Looks like Eto'o's decision will be either tonight or first thing. something quite not right. why after 6 months is he leaving? well if he does leave we need a back up striker to go with kone. any ideas ed?

I am all for playing good football but not at the expense of players strengths. Nice guy that Roberto is and despite players (Ross) saying they will play anywhere, I suspect they are getting fed up being shoehorned into alien positions just to fit Roberto's system. Eto is a good player and it is his experience that has enabled him to adapt but I suspect he now thinks enough is enough.

It appears that he is not needing to exit everton where he is happy with the club, players and Martinez it is just that he sees italy as his home where he has a house and he recently got married there.

met Eto after the man u game at Manchester Airport travelling with his partner and family back to Italy. It appears he's spending a lot of time there any way, But the main problem was his family being hassled by the Immigration staff. Maybe a move to Italy maybe for more family reasons than anything else

Well, with Etoo leaving, Ossie likely to hang up his boots, the usual ongoing injuries & an urgent need to start winning games in the premier league.I'm expecting some activity of sorts on the transfer front, if bill doesn't sanction it this time we are in big big trouble!

Believable7 Unbelievable6

{Ed025's Note - RM has stated that he is happy with the size of his squad zacki, so dont expect more than possibly a keeper mate..

14 Jan 2015 16:30:18
. ed, when he said that wasn't it before Etoo was leaving, Ossie possibly retiring through injury?!? So surely in that instance with the squad being reduced in size since that statement coupled with our very poor run of late there needs to be an adjustment in his/bills thoughts?!?

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed025's Note - i would like to think so zacki, but if we do add to the outfield squad i will be surprised mate..

14 Jan 2015 14:24:55
ed? do you think there could be any chance of anything more than a GK this window, I think we will also need a LM and a CB jags is past it now surely

Believable0 Unbelievable2

{Ed025's Note - i would not think so mate..

We do need a strong centre back who commands the box as we are being caught out time and again with crosses into the box. Our defenders don't attack the ball and are all over the place when it comes to free kicks and corners into the area. Someone like shawcrss who is good at winning headers and clearing into row z!!

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed025's Note - i dont think he quite fits the roberto total football mould to be honest mondo..

I know what your saying but we have been terrible all year with corners and free kicks into the box. Is is that we play zone defence and don't pick anyone up or what? If we had a big centre half like for example Shawcross (or someone like him) to win headers he can easily pass 3 yards to his left or right to Coleman, baines or stones - surely to God he can pass the ball 3 or 4 yards!

Agree2 Disagree0

14 Jan 2015 19:22:16
I agree shawcross would be perfect martinez needs to swallow his pride and realise this is the type of defender we need

Agree2 Disagree0

Ed with sammy etoo leaving will there be a new striker comming in

Believable0 Unbelievable2

{Ed025's Note - i would not think so adam, at least not in this window mate..

14 Jan 2015 13:25:47
rumour has it
its samual eto, that is causing all the unrest in the camp saying players are sh@@ etc, any info eds?

Believable3 Unbelievable2

{Ed025's Note - that has been mentioned on some forums ste, but how true it is im not sure mate..

14 Jan 2015 14:03:51
well - one or two of them are! - they need to do some 'keepy uppies' all day long - to get their foot skills up to scratch - some have first touch like an elephant - some can't pass it straight - its not the difficult skills we're lacking - it's often the easy stuff

Agree0 Disagree1

Apparently, Brescia are in a massive financial crisis and have not paid their players in two weeks. If they miss a third payment, then they will be forced to let all their players leave on a free. Ahmad Benali said to be interested in a move back to PL. He'd be a quality signing on a free.

I think after last nights performance the players have shown that they are up for the fight. We need to ensure we finish mid table and have a revamp of the squad next season. We need to ship out at least 7 players: Howard, Kone, Gibson, Pienaar, Eto, Distin, Mc Geady. We will be lucky to get £10m for them. To replace them we will need £50m+ so we will need either investment or we will have to sell one of our prized asset. If we get the right money for Barkley - £30-£40m I would let him go to enable us to build a stronger squad!

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed025's Note - my problem mondo...is that we should have been up for it from day 1 mate, then we would not be in this position, is it because roberto has been too soft with them?, or a world cup hangover?, or players believing that they are better than they really are?..i dont know..

I totally agree Ed. RM is walking on thin ice. If we don't win against West Brom or Palace we in deep sh**e. He might have plenty of time to have a long break in Brazil soon :-)! Maybe this lazy attitude got to the players in August as we had a very poor start to the season and if we don't buck up we could have a disastrous end to the campaign. Maybe the jobs is too big for him?

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed025's Note - i know it cant have been easy with the world cup and all mondo, but our pre-season was a disaster, i love bobbys attitude and am desperate for him to do well but this is a results business mate, and as you say if we dont get results from the next few games and get dragged in to the relegation scrap the pressure on him will be immense..

14 Jan 2015 12:42:17
I'd also add Hibbert and possibly Ossie to the list. There's 9. Almost a full squad.

Personally think Joel could do the job for us with a bit more 1st team practice and mentoring from Tim if he stepped back.

But completely agree with above. The dead wood needs to go and we need to spend quite a bit to replace them considering our squad is relatively small as it is.

Ed - any news on any incomings? Fed up of hearing about outgoings Eto, Barkley to Liverpool now! (LOL)

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed025's Note - nothing as yet mate..

14 Jan 2015 13:51:32
9 players need replacing, we've got no money, let's sign the players on loan?

Agree0 Disagree0

Not only budget but wage will be free up.

Agree0 Disagree0

If Liverpool seriously want to pay 60mil for Barkley Then maybe rm should sell him now and bring in new/fresh faces. Joel Campbell rumoured at 8mil and deulofeu same price. Still have 40+ mil to bring in a defender and keeper.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed025's Note - i dont know where you heard that from anom, but its just not true mate..

I doubt the Liverpool rumour is true but even if he were to be sold for £60m if you think the manager would see any more than half that amount you're kidding yourself

Agree0 Disagree0
