Its 25 maximum and reading quickly some UEFA gumph I was wrong or at least they make no mention of players under 21 not being required to be registered. So PeterH is right
-
Do players under the age of 21 have to be registered? They don't have to for league squads I'm pretty sure but don't know if this also applies to champions league

Without a doubt he will do a job for us. He will be busting a gut to get into the England side. Gibbo struggles to stay fit, despite his great start to this season I still feel Barkley needs a little protection and shouldn't be over played at this stage. With a few more numbers and versatility in our midfield it should give us a little more flexibility over formations. In summary I was against it but have now changed my mind
-
Whilst I agree with some of the vic bashing i did think he had made improvements last year. i'm still convinced he has the aptitude but is let down by his attitude. i agree that a change of scenery may be just what he needs - a little less pressure perhaps as I guess i'm not alone in having had high hopes a few years ago for him. If he could stay fit and get a run of games then he could be half decent and about half the player Lukaku is :jump for joy: If only we could have persuaded the baggies to take Naismith as well

And £5million in wages per year, wiping out any profit from the fellaini sale. The good thing about being an Everton fan is you know you will be disappointed, its just a case of how often and how much

I would be prepared to let them keep the twig if it was a deal breaker

Sky sports report we are in the process of applying for a work permit

I take your point although that good season would probably put his valuation way beyond our means even if he was pushing for a move here. Levy is a bastard.

I don't think he ever rejected us but we were interested in picking him up on a free which would have been during this window. Spurs paid a fee to get him early and then didnt seem to want to play him. I still think he is a good player but needs game time to get to grips with the prem - this is why I would be reluctant to take him on loan as either way it works out is kind of bad 1- Turns out to be a sack of brown stuff 2- Is brilliant and we return him to Tottenham an established player Very little in it for us

Fellaini & Baines joint bid
codders78 replied to Newty82's topic in Rumourama - Everton Transfer Rumours
Even the mancs I know reckon the bid is derisory and insulting -

He would know a cheap schemer when he sees one i reckon -
Fellaini & Baines joint bid
codders78 replied to Newty82's topic in Rumourama - Everton Transfer Rumours
Interest is one thing a firm offer is another. Fellaini would look pretty stupid marching in and demanding a move only to be told no offer had been forthcoming. For me it works like this, they offer £16 million for Fellaini - we reject this offer but Fellaini makes it clear he want to leave - they come back with a final £20 million take it or leave it offer, we then either take it or reject it. The rejection sees us have a player who is unsettled the acceptance sees us lose a player for less than his true value -
Fellaini & Baines joint bid
codders78 replied to Newty82's topic in Rumourama - Everton Transfer Rumours
For me its a big deal as they are attempting to unsettle our players and force our hand into selling. If Baines and Fellaini are interested in leaving, this offer could push them into asking for the move and weakens our prospects of holding out for top dollar. The supposed "big clubs" try these underhand tactics all the time to unsettle players and bully clubs into selling their prize assets. It seemed like they tried to do it with Cesc Fabregas but you cant unsettle a Barcelona player (already playing for a top club) and can't bully Barcelona into accepting a bid -
Fellaini & Baines joint bid
codders78 replied to Newty82's topic in Rumourama - Everton Transfer Rumours
We already rejected a £12 million bid for Baines so this would need to be upped to even make us consider it so essentially they are offering about £12 million for Fellaini and £16 million for Baines. Absolutely disgusting way to go about business -
3-4 players wanted, but who are your choices?
codders78 replied to Lowensda's topic in General Everton Discussion
Maybe he feels he has enough, maybe he sees enough in our youth players that he would rather play them than spend £5million on someone from the continent. Give them a chance and keep some cash back (if of course there is any) if it doesn't work out -
Great player and genuine top class finisher. I always wondered whether his problems were as much mental as physical - insofar he convinced himself he wasn't properly fit, guess it doesn't matter now. Enjoy your retirement
-
That he will. 10-12 mill will look a snip in a few years and the commercial revenue would be handy for any club not tied to a stupid deal
-
According to some papers Aston Villa have been told its £10million for Hiroshi Kiyotake, not a bad guestimate Tenacious
-
During a press conference for the community shield Owen Coyle said At this moment as we sit here I can honestly say there has been no so called interest in any of our players and long may that continue. I'm aware of how the transfer window works and that could change at anytime

United fan - Few questions
codders78 replied to StretfordEnders's topic in General Everton Discussion
1- Didn't think he would get the job. His brand of football will not appeal to many but I wish him luck and perhaps with more cash to spend and the expectations he may try to be a little more expressive. 2- Very happy with Martinez, too much read into Wigans relegation and much prefer getting a manager with prem experience than a supposed big name from abroad. Also believe he will get us playing a better brand of football and if Moyes was still our manager Deuolefou would not be on loan here for a year. 3- No hope of future big cash flows when people take the piss with £30 million offers for 2 of our best players :shaking fist: 4- I don't like change 5- Personally I think you want rid but don't want to sell to a rival, if an offer came from the continent he would be gone 6- Usual contenders I reckon with spurs/arsenal fighting out for 4th. I think the spots below will be very competitive as a lot of mid-table clubs have strenghtened 7- You need a combative strong midfielder, maybe another centre back as ferdinand ages and imo evans proves he is toilet, smalling and jones seem injury prone 8- I don't see Liverpool as a barometer for our success and finishing above them means nothing. I wouldn't want that to be a goal for us going into a season. It means more to them which speaks volumes 9- I think in the short term we may go backwards as we adjust to life under Martinez. The more expansive football Im expecting us to play might make us easier to beat however I go into this season with probably more optimism than the last few and look forward to seeing what Bobby can draw out of our more creative players and certainly more opportunities for our youngsters 10- Right up there I would imagine and you can look forward to everybody behind the ball when 1-0 up in the manc derby -
Hob-Nob or a rich tea?

Joey Barton
codders78 replied to duncanmckenzieismagic's topic in Rumourama - Everton Transfer Rumours
If we need an unhinged outcast Lee Cattermole would be a a slightly less worse option. Barton can jog on, making out he is doing us a favour taking 35k a week. -
I'm not sure FFP will have that much impact with some clever accounting. Nobody on the continent seems to give a hoot about it
