Baines now 1/6 to sign for the Mancs, what a nightmare, really thought he was a true blue, hope it doesn't happen, ok if he wants to win silverware there are plenty of other clubs he could join, can't stand the Mancs, they're worse than the RS, Oh and I hope Moyes fails big time {Ed025's Note - serena williams was 1/6 to win wimbledon..
Believable5
Unbelievable3
You do realise baines is a kopite? {Ed025's Note - he is an everton legend!..
Agree4
Disagree6
Hes a blue nose! always has been! fact! so get it right!
Agree5
Disagree3
He was 7/4 to stay with us but was backed in yesterday to 11/8 and then 11/10 after a flood of bets. They rarely get it wrong but I feel (hope) they have with this.
Agree2
Disagree2
Baines is not a kopite, his dad is and he only went to two Liverpool games and wasn't intrested. He then signed for everton as a youngster and supported the blues. I know this because my dad works with his uncle
Agree3
Disagree1
Actually he is a Liverpool fan or was when he was a youngster. Who cares anyway he is Evertons best player and a club legend.
Wudz

Disagree1
Yes I agree Ed I was just pointing out he was a Liverpool fan.
Agree1
Disagree1
Lads just to clear it up I went to school with bainsey, from infants right thru seniors and yes he was a red all his family r apart from 1. But no doubting he's a blue now!
Agree2
Disagree1
We are Utd's feeder club, no loyalty in this sad game, Moyes you treacherous twxt. The irony is that we are trying to do the same thing to Wigan? (Wavertree Blue)
Agree4
Disagree2
The difference is our players are class. We are signing utter rubbish. Bad start to his managerial reign at everton.
Agree1
Disagree0
Carragher was a blue. Is he these days? end of convo
Agree2
Disagree1
Stephen Gerrard wanted to leave Liverpool until his family got threatened by certain heavies in the city
Michael Owen was an Evertonian til he became an moneyonian - Steve McManaman was also a blue - plus Robbie Fowler and several other red mercenaries
is there any point to this conversation? - sigh
anyway - for what it's worth, Baines was defo always a blue

Not going to happen, not good enough for EFC.

Kone isn't either, but we're still signing him. Hope it's not true as I don't rate Cattermole. He's too likely to get himself sent off.

Just seen Leighton Baines leaving estate agents in formby maybe putting his house up for sale
Believable1
Unbelievable12
Why would he need to put his house up for sale? Manchester is really far!
Agree4
Disagree1
I saw him as well. Shortly after a pig flew over my head!
Agree4
Disagree1
I imagine if you were sell in 2m pound house the estate agent would be coming to you, not chatting in the shop.
Agree4
Disagree1
Or maybe he's seeing what's available with the funds from his new deal BK is offering. ? (Fingers crossed!)
Agree1
Disagree1
Why would he move even if he was going to Man Utd? It is hardly Liverpool to London. In addition to how settle he always says he is in the area and how much family means to him.
Agree1
Disagree1
He wouldn't move, that's why Manchester United are the only team he would move to from us.
Agree0
Disagree0
02 Jul 2013 16:04:58
Apparently is either between. Sinclair or Ince, Sinclair will most likely be a loan or a cheaper buy but Ince is preferred choice but more expensive and Liverpool have a percentage of the fee
Believable4
Unbelievable3
Hope its not Ince he has a terrible attitude. classic case of legend in his own lunchtime {Ed025's Note - isn,t he just..

Haha can't believe this poster thinks tv always gets transfer news right
Cheeks
Agree2
Disagree2
Sly are saying Everton COULD be interested. Doesn't say we are. We could be, we couldn't be. It's hardly a concrete statement of interest is it? We could be interested in Messi, and probably are, doesn't mean we're going to sign him.
Agree3
Disagree1
To be fair to Ed, tv said we were intrest in Jack Butland a while ago when there was no intrest what so ever
Agree1
Disagree1
There's no smoke without fire: various parties - agents, some sections of the press (especially those close to managers), the ubiquitous "tv", etc. , will drip feed (or flood!) the media to serve their own needs.
Everton - like every other club - is "linked" with players and/or are "interested" in loads of players. That doesn't mean a bid has been made - let alone any deal agreed or any negotiation even started. That's my opinion anyway.
Agree1
Disagree1
Just look at the record, the Ed's on here get it right a damn sight more times than the sky or the rest of the press does.
And of course those having a punt with a betting company of the same name based on their information would just be a happy coincidence!
Agree1
Disagree1
Ed doesn't predict that much, or isn't even sure on a lot of matters. But he is usually spot on when his. tv will report on anything.
Agree0
Disagree0
03 Jul 2013 18:45:20
I've looked at hundreds of players including Messi if you want to start a new rumour. I think the whole of the Everton coaching squad have probably had a look at him too. Doesn't mean we are likely to sign him or Ince. I go with Ed0025 and his views.

