That's a lot of football and not a lot of goals for a striker, true. However, he's only played three games this season so far. I know you wrote this before Lukaku signed but all signs point to Lukaku taking over. Don't you think? Just based on what I've seen so far (mostly highlights and the full game against WBA) Kone hasn't been at all impressive. As people mentioned before there were so many chances against Stevenage he should have put away you'd think a pylon (or aforementioned "corpse") would have put those chances away.

That's my favourite too. wouldn't mind ditching the badge like

He's included in the team of the week by Sky. http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11096/8879850/pl-team-of-the-week This bit really bothers me though Really... because we really missed a beat when we shipped out Rodwell to fill City's bench and the local player quota. The players we couldn't hold onto in recent years are very few far and in between. I thought we really would miss Arteta but we did okay; Pienaar left, saw that he made a mistake and came back; Rooney leaving brought us the core group of players we have today... Lescott fattened up our funds as well. I don't understand what they're on about

but yes it would awesome if we pulled this one off - huge step up from the likes of Osman and Gibbo Also if Felli stays (probably not but who knows) it would be a great central midfield partnership, no? I mean I guess you could get gibbo/felli combo with honda trailing whoever is up top?

"Everton scored the fourth fewest goal in the top half of the English Premier League table this season - 55." Um, we also finished 6th so that's not really an unbelievable stat... lazy piece of journalism. We scored less than only one team below us on the table - Liverpool. Still would be nice to get more goals to finish higher though obviously

two seasons...

Finally going to chime in about the new crest. Not the biggest fan but not going to hate on it as much as some Evertonians. I did see some fan mockups elsewhere as well as here and I really like the idea of adding a circle around the badge with the motto. Found it - I really like this one: http://i39.tinypic.com/333wy8m.png But maybe "Everton" should be taken out of the badge and moved to the circle so that we don't repeat NSNO twice?

Would love to see him join Martinez next season but only if he's going to cost closer to the £10m mark or less than the £15m price tag being mentioned... I do think for £15m and above we can go for a couple of foreigners who will do just as good a job (maybe a bit more high risk high payout) if not better.

I think he would be a useful addition but not for the price that's being floated around... I think we'd do better to spend the money on a promising player who will pay dividends for years to come. And it saddens me to say this but to buy a player who we can potentially sell and make some profit off of.

A bit off topic with Duffy but if Martinez does employ his 3-5-2 formation then Duffy should stand to benefit from playing more? Especially with the talks of Heiting being moved on? Also agree with most of the people's sentiment that this is a great chance for Barkley to strut his stuff and start cementing his place in the starting XI

What happened to that Icelandic striker who plays for Heerenveen? Quick google search shows Alfreð Finnbogason - 24 goals in 31 appearances? Probably been posted before but... Looks good

Thats not the news i wanted! Can we appeal the decision?

As long as we continue playing like we did against Manure and Villa this is key. Also speaking of maintaining concentration while not being involved - I think the reason why De Gea looked so damn good against us was because he was tested often and was involved in the play early. Not sure if he's the best fit for United given that he will rarely be tested so often.

But that would be just too damn difficult! Ha ha. I'm glad we didn't sign him; even though he hasn't played regularly in a while but his name alone would probably command wages that would not really be suited to our club.
