Everton have shown signs of progress under Marco Silva but a decline over the course of recent weeks has shown there is still plenty of work to be done.
After heavily invested during the summer transfer window, the Toffees have taken great strides in their push to return to regular Europa League action but the squad could be damaged by departures during the January window.
The future of Idrissa Gueye continues to remain up in the air amidst heavy interest from French champions Paris Saint-Germain, with the latest suggestion being that the player is keen on a move but Everton are blocking an exit until their demands are met.
With PSG being able to offer Champions League football as well as the opportunity to play with the likes of Neymar and Kylian Mbappe, it is understandable that Gueye is open to a transfer but nothing will progress until Everton soften their stance or Thomas Tuchel’s side match their asking price.
With the headlines of the articles suggesting that Everton are the bad guys in the saga, plenty of Everton fans shared their thoughts on the matter and we have gathered some of their comments below.
