There are people out there who don’t even know what Teams is. They’ve never used Outlook and have never had to log in 47 times a day through Microsoft Authenticator. They’re living the best life imaginable.
So Everton have looked at spurs paying 100m for tonali, 85m for Savinho and gone yeah we’ll have Ndiaye for 60m and you can give us 35m back for Richarlison

Evertonians have been through the mill enough over the past 30 years let alone the past 24 hours but selling your best player to a club that's finished below you in the past 2 seasons doesn't scream ambition, it's the opposite.
The problem that we will have (England) is that we cant and never have been able to break down a team (decent ones) with the exception of set pieces. Whilst set pieces are the ultimate importance, we lack the craft and guile to put teams away without them.
The fatal flaw with democracy is that the skills required to convince people to vote for you are completely unrelated to the skills required to successfully run a country.
That's the difference between us and them. They finish fifth and it's not good enough so they sack the manager, we finish 13th and the managers giving interviews about how Alex Ferguson bullied him into submission. We're a pathetic excuse of a football club. Stability FC eh lads?
I think any progressive and ambitious Premier League club should now spend whatever they like and push the boundaries way past compliance.
Because if you only receive a paltry fine for adding players who materially helped you win trophies then it's worth it.
Was massively pro spending rules but clubs illegal spending prior to PSR isn't being punished at all and I bet those clubs are pissing themselves, all while clubs with the money to compete with them today are having to audit every fucking toilet roll, with promising home grown players being horsetraded like meat in order to comply with PSR.
Clubs and supporters should always support rules which protect our clubs from themselves at times, but dishing out fines that some clubs can find from the back of the boardroom sofa while directly profiting from the players "illegally" purchased makes a mockery of the system.
