Fellani/Baines, hoping for the best, preparing for the worst and remembering the past when other heroes went.
1. Hearing Alan Ball was off to Arsenal, me Dad dragged me to Goodison (reserve match) that night to slag off the board. they weren't there!
2. Alan Whittle to. (?) he won us the league in 1970 and then just went!
3. Gary Lineker to Barcelona for 2m, peanuts!
4. Howard Kendall off to some no marks in Spain.
5. Big Dunc going to Newcastle, that was like a death in the family.
6. Rooney once a blue, then a red.
7. Losing Steven/Stevens to Rangers after we got banned from Europe through no fault of our own. League Champions and Cup Winners Cup the previous season! (That still is an open wound for me).

Any others i've missed?

Let's just hope just for once we don't lose our best players in their prime.

Losing Jan Mucha on a free transfer has got to be the biggest loss. Awful way to treat a club legend.

Have to agree with you Mike, I've still not got over that. I'm absolutely heartbroken me.

Steven/Stevens. That signalled the end of an era, caused by those loveable rogues across the park. Blue Lee

Your reference to Athletic Bilbao as "no marks" is an absolute disgrace. Bilbao is a grand old club with a great tradition. Sound familar. You are supposed to be an Evertonian. Start acting like one!

Only young lad but seeing Arteta force a move to Arsenal was abit crap we gave him the chance in the prem and he was adored but fair play to him he wanted money and european football! However still think we give him to much respect when he plays us because he kicks f**k out of our midfield all the time

Look through the history books. To say we have been unlucky is an understatement! We won the league twice then two world wars broke out causing the breakup of our successful teams.
Then our most successful period ever was prematurely brought to an end by our bitter rivals with the Heysel incident.
Whichever way you look at it, it seems we are cursed!

Arteta didn't want a move, but was happy to leave after we decided to sell him. I don't ever say 'fact' but on this occasion it is the case.

Alan Whittle went to Crystal Palace on the same day ( I think ) that we signed Rod Belfitt from Ipswich. What a success he was!
