markjazzbassist Posted March 15, 2016 Report Share Posted March 15, 2016 Not sure if told you this when I joined, but I do as well. Scott LaFaro is my favorite upright player. Last derail. Yes I remember. I play a fender jazz electric and mostly dig soul jazz stuff like groove Holmes, jimmy mcgriff, jimmy smith, soullive, etc Coyb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aidan Posted March 17, 2016 Report Share Posted March 17, 2016 For me, it is definitely time to move on from Hibbert and Pienaar (as players, at least) and quite possibly Osman. They are all past it and have struggled to maintain fitness and also have been mediocre when given playing time. I'm probably the lone fan of Gibson on this board, but I recognize that injuries and other issues have prevented him from playing a role at this club and these issues show no promise of improving. McGeady is an obvious sell and an example of someone with a great bag of tricks whose mental abilities and decision making will prevent him from every being a success in the PL-- Think he'd do well in Spain or France and definitely a place like the MLS. Howard's time has passed-- He has been quite poor since coming back from WC2014 and appears to be set on a move to the MLS. Shame because he's had great seasons for us but also plenty of inconsistent ones, but lately he's been flat out poor. Always will remember him as a brilliant shotstopper who lacked a top level command of his box and prone to making a silly error. Leftback is an interesting one, if Garbutt is really the real deal and showing promise, then I really think it may be time to move on from Baines or Oviedo. Both have shown fitness issues and Baines is probably going to be on the decline for the remainder of his career. With that being said, Baines is a staple of this club and it would probably be difficult to move him on given his high wages and the fact that he almost certainly wouldn't want to leave Merseyside. Oviedo has shown promise, but his fitness has been so bad and he is at a point in his career where he would probably welcome the opportunity to move to a lesser club if it meant being the clear #1 leftback. To add to the leftback confusion, I don't know if Galloway is being groomed as a leftback or centerback but he shows promise. Kone- really not sure about this one. He works well with Rom and has shown good moments as a squad player, but will obviously be someone who declines in ability and it would be nice to clear room to bring in another younger striker with potential. Mirallas- Example of a great player that doesn't always have the right attitude. Funny that he's been touted for potential moves to big clubs, but as I see it, he performs much better when he is the big fish in the little pond or the clear star at the club. He's really not taken well to Barkley's rise, Deulofeu, Lennon and Cleverley's arrivals that have made him have to work much harder for playing time. Think it's time for both parties to end this marriage. It would be quite a hectic summer to move on from all these players, but so many of them play such small roles as it is, so it might not be as disruptive as one might think. We'll see what happens. Ratings to move on for me: Hibbert- 10/10 Pienaar- 10/10 McGeady- 10/10 Howard- 10/10 Gibson- 9/10 Oviedo- 8/10 Osman-8/10 Kone- 7/10 Baines- 5/10 Mirallas- 8/10 Agree with most of these here apart from three. The first being Howard, and this one is easily debatable. We need a new keeper, I'm not disputing that one bit. I'd like to see Howard stay as a back up keeper, however unlikely that is! Oviedo, despite injury issues, is a good back up player and I think it would be foolish to try to replace him. He has really good spells and if he could get himself fit consistently then he could be a great rotation player for us. Finally, Baines. Leighton is still one of the best left backs in the league, he has been injured for a fraction of a season. Lets not get over our heads and say we could possibly sell him because of a dip in form due to injury. The creativity and leadership and he has to offer is massive for Everton. I remember earlier on in the season when he came back from injury and he played his socks off and showed us exactly what he's about. I'd hate to see him go. As for Garbutt, he looks to me as if he could possibly end up in a central role in that defence position. Looks very very promising though.

EFC-Paul Posted March 18, 2016 Report Share Posted March 18, 2016 (edited) Garbutt would be wasted centrally he has every attribute you need in a LB if he was to be moved I'd say he would be useful as a winger His pace and delivery which for me when he played was fantastic he's definitely one I've personally got high hopes for The only two I'd personally keep hold of from the list above are Baines and Oviedo Edited March 24, 2016 by EFC-Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
