Not Everton related, just wondering what would happen to Barcelona if Catalonia declare themselves independent from Spain and Spain reluctantly except the outcome. They would no longer be a Spanish team and therefore would have no right to play in the Spanish league. It would be interesting what UEFA would then do as they would not be associated to any currently recognised national football association so would the be able to play in Europe?

{Ed002's Note - Declaring themselves independent means practically nothing and the club will stay in the Spanish league - as will the others - Girona, Espanyol etc..}

I think both the Spanish and Catalonians think its a little bit more than practically nothing Ed.

{Ed002's Note - The Spanish don't - they think it is illegal and has no standing. It would be like the Merseyside Council claiming independence.}

Picking a team to win at the moment means leaving out some of the so called big names bought. but personally at the moment from what we have seen, injuries allowing I would go for the following team in the hope of a better balance but with a bit of experience at the back to fight our way up
Pickford
Holgate jags keane baines
gana
Vlasic Davis lookman
Rooney Calvert Lewin.

That's a good team Oscar. As in at the moment. Sig is not worth his place for me. Not putting him down. He just hasn't delivered as Klaassen hasn't either. Rooney up top with DCL is good pick imho. We were worse against Burnley with no Rooney. Can't see why everyone is blaming him.
He may not be delivery at the moment but please tell me, who is delivering better than him?

Judge Sigs when he gets a run in his actual position, I would play him over Rooney myself like as the number 10.

Fair enough bluegray87 you have my opinion, I have mine. So far and I know its early days but is he any improvement on Barkley? Who doesn't seem to have a hope of getting on when fit. Be the first signing made in January. Either by Spurs or Chelsea who are ahead of us.
Thing is I'm a Koeman man. I back him as much as I can but some of his decisions are very funny. Not playing Lookman or any wide player. Looks like he was covering himself by signing Klaassen, Rooney and Sig. Imho he thought he wouldn't get all three but ended up getting them. Then not knowing what to do with them.
Not saying I want Koeman gone. Still backing him but I'm not blind in my support. Some of his decisions are baffling.
