So, with Mirallas, Lennon, McGeady and Atsu in our squad, we should now have cover for the wide positions.
We've got Lukaku and Kone for the number nine position.
We've got Naismith and Barkley for the number ten role.
Hopefully - and injuries & suspensions notwithstanding - RM won't be selecting square pegs in round holes for the front four positions, but will be able to rotate players in their best positions (especially for Thursday/Sunday fixtures). Just a pity that Lennon can't play for us in the Europa League, as he's cup-tied.
Only other downer imho - despite what other posters have opined - is that we currently don't have a fit Osman or a fit Pienaar to come off the bench if/when we need a little guile or clever play "in between the lines" up front.
We also have cover - experienced & youngsters - in midfield & defence. Pretty much two players (or better) for every position. Just concerned re the goalkeeping cover.
All in all, credit where credit's due to RM (and BK) re the transfer window: OK, some posters wanted loads of changes - for various reasons (!) - but we kept the likes of McCarthy, Mirallas, Coleman, Barkley, etc., when they were clearly being linked with other clubs. I just hope that we tie up Garbutt to a new contract.
The summer transfer window will surely be when there will be movement in and out of our squad. Cleverley looks like he's RM's choice for the Osman/Pienaar role - even if he's held in such low regard by several posters! I'm also wondering how many of our youngsters - especially those on loan like Lundstram, Grant, McAleny, etc. - will actually be in next season's squad or will move on.
Hmmm - I think I'm slowly coming out of my deep, deep, depression about Everon that I've been wallowing in since before Christmas.

{Ed025's Note - nice to hear it sid...and as ever good post mate..

Agree0 Disagree0

Just wait untill we sign Clevs, Sid mate. The happiness will be off the scale.

Our greatest day is on the way.

He is coming.

He will be here.

We are Everton

That's what we do
In Roberto I believe
Sign King Clevs

{Ed025's Note - it will be a really sad day if we do sign clevs mike..he makes mcgeady look like maradonna..

The only worry I have about signing Clevs is how will the other players react. Knowing that they will have a team mate head and shoulders above them might have a negative effect of the team morale. I hope they realise how lucky they will be to share a dressing room with such a player.

The good thing though is Clevs is such a humble, talented, technically gifted player, ( a one in a generation if you will), that he will thrive here. Clevs for Captain. I can't wait for the season to end now. Get him in.

{Ed025's Note - you know...somewhere in my evil mind i want to sign him....just to get your reaction mike.. :)

Agree with everything Cowpat.except the Osman bit. Our best performance of the season was Wolfsburg away (home wasn't bad too) were Osman played a full part in breaking down 2 Wolfsburg attacks and played the balls out of defence for our 2 goals. He was outstanding. But as usual got little praise for an exceptional performance in holding midfield. not his usual! We have still only won 2 games all season without him. But I am starting to annoy Swan now so I will shut up!!

HI FELLOW BLUES JUST A QUICK POINT TO PONDER IF WE PLAY ARRON LENNON WONT HE TAKE THE SPACE S COLEMAN TAKES. WHEN HE PLAYED FOR SPUDS THAT WAS HIS AREA.

{Ed025's Note - he should play higher up the pitch streety..

I have said before that is why baines and Coleman have not been so effective this season we have been to narrow Naismith Barkley and eto so opposition full backs push up and restricts our full backs getting fwd. good post cowpat we have all bee frustrated but if you look at the squad now it is balanced with quality. Just need a a rb and cb next season. I think rm made a mistake with eto I don't know if he disrupted the team as personally but he is a no10 and we had two players in that position already. Hopefully Roberto has learned from it.

THANKS ED025 YOU JUST GOT THE JOB

Haven't been cleverlys biggest fan to be honest but I think he can play the Osman role of linking attack and defence nicely. Also if he is on a free I wouldn't complain too much at least he would be fit unlike the ever crocked Gibson. Still young and showed promise early in his career, would be nice for him to come good for us!

{Ed025's Note - come on clarkey....surely you cant be serious mate?....he is awful..

At least Clarkey has got a bit of a clue. He sees the wonder of Clevs.

Ed, you will be drooling next season as Clevs sprays the ball 5 yards backwards and sideways, keeping the ball like the midfield metronome that he is.

C'mon guys we need complete rebuild this does not include cleverley or Martinez! End of!

If anything else he is another body, are squad is always short and he is a young England international available on a free. If he joins I hope he proves you all wrong, unlikely as that is!
