At the start of the window, you lot were all going on about how we should sell Fellaini, Rodwell, Jagielka or Baines. All 4 of these are more important than Arteta and when you take his 16 million wages over the 4 years into account, and the 10 million gained from his sale, we are in such a better position financially and should have money to spend in January on a striker.

You might say that we have lost that creative talent on the pitch but no, actually, we haven't. Royston Drenthe is the best signing this club has made for a long time. His creativity, pace and fearless running at defenders will get us all excited on match days.

Not only that, but we also have the bright spark in Ross Barkley who looks like a 10 million signing himself! A class act who can play anywhere across the midfield.

Also taking into account that you were all moaning on here about Yakubu sitting off on a hefty wage, surely you all should be happy we have managed to get a fee and lose his wages?

The only bad thing you can really say is that we needlessly sold Beckford. I have no idea why we did this, but I suppose it's a 3 million profit in the space of 1 year, right?

One last point, is that, now that Arteta has left, we finally have a chance to allow Fellaini (who I will now bet my house on signing a new contract now the Arteta contract has gone) and Rodwell will start to be able to create a unique partnership in the middle of the park that can grow and flourish over the years as they're both so young!

People saying this is the end of Everton are idiots.

Moyes is a genius and I bet that Argentinian is another one of his gems.
