anyone think that rodwell be here next season? if he has an excellent season, will be difficult to keep a hold of him and especially if he has no injuries.. what u think?

CP {Ed025's Note - i see him being here for the long run cp..

Yep i do seeing him being here still as he owes Everton for standing by him through all his injuries. Mike

I think he owes the club a bit of loyalty with all the time he has spent out with injury. And he seems like the kind of guy that won't f*** over people who have helped him. In my opinion anyway.

Cornol Sanders - I hope your right, we have had some who haven't shown that loyalty in the past - Dan Gosling for example.

Ed. Why not set us blues a little task. See if anyone can post a rumour on our neighbours page which gets posted . A rumour which gets them all excited about nothing. {Ed025's Note - lets not stoop to their level mate..

Ill have a go..

CP

Oh please... Come on now lads, we're better than that.

Yes, we get the odd person on here trying to get a rise out of us. Note the word 'person'. Don't be that guy on their site!

Don't forget the Eds have to waste their time reading that rubbish just to delete it anyway! Let us all just concentrate on our own teams.

What really puts me off coming on here is when someone gives a rumour, and the next reply is "Source?" {Ed025's Note - they are only asking where they heard the rumour mate, its no big deal!..

Source? {Ed025's Note - love it..

I think it is funny though. everything on here is 99% speculation, and we all know it. . so why demand 'the source'! {Ed025's Note - for it to be a rumour, you must have heard it somewhere!....this is not makeupaloadofcrap dot com..

I think if you hear/read a rumour you should include both where you heard/saw it and your name. I can understand people's frustration with Kopites posting rubbish and it's only going to increase with the school holidays.

Popeye {Ed025's Note - your right popeye..

If you have a rumour, post it.. we'd obviously know if its a load of bullsh*t... if you dont have a source, where did you hear it?

I have bought the pre-season package.. i can stream it from my pc, would i be able to post the link on here?

CP {Ed025's Note - yes mate..

Ok ill set a website up later tonight.. and ill post the link about 30 mins before kick off tomorrow.. {Ed025's Note - cheers mate..

Why would you do that if you have paid for it?

Doesnt cost me anything.. also, helping fellow blues out...

CP

I meant to say, doesnt cost me any extra to stream..

CP

Good on you then CP much appreciated im sure. Mike

Ed is their a way i can have my name showing automatically when replying to a message as i forget quite often to leave my name. {Ed025's Note - no mate...tie a piece of string round your finger or something..

Lol just proved my point. Mike

Cheers mate much appreciated

Thats aweful kind of you CP, I don't imagine you'd get the same level of generosity on the kopite page.

Bobcat

Would that mean its free for us then?

Yes it would then be free to everyone, so the expense of the club bothering to send tv crews to the game will be exploited and a much needed revenue stream (pardon the pun) will be lost. We complain that we have no cash, then when the club try's to be innovative and generate extra income we find a way of spoiling it. We would be up in arms with a 10-15% increase in season tickets as well yet have pretty much the cheapest in the league.
Sorry to be a boring c**t but we can't have our cake and eat it, the club is trying to compete financially with serious revenue restrictions, Nike is a start but I think the shirts are too expensive I think ticket prices should go up 10% across the board, that would for example cover Naismith wages and allow us another free transfer.
Anyway stream away lads I for one will pay for the games I want to see.

Svenny £98 for a 14 year olds kit, socks, shorts, top

We need the directors to stop taking a huge slice of the profits (not just Bill) as we already pay out enough to support our team

Just read the top ten candidates for golden boot this season jelavic is on there which I believe he is capable of 20+ but what upsets me is below it states 'if he continues like like season he will help everton punch above there weight'

Now for me when will journalists and pundits realise that as a team were easily capable of challenging top 4 I hate people think we're punching above our weight without the rubbish start we would win the league lol

Ant Wharton {Ed025's Note - being underdogs suits me ant..

If we get underestimated, means we are over exceeding or whatever the word is.. better for us!

