For the love of god have mercy on my soul. Is this the best we can do after losing out on a quality player like Fernandes? I will be very embarassed if this is the only bit of business we do.

I'd second that, if all we can muster is andy cole then god help us! Would rather have big dunc back for 6 months than have cole here.

id take luque, weren't we in for him when newcastle signed him. wouldn't be surprised. There are two certanties in the footballing world, if we want to sign a player Newcastle will get him. If we don;t want one of our players anymore Fulham will get him

i agree comletley. A Big fat NO

disagree ... suprised u wud say tht

 

cole has proved he can still score at this level, and is both technically gifted and experienced, which is something that we need and could also aid the development of a youngster like vic

I just don't like Andy Cole anymore, its all a matter of opinion of course but i just don't think he's the type f player we need. If i had the choice of having im the squad or not having him at all i simply wpuldn't have him.

He's too slow and more interested in picking up his py packet than putting in strong performances. He's gready and we should steer clear. I don't want to go back to the days of Smith were we keep on signing has-beens, Gazza, Ginola and Hughes anyone?

wrong

well we do have some money! there is money from the killer deal and davies sale

NOOOOOOOO To Andy Cole, NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO!

Signing an old stirker is just as much risk as playing a young and inexperienced one, give victor and young james the nod ahead of cole everyday of the week even if we had him in the squad.

Going for cole would be a step in the wrong direction. NO

we all know that we have money, i reckon that were holding onto it to take out loan signings into full signings. (Howard and if it ever goes through and hes any good Fernandes)

Still think that we should have signed a left footed player, thought it was stupid getting shot off killer on deadline day with no obvious left footed replacements. I really thought we would have replaced him by now.

But i guess im just being stupidly hopeful. WHEN WILL I LEARN

We must have money to spend don't we?

 

Kilbane - £2.5m

Davies - £2.5m

Rooney (on signing a new deal) - £2m

 

That's more than enough for Barton!

 

And while we are it get rid of:

 

Teflon - £1m

Naysmith - £1.25m

Pistone - £750k

McFadden - £2.5m

 

That's another £5m!

 

Personally, I'd sell Osman (£3m) too but that leaves us very short of numbers.

 

Replace them with:

 

Barton £5m

Baines £3m

Nugent £6m

We should have the money to spend, and also if Man Utd win the league don;t we get more money becasue of some clause.

I wouldn't sell Osman, think he's a good squad player. Reckon we should get shot of Pistone and Wright though. And sell Mcfaddenpants AFTER we have signed a new striker.. AFTER being the very important word in that sentance.

he's hardly played although i think he will be better than victor.Incidently do you think we'll see kissock play before the end of season?

i hope so, but knowing moyes i would say no. I would also like to see abit more of Vivardson. i have always liked the look of him and it was good to see him get a goal at the wekend. Thikn he will develop into a v. good player

Ha, the original message from Everton Lad has obviously got us all excited, about 8 messages sprung up straight away

from icliverpool -

 

"Everton will find out today whether their attempt to sign Manuel Fernandes on a six-month loan has proven successful.

 

Contrary to claims from the player’s club Benfica, the Portuguese midfielder has not yet signed any contract extension with his present employers nor completed any move to Goodison.

 

Everton are trying to structure an agreement over the player’s registration which is acceptable to the Premier League before the transfer window slams shut at midnight."

thats interesting, (him not signing a new contract) i was woried about that. If he had just signed a extension then i couldn;t see him giving 100% for us as he has nothing to fight for or nothing to prove. He would already have along term contract at benfica and no real chance of a transfer to us so why would he fight for his place or play with a passion for the badge?

hope he hasn't signed an extension and i really hope we get him now.

Not a bad idea, but i doubt we have got the money to persue a case.

and also its probably in the FA's interest to allow teams like Liverpool have their own way becasue their in Europe and that means more publicityfor english football, and more money for english football,. or more importantly more money for the FA.

I would be happy for Johnson just to make an appearance

 

I do have a pre-empt feeling to if victor plays he will have a stunning game it seems to be the big games he plays best

 

Well if you watched him against chelsea thats my judgement on him

 

The derby means more to the youngsters

i agree, gives them a chance straight into the hearts of their fans.

give victor a start. i thought he gave a very strong performance against chelski.

and he's a slight unknown quantity, he hasn;t played that many games so people still don't know what to do with him.

