“Please be true”, “Good riddance” – So many Everton fans thrilled as exit report emerges

A recent transfer report has delighted plenty of Everton fans this week.

According to French newspaper Nice-Matin, Ligue 1 outfit Nice have opened negotiations with Toffees midfielder Morgan Schneiderlin over a potential summer move.

More prominent outlet, L’Equipe adds further weight to the claims by suggesting that they’ll pay between €8m (£7.2m) and €10m (£9m) for his services.

The 30-year-old is quite the divisive figure at Goodison Park, but based on the following reaction below, many would love to see him depart Merseyside ahead of the new season.

Schneiderlin has played just 18 times this campaign, averaging 65 minutes per game, and was not named in Carlo Ancelotti’s squad for our final two matches before lockdown.

Some fans even jokingly questioned whether we were actually paying Nice to take him or if they were actually offering money for the veteran midfielder.

Others have outright slammed him for his disappointing performances in an Everton shirt. Perhaps most summed up by one member of the Toffees faithful labelling him as “one of the worst signings from the Koeman era”.

Here’s what has been said…

Just checking – we'll receive the money not pay it 🤣
