Seems to me from your comments about Neville and your proposed team for an EPL away game, that you don't know much about footy

TBF I don't think any manager's would want to be taking their teams all around the world at this stage of pre-season to play in some meaningless friendlies - ref: Man U, City, Arsenal, Spurs, Chelsea. It's not a football decision, it's about satisfying sponsors and globalisation of their brand.

Yes, it's Matty Phillips

We offered him a contract and he turned it down. He's apparently negotiating with Palace. I'd assume we'd be entitled to some sort of development fee?

SSN reporting that EFC and THFC in talks, so it sounds like something concrete is happening........

We could play him up front with Jela. He's got twice as many goals in him as Louis

I saw on the Should Moyes stay/Go thread that Joachim Loew earns half what Moyes does. Now, he may dress like something out of the Pet Shop Boys but he does know a bit about footy

If he was a bandwagon jumper he'd say he was supporting Man U or Man City - some bandwagon if he's till on it 25 years later! I would say it doesn't matter how you're an Evertonian, it just matters that you are an Evertonian

6.5m to Southampton so not that way off the mark - best have a word with your best mate at Burnley

Agree with this but LFC were live 23 times compared to our 10 and they were even more shite than us, objectively and statistically. That generated 6.2m more income than we got. Hopefully we'll be able to persuade the decision makers that we need a bigger slice compared to them. *Facility fees are related to live appearances

Plenty of people on here still think that Royston is a much better option than Pienaar. I remember getting shouted down a few weeks ago for saying we were playing better with Pienaar in the team but hey, its all about opinions

Apparently Moyes and SAF were sat together at Gresty Road on Saturday.

Had a liver transplant last week

Lineker-esque. It might explain why he isn't so good 1 on 1 with the keeper so we need to keep playing to his strengths.

Maybe we'd be better off with a lovely new stadium like the Ricoh...................?

I don't want Doyle, just anticipating who Moyes may try to pick off. If anyone from Wolves I'd take Jarvis.

Agree, but if we didn't get Dempsey we'd keep Cahill going for another season

No you haven't, total BS

With the Euros being on, I assume the only way he can get some players in early is if he's got his eye on a couple from the relegated clubs then? Kevin Doyle anyone...?

Hope we can lure Dempsey in the summer. If not we should try to get Nick Powell from Crewe, he might be in our price range.

Oops - might regret that in a few hours

I guess I'm more worried about the effect it would have on a young lad's confidence if he got destroyed at Man Utd in front of 76000, rather than whether we win our remaining games. We can see what he's got after a good pre-season and training with the 1st team.

Not good news about Baines but it is the only realistic option at this stage of the season to move Distin or Neville to left back. Garbutt has had a really good season in League 2 and it will have done wonders for his game and confidence. I think it would be a mistake to recall him and throw him in against Man Utd with a team of people he's never trained or played with. Same for Bidwell. Hopefully one or both of them can make some progress in the 1st team next season.

I wish it had worked out with Drenthe. He obviously has ability and he started out making all the right noises but he's let himself down. Go and read about his time at Hercules last season after a really bright start. There's a pattern to his behaviour. I'm not trying to big up Pienaar, I'm using it as a reference to outline how Drenthe has wasted his opportunity. Feel free to remind me of my 'wrong' opinion when he has a storming season for Liverpool
