MikeO Posted May 11, 2013 Report Share Posted May 11, 2013 Take Ryan Giggs for example. He's played under SAF for his whole career so I can't see him staying on. Taking that as an example, Giggs has just signed a new one year contract. The guy who's taken him through his whole career has retired and hand picked Moyes as his successor. You really think Giggs is going to say.... "I don't care what Sir Alex thinks; I know better and I'm not going to play under Moyes....I'm off!" Would destabilise the whole squad if he and others reacted like that. Won't happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romey 1878 Posted May 11, 2013 Report Share Posted May 11, 2013 Erm, Moyes wasn't exactly playing Heitinga so he may see a new manager coming in as a reason to stay... Sibdane and Matt 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd rather promote Duffy to our subs bench and spend the money elsewhere. Iamryanstover and Matt 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoo Posted May 28, 2013 Report Share Posted May 28, 2013 Let him go 5 million by forren We dodged a bullet with Forren. He's nowhere near good enough for the Premier League and if we had bought him we'd have made a loss because of how shit he is. Yet another player who looks the mutts nuts in a foreign league but can't hack it in the English game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forget that the transfer fee might be low, hes on a very nice contract (50k Euro a year) which would mean 5m a year off the wage bill.

From hero to zero in less then a year. Theres a really good football player inside Heitinga. Martinez might be the guy to find him again.

IMO his tough guy demeanour played a very large part in his popularity. Matt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Posted May 29, 2013 Report Share Posted May 29, 2013 As regards to Heitinga, he would raise a few million for the transfer chest. I'm on the side of introducing Duffy more often cos i'd like to see the lad push on, maybe a new manager might do that.

We need to know if he is good enough, and with Johnny not able to hold down a starting role let him and his high wages go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve_E Posted May 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2013 Is there an interview with Heitinga that proves he said anything of the sort ? This is the source: http://www.vi.nl/nieuws/241692/Vertrek-Heitinga-bij-Everton-aanstaande-na-weigering.htm It's not a video of him actually saying it, but Dutch media are still a bit more truthful regarding "quotes" than English media so I'd be inclined to believe it's true. He's also said he was ready to go to Fenerbahce, but Everton "asked for too much money". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louis Posted May 31, 2013 Report Share Posted May 31, 2013 http://www.nu.nl/sport/3488508/heitinga-vindt-nog-vroeg-terugkeer-ajax.html Interview here: His contract is expiring in 2014, he's in two minds to stay 'til it epires. He says it's Everton's choice whether they sell him to cash in as he'll be a free transfer next year He wants to see if the new manager rates him. He doesn't want to extend his contract but he didn't like winning player of the year and then being demoted to the bench the following season. He wants to play for Ajax but feels he's too young to return there. He was close to joining Fenerbahce, Everton had agreed to sell him but Kenwright pulled the plug. He's still open to moving to Turkey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluenosetoffee Posted June 3, 2013 Report Share Posted June 3, 2013 Can you blame him for not signing a contract though? Like you say he won player of the season last season and this season he has been a bench warmer. Least he isn't one of these players who are happy to sit on the bench and get paid for it. (I know they have do training) Maybe when the new manager comes in he will look at him and go okay, good player. He might sign a new contract but first wants to see if he plays or not. Last season he was being linked to City, this season......nobody as yet. I don't think Moyes liked his attitude because why else wouldn't you play him? patto 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hafnia Posted June 4, 2013 Report Share Posted June 4, 2013 Another player who seems to fit Martinez style, he likes to build from the back. Wouldn't surprise me if he plays as one of 3 centre halves with Distin left and Jags right. Johnny is a footballer, no doubt about that.

I can see Jags and Buzz stepping up and Johnny being the reason the offside trap fails. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah suppose that is a factor. Then again I'm not sure about how robertos 3-5-3 works, can't wait for pre season games now though. How we play against the likes of the european sides will be an interesting glimpse as to how martinez will want us playing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
