c1982 Posted August 21, 2012 Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 Wahey, let's sell the youngest of them. Maybe we'll go after Gardner again so we've got experienced cover. Don't want him sold but the 3 won't all fit in and I doubt jags/Distin would go/ attract fees/interest. It's the reality of the situation, that's how we progress - 1 step back to take 2 steps forward. Ideally jags and johnny would work but it's clear it's one with Distin - I prefer johnny as an all round player to be honest but both are top class options who would get into most teams. It may be nonsense anyway but it wouldn't surprise me to see johnny go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcopaulo Posted August 21, 2012 Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 why's it have to be one with distin? he should be the backup with his age bein what it is..jags and johnny should be the first choice..with johnny bein the first choice centre back full stop...i'm gonna be fucking furious if we sell him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Romey 1878 Posted August 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 From Player of the Season to sold to Spurs (if true, obviously). I can totally see how that would make sense. Let's sell the best out of the three CB's we have. The calming influence at the back. The one who can actually fucking pass. The one who has a footballing brain. I'll be with Marco and furious if he's sold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Performances like last night justify Moyes' decision but a case could obviously be made for Johnny based on last year (should be a dead cert starter to be honest!) It's a bit fishy our player of the year being on the bench! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueBlood81 Posted August 21, 2012 Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 I'd take 10mil + Tom Huddleston/Jermaine Jenas. For me Duffy's our future CB and being third choice this season would be invaluable for the lad. I know Jonnys our POTY and I love him but with the 10mil added to the left overs from Rodders sale we could get a Proper number 10 and back up cb as well as the makeweight midfielder to give us the depth we need!? Controversial I know but worth consideration. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair Do's, I was more just thinking about squeezing another body out of THFC if it did happen as they've got shit loads and we're bare bone merchants. Thinking about it though they have a shit load of injury prone players on their books, maybe Darren Anderton stayed on there as fitness coach?

I used to work with a guy who's wife left him to get married to Malcolm Allison. Completely irrelevant but that reminded me so I thought I'd put it out there .

DonKey Posted August 22, 2012 Report Share Posted August 22, 2012 £10m in my opinion would be a joke. SSN last night were saying that a fee in excess of £9m had been ageed for Dawson to go to QPR. So £1m difference between valuations on a player who was voted player of the year for us, and a crock who played less than a dozen games for Spuds. No thanks!!!

Avinalaff Posted August 22, 2012 Report Share Posted August 22, 2012 If Heitinga wants to play for Everton, it's a bad deal. If he doesn't, then take the money. I thought he was starting to settle in, but who knows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Posted August 22, 2012 Report Share Posted August 22, 2012 Spurs told Dawson he would be 3rd choice so he can leave, I'm sure Jonny H wont go there to be 3rd choice. Lowensda 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest blueboy122 Posted August 22, 2012 Report Share Posted August 22, 2012 Would be stupid to sell our player of the year especially considering he is our best centre half. Personally I would be gutted as its clear that we as the fans have a connection with him and vice versa. I genuinally believe that he is happy here and loves the club.

Noble Savage Posted August 23, 2012 Report Share Posted August 23, 2012 So did Arteta and he only went Arsenal but I fully agree with you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iamryanstover Posted August 23, 2012 Report Share Posted August 23, 2012 Personally I hope Johnny is in the starting XI on Saturday to dispel these transfer rumors. I know he doesnt want to play 2nd fiddle, but with the amount of injuries we have had in recent years we cannot afford to lose anyone of his quality.

Bill Posted August 23, 2012 Report Share Posted August 23, 2012 I think it will be the same 11, i wouldn't change anything after the Man U performance. Possibly bring on Mirallas in the 2nd half if things are not going well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimonButtle Posted August 23, 2012 Report Share Posted August 23, 2012 (edited) Can't believe there is even a discussion about this, all other signings will be mean nothing if we suddenly decide to get rid of our best defender, and to a club who could be rivals, Is Moyes ready to sacrifice our best man for the sake of a left/right foot combo, cmon EFC sort this out pronto!

Avinalaff Posted August 23, 2012 Report Share Posted August 23, 2012 How as Heitinga suddenly been elevated to the status of 'best defender' ? He was given player of the year, but he's hardly played in Central defence long enough to prove he is our best. For me, Distin is our best Central defender, as he has it all despite his age. patto 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimonButtle Posted August 23, 2012 Report Share Posted August 23, 2012 (edited) Heitinga is the best CB by a country mile Avin, he's calm, passes(rather than hoofs) postionally he's good, he's solid and good in the tackle, proven international player, id have Heitinga/Jags. Distin is still good and going strong, but you get the impression there is an accident waiting to happen with him at times Edited August 23, 2012 by theprisoner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At risk of gettin g slammed yet again lol...i pretty much agree. Heits is classy and had a great season last season. Before that i agree he is still one of our better ball players in defence ( withstanding Baines ) But for me he just does not have the tackling ability or body on the line attitude that say Jags has. I am a fan of his and would be loathe to lose him. But in no way do i think he is a mile ahead of the others. On a par yes. I actually think he is a good defensive midfileder with the right partner. Please remember i am no SAF or Moysey and it is just an opinion before you all think i am crazy haha! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
