toffeeman

Jo is only on loan so we can't sell him. What we desperately need is pace to give us an outlet to play on the counter

its not true at all they were chanting "die die rooney rooney die"

I think he means that Benfica were beaten by AEK, and because we beat AEK it means Benfica may be poor travellers

definitely, he typifies everything Everton is about

In terms of replacement or starting 11?

Keisuke Honda's agent has admitted the player would be interested in a move to the Premier League. http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,11671_5616982,00.html Merseyside duo Liverpool and Everton have both been credited with an interest in the Japanese international. The talented midfielder has been in scintillating form for Eredivisie newcomers VVV Venlo, notching seven goals in only nine appearances this term. A host of clubs including Liverpool, Everton, Ajax and PSV Eindhoven are believed to be keeping tabs on Honda with Venlo facing a fight to keep hold of their prize asset. The 23-year-old's agent, Kees Ploegsma, has admitted a number of clubs are chasing the attacking midfielder and that the player would be keen on a switch to England. "There are a lot of clubs following him, but there is nothing concrete at the moment," Ploegsma told skysports.com. "I don't know anything about Liverpool and Everton and we will wait and see what happens in January. "Of course Keisuke would be interested in playing in England. England is a very good country for playing football. "If a club makes an offer and Keisuke likes that club something could happen, but we will wait and see."

I agree with that, but don't you think that his precise passing and quick feet could be better utilised in the middle rather than on the wing, where he seems unable to beat his man for pace? We have Pienaar on one wing but i don't think we have any other natural first team wingers. Osman- No, Cahill- No, Arteta- No etc.. I think Bilyaletdinov played attacking midfield for Lokomotiv and featured on the wings when needed. I think that is where he should be playing but with the amount of options we have in the middle i can only see Moyes playing him on the wing.

Apart from pace And does anyone think Bilyaletdinov looks more suited to a more central role?
