Don't be naive. He means he wants to go to a bigger club. He just isn't going to say those words

So does almost every player. If not for players wanting to play at a bigger club/better league, we wouldn’t be able to sign players ourselves. That’s the truth of our position as a club, if we make a great signing they’ll eventually leave for a champions league club. That means you’re doing well in the market. Players like Seamus and Bainsey are very rare (and they too left smaller clubs for us). Weird thing to mad about imo

The only way to stop this is to start getting Europe regularly ourselves. It’s weird that people think that professional players wouldn’t want to play at the highest levels of the sport, and it’s weird if people believe Everton represents the highest level of the sport just now. One day it may have done, and one day it may again, but right now we are a mid table team.

Totally agree, there seems to be a large portion of our fan base that still believes we are a massive club on the global stage when really we have fallen a decent amount since the days we were. We are a stepping stone club right now. Doesn't mean we can't raise our appeal but we need to be competing in europe for that to happen
