    No, they are on there, but usually on extreme delay.

    Rightfully so, though, they are terrible.

    Stoke too low. Or maybe not, we've got off to a horrid start.

    Based on how they have played so far I think you have Lividpool too high. Likely closer to the 8-9 range if BR doesn't get his head out of his ass, which seems unlikely to happen.

    I feel like the midtable is better than its been in a long time and the top 4 is a lot worse than its been in a long time.

    City look as close to the best they've ever looked. United being meh is the only thing that really hurts the top 4. last years top 4 was way worse imo.

    I get the feeling that the whole Stokalona thing is going to end horribly. The fact that Shaqiri is making so much more money than the rest of the team, I fear could set off a disastrous chain of events.

    I don't know the specifics but it's roughly double what the highest earner on Everton makes. I imagine Stoke's wages were in the same ballpark as Evertons before he signed with them.

    He's on ~60. Shawcross is at 50. Most other starters are in the 30-40 range.

    I doubt it. We've finished with highest point totals ever 2 years running. I don't see any big reason we'll collapse. I think we nestle nicely in the 8-12 range for the foreseeable future.

    I mean, no one really knows until it is divulged by club or player or agent... But that's the number we've been seeing. He is still our top earner ever, so there's that.

    The source I trust the most, The Guardian, corroborates what you're saying so that's probably as much proof as we'll ever get.

    Unless Shaqiri buys his own island or something.

    Now I'm mad that Everton didn't try harder to get him.

    We broke our transfer record and still managed to have the lowest net spent of all PL teams.

    Allegedly we are sitting on another 20£ that we can spend in January because we didn't now.

    McClaren and the managing director for Newcastle have said basically the same, so I expect we will make a move or two in January and have another big summer in 2016
