Agree. If he showed us even a little bit of why we signed him then he would be first name on the sheet at the minute

http://www.people.co...02039-23376695/ Swap Arteta for Bender? I would say cash only but at least the bank cant take him off us He could be good (although not as good as he thinks he already is) with a run of games and we need a striker. Similar story in Star and Mirror as well

http://www.dailystar.co.uk/football/view/207747/Arsenal-launch-Mikel-Arteta-bid/ Arsenal face competition from Malaga and Valencia. Valencia now have a wedge after selling Mata. Both clubs apparently prepared to pay £10million for him. I dont think 10mill is too bad for a player who has had injuries problems and isnt getting any younger. A wonderful footballer at his best but will we see that again consistently and for how many more years?

Our negative tactics. We do have some very talented players and need to use them. Frankly our defending has been so poor recently that we need to ease the pressure here by taking the game to our opponents

Medical at QPR according to sky sports news at 7

Saw that too. Seems unlikely now. It has rumbled on long enough and a conclusion doesnt seem likely anytime soon

Dont think it wise to put out a weaker/experimental side. United have started the season well, are unbeaten and are set to name an unchanged side. Cahill, Beckford and Saha all doubts so some changes will be forced but right now we need a little continuity.

It isnt just Duffy, there is Mustafi and Johann Hammar is supposed to be quite a talent, albeit still raw. Duffy needs a season on loan in the championship, Blackpool preferably Holloway did a great job with Coleman, then we might know a little more about what we have. Still enough potential to not need to replace Jags if he goes and if push came to shove we could see how Rodders slots into the back 4

Football Beer Thongs Internet In no specific order

Comes to something when the young lad is the only one to show up.

It seemed like 3 points there for the taking today against QPR. Moyes tactics were questionable. Why are we so unprepared to be adventurous and play 2 up front, particularly when the opposition are an inferior team? Dont let them get a foot hold by keeping them on the back foot, same old same old and what did we get to inspire us to greater things, a striker off and a holding midfielder on I mean wtf?

Absolute pish

Pretty dire all in all Why are we not commiting more forward?

Finally a striker reappears

Why do we not have a striker on the pitch?

It seems the English obsession to have big players. Preferring graft over craft. With the way football is going players get so much protection that smaller players have a more even playing field.

2-0 Saha and Osman. An early goal and a late goal

Green is a grade A cunt I would put nothing past him

I hope we can make a good start tomorrow. It might stop some of this negativity. I love Everton, its about the only constant I have had in my life, the only thing I have really stuck at Going with my old man when I was still in short pants, a pie and half a shandy thinking I was the bollocks. Thats what it was about the camaraderie, the love of being part of something, the highs, the lows. All just part of loving a club, a passion you cant explain, it just is what is and its blue

http://www.mirrorfootball.co.uk/transfer-news/Everton-Jermaine-Beckford-wants-stay-despite-interest-from-Leicester-but-could-be-sold-to-fund-new-signings-article786590.html From yesterday and the mirror. But why would he want to go? In theory, if we sold him for £4million it may be enough to finance a move for Nicky Maynard at bristol City, rumours are 3-4mill would be enough but City only want to sell to a Prem club. However he is unproven at this level but does look very good in the Championship. Leicester have apparently made a £3mill bid for West Broms Simon Cox so this might be the new target after being knocked back over Beckford

I dont know if Im honest. I know very little about him asides from a few youtube clips which only ever show the best bits.

Blackburn were just shyte in general though, cant do much without the service so I wouldn't hold that against him
