I suppose the offer of a higher salary is hard to turn down (even if the guy probably has more money already than he'll ever spend). As for the three players you mention, Stones is criminally overvalued (£50m? Seriously?), and Barkley has had a poor/mediocre season. Lukaku has been good for them though. Still think there'd be "bigger" jobs going in the not too distant future; Barca, and the Dutch job to name two. Still; the new season will tell the tale.Its a step up for him, the expectations at Everton by the club and fans will be a good yard stick to how good he is as a manager. Plus his wages has probably doubled. Once he signs it will be reported that Stones Barkley and Lukaku are going nowhere.

If anything it just goes to show the lack of ambition at Southampton, they could match if not better any deal Everton could put together, they're by no means skint with the added bonus of European football next season. If i was a Saints fan i'd be fuming with the lack of ambition my club had shown over the last few yearsI suppose the offer of a higher salary is hard to turn down (even if the guy probably has more money already than he'll ever spend).

Which also reiterates my pointThere's also talk of another player sell off by the club this summer - Wanyama - Long and Pelle earmarked for the summer sale. Maybe Koeman disagrees or got pissed off with this summer in summer out?
strange one.
He was Everon's first choice once Martinez left. I couldn't see it happening though
A mate had £50 on at 8/1
