I don't want to make another thread on "who to root for" since there have been so many already, so I'll just ask in this thread. Is Everton the team for me? I'm leaning toward rooting for Everton because they don't seem like a club that just spends more money than everybody in order to win, unlike teams like Chelsea and Man City. Of course I love Tim Howard and I think Ross Barkley is going to be pretty good in the near future, so this could be a fun team to keep track of.

There isn't a player on the roster that isn't likable. Unless you're a fan of a rival club, of course. We built our team from the bottom up (our U-18 squad won the U-18 Premier League title for instance) and we try to develop players rather than spend an endless amount. Not that buying a ton of good players is wrong, we're just using our resources just like every other team in the league.

With that said, we aren't a small club by any means either. With this new TV deal, we have more money to spend than we ever have.

And of course guys like Seamus Coleman and Ross Barkley make this a fun team to watch for sure. Seamus is considered a top five RB in the league and he pretty much came out of nowhere.
