Even if we sign Aubemeyang, it's still Kinnear calling the shots and Pardew coaching the team. The future is still bleak.

I read the football forum here a whole lot less now he has been placed in charge. There's always something with him, he's going to continue to say stupid things and make this club the butt of everyones jokes for the 3 years and beyond he's going to be here.

If we sell Cabaye, it's a massive worry over who's going to come in when any signing will have to be given the rubber stamp by Kinnear.

Aye, no ill feeling towards him.

Kone is a threat and would be a decent option, not necessarily a starter though. Is £5m really that much dead money for Everton?

Another opportunity for Joe to embarrass himself and the club.

Abeid is a disappointment but he's had a canny year in Scotland, he'll be sorted for a move. Amalfitano was a strange one given his age. Thought he was lightweight but forward thinking in his play. I don't think he'd break into the first team here any time soon. Was worth a shot.

Far, far too early to get pissed off over lack of transfers. That comes later.

I'd keep him around the squad as he could be an option off the bench if we're in a winning position. I don't think he's totally useless. But when Kinnear mentions 3-4 going out, you'd like to think it's someone like Jonas who is expendable.

Has anybody else had poo just come out of their ass?

Potentially one of the players Kinnear has spoken about moving on? Or wishful thinking?

Serious? I thought £2m would be about right.

Tomkins isn't awful, he's just extremely average. Williamson out, Tomkins in with the money we receive. I think that's a worthwhile swap.

Surely a better option out there for him than QPR.

Wish I hadn't read this transcript of the Monday night interview. Totally clueless this bloke. http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/joe-kinnear-radio-interview-line-by-line-1960189

The club are just working out how they're going to announce this. It's possible they might just not say anything and just let him crack on with his job.

"Neymar used backspin on his strike." "Good spot." I'm tuning back in at 8pm.

Alan Pardew; from zero to hero.

Have Dekka and Ashley just told this clown to come out to the media and announce it or has he done it of his own accord, I wonder? The thought of this man being largely responsible for handling contract renewals and bringing in new players is just astonishing. Remember when we qualified for the Europa League? Yeah, that's the pinnacle never to be reached again.

That idiotic fanpage "All aboard the Toon Rollercoaster" on Facebook trying to justify it as a good move as he "means what he says"... How many fans hold this view that this is a positive move? I can see literally no positive from this.

Honestly, this cannot be fucking real. Jesus wept. I have no problem with the idea of a DoF, but Joe Kinnear? What pedigree does he have in this role? What pedigree does he even have as a manager in recent times? We struggle against relegation with our good squad, and the answer is seemingly Joe Kinnear?

All depends if the money is right for the clubs invited.

One thing I hope we ask of him, or indeed any player leaving this club, is to not disclose the blueprint behind the perfect set piece.

Appears to be a model pro. Had a lot of stick the last couple of seasons but never shirked the shirt, deserves respect for still going out there week after week and trying his very best despite his limited ability letting him down. Best of luck to him if he goes.

Great news, he's a massive player for us. We now have a season or two to work out who to replace him with, and allow Mapou to adapt to the Premiership alongside a quality centre half rather than Williamson or even Taylor.
