It would be hilarious if Peterlin scores against the All Stars. (to the MLS fans)

We'll stay around where we are until we start to lose the likes of Cahill, Arteta, Neville etc. through age. We can't replace them with the money we have, and so we'll slide.

Yup.

I would prefer Tevez,Roque Santa Cruz, Yak, Jo, Vaughn, Bellamy, Saha, Craig Short (lethal in the masters the other week), or possibly even Anichebe to Adebayor

 

Well ok maybe not Anichebe

Forgot about Santa Cruz and Yak

Jo looked much less stiff on the highlights. Much more energetic, lanky, and flexible. This pre season will do him wonders.

--------------Given

Richards---Jags--Lescott---Baines

--------------De Jong-------------

----------Arteta--Fellaini-------

--Robinho------------------Pienaar--

-------------Adebayor--------------

De Jong for Kompany and Pienaar for Tevez in the subs. Pienaar has a better first touch and vision with Baines, they're work rate is equal, and Pienaar is a slightly better crosser.

btw formation isn't meant to be that narrow.

Wow 2 for Jo. Can't wait to see the highlights. I'll be emailing EFC to ask if the river plate game is copyrighted (its in Argentina so here's hoping it aint.)

Thanks for the news grarghies

How long after do highlights pop up?

Yeah I should whine about that. I mean I figured that if I got the bury live commentary and its highlight video, I was set. It ain't as if Everton currently took on Barcelona or something, in establishment with another league.

For example, I could understand if the MLS game is copyrighted.

Nice job boys.

Out of curiosity, I wanna know though, why can I view the 20 minute highlight video which will follow if it is 'copyrighted'?

Is it just a scam to keep bandwidth clean?

P.S: after using a proxy, it just says 'ready'. hahahahah. Suppose i'll have to wait for the highlights. But I'm still going to send an email regarding the copywright especially since I can get the 20 - 40 min highlight videos from last pre season.

^ The owner of the proxy can see my details.

I would use a proxy but no way am I doing that with my CC details on the Everton site.

Fuck no access from outside of UK

FML

Did the numbers get released ?

No from me.

Mikel Arteta is still quality on the right, granted he has a quick full back behind him. Many people here bum chum saying David Bentley would be ideal for our wing, but IMO anything he can offer, Mikel can better.

If Baines was right footed and he was flaring past Arteta down the right, we'd get quality Arteta crosses from deep and in line, and through balls to Baines on the overlap. Furthermore, with a speedy fullback, I'd feel content with Arteta dropping back temporally to cover the out of position joinee. - More so than Osman. :/

---------Arteta

---------Hibbert

or

--------Arteta

--------P. Neville

does not work. It is too slow, and the Arteta/Osman must cut in or resort to hoofballs. With someone like Kyle Naughton, we'd be much more secure. The right side needs pace.

Naughton is 19 years old, he is quick at going forward, and he will arguably get better. If his name was bumface moron, there'd still be people lined up for him.

Coleman is a speedy bugger. Quicker than Baines for sure, lets hope he learns to tackle like Baines.

I felt so good when David Unsworth answered my question in the commentary, which was:

Do you guys reckon that Jo will start the season amazingly, to an extent of possibly taking Yakubu's place? Similar to how Jagielka kept Yobo out of the team when he returned from injury?

I'll add this food for thought in here because we all know... Yak won't start the first few games. No way will Moyes play him, and I'm glad he will. If we play 4-5-1, Moyes would have Jo, Vaughan and Saha to pick from. It doesn't just go for Jo, it goes for all three of them. I mean what if Vaughan scores 4 against Arsenal? Won't happen, but you never know. Yakubu could possibly be sitting on the bench when he arrives, granted one of them make the forward position there's.

At least now we can ask a 'which striker should start out of these classy fellas?', instead of a 'oh shit no moar strikers will it be Jutkiewicz or Cahill?'

- And for that last line, a classy striker joining on top of a bunch of other classy strikers, you would have to be moronic to think this is a daft signing.

Welcome Jo Alves

Ok awesome thanks guys.

Haha yeah

Well just before I subscribe, does it prompt me to renew my month or does it automatically take me into next month? (another 5 pound)

Because after I'm done with the pre season I want nothing to do with it till next pre season or maybe if we make it to Wembley again.

A few Arsenal Supporter friends claim that Matuidi has been seen in London today.

Let's track them here...

Jo Man City Loan

Mustafi Hamburg Perm

Peterlin Ventura County Fusion Perm

 

Hopefully more to come...

So Peterlin came from the U.S 4th division, is that like a local league where the dads coach or what?

If we don't get a winger, we need a pacy right back. If Arteta is reverting to the right, we need someone who can flare past him. Hibbert and Arteta/Osman is just yuck and is horrible in contrast to the left side.

I don't feel safe in putting Pienaar on the right either, replacing the left with a natural left footer. I think Pienaar has that extra bit of creativity which allows him and Baines to link up uniquely. Pienaar may be right footed, but he plays the through balls to Baines with his right foot, and I think Baines on his day has the most deadly cross as they come. Hard, quick, straight onto a head.

For example, I don't think putting someone like Joe Ledley on the left would equal the Pienaar/Baines combo. Pienaar likes creative first touch football while Ledley is more of a traditional "run and cross" kind of dude.

I'd like (sorry about the uneven formatting lol)

-----------------Howard

--Naughton--Yobo-----Lescott--Baines--

--Arteta---Neville--Fellaini--Pienaar--

-----------------Cahill

----------------------------Jo

The right side wouldn't be bogged anymore, and Arteta could play deep balls with Naughton or 'insert pacy right back here' going forward. Furthermore I feel safer with Arteta dropping back rather than Osman, and Neville would play the defensive role out of himself and Fellaini anyway. So if Naughton got an inch out of position I still think we'd be safe.

And I put Jo before Yakubu because he may not be fit.

Yay I'm a happy man. Moe Joe believes in Jo.

But still it isn't 100 'percent' confirmed, but if he's training, you gotta be positive.

I wonder what position our '$$$' signing will be though. It may be DMC or Winger, it depends on whether or not Moyes wants Arteta on the right. Its interesting but as stated, we now know our main signing won't be a striker.
