Bit random I know, but does anyone know how the new turf is looking at Goodison, and please don't say green.

Green {Ed003's Note - god knows why this is on rumours but I'm enjoying the replies to much to delete it.}

Why on earth would you be bothered even knowing how the grass is looking, I know fans want to be kept in the loop but that's ridiculous.
Agree0

A bit grassy {Ed003's Note - lmao}
Agree1

I don't know. But its supposedly one of the best. Can't wait to see us pass the ball around on it like we passed it against Blackburn
Agree0

I love turf I do mmmm

Ive heard from a guy in the know that its looking a bit good especially in the middle of the park and there may well be a bid comming in from MU as their manager is a envious of what's happening at Goodison

Roberto has asked for clay he says it suits the Spanish style, we only have one Scot in the squad so he said sod the grass court we will play on our new Spanish clay pitch strengths.

The grass isn't always greener or so my missus reckons anyway {Ed003's Note - Didn't say that to me ;-) }
Agree0

If you don't want green as an answer then I don't know what your expecting mate, its grass
Agree0

Martinez said it is a phenomenal surface
Agree1

Its always been good in the middle of the park because no one plays there.

What a ridiculous question, if this is what gets you excited then god knows how you react on deadline day
Agree0

Apparently it is Super Grass, so expect something, erm, really unusual o:)
Agree0

It might be important with our new style, it was very dome shaped previously.

Sounds like some of the lads have been smoking it, going by some of the replies.

Old news?

He was a Moyes target and they are just recycling old news, decent player though

Decent player but I can't see us going after ANOTHER winger

We've enquired about Michu.
Believable7
Unbelievable23
And how is he?

Agree1

I reckon he would be around 12m considering that they just bought bony {Ed025's Note - that was norwich mate..
Agree0
Disagree0
Bony did sign for swansea and not norwich ed! {Ed025's Note - he did mate, if only my memory was not that of a goldfish.. :)
Agree0
Disagree0
Maybe we could do a straight swap for Gueye? LMAO
Agree0
Disagree0
Michu will play behind Bony and will not leave Swansea for anything less than £20 million. He has also signed an extension to his contract. i'm afraid this will be a no starter Swansea Toffee.

Everton to put bid in of 15 million for McCarthy. very good player IMO.

I saw AMC. not settled yet only. No point to sign another mc. by 15 m. if felli not leave us.

15 million though, maybe worth 8
Degsy

So if we have 15mill do we really want to spend it on another Wigan player? How many more players do you think we need ed and which positions? The way Martinez was talking he seemed happy with Kone, Jelevic, Anichebe and Vellios as our 4 strikers. Don't forget Naismith can play up front too and Mirralas.
Agree0
Disagree1
If we get him at right price then fine. but why do people only accept that we can only buy a midfielder if 1 leaves. Its about getting players to grow squad and make people fight for their places otherwise we will always have a small squad.
Agree0
Disagree0
Find it hard to believe BK will sanction that, it's at least 5 mill to much, good player though.
Agree0
Disagree0
For that amount. no thank you!
Agree1

This would be a very good signing in my eyes. We need a beeter CM alongside Fellaini, especially as we are adopting a more passing and fluid approach, McCarty is perfect for us. yes 15m is a lot of money but I believe he is worth around 10 now with his previous performences, he has potential to become significantly better aswell. This is what we need.
Agree0
Disagree1
No Ta 15 mil ????
Hope not!!!
Agree2
Disagree0
I wouldn't mind this signing at all as he's a very good player, no he's not worth £15m but neither was fellaini when we bought and now he's worth double that, so I believe the case would be the same for McCarthy.
Agree1
Disagree2
Based on cup final day against Toure, silva, barry and nasri (together about 100m), does 15m not look like a snip? Plus hard working, no (obvious) ego and young lad too!
Agree2
Disagree0
Really good young player who fit in well an give use depth, but I offer them 10/12 max an vellios on a season long deal so he can get proper game time
Agree0
Disagree0
I see in the papers today were after medel from sevilla his fee is around £6 million pounds and says he would be perfect for efc martinez would love him but must find the funding for a bid ie selling one or two players to finance the deal so where has your £15 million bid for mcCarthy come from plus 4 players in for £6.5 million yet we must sell to buy so where is the new tv money gone bk must owe a lot of money to his so called friends earl and green if we are in the same position as last pre season selling to buy £75 million of extra revenue and yet same old efc and kenwright no funds for players getting fed up ed norwich cardiff and others spending big but still we only go bargain basement shopping disgraceful fed up but still love them coyb
Agree2
Disagree0
If he's not worth £15m now then he certainly will be in years to come. Joe Allen went for a similar fee and McCarthy is a much better player already. This lad has the potential to be something special. Could be the missing piece of the plan for El Bob and I'd love to see him at GP.
Agree2
Disagree0
Just because one journalist says we need to free up funds to buy a player for 6 million, doesn't mean there is no funds. Have you ever read newspaper talk on the tv site? There are often contradicting stories which subsequently means that the strength of some rumours are weak, or even the way they are portrayed are not accurate, i. e the reporter misinterpreted the information. For example, we may be trying to fee up funds for this player by selling someone who RM doesn't think we need, whilst we have funds to secure the services of other players such as McCarthy. Alternatively, that just may all be a load of sh*t, and RM might not have even considred him.

Am I the only blue who doesn't rate velios? He's average at best.
Get shut of him and Victor. {Ed025's Note - your in the minority mate..
Agree2

If gibson could stay fit we won't even need mccarthy, gibsons been are best player so far
Agree0

So Kone and McCarthy are apparently good enough for us but not good enough to keep wigan up. and don't say that two players cannot make a team good without looking at how many 1 man teams there are in the league.
Agree0

My main signings of the summer would have been Baines (re-sign contract) and McCarthy. I'd be an happy man if it happened.

Have always thought we never replaced Peter Reid whose inclusion in HKs team clearly led to the glory days, he came in after our 0-5 defeat to RS, he wasn't classy but broke apart quality opposition playmakers. Gary Medel could be that man who would allow the quality players to do what they're good at.

101% agree. My favourite player of all time, any era, any team.

Most influential player in my time supporting the blues, if Gary Medel is anywhere near as good he'll do for me.

You missed out Darron Gibson, he ran the show and is looking pure class. Vastly underated player. Bring on Juve, exciting times for the blues.

Spot on john. Have to agree with sharp about the comment though. Jelavic will be our main striker with kone making his impact from the bench
