And Spurs and New Castle haven't done anything with their money. When was either team champions of the PL?

I imagine it's also a factor that Everton are a long shot for the Champions League. So, the Big Four can both pay more and offer more (potential) glory, at the likely price of being benched a lot more often. I'd bet that the latter issue is the main thing that would keep Stones at Everton... Stay a Toffee and start every match, or go to Utd or City and make more money but ride the bench.
The extra TV money will help the squad, but at the same time *all* the teams will benefit from the deal so the Big Four will remain the Big Four.
I think Kenwright is basically happy with the size of club he owns. He'd rather be financially responsible and have a quality team that's an EPL perennial than potentially go into huge debt in order to win the league.

My ESPN app tells me that Macca has just signed a new 5 year deal.
The same source tells me that Mirallas has signed a new three-year deal.
Anyone have a recommendation for a good Everton supporters forum? There are... a lot of Everton forums.
Rumor mill is saying that Baines has re-aggrivated his ankle injury and *could* be out up to twelve weeks from the start of the season.

Yeah, that's the main one. I don't think any other Everton forum comes close to it.
Well, thanks, all! GOT account created, just in time for the new season.
Ugh. Well, you have to credit Watford here. Honestly they deserved to win that match.
I hope the lesson Martinez had learned here is that the whole squad needs composure under pressure. I saw way too much panicked "passing" that undermined so many potential attacking buildups.
Impressed by Galloway despite really missing Baines.
That Kone goal assisted by Lukaku was a perfect illustration of why Martinez needs to play Lukaku as part of a duo up top rather than as a lone striker. I really hope we see a quality, quick, aggressive striker brought in by September that Lukaku can act as a target man for.
Hey, at least it wasn't a loss!

I hope we are still in the mix for Charlie Austin...
Everton have signed 18-year-old defender Mason Holgate, whose name I only recognize because I actually brought him into my NYCFC squad in FIFA 15.

Any good in FIFA? What I've heard is he's got potential. I feel like Roberto is taking a very patient approach to building our roster. We've been surprisingly good at holding on to the quality we have and bringing in pieces here and there. If Holgate is good enough to step into the first team within the next year or two we could have a pair of solid young center backs.

What do you guys think of this signing? I've never heard of the guy and can't really put in my two cents because of this.
Hard to say. I rarely brought him off the bench because of his low rating.

Why would you buy him off he had a poor rating?

Like I said, I've heard he's a promising English defender, but Martinez has admitted he's not expecting him to perform in the Prem right away. One for the future. He'll go to the U21 and we might see him for a game or two later this year.
He was cheap, 18, and an investment for the future. Sort of like what Martinez probably thought!
Fantastic win today, and even better to break the hoodoo of losing to Southampton away after the last however many times that's happened.
Tossup for MOTM between Lukaku and Barkley for me... Lukaku obviously scored twice, but Barkley's goal was choice and he had that gorgeous assist to Lukaku.
Beautiful day to be a Toffee.
