So do guys on my Men's League team, but they arent paid a fortune to 'stay in shape.'

An out of shape guy giving 100% isnt saying much.

They aren't amazing but they're definitely trying and appear to be going in the right direction.
The deal is the deal, Everton have improved significantly, probably the second most, over the window.

United are the clear winners of this move though. Rooney is past it and expensive and was becoming a selection issue whereas Lukaku is a beast. Fantastic player. He is basically Ibra if you could dial time back a decade, hes a phenomenal player.

Everton? They did as well as they did because of Lukaku and I think they're going to regress without him and Rooney's not going to help that.
