was watching setanta before and stuart pearce was singing the praises of frazier campbell saying there's a good chance he'll be seeing him in future england squads. i've always liked campbell and altough he hasn't done much at spurs on loan he never really got a chance. hull have had a 6 million bid accepted for him but the lad doesn't want to make a decision til after the euro's. surely would be a good signing for us adding something different to forward line.

yes he does look class but the only negative is skill players in the french league often don't make it in the prem take b.cheyrou and a.tarbart (spurs)

i think j-rod may leave everton at some stage in his career if he develops into the player we all know he can be, however now is way to early for him to move on. he wouldn't develop as fast at the mancs purely due to the fact he won't play as much and he is different to rooney as rooney was already a excellent player at the age of 18 where as jack still has a long way to go. the club should resist all offers for the remainder of his 5 years and we have'nt become a force to be reckoned with by then, sell him on for £25-30 million

i know mate u never know with this club and board, last summer just sums it all up

agree with you their jamie. they are definitely a 'stuart pearce' team. hard working, dogs of war at times with that little bit of flair added in at times

have we really got that type of money though

i've said it before on this site but i'd love lee cattermole at everton. i would move neville back to RB and put cattermole DM, not sur what price but 5-8 million would prob get him. he is similar to neville but with alot more creativety and better passing ability.

marcus berg fits the bill for me too, he would fit in well i n our team. don't think he has agreed to leave groningen yet but i've heard he will more than likely stay in or holland and move to a top club like ajax. he would prob cost about 10 mill

england won 2-0, frazier campbell and james milner in the second half england have now qualified for the semi's no matter what the outcome of the germany game is. hopefully rodwell can get a run out in that game then

just watched south africa vs new zealand and pienaar looked outstanding, completely head and shoulders above the rest on the field. interseting to c him play almost a free role (attacking mid) cos he ran the show from there. on another note the crowd were nuts doing all these african tribal dances and shouting BOOOOOOOOOOTH! everytime the big white guy at the back got a touch of the ball (i thought they were actually booing him in a racist way cos he is the only white guy in their team until the commentator pointed it out they were shoutin his name lol)

i thought bradley played well against italy but not really a player we need, the striker jozy altidore put himself about a fair bit aswell think we've been linked with him in the past also

Jack Rodwell was a late sub as England Under-21s began their European Championships campaign with a narrow 2-1 win over Finland. Everton man Rodwell was not selected in the starting XI but emerged with six minutes left to help England weather a late Finnish onslaught. thought i'd start this topic so we keep tabs on big jack during the championships. he has a good chance of startin the next game but at centre back cos mancienne got sent off and richards went off injured. also team captain onouha is injured. even if he doesn't start i still think he will gain some vital experience being out there.

taxi for taxi!

lol, well he is known as a stern and tough character!!!! :laughingsmiley: :laughingsmiley:

easy mistake mate i seen an article last nite about dressing room rifts between the young lads and the old guard in the belgium camp,with the older lads sayin the young ones have a bad attitude towards international football. i'm sure thats somethin big Dick can sort out!

not for me, the spurs fans hate him, he only turns up once every ten games and on top of that we already have felli,cahill and arteta CM

i know yeah, why can't moyes just buy an half decent mid 20s gk to challenge howard instead of really young lads who wont reach their peak for 10 years

there's also dembele(linked with chelsea), vermaelen (arsenal had 10 million bid), vertonghen(ajax) also dick advocaat has been confirmed as their new coach so they will be a force in 4 years without a doubt

wow this guy looks quality. he suits the bill for us to lay left or right mid, wonder how much he'd cost? by the way how many good young prospects seem to be coming out of belgium at the moment, they could be decent outsiders for the next euro championships with the young talent they have

how much would berg cost (£10 million do u think) because he looks like a player who would do well in the prem

to be honest i don't but i was going along the grounds that these injuries are always given the longest possible recovery time and then remarkably the player comes back a couple of months before they were expected, thats what i'm hopin anyway! also on the richards thing the lad is still learning his trade and alot of the best players have gone through phases like that (terry,ferdinand and even lescott himself i'm led to believe). i just think if you compare where richards is at his stage in his career now he is much better player than lescott was at that age and under moyes' guidance he would only get better

i think thats a bit over the top that mate. 12 months ago richards was rated at £20 million and on of the best defenders in england and Jo proved that he has the potential to score 15-20 prem league goals a season given a good run like he had at everton. if both these players were brought in early they would get a good pre season learning how to play the moyes way. don't get me wrong i would prefer to keep lescott and bring these playersz in but thats never going to happen on top of that richards can play centre back(has done for city and england), rodwell is actually a centre back playing midfield and i think jagielka will be back before december!

although i would love to keep lescott an £18 million offer would be hard to turn down. i.m sure with this type of money DM would find a good enough replacement and leave some change to go back in for moutinho. on the other hand i would also say yes to a swap deal including micah richards, michael johnson and possibly Jo on loan for another year

another african to go missing for a month in january, no thanks from me. plus he's past it anyway
