, every season bar two.

Definitely would have had a medical here, since we paid a loan fee and were contracted to pay his wages for a season. So we'd have to have had some kind of insurance.

They may well end up just as good, assuming no second season type of drop, the window is far from over after all.

He hardly started at all earlier in the season but started 9 of their last 10 Premier League games, got 4 goals and 4 assists. Everton had lots of important players last season and some more important than him. But he did grow to be an important player by the end of the season so losing him does make them weaker IMO.

How so? They've retained/signed Lukaku, Barry, Besic while not letting anybody note-worthy leave. Deulofeu was one of their best last season. I'm not saying they've done poorly in the window so far, far from it, they've done extremely well to keep Lukaku. Just saying that right now IMO they're weaker than Everton side that ended last season.

Great signing for Everton as long as they still have cash left to bring in more players. Because as it stands they're weaker than they were at the end of last season.

£24m for Lukaku according to SSN.

Place your bets on the date they'll be leaving, I'll go with 31st of August

Isn't De Jong more of a second striker than a playmaker?

3rd or above to continue the glorious rise

What is he even trying to say?

He'd just turn them down and stay at QPR IMO. EDIT: Though I suppose whatever he wants would mean he could get a raise compared to what he gets now at QPR, in which case yeah he'd probably go.

Didn't make any comment on the morality of his decision, just don't believe his claim that our position in the league played a big part in it. Despite being close to the relegation zone we were still in a far better position than QPR.
