heres hoping that there is some truth in it. id think if it was totally fiction it would have said we signed beckham or ronaldinho or somethin like that

some dodgy performances, but cant knock the cause

it only concerns players over a certain age i think. wouldnt be fair on preston and bury who put alot of time into nugent over the years

this is the first ive heard of the glasgow attack, had my head in a bottle most of the weekend. but im really worried about the london attacks, my sister and her husband live in london and my mum has been visiting them this weekend. the world we live in is certainly a troubled place!

you once owned an alfa romeo!

im thinkin most of our players from the 90's

i think Bjarni is about 18/19 now. but we havent really been short on centre midfielders have we? hes made the bench a fair few times. there is always a risk when bringing in youngsters. most teams will risk playing a young striker, as there is little risk of damage, but not many will try a teenage defender. maybe in a couple of years we might start seeing more of jack the rock too, but i cant see him breaking through till his 20's

didnt know that mate. but they can obviously still afford to buy players.

i agree with what your saying about not taking the chance on the quality like Ashton (it was thought he had weight problems when he was coming through) Bent, Sharp. but with letting the players go, since moyes has come in, the players that have been let go havent done much at our level. i stil honestly believe that if the players are good enough they will make it here at EFC. alot of people say about Hughes being let go (well, sold for pennies) i cant say i rated him.even for the reserves he didnt look fantastic. i still dont think Vic will make a top half of the prem type player. but Vaughan has more about him, and JPK has been showing signs of making the grade for about 2 years. when he steps up a level im sure we'll see another one of our youth system blowing up. hopefully finch farm will help with development too

Fulham are owned by Mohammed Al Fayed, the guy is minted big time! they can afford it

you mean the daily mail dont always tell the truth? how gullable have i been!

his record on skysports is fantastic! played 0 scored 1 good work!

ive so far had 6 years free roadside recovery. got a great deal on it from a company called Dad

id take wither defoe or keane, both quality players. would anyone take a cheap punt on mido? didnt get a look in last season, but the season before berbatov arrived he was quality! £1m?

didnt they sack the last manager who won them the CL? strange club that one! bent as fuck!

i watched the fedderer (spelling) game yesterday. i normally hate tennis, but i thought id give it a go. that man is a machine! his oponent played great, but fed is out of this world! and for the women - too right!

do you really believe there are no wealthy evertonians who want to buy the club? can you explain johnson ripping us apart and leaving us high and dry? dont forget, johnson put up the cash for all his managers to buy the players they wanted to buy. he had innovative ideas for the stadium issue. when he left he sold the club for what it was worth, just as he bought it for what it was worth. the problem johnson had was he hired the wrong managers, and im sure he would tell you the same

as a football manager, great, as a kopite, the same as the rest of them! seemed a gentleman from the things we hear about his relationship with dixie

GEREMI Geremi is available on a free, hes 28, but looking like hes off to the toon. could be a quality signing for them, big wages thou

JEALOUS! got to wait about 3 days!

truth is, not one of us knows whats going on behind the scenes, if we are trying to bring players in, if we are trying to sell. none of know. as always, with most summers, we'll just have to see. the biggest problem, we were spoiled last summer! now we expect it again.

i wont be happy with that mark, none of us will. but im talking reality mate, we cant afford to have 20 odd quality players on 30k+ a week. and with out buyuing them players we probably wouldnt have qualified for europe, so im quite happy we spent the money last year to buy some of the best players we've had in our generation

without buying them players last year, this year might not have mattered so much! i also want to compete on all fronts, and your right, this squad wont do that. but we cant afford to have both quality and quantity.

would you rather have a bigger squad of lesser quality players? like most of the past decade, or what we have now?

the squad has got smaller, but has better players. quality over quantity, its a tough one to call
