What's changed then? I formed my own opinion. Didn't he come from Newcastle? Boss defenders them lot.

New assistant Steve Round, that's what is wrong.

Don't blame Everton for not trying, apparently Moutinho rejected a move to Everton. Moutinho although not ruling out a move to England (not Everton) he stated that he wished to remain at Sporting. It seems Moutinho was using us to put himself in the sights of the top 4 clubs in England.

Would Hughes really try and lock horns with Fergie over ronaldo? It would be a true test of Hughes' allegiance.

If we wanted him gone it wouldn't be that hard to get rid of him on a free or loan. Leave him be, we are paying for a big mistake made in the transfer market which we have learnt a lesson from (Saha signing no money until hes played), always hoped we would see him come good, probably won't get a game this season.

I wait with bated breath for Smith to come! (not really) Did you see the rumour about Owen? Now that would cheer me up Roll on the Derby, hopefully Torres and Gerrard are missing.

I can't believe I'm hunting around for info every server to do with Everton is jammed!!! I have had enough its been a long day, going to play a bit of Wii Fifa online. Hope Kenwright is proud of himself, its obvious to see why Wyness jumped ship, who would want to be held accountable for the dross we have been served all summer? I know I will sleep easy, but I know one thing Bill Kenwright your fooked!!! Enjoy the pain tonight boys, I give up

Well we won't have to wait until midnight because if Moutinho plays we will know in half an hour! I would be amazed if we signed him now, Anyone still watching this space?

Its not really a 2nd chance, he has got to be on 10 by now. Thing is if he sorted his life out he could be our Gerrard, does he have it in him to stop being a total de-generate? I would have him, if Moyes could curb his temprement, can't see that ever happening and what an insult to the young Everton fan he slapped in Asia, and bearing his bare arse to us!!!! If you want a fight Joey I will gladly take you to the back of Goodison and knock your teeth out!

I don't agree, although not ready yet, Vic will develop and I do see a Vic and Vaughan partnership in a few years time.

Well if you cant be arsed to wait for MOTD or Footy first.

Although I hate to admit it, we would be more solid with Jags CB Lescott LB and Baines left midfield.

Watch the highlights if you missed the game today. Link http://www.ifutbal.com/videos/11999/everton-vs-portsmouth

I fucking hate being right!

Well Moutinho is off somewhere I here Tiago is being lined up as a replacement at Sporting.

Rumour has it on other forums that Moutinho will sign for Arsenal on Mon, he wil fit in with their total football

Not disrespectful, just the truth brother. No one said Castillo is a foregone conclusion, I'm not naive enough to make such a bold statement before he has adapted and played a game for us. I'm saying though from what I have seen he has more tools in his bag than Carsley and if he can adapt to the PL he would be better. Don't be upset on my views of Carsley, I actually have a lot of opinions on Everton players that I don't think are good enough. Jags being one of them, and yes at centre half.

Lets not hide from the fact here that it has been a dross pre-season, however its not all doom and gloom. I think we still have a top team in the premiership, yes we have been caught out with injuries but once Cahill and Pienaar are back we will be a true force to be reckoned with. So, we sold Johnson? I think he wasn't as good as we all first thought, even in his first season he onle scored 12 goals? poor return that is. Carsley had his moments but I think he was a liabilty, if people stopped believing in the hype about him in the papers and formed their own views they will see Carsley for what he was. Did you ever scream and curse his name when he backed off and backed off a player resulting in a goal.....I did, the man if you remember took out his own player, Cahill resulting in him missing a few games. Damn even last season I remember him backing off G Barry alll the way to our box which resulted in their equiliser. Castillo is a big improvement on Carlsey, a half fit Saha is better than Johnson, and Jacobsen is better than Hibbert at right back a place I personally wanted inmproving as the distribution from that area was poor. Next for Moutinho, he is not a player out of our range, I think Sporting have seriously over rated him. Yes he is a neat and tidy player and makes few mistakes but he is hardly a Deco/Gerrard/Lampard. I think he is similar to Cesc Faberegas in some aspects of his play but he is not as good. I don't believe he would grab a game by the scruff of the neck like any of the aforementioned players but he would be a perfect foil for Arteta and improve the quality of our play. For 20m I would expect to sign a true superstar for that, in fact a few million on top you could probably get David Villa. We sold Rooney for about 10m up front, picking up the rest of the money season after season, scruffy Manc gits!!! (On a side note Manure have ruined Rooney!) I would rather have Veloso from Sporting if I had a choice, he is more suited to the premiership. Moyes and the Everton board aren't as stupid as we think, and Moutinho although a good player is not worth the money Sporting have asked. Fair play to them though because I would be fuming if someone tried to sign Arteta, I would expect 25m.

I think he is worth a dealine day bid, he has been unsettled to F**K, he will be deperate to move now and maybe Zenit will be desperate to let him go.

Rennes played and Mbia did not come off the bench, point to note Annan played for the opposition.

Could lose 10m if you lot don't qualify for the group stages, worrying times.

Yeah seen that, rumours are bouncing around everwhere, some say its Appiah (Allegedly seen at FF) others say Kuffour (old one) and a really bizzare one that it might be the crap Kuffour in league 1 (I know they are both crap). Annan, I have even heard that we had Willheimson (not bothering with spelling but ex Bolton) at FF farm with Jacobsson. I'm sure we will all know in a weeks time what players have come so lets get waiting

I think Pompey smell blood and will be looking at us for there first points of the season, we will have to be at our best to match them to be honest. I want to be proved wrong but I can see a Pompey 0-3 scoreline However as mentioned earlier in the thread maybe their morale will be low, we shall wait and see. Would love Yak to bury them though

Iremember Ibrahim Said, he was the golden boy of Egyptian football, we took him on trial but I don't think he made it out the reserves?
