This is part of a regular series from our panel of Everton Super Fans. Each week, Super Fans from our Goodison News Facebook page will deliver their verdicts on the biggest talking points and news stories around Goodison Park.

Everton midfielder Allan has been linked with reuniting with Carlo Ancelotti at Real Madrid, but he has poured cold water on the reports.
Allan recently told Italian journalist Valter De Maggio that he is very happy at Goodison Park [Radio Kiss Kiss Napoli (via Area Napoli)], hinting that new boss Rafa Benitez can count on him for next season.
The 30-year-old joined Everton from Napoli last summer, penning a three-year deal, and is not keen on leaving anytime soon.
We asked our esteemed panel of Everton Super Fans over on Facebook what they think of Allan’s response.
One believes it is a piece of great news, and the majority were pleased to know that the Brazilian is not looking to leave Goodison Park.
Here is what they said:
With the likes of James Rodriguez and Richarlison linked with potential exits following the departure of the Italian manager [The Athletic], Allan opting to stay is a huge boost for Benitez.
The Brazilian was one of our best players whenever he was fit last season, and we can expect much more from him next term.
His recent comments have further endeared him to the fans, and he can expect a very warm welcome when the Goodison Park faithful fill up the home ground when the new campaign starts.
Allan is loving his time on Merseyside and could play a huge role as Everton look to establish themselves in the top-six going forward.
Benitez and the Brazilian will finally be working together after missing the chance to at Napoli, and we can always rely on him to give his best on a consistent basis.
He struggled with some injuries last term and was greatly missed, and we are looking forward to a fitter Allan in the coming weeks.
In other Everton news, Toffees could be nearing £40m+ player sale after advanced talks, ‘white smoke’ soon.
