Romey 1878

You're right, but I have no faith that Everton will replace him and it'll be Pip in defence at least until January.

A transfer window like last summer gets you Fellaini, i.e. we overpay for someone at the last minute, so forgive me if patience doesn't seem like the best option right now. Off the pitch the club is shambles and now it's impacting on the field because we're not investing in the team. So players, all of them infact, know they're place is safe no matter how they play (just the same as last season) and they don't look bothered when we lose. Is this because when they signed new long-term deals they were signed on the promise of investment in the first-team? Whatever the cause it has to be sorted out in the next week or so when we haven't done it for the past few months. The new "problem" and cause of this is Lescott wanting to leave where last summer it was apparently Moyes' contract, but other than that nothing is different. Moyes can complain all he wants that now he has a limited time to find a replacement for Lescott and that City are to be blame, but come on, he knew Lescott was going to go so he should have been looking for a replacement weeks ago as a contingency. I like Moyes but he's got to take some responsibility for the mess we find ourselves in now.

It is a stupid fee but it's not going to help us because we won't have much of it to spend. Tbh Moyes has come out of this looking like a right dick head. He stated over and over that Lescott would not be leaving but that was obviously a load of bullshit, he was just playing a game (something he criticised Hughes for). But Moyes' game has backfired because it's fucked us up on the pitch and now we barely have any time to spend whatever amount he's given.

16.51 Everton target Rasmus Elm has confirmed he has made a decision over his future, but will not reveal which club he has elected to join. The Sweden international is expected to sign for Dutch champions AZ Alkmaar.

I don't know about our top players leaving but they must be wondering what's going on and where this club is headed.

I don't like the if possible comment at the end. We NEED players so the club better make it happen.

Pathetic. Season over before it's even really begun? I fucking hope not.

We've never lost our first two games in the Premiership, fingers crossed we'll get back in it in the second half.

Everton strike again!

He'll get £10million maximum IMO.

2 down now with both openers out. Ponting and Hussey are getting set now though, two players who could hit big scores.

Welcome to TT Matt.

Apparently been training at City this morning with the players who didn't play yesterday.

Moyes has been praising the way Neville has played at CB so I'd think he'll stay there mate.

Just read about this myself, absolutely shocking. He was stabbed in BOTH legs as well, end of his career maybe?

The Aussies could sneak a draw though with the pitch not looking that bad. Hopefully one or two of the bowlers have a good few days and clean these bastards out though .

I just hope Moyes has a replacement already in the bag so we're not scrambling around on the last day of the window and have to pay through the nose for an average player.

I don't think he's going to leave Newcastle tbh. They're making an announcement on the takeover on Monday and if Ashley is accepting an offer from a consortium who is going to install Shearer as manager Taylor will at least stay there til next summer IMO.

Isn't he actually from London anyway?

Simon Davies?

At least it's confirmation on Banega though