I rate him and hope his career goes from strenght to strength (as long as thats with us though!)

this would be typical if they allow the shite to have maserano and not let us have fernandes, though i did just rear somewhere that Man utd may be trying to steal Mascerano from the shite becasue the hargreeaves deal wont go through.... as much as i hate man utd i would love this too happen, as mascerno is class and i don't like seeing class go to the shite....

i still can't believe that mascerano never got given a real chance at WHU... idiots

Riquelme would be awesome but firstly we could never afford his wages and secondly he would never come to us even if we could.

Though the thought of riqueleme in an everton shirt is very exciting

if only...........

Don´t think we play the long ball game anymore then anyone else.When conditions are fair we can pass aswell as anyone.

we do play long ball alot more thn some other teams, especially teams around us. The only difference between the days of big dunc and nowdays with johnson is we now play it long for him to run onto it instead of long onto fergies head.

this is why johnson spends most of his time by the corner flag.

what would everyone else worst stadiums in England be?

Personaly i would plump for Griffin Park (brentford) a real dive of a ground. No atmosphere, very unwelcoming.

Also Filbert street was also horrible, as is the whole of leicster, sorry for anyone who lives their i just cant stand the place

i think another GK would be a good signing, Turner looks good but im not convinced by ruddy (i know he's young, but watched him on loan at walsall and he looked very dodgy.

Gordon could be a good signing,

and get shot of teflon as quickk as possible.

i do like howard though, but he needs longer arms

rather have etherington than koumas. koumas is shit imo, ive not seen much of etherington and what i have seen of him i cant remember if he was any good

 

papa diop is available from fulham, does he play LM? if so he could be usefull for a couple of seasons.

we should be looking for a LM/LB and striker at this moment in time, as fernandes deal looks to be done as long as the twats at the FA (everton hateing scumbags) let him join.

i would like diop, hes got a good shot on him too.

and when he scores commentars cant help shout out his full name, it has always amused me

BOOOBA PAAAPPAA DIOOUPP!!!

I would snap him up if we could get him, as well as a left foot he has one thing that many of our midfielders lack, a physical presence and genuine strenght.

would be a good investment if we could get him

i know west ham are slightly in the shit, but why the hell are they trying to sign a new striker when they already have Zamora, Ashton, Tevez, Cole, Harewood, Blanco, sheringham. and boa morte can be played up front.

Thats 8 strikng options, i know that they aint scoring but maybe some consitancy in the squad would help... and darren bent isn' t a world changer.. if he cant get charlton out of trouble what makes WHU think he can get them out of trouble.

and 18m! what! Football gone mad

the thing is we do need a left sided player. especially seeing as our three left backs are all incerdibly injury prone, there has been many games this season when we havnt had any left footed players.. thats just stupid.

i admit etherington isn't the best left sided midfielder we could get but there isn't many other options.

Maybe jason Koumas (he can play on left side, nit sure if hes left footed though)

any suggestions on a left sided player (not necesarily too sign in Jan but in the future.)

mate it pains me to say it but we havent been a "big club" since the 80's

its not ice but its true, and just think about some of the other big 80's clubs and be greatful that we are still in a relativley strong position, Nots Forest anyone?

I think getting rid of moyes would be the worst thing we could do as i don't know anyone who could come into the job and perform better, and i hate the way the game has gone where teams go through managers like anything.

I just wish that BK would stump up some cash to sign people when we actually need them. surely we have just shy of 6m (with the selling of Killer and Davies) also i imagine there is still a few quid from the rooney sale about.

and we can propbably afford to spend this money now rather than waiting to invest in the future as the pay off for finishing positions in the prem will be so much higher next year. Surely we should invest in talent NOW before prices inflate again becasue everyone has more money.

if nothing else there needs to be some sort of communication between the club and the fans. If we market ourselves as "the peoples club" then we should start acting like the Peoples club

"Still think that Dm needs to bring in a midfielder to replace Davies"

agree completley, we still have no naturally left footed midfielders, think etherington would be ace as he fits the bill. think we wouuld be good with beatie as he could get some balls onto his big fat head

apparently we are going to make a £2m bid today, i hope not, would be yet another waste of money i feel.

Would definatley be a waste of money, would be worth a loan signing for rest of season for a bit of back up but i wouldn't want to spend any money on him. Where do we stand when we get johnson and mcfaddenpants backs? in my books he would then be 6th in pecking order behind Johnson, BT Mcfaddenpants, Vaughn, and Anichibe.

cant say im holding my breath for a good result, however with a decent signing things could change, but the chances of that happening are slim/

if aj was fit then we could have got a good draw, without it could be tricky. Though it also depends on what type of team benitez puts out, i was supriesed last time wiht him fielding fowler and crouch... though after a 3-0 drubbing their going to be after our blood.

this one could get messy
