Everton 3 - 1 Palace Lukaku

Out of interest it seems he may be out of contract in 2015, judging by his signing of a 4 year extension in 2011 (Wikipedia)

If he has ever been linked to a transfer in the last 4 years and quoted at £2 to 5m, then that story was also bollocks

Out of interest, what makes you think that? Is he coming to the final year of his contract or something? Even if he is then he would still command a decent fee. Has his lack of playing time for arsenal affected his starting position for his country? If not then he'll also have a World Cup in which to showcase himself to potential suitors

A strong argument to be made that we've got the best full back pairing in world football right now, which is pretty awesome

Haven't the article but I imagine this is bollocks. They'll want at least £10-12m I would think, plus his wages will be pretty high. And he's 28 so before you know it he's over 30, and he's also had some injury problems in the past. I'd be amazed if Roberto even considers for a split second blowing half his budget on a position that isn't a priority at all and is pretty well covered

http://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/champions-league-everton-fc-arent-6853774 This is from a few weeks ago but at that time he said he hopes to be involved in the last 4 games of the season. Also he has a lot of praise for Roberto, resckons he's the best manager in the PL, also thinks champions league will be achieved next year if not this year

Sunderland 1 - 3 Everton McGeady (due a start)

Wow didn't expect that! Very interesting, it sounds like he's been planning this a while. So if Barry does sign it would be a 2 year contract anyway probably, due to his age, with Baines phasing into his new position gradually during that second season? Or alternatively do we think Barry might not sign now, and Roberto might go with this from next season onwards, Brian playing left back??

I would also say go for it if the chance is there, but I agree with an earlier comment that I wonder what his attitude will be like if champions league isn't regularly achieved....

Even I don't stream THAT much porn! Haha

Am I right in thinking that the loan fee will be waived as he's featured in 50% of games? Assuming they count sub appearances as well as starts of course. That would be an even better bit of business in that case

Yeah I agree. In a way they both deserve to play, as does Distin, so it's a bit of a dilemma for Roberto as there are pros and cons for both Jags and Stones. Whoever he picks will be there on merit

Sorry to be pedantic but arsenal don't need to collapse for us to finish 4th. If we win all our remaining games we finish at least 4th. So arsenal could win all of theirs except their trip to Goodson, and still finish below us. That wouldn't be a collapse Not saying it will happen, but can always hope

The other two: Caulker, and.... ?

Neither.... wouldn't buy an England shirt, and the flights to Munich every week would soon add up

Me too. Still hopeful of 5 wins though to smash it

Barca wouldn't consider him yet anyway I don't think, too soon. Maybe if he'd been involved in their academy or coached their reserves / youth team, but he's spent as much of his life in Britain as he did in Spain. I don't think just being a Catalan and winning one FA cup is enough for that job just yet.

Sky Broadband, unlimited usage (I don't think there's a cap as the a 'on demand' thingy uses data to download shows so it would be quite a high usage each month). Can't remember what it costs, £7.50 I think on top of the Sky subscription. Speeds are 18 to 20 download and 1.1 to 1.2 upload, so quite lucky really to get that download speed on plain regular broadband

Realistically there hasn't been any other options that would be better anyway. Yeah I can see a blunder coming too, but all things considered he's still a good keeper

Either a dull 1-1 De Gea saving loads, or they'll get bummed with Bayern scoring about 4 or 5 goals. Last two good teams to play at OT both won 3-0, and Bayern are a class above...

I'm not sure Martino will appreciate Gerry implying that he's a goner when his contract is up in 12 months haha. Could work in our favour though and Martino might send him out on loan again as punishment for pimping his job to Martinez

On current form this would be my 11 as well. Possibly a bit exposed defensively with only Gerrard in front of the back 4.... but no guts no glory!

Having said that, and considering he's a blue, I would still offer £6m and see what Spurs say, you never know...

He'll be off back to Germany unless someone is going to offer him first team football, not rotation. Probably would have gone to the World Cup if he hadn't left the Bundesliga, was pretty highly rated before his move to Spurs. and I'm sure he still is rated back home