Goalkeeper Joel Robles from Spain expected to be Martinez first signing for �1m
He had him on loan at Wigan and is a solid pair of hands
Believable10

I'd be surprised if this happens but would welcome him, I think he could be a top keeper.
I could be wrong but I'm sure he was number1 at athletico before he got injured
TJ

Courtois no 1 at atletico
Fearon
Agree0
Disagree1
Is the OP making an educated guess or is this a rumour based on inside information?
Agree0
Disagree1
He did take over the #1 at Atletico for a few games. Sergio Asenjo got hurt, so he was first choice in the weeks between De Gea signing for Man United and Courtois coming in on loan.
Young, big frame (6'5"), and with potential. Could be a goer for the Telegraph's reported £600-650k. We need a backup keeper, and he did alright at the end of the season for Wigan.

Between 35-50% of that will go to the RS as a sell on clause in his contract

Sly ;Everton could be interested in Tom Ince
Believable7
Unbelievable10
Where?
Agree0
Disagree1
Hope not because if we ended up buying him he has a clause were the reds receive 50% from the transfer other 50% goes to blackpool.
Agree2
Disagree1
Sky even
Agree1
Disagree2
For 8. 5-9mil, rather not. Would rather take a chance at redmond for 2mil, than Ince for 9mil.
I really hope we stay away from England when doing transfer business, prices are inflated to ridiculous amounts, whereas abroad there are some bargains to be had.
Agree5
Disagree2
Theses a great change of landing Tom ince

Hope your right. good young player

They get 25%, and they would get that whoever buys him, if he improves our team, don't give a dam, 8m = 2m, in todays football, small change.

Andy Holden Sacked. Big Dunc next?
Man Utd ramp up to 16mil for Baines (as predicted), he will definitely be in a Manchester United Shirt soon. BTW he was not at Finch Farm Yesterday. Read into that what you will.
And KONE on the Never Never. If we get him. Big IF!
Yes BAU at EFC,, Brings out the gloom and doom in me!
Believable4
Unbelievable15
Really do hate these negative posts. EFC players don't report back until later in the week, Martinez started yesterday, not players!
So that puts an end to your Baines theory.
Agree2
Disagree3
If Kone signs, it will be all the money up front. Wigan don't want him to go and don't have to sell, he's still got 2 years on his contract. Wigan are playing hard ball.
Agree2
Disagree2
He wasn't at FF because he was involved in internationals with England, so he gets a little longer, Biffy.
Agree3
Disagree2
Baines been at Glastonbury All weekend. poor guy probably had no darn sleep and catching up on it for a day.
Agree3

Baines has extra time off due to international duty earlier. Nothing insidious about that
Toffee ace.

Ffs biffy lad, how depressing are you? joking apart a recent national survey concluded that out of all the cities in the UK scousers are the most pessimistic and view life through a half empty glass. not doing much to break that stereotype are we?

We on't sell him for 16 million. It will have to be a massive bid, over the 20. I'm guessing atleast 22.

