Just curious how do you know these are good options? Do you know anything about these players? because at quick glance at their transfermarkt profiles they don't look like they are of good enough quality to improve the squad

I think that Barkley will flourish under Martinez and will show his true quality I also think quite a few other young lads may get introduced at the right times and will make a promising impression. That is certainky a positive attribute Roberto Martinez has he knows how to hand youth arguably well and I will look forward to hopefully seeing more of Shane Duffy, John lundstram, Vellios and other promising young players.

If he went we could get 2-3 cm for the money generated by his sale we could get the likes of marco van ginkel, leroy fer and many other young highly rated centre midfielders I think a good defensive midfielder would be Ignacio Camacho of Malaga not saying we will get any of them but they are highly rated and would improve our squad if fellaini departs

It says Douglas the 25 year old cb is a free agent in transfermarkt not sure how reliable it's record is though as I'm sure if he was he would surely have been snapped up now. http://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/en/spieler/vertragsende/basics_NL1_2013.html

I would rather any unknown defender who's young and reasonably good or promote from our youth team than hage any of these names being suggestioned. Alcaraz is too old and we already have an old and ageing team with ours being the second oldest behind Fulham. The age of our squad needs to be toned down by buying or bringing in younger players instead of buying old players.

We had the second oldest team this season behind Fulham so we shouldn't be looking at Maloney we need to tone down the age of the squad whilst also bringing in quality. Buying 29 year olds is wasting your money you won't get as much use out of him and he has none or very little sell on value certainly not enough to make a handsome profit in any form

Please tell me in what universe you are living on to think lukaku would be 'available' to buy this summer anyway? Also 10 million, 10 million?? Chelsea bought him for 17 million 2 years ago he's virtually a younger drogba what would possess mourinho to sell him at all let alone at a loss of 7 million when you could sell him for much more if they did wanted to sell him which is unlikely. The best we could hope for is to get lukaku on loan for the season.

Jelle Vossen and Imoh Ezekiel don't fit into the 1-striker-system we're likely playing.

Has nobody told you,Moyes has left? It is not certain that we will continue to a play a Moyes 4-5-1 or a 4-4-1-1.

Fellaini was an elbowing, 15 yellow cards a season player until Moyes calmed him down and he got his head on straight.

 

Fellaini is still is a 15 yellow card a season player and he is still an elbowing player he quite often elbows players whilst challenging for the ball or even holding it up not much has changed there.

Jozy Altidore has been good this season has scored 23 goals in 33 games for AZ bare in mind it's the Dutch league but he's been impressive this season. Andreas Cornelius. Wissam Ben yedder is more of a number 10 or an attacking midfielder but he has scored 15 goals in ligue 1 this season and he is only 22. Jelle vossen

24 years old and scored 16 goals in the Belgium league another would be Ezekiel of standard liege 19 years old Nigerian forward with 14 goals this season. Wilfried bony 31 league goals this season. Alfred finnbogason 24 goals this season and 24 years old I think.

You do make Pereira sound better, saying 2 seasons 1 defeat and 2 league titles. Then under Martinez 176 games 51 won 1 FA Cup and 1 relegation.

Did you mention how much the squads are worth together? Porto have a great set of players.

Wigan on the other hand, a lot of their players were injured this season as well and losing the likes of Moses, Rodellaga, N'Zogbia is going to be a blow for any side. Who did they get to replace them? Kone? They didn't have anyone who was good on the wings except di santo but even he had a lowsy touch.

 

Everton have Pienaar, Mirallas, Coleman, Osman who are better than any of the Wigan wingers. I don't class McManaman as a good winger, he minced Gibbs a couple of times in the City game but Gibbs isn't exactly the greatest LB in the world. Yakubu could have done the same to Gibbs and he turns slower than a tank.

 

I think Martinez stands out more than Pereira. He can get his players motivated. The only problem is that you don't see him angry enough. I can see Martinez going after the Arsenal game after getting relegated saying, we had a good run, we were unlucky.

Difference with Moyes is if we lost to Arsenal 4-1 he would have let the team know. Martinez is to nicey nice for me.

Gibbs plays for arsenal not city I think you mean Gael Clichy

I saw this on twitter and though it was quite good a definate improvement on the current one anyway

Now apparently we're going to have to wait till next week for Vitor Pereira to make his decision on his future. Another delay in our search for our new manager. I'm becoming very anxious on this topic now.

Vitor Pereira's agent has apparently said in portugese media today that porto offered Pereira a new 2 year offer and Pereira and his agent have apparently counter offered that with a new 1 year deal. Looks increasingly unlikely he could become our new manager now.

Can't see him moving he's probably fairly chuffed With moyes leaving and a new manager coming in as now he may got more of a look in

Fellaini was s 19 year old hot prospect that when signed got into the first team very quickly

As already said fourth official now Greg o'Keefe reporting it could be back on don't rule it out

We have supposedly agreed a deal for John stones right back from Barnsley anyone know if we will get another midfielder desperately need one osman looks tired and has played poor of late and Neville in the midfield doesn't work for me. We need to get either a defensive midfielder or a striker

He says that all the time though moysey does

Stupid really because we must have known about the knee injury scouts do their work and now we have obviously tried to get better terms on the deal and have failed now its off. I presume we will turn to ofoe who in my opinion won't be as good! Interesting to see what we pull out of the bag but have to say I'm generally disappointed was very excited by him coming to everton now that its off nothing but disappointment until we pull off more or even better deals. Is there any other young but already mature in their play big string defensive midfielders about lads?

@Everton: Everton confirm a deal to sign FC Twente midfielder Leroy Fer is off. http://t.co/pbjNEL1Y

The knee problem will happen in the long term not right away!! They have found a problem with his knee could be weak ligaments or whatever the matter is that sometime in the future whether 6 months, 2 years or three years there's a risk he found injury his knee severely or have constant minor knee injuries preventing him from playing in the see able future it's not about his match fitness now. We're trying to see us getting the best investment by making sure he's not plagued by injuries and I'd he is that we don't part with all our money at once and that we get our rightful usage out of him before they receive every last penny for him.

Well there isn't really hiding things when it gets to the stage to they're coming over to complete a medical would have been good if we could have kept the quoted figures and how much we have to pay away from the press and perhaps not announce the deal so certainly when thinking its bit quite a done deal

In some way all rumours on here have some truth he passed his medical although it showed signs that there maybe a recurring knee problem hence why everton wanted to renegotiate the instalments on payments with some of it to be payed when he makes a certain number of appearances nothing sinister about it sounds like twente are the sinister ones in this

So fc twentes chairman wants more payment upfront and less amount of time in instalments do you think 3-4 million upfront and the rest paid within a year would be enough to get him because that would be the same as we bid for yann m'vila a week ago
