quite a few of their best have played for us! do yo uthink that the 2 team dominance in scottish football over the decades has harmed their game. i dont think i'd be bothered if the same 2 sides won everything every season! and is this limited variety becoming part of the english game today?

whichever way you look at it we are rated the 9th richest club in the uk. that can't be too bad. the downside is that even rich clubs can still feel the pinch. arsenal sold viera, in part, because they didnt think they would get such a good price at a later date. huge transfer fees, agents fees, and player salaries are putting football out of business. and its a bill that the fans are always expected to foot. its reached a point where attendances will soon colllapse and so will a lottal clubs. that will be a very bad day for soccer.

greed is a sickness thats destroying football. greedy agents and players. and the fans are paying thru the nose to support both of them.

there s a lotta stuff here about the problems. http://football.guardian.co.uk/blueprint/0,,1563191,00.html It's a rip-off - and not just in the Prem Paul Wilson, The Observer Last month we predicted that empty seats and high prices would be the talking points of the new football season and, although Wayne Rooney has done his best to provide a diversion, the damning evidence was there to see in midweek. Football's empty seats even made the front page of yesterday's Financial Times While the product on the pitch is still recognisably English, and good, knockabout fun much of the time, life in the Premiership is far from fun for the dozen or so clubs who are scared to death of going down. Far too many fixtures are about survival and many are much too grim to be classed as entertainment. And money is the problem. Money is also the problem in a much more obvious sense - and not just in the Premiership - when you compare ticket prices around Europe. In the summer, Juventus signed Patrick Vieira from Arsenal and Woking signed Clint Davies, a goalkeeper, from Perth. It costs more to watch the Aussie stop the shots in a Conference game in Surrey than it does to watch the World Cup winning Frenchman at the Stadio delle Alpi. Woking £14 a seat, Juventus £13.80. Explain that.

its unreasonable to expect him to put up the cash the club needs unless he can see a return at the end of the day. abramahovs are a rarity. and they are getting even less common. a club has to be mainly self financing and profitable these days. the huge costs simply make it impossible for even a millionaire to make that much difference. nowadays you need to be a billionaire. players fees and salaries are simply pricing most clubs out of the market and there is nothing BK can do about it.

he has missed a lotta games and thats another bad sign, but it does make his goal scoring average better. every layoff is bad for a striker, he losed a bit of match sharpness. no-one doubts that he's a hard worker, but he's paid for scoring goals and i think we're looking for around 20 a season from a top striker. we'll have to wait and see how he finishes this season.

from the developers pov its good business. it puts his project on the map and adds value to it. but is it a good location for Everton?

he's getting better but he misses more than he gets and thats not a good sign. he puts in the effort and he's strong. the goal he got against chelsea he just seemed to walk thru defenders. but 7 goals in 18 games is distinctly average. let see his total at the end of the season. i still think andy Johnson of crystal palace would be a good buy. if palace dont get promoted this year i think he'll be available.

thats right... israel will issue a nuclear threat to the palestineans new government if any sort of terrorist attack happens in israel or anywhere else around the world... the palestineans have been warned! thats good. as israels in palestine youd be killing 2 birds with one stone!

You don't have to spend money to bring players in to cover. Can bring in a loan signing... not very likely in the january window. no club wants to lose players in the mid-season. thats why the january window doesnt offer much talent.

Pistone -- back in march. Vaughn -- back in March. VDM -- Feb. BT --- ? Li Tie -- ? Martyn -- ? Carsley -- ? WHO ELSE IN MISSING IN ACTION?

this is duncs last season at Everton. he's done a good job for us in the past but he's let himself and the team down on more than one occassion. pity. thats one reason why he isnt the player he could have been.

if you want to see a football match and drink watch it on telly at the pub. booze should be banned at football grounds.

David Nugent H 5'11" Wt12 13 DoB 02-05-85 Born in Liverpool, previous club : Bury. an england under 21. the rumours are that weve offered $4mill. seem like a lot. but he's young strong and a regular scorer for PNE.

WELL SAID ROB! THERES TOO MANY WHINGERS AND BELLYACHERS AROUND HERE THESE DAYS!

i won be praising anybody for bringing back stubbsy. so it doesnt matter how good a job he does or how well he plays?

Nobody considers us a threat anymore, nobody sees us as going places... check PMs please Java

his crossings excellent. much better than it used to be, he's obviously been working on it. he's rock solid and very little gets past him.

about as much chance as there is of you ever becoming a real Everton fan, instead of just the usual bellyachers we hear too much from!

moysey has the potential to be a great manager. given the very limited resources we have, he's done a great job. its generally recognised that last season we out-performed, i doubt if theres another manager in the premiership than could have done better with the squad. yes, we need another striker. but we dont need any of the strikers that were available last year, with the possible exception of one m. owen. and can u imagine him EVER coming to Everton? none of the others were serious contenders. i believe that in the coming summer transfer window there will be one or two available. andy Johnson of crystal palace would be a good signing for us. ive just seen that lpool have signed robbie fowler on a free transfer. he would have been a good signing, but again, can u see him joining Everton?

You have said the board will back you in the market sometimes you have to bring in players that are only as good as the players you have at the squad. NO YOU DONT! thats not a good enough solution to the problem. you end up wasting a lotta money that we dont have. and you finish up with the same problem again at a future date, but with no cash to fix it because its all been spent on also rans. Everton are a big club, but were not a big money club... yet. we have had injury problems all season. its just the way it goes. we could have done without cahill getting carded last week. he's been looking good in his last few games. what about hibbert? he got a yellow card too, is he out as well? he would be a real loss. he's been rock solid in defence. not a lot gets past him. it would be nice to have carsley back as well. moysey has got to make the most of who is available and being the kind of guy he is you can be sure he will. despite the difficulties at the start of the season we are starting to move in the right direction. i would love to see a full strength side out against chelsea because they were lucky to get a point of us last time they came to Goodison.

Everton are a great club. weve got a history and tradition that you cant buy no matter how much money youve got. we can beat the best out there today, and just becuase we cant buy our way into the top 3 doesnt mean were not a great club. you may as well just judge a club by its bank balance if your stupid enough to believe that what greatness is!

there was a lack of interest because he wasnt playing and was disappointed. also he sensed that he was on the way out.

I reckon the side is doing great. look at the results against chelsea and now aresenal. take into consideration we havent seen carsley for months and theres a few others in physio we could have a great finish to the season yet.

ENOUGH IS ENOUGH - for me anyway! We sign a Dannish international Centre Half for £5.1m - with a glittering career ahead of him. We play him twice (once as a sub) and he, as expected, struggles to get into the jist of the English game (Hyppia did the same). In sheer desparation, we sell him after 6 months for £3m (or perhaps £3.5m) to Fiorentina. so what. we sold jeffers to arsenal for 10 mill!!! how much did they get for h im?
