Newcastle's board makes our board look amazing haha, the only positive about Kenwrong is he doesn't try and sell all our best players etc, still he can get to f*** haha

For how long though? We sold Pienaar and received none of that money, wouldnt surprise me if we didnt see the Vaughan money again. He has to service our debts and if he cant afford it he is going to have to sell assets, and right now, the only assets we have are the players since he already sold everything else. {Ed025's Note - your right mate..if he starts selling off the family silver..we are in trouble!..

Arsenal set to bid £15m for Jagielka within the next few days, Moyes accepting is another story.

Make it 18mil and I would be tempted. really see Rodwell's future as a CB, has every attribute needed to be a world class CB. Jags has been a brilliant servant, but we need to start to making money and getting full values on players and 18mil for a soon to be 29yr old is a good value and continue to invest in younger players (in the range of 21-24) that can contribute to the first team. And anyway think heitinga is more than a good enough replacement, and the Jags/Distin partnership is deplorable, both vulnerable to silly mistakes leading to conceding cheap goals {Ed025's Note - dont agree mate..jags is in his prime at 28..him and distin works great..heitinga is an average squad player, and its alright planning for the future, but unless we do something now!..we may not have a future..

I wouldnt accept unless it was more than 25 million cos jags is better than lescott {Ed025's Note - i agree..

Its been confirmed on news that everton are the club "mad, mad keen" on n'zogbia but sources on say everton would have to sell one of there stars, jags or rodwell, i'd rather rodwell personally, i know he's local but he is just potential and we can afford to let him go with the likes of gueye, coleman, vellios and barkley looking impressive and still young and people still forget that felliani is still only 22 so we still have a good core of young lads.
I know moyes is stubborn and wants to keep his key players, but for me sacrificing rodwell for maybe 20 million and bringing in n'zogbia and a striker makes sense. What u rekon ed ?

We cannot afford to lose Rodwell. I know he had a stop start season but he is an unbelievable talent who could potentially go for double the the price that is being talked about now. If we can sell anyone it would be Bily, he has had long enough now to settle in and I dont see him gettitng better. He is just not premier league quality. {Ed025's Note - not billy,s biggest fan...but if we could get good money for rodders i would sell..but only if 100% of it, wnt on new signings..

I think it would be ideal also because I think Rodwell will leave us for a bigger club eventually anyway whether it takes a few years or not.

I see what your saying fella, but bilyaletdinov would only get us 7-8 million, rodwell would go for 20 million and that would get us 2 maybe 3 players giving what moyes is capable of in the market, makes sense to me. {Ed025's Note - and me..

Billy (8mil) + Yak (3mil) + Yobo (4mil) = 15mil

Rodwell = 15mil

Rather lose those 3 and keep Rodwell as those 3 are bit part players. {Ed025's Note - no argument from me there mate..

Man city already looking at Barkley expect £15 mil bid {Ed025's Note - they think they can just buy anyone...id tell them to..p*ss off!!

15m is nowhere near what barkely is worth tbh, if he is playing like this now, then expect a gem on our hands, #rejectallbidsunderfourty {Ed025's Note - i dont want us to become anyone,s feeder club...just hang the phone up!,,

This is utter garbage, I am pretty sure we would sacrifice Rodwell before we sacrifice Barkley, even if true we would tell them to f*** off. Looking forward to watching this kid play in an Everton shirt, although it was a preseason, he looked absolute class in the middle of the park, come the start of next season wouldnt surprise me if he is pushing for a starting berth if he continues like he is.

Considering Barkley is playing almost at the level of Rodwell and is 3 years younger, we shouldn't even think about accepting an offer for him

I went to a bar in manchester and overheard the end of someones conversation. All i caught was "....from everton with micah richards part of the deal." does anyone have any idea who this could be about or if micah is even available by man city? Sorry its not giving much to think about but thought id share it anyway. {Ed025's Note - probably just tittle tattle..

Never gunna happen, and besides, did you see coleman last night?

Well I went to a bar in the middle east, and I overheard two guys talking, they were saying "It si official, we have purchased Everton football club, and we have signed Messi and Ronaldo already". I swear, I would not lie.

I think we shouldve took him in the lescott deal when he wasnt in the team, now its too late though he is top player and would do us sound

For the c*ck with the second reply, why put up a narky comment like that? I like reading peoples rumours and comments but occaisionally you get a jackass that writes something like this guy and u just think how much ud love to slap him about a bit.

If anybody watched the DC United game can anybody agree with me to say they were really impressed with striker Chris Pontius. He was all over the pitch causing our defense ALOT of problems.
I know it's only a friendly and it could just be a one off game but the commentators spoke very highly of him and I think he fits the kind of forward role Everton need, a poacher who will not leave the defense to rest.
Being unknown with unrecognised talents to the rest of the world he would be a player who would come at a very cheap price.
I forgot to mention he was DC'S goalscorer. {Ed025's Note - the thing is..it was only a friendly, the premiership is the hardest league in the world, im sure DM has got players in mind...i trust him implicitly ...

Thought Gueye and Barkley looked well and Beckford looked confident when he came on.....got a feeling he's gonna have a good season but he needs to be playing regular for 90 min's in order to build his confidence in front of goal. Victor took his goal well but I think we should enjoy the moment cos we won't see many more when season starts. {Ed025's Note - its hard to tell with pre-season friendlies, because we are trying different combinations,..

Tbh that is one game that we have watched, anichebe looked good in that game, even with his finishing, but never scored all season. {Ed025's Note - take no notice of these pre-season games..they are no reflection of the side we will field on the opening day..

I know ed, but I was saying: anichebe looked good, but it dont mean nothing {Ed025's Note - he did look ok....but i would be very surprised if he figured much this season..

Good thinking batman, i shall leave the intelligent thinking firmly within your grasp Ed.

COYB. {Ed025's Note - i will do my best mate..
