  1. i always thought everton did their medicals at fairfield private hospital.

    modern day hospitals will have running facilities anyway, but then again, modern day training grounds have medical facilities too.

     

    im hopefull of richardson, for balance at least. alot of my manc friends have been slagging his contribution and attitude. but im happy to take the risk

  2. imo baines is good enough now, not just for the future!

     

    if we got him for £5-6m, and he plays regular football for 5-6 years then i think that will be good value. but we can more realistically have him playing for closer to 10 years (injuries and loss of form aside)

     

    quedrue is a quality player, and at £2m its a good price. but id rather solve a problem we've had for a while, on a long term scale, and pay the extra money for it.

     

    DM said last year he hopes to add a few higher quality players every summer.

    with Lescott, Johnson, Cahill, Arteta, Howard. these are players that will not need replacing for maybe 5 years. Baines could be added to that list

  3. im sort of with craccer on the ossie subject.

    he does have his good games, he does have a nice control on him, and can sometimes pick a good pass. but he is far too inconsistent, he is a useful member of the squad, but imo he is our weakest link in the midfield. if we could get a player with a left foot he would be the first one out of our midfield, and is the easiest to replace.

    i wont critisise his commitment, and he genuinely is a hard worker, i just think his weaknesses far outweigh his strengths

  4. dunno...defoe will make similar runs, and with greediness often comes more goals. you have to be a bit selfish to be a good goalscorer

     

    id take defoe over johnson if aj is 18 m... only because AJ isn't much of a goal scorer, h works hard and creates a few but his touch on the ball and his finishing isn't up to scratch

     

    i agree with you a lot of the time mate, but cant agree wsith that one. sorry

  5. haha our long lasting european campaign really put pressure on our small squad! all 4 games!

     

    be realistic lads, can anyone genuinely see us signing anymore than 2 more players in pre-season?

    we arent gunna go out and buy 5 or 6 players! its not realistic, and can also be a big change for the existing group to cope with. team spirit is a major thing at everton, too many changes can rock the boat.

     

    glad jags is finally here. not sure where he will play thou! im guessing centre half when yobo is away

  6. Get along to some reserve matches...good way to see which youngsters stand out from the others. Anchiebe stood out in every reserve game I saw last season...

     

    i got to about 5 reserve games last season.

    lee molyneux stood out to me, both of the keepers (ruddy/turner) looked good, and vaughan showed he was a cut above the rest. i was gutted to only see JPK for about 10mins, jack the rock for about 10mins too.

     

    good luck to young Hall

  7. terrible thing that happened. but it is a good read.

    especially the real life quotes, can imagine all the jocks pissed up ready for a holiday, then an excuse to beat the crap out of someone comes along!

    they must have thought all their christmas' came at once!

     

    im gutted no one filmed them sticking the boot into the twit!

  8. might be slightly off topic, but has anybody been to see This Is England?

    was a really great film imo, but with current times i think easily led people could be pushed towards recial hatred.

     

    for anyone whos not seen it, its based around some BNP extremists. quite racially violent. yet quite moving and difficult to watch in parts
