Its possible but I don't know if its possible to do this because it'll depend on what the players want as well. You never know perhaps Van Nistelrooy is winging his way to Goodison now

Anyone know where the rumour on toffeeweb came from?

The fact is Ferrari would have cost just under 4m. Moyes obviously thought he wasn't worth the risk at that price. He will also remember the Koldrup mess and that would have made him more cautious perhaps. The fact remains we have little money/investment so Moyes has to spread the money he does have around in the areas its most needed. Obviously a striker must surely be his priority. There is some good news. The new tv deal from 2007 onwards is a very generous one. Sky have paid over the odds and so all the premiership clubs will get around 20m each. I know everyone gets this money but success will depend on how its spent. Moyes past record is not good I know, but it shows there is some hope at least!

All I can assume is that there was a personality clash between Moyes and Ferrari. I think I've said before Moyes seems to have little patience with some people. Hope to god that Yobo and a. n. other are the first choice centre backs and Stubbs & Weir are squad back -ups. It could be due to limited funds we get a goal keeper on loan to back up or compete with Martin although its still possible that Wright will stay. I note that Moyes was saying he was improving recently. The funds that will be available will be spent on a centre back, midfielder and obviously a striker. I reckon something like either Johnson/Nugent/Jerome/McCarthy etc, someone like Nolan in midfield and a young centreback like say Lescott. However that would all cost something like 12m at least. We don't have it I know but perhaps some will be sold, (Kilbane, Davies, Naysmith) to make up the difference.

A caller who'd just been to the West Brom game said on 606: 'We're a one man team'. Lawro asks 'whose that'. The caller answers 'We haven't signed him yet'. This is perhaps a tad bit unfair to Arteta but it does perhaps show the disillusionment around the club at present. Moyes has to change this fast. He can start immediately by having a pro-active transfer policy that starts straight away as soon as the window opens. There have been too many last minute deadline situations. Transfers need to be completed early summer before the world cup. Using the world cup as a 'window' does not really work in my view. There have been loads of instances of players shining at a tournament and then turing out to be crap. Look at the deal Gary Breen got after a few good performances for Ireland. I know we have little money, I know players, agents, managers go on holiday etc. but I still think we could sharpen up in this area. The start we had last season has to be avoided this August.

Ive heard a lot of good stuff about Nolan this season:- http://www.nsno.co.uk/news.php?item.1726.5

Another summer of depressing news on the transfer front beckons! http://217.158.112.238/vsite/vcontent/cont...ws-item,00.html

This looks a possible transfer in. Anyone know anything about him? http://football.guardian.co.uk/News_Story/....html?gusrc=rss

Totally agree with the above. Surely this can't be true:- http://217.158.112.238/vsite/vcontent/cont...ws-item,00.html Surely that would be the last straw!

Humble apologies Adam I was too upset and didn't read the posts below!

Have folks seen this From Bluekipper:- On Saturday at 2pm before the Birmingham Match Matteo Ferrari got into his car at the Park End Car Park and drove off. Before doing so he spoke to the supporters there, one of who was my daughter (no better Evertonian walks this earth) he was smarting and told them that he had had enough of Moyes and not being selected when he was told he wasn't even on the bench on Saturday he saw his arse and went. Now what we need to know is the truth, 'WHY'. No lies no waffle tell us the truth whats happening with a good player that he storms off in huff. We can't afford to lose players of his quality. Why was Stubbs on the bench and not Ferrari? Surely players of this quality are our future. Please Everton tell us the loyal supporters the truth. Rollo Torpey. 62 year veteran and still a season ticket holder. (24/04/06)

I say he should stay but......it should be looked at again after next season and progress should be measured not just by our position in the league but also how we play the game. His need to improve transfer policy/bringing on youth has already been stated ad naseum.

Does anyone know anything about Anderson De Silva. What sort of midfielder is he is etc. and is he actually coming to us?

Claire do you know anything about all these Richard Branson take over or investment rumours. Did it just start because he attended a match once?

For me the real twat is Alan Green. Red Shite through and through. Never has a good word to say about Everton and quite rightly got hammered when he said that we over performed last season and would be crap this season. He was right mind....but its like your own kids you can criticise them but no-one else should dare to do so!

According to his interview in the Blue Room, Arteta fully intends to be here next season. By the way he was asked: 'What was his highlight of the season? answer:' The support of all the fans'. There was sod all else he could have said. He should have been a politician! To say Koumas couldn't do it in the premiership because of one bad season at West Brom is a tad premature. Its not as if we will go out and buy Ballack or Essien over the summer. He could be a good replacement for Lie Tie, (squad player), leaving us to spend the big bucks on a striker. He's good on the left wing and as Bluebird says obviously has more potential than kilbane so where is the risk?

Who was that short asse Scottish 'Spencer' we signed. He was a mouthy little git. that's all i can remember about him........ unsure:

I did hear from somewhere recently that a statement would definitely be made this year about the stadium and the options were now being closely looked at - but don't hold your breath.......

Thanks for the video Bluebird. he looks good especially with free kicks. His placement looks great. He could be worth a second chance in the premiership. Players do improve. I know Robson wasn't happy with his attitude and I could imagine him and Moyes winding each other up. Moyes seems to like yes men.

Yes I agree I want Arsenal, simply on the basis that i don't want Spurs to match what we achieved last year.

I'm an exile in London. Been lurking around the forums for a while and feel like Mr Angry much of the time, especially after Spurs. We should be better than them. Where is the investment! Supported the toffees since Billy Bingham days. I think Moyes is good for one more season. He has stabilised us but I really don't like the way we play. We are so predictible