City fm have confirmed a fee of 6m agreed with wigan for Kone. I for one hope this deal collapses as he adds nothing we don't already have in the squad. Waste of 6mil.
Believable6
Unbelievable14
I don't think we have a goalscorer do we?
Agree2
Disagree1
That makes no sense. Kone scored more goals than Jelavic and Anichebe last season, so the tin itself will mean he brings something to the squad.
He knows Martinez, he knows the system he plays, he is very good at holding the ball up and allowing the likes of Mirallas, Pienaar and others to get forward and attack, and he has shown he can score in this league.
Personally, he would be our best striker at the club if he came.
Agree5
Disagree1
Silly comment, waste of money.
He is something we don't have, speed in the forward line, how many times did you see Seamus or Super Kev leg it up the other end and there was no one to cross too.
play Vellios? There is a reason he doesn't get a game, he is shat.
Agree4
Disagree1
I personally think it will put jelavic back to his scoring ways as well
Agree1
Disagree1
Jela has shown he can score in this league. It's not his fault Moyes plays all strikers as marathon runners instead of the main position they prefer - a striker.
Agree2
Disagree1
Hopefully move victor on for similar money so in effect costing us nothing to replace someone who couldn't hit a bulls arse with a banjo for someone who knows where the onion bag is.
makes sense to me
stewillow
Agree5
Disagree1
Goalscorer - let's calm down a bit here. He only scored 12?
Agree1
Disagree4
He scored 12 goals in a poor team that got relegated! How many would he score in a top 6 team? A lot more I suggest
Torbay Toffee
Agree4
Disagree1
Has anyone else actually seen him play for wigan, over range of games? I have and I have to say he is not the player that would improve on what we have alreadt got. he holds the ball up very well, however I believe big vic can already do this job and at a better rate. I have also seen him miss some golden opportunities in front of the goal, he played 90 mins in nearly every game and only scored 12 goal. i'm sorry but for a big chunk of budget and who other teams are recruiting he just is not quite good enough
Agree1
Disagree2
We need heads at the moment and he is no worse than a lot of prem strikers last season. we need players simple as.
Agree0
Disagree2
Huge step down from the likes of Negredo and Soldado that have been talked about coming
Agree2
Disagree3
I would usually agree keith but check the stats he covered no more ground than anyone, plus I doubt he was asked to do anything different from his first 6 months with us, he needs the competition and nobody has watched more of kone than RM, must see something in him

Yeah great idea. Look what Chelski got when they paid £50 million for Torres!
Agree0
Disagree1
02 Jul 2013 07:00:36
r m wants kone not for his goals but for the way he works the channels and holds the ball up while midfielders move up and then flood the box. to make this attacking style 3 5 2 then you need players like alcaraz and kone to make this system work. he also needs a very speedy winger and an old headed exp keeper as number 2. so he will buy 4 players. tp.
Believable8
Unbelievable2
If we play 352 that means baines has gone because there's no left back position
Agree0
Disagree1
Why would that mean baines has gone. He plays as a wing back! Honestly some people on here are clueless!
Agree3
Disagree0
No he pushes full backs up into midfield and wing positions he might even bring mcmannam in and everton get 25 per cent of his sell on value anyway so could get him for about 4 million. he gets his 5 in midfield by pushing defenders up into forward and midfield. positions. get ready for very high scoring games. this alcaraz is a defender ball playing midfielder its the barca way and when you lose the ball they have 40 seconds to get it back. which is also the way arsenal play. rollercoaster on way ha. tp.
Agree1
Disagree0
^maybe a defensive left mid?
Agree0
Disagree0
How good idea if Kone replace Felli at AMC.!
Agree0
Disagree1
Baines will be a left wing back he is 1 of the 5 across the middle, coleman will be right wing back.
Agree1
Disagree1
Left wingback?
Agree0
Disagree0
He plays more a 3-4-3 in my opinion with full backs
Agree0
Disagree0
Are you for real?? 3-5-2 means your playing with wing backs, the position that BAINES and COLEMAN were born for!
Le Smack
Agree1
Disagree0
Baines would slot into the left wingback position if he stays. Would release him forward even more, knowing he has the engine to get back into defensive positions also. Even though its a 3 5 2, in defensive positions it still look like a 5 3 2 based on the assigned roles to each player
Agree0
Disagree0
Poster 3 is right. clueless.
Martinez never plays 3-5-2, I have never seen Wigan play with 2 up front. He wil switch from a 3-4-3 to a 4-2-3-1 and that is it.
Alcaraz will be a great free signing for you, but Kone at 5-6M, do me a favour. Wigan are smiling all the way to the bank.

this is the first day that most of the squad got back together. I hear that RM was not there, but they did the fitness tests and are seing him together tomorrow. only then will the dealing start. apparently he is bringing a few of his old back room team in, and that includes scouts so another week before we spend any money. not in the know but I think, Kone, Redmond and Honda will be it. i'm happy if we keep LB and Felli and ship a couple out to be replaced by Ross, Velo, Duffy and Lundstram.
