Don't think he's done too bad either but realistically he's behind Jags, Stones, Mori, Galloway and Holgate in the pecking order.

Just had a look at our squad on the official site... We need a huge clear out. We have got way too much dead wood here. Goalkeepers Joel Robles Martin Stekelenburg Right Backs Seamus Coleman Tyias Browning Jonjoe Kenny Gethin Jones Centre Backs John Stones Phil Jagielka Ramiro Funes Mori Matthew Pennington Mason Holgate Brendan Galloway Left Backs Leighton Baines Bryan Oviedo Luke Garbutt Callum Connolly Centre Midfielders Gareth Barry Muhamed Besic James McCarthy Darron Gibson Tom Cleverley Connor Grant Tom Davies Ryan Ledson Right Wingers Gerard Deulofeu Aaron Lennon Left Wingers Kevin Mirallas Aiden McGeady Attacking Midfielders Ross Barkley Kieran Dowell Strikers Romelu Lukaku Arouna Kone Oumar Niasse Leandro Rodriguez David Henen Shani Tarashaj Connor McAleny A squad of 37 players there.... The ones in bold I think should leave as they're not good enough so at least 13 of them!

Not too sure. Could be 3 - Holgate, Galloway and Besic with Baines and Lennon as wing backs. Could also be a flat back 4 with Holgate Rb and Besic + Galloway CBs. Lennon could also be RB with Holgate and Galloway CBs.

Correct Line up: Joel, Holgate, Galloway, Baines, Besic, Gibson, Lennon, Mirallas, Davies, Dowell, Rodriguez.

Apparently the line up is not correct and someone posted it for a laugh. Some people have too much time on their hands...

First pre season match today against Jablonec. Kick off at 1pm. Team: Robles, Holgate, Jagielka, Galloway, Oviedo, Barry, Gibson, Mirallas, Trialist, Leandro Rodriguez, Niasse.

If he wants to leave then fine. Replace him with Koulibaly who's a better defender right now. It will make is stronger if anything.

Besic.

His delivery is top notch. I'd take him as a left back and left sided midfield cover as he's better than Oviedo. No way at £20 million though. £8 million at best.

I know. They've included Rodriguez there who hasn't made a single appearance. They're probably bored and looking for anything to write about.

Kone's not even on that list. I want Kone, Niasse, McGeady, Gibson, Robles, one out of Oviedo and Garbutt and one out of McCarthy/Besic all to leave. The squad's too big and there's quite a few we're carrying there.

He's an absolute beast. He's very comfortable with the ball but he's also a brilliant defender. Quick, tall, strong, two footed, 25 year old who had an fantastic season last year = he's gonna cost at least £35 - 40 million. Would love him here but not at the expense of Stones. Imagine having 4 CBs - two right sided in Jags and Stones and two left sided in Mori and Koulibaly...

I've seen him quite a few times against Wales as we have played them 5 times in the last 4 year or so. He was immense in the first game but he didn't really do much in the other games... Obviously he's a big name and probably be a big upgrade on what we have so he'll have my full support. Where would his signing leave Besic, McCarthy, Barry and Gibson??? Just makes that Gibson 2 year deal look more stupid IMO. Will be interesting to see if Koeman fancies Besic or McCarthy as well.

Hahaha! As much as I love him I don't think he's good enough for us. He's been brilliant for Wales and always puts in a shift but we should be aiming higher!

Hahahah! Travesty?? Behave will you. Deserved to win. The journey continues!!

Cymru am Byth!!

Okay with Stekelenburg but I really don't want Krul.

I like Vertonghen as well, think he's a top quality CB and a very good LB as well so naturally a huge loss for you. I like the sound that Lukaku likes to attack as it will leave space in behind him. Just noticed that Denayer is on loan at City so I wonder what will be his future next year with Guardiola. Yeah, a lot of injuries/suspensions for you at the back which can only be positive for us however you've got such depth that you've still got good players coming in. Injuries like that for us and we'd be done for. Luckily and I cross everything here, we haven't had an injury to a major player with Ashley Williams being fit for tomorrow.

Fuck yes. Imagine a midfield three of Kovacic, Schneiderlin and Barkley with Deulofeu and Mirallas on the flanks.... That would be unbelievable!!

Just saw that. Quite a boost for us even though I know thay Denayer is highly rated... How is Jordan Lukaku at left back?

And I have no problem with that whatsoever. It's how it should be. The feeling was likewise towards Wilshire, Vardy, Alli, Henderson and Sturridge.

Ohh come on Haf... What did you expect them to do? Sit there quietly when our rivals have left the competition and we're still in it? I'd have expected the same from England if it was the other way round. As Jack Wilshire said "They don't like us and we don't like them!" The only thing I don't agree with is that it was leaked to the internet. That should have stayed within the camp and I'm sure someone's had a right bollocking for uploading it. Of course with all the anger towards the England team at the minute, the media have made a lot of it when all they did was celebrate England going out of the competition like any Welsh fan. I'd rather it was like this than getting all friendly and nice with each other. Did anyone here celebrate when Sevilla won the Europa League? I'm sure 99.9% of the forum did as we're Everton fans and we don't like them. I would hope that the Everton players reacted the same as well when that full time whistle went.... Exactly the same sort of situation in my opinion....

He'll be second choice to whoever we sign as our first choice which probably means Robles won't be here next season. I hope the number one isn't Tim Krul though... I want a new face in completely.
