    This does not concern me. He'll get a few more than what Ibrahimovic gave them last season.

    Our Everton correspondent is less than impressed with him. Has to be said so is his new manager, otherwise why sell him a couple of years ago

    I would have to bow to PRSB of course (not literally you understand) but always struck me as very good forward option in an average team.

    Less of a risk perhaps than Morata who may have cost more.

    The previous with Mourinho I wouldn't read too much into, very odd club in their past transfer dealings with the likes of Matic who they sold and bought back, others such as Salah and Cuadrado where you would wonder why they ever bought them, then the obvious de Bruyne and this lad.

    Fúcked up really.

    Yes, ideally you want to shop in the Premier League. It's just not possible all the time.

    I think, if you want to win the league, you haven't really got time to nurture young strikers. Sadly, there's no patience anymore. It's just as well to let them develop somewhere else and even buy them back, if necessary, later when they're ready.

    I gather we've been watching our new chap for many years but Wenger was never really convinced. Until now, after the last couple of years AL has had.

    Essentially you are saying he is a panic buy, a player he never rated, a player forced upon him?

    Not at all. I think He just wanted to see more from him.

    No, you're right

    I think this has been one of the main reasons we have failed to win league titles under Wenger. The number of players he has signed from other PL teams is ridiculously low. I can only think of a handful. Chelsea, United and City have signed key players without needing to wait for them to adjust. Far lower risk that they won't be an instant success