CP

I think journalists mean punching above our weight in terms of money spent compared to others which is right in a way. Nothing to do with the quality of our players. Mike

Its the way everton our stand together nothing but the best do us proud

They always find a way to put us down, personally it doesnt bother me, it just makes it all the more satisfying giving them the finger when we again do what they say we couldnt!!

What do we call you then? Should we say "nice one Coldy" or "Source Pizzy" "Or is this b/s Pizza?" or just plain old "Good Post ColdPizza". See with names like Tristen, BlueTone, Degsybluenose,ToffeeTony, Wizard of Osman etc...you can just call them Tris/Tristen, Tone, Degz/Degsy, Tony, Wiz....ColdPizza just doesn't work. Think of a new name AND FAST!

Just reading the evening standard on line, and in particular a story about the impending Peanuts transfer. Some moronic spurs fan has commented on there 'small fish in a big pond...Everton just right for Pienaar'

Without checking the stats, i bet Pienaar got more goals and assists than Modric in half the games. You wait till Peanuts is back where he belongs, and we'll see who is a small fish when we come down to Sh*te Hart Lane!

Alastair

What a helmet.peanuts is coming back to where he belongs nil satis nisi optimum.

Typical Spuds fans, have one very good season and think they are world beaters.. I tell you this now with massive confidence, Everton will tear the spuds fans a new a***hole come match day.

Luc Cas' kid is off to Twente. Using part of 12/15m received from L.De Jong transfer to BMGladbach, to fund a permanent deal of around 6m.

Never seen him play so can't say I'm disappointed.

Is this Katidis trial concrete? Wasn't he the stand out player at the recent U19's comp Ed? {Ed025's Note - dont know ...sorry..

Just checked it out, he is the guy i'm thinking of. Whoever he plays for will be able to command a fee off the back of his turn out the last few weeks. Probably gives the rumour minimal legs.

17 Jul 2012 15:16:41
more than likely, the team against utd will possibly be:

howard
hibbert - heitinga - jagielka - baines
osman - gibson - rodwell - pienaar
fellaini
jelavic


Naismith won't be started right away.. he needs to get fully fit and will begin making his way into the first team several games in..

cahill cant play because hes suspended...

im also not too sure about back four because moyes seems to favour distin whenever hes fit...

Ste1878

I think your right with the Distin thing, Moyes likes a left footer on the left of the cb's and vice versa. Also good point on Naismith but a full pre-season under his belt should see him ready for the season. But it is United first up Phil Neville always gets the nod and rightly so after the leadership he showed at Old Trafford in the 4-4, hibbo will start on the bench

Mike aintree

Fair point about neville there..

Eds i know this is a rumours site. Howerer there is difference between rumours and pie in the sky idiocy. If there is is a way to sort out the rumours that look like they have some credence from those that don't then please do, If not i understand. COYB. {Ed024's Note - Dodgy rumours should be put on the banter page if they are funny and worth seeing ortherwise they should be deleted, i think only credible rumours should be put on the rumours page and that is what we try and do

17 Jul 2012 13:06:47
Surely manuel fernandes is worth a gamble as a free agent quality player

I agree, he would be great for the blues, fitted in really well last time and is a top class player with an eye for a goal

Bez the blue

I have wrote a post before on people typing mischevious text!...hell bent on causing distress,. and in house fighting amongst blues.
Now!.. I can spot a wind up! after the first sentence!.. So why do the editers, who police this great site! persist in publishing them!...I my self have posts refused before, proberly for being to aggresive! and angry, but with hignsight, that was the correct thing to do. So could you not apply the same process to stopping malicious rumours who,s only intent is to upset!... and please don,t say it,s just banter, as banter is funny, some of these post are definitly not!......johnmacfromfazak.

Sir Alex Ferguson says that youngster Robbie Brady will be given the chance to 'impress' at LB for United on their tour. Perhaps suggests that Baines is going nowhere if he's looking for alternatives.

17 Jul 2012 10:27:13
pienaar's t***ter post;
'Can't move great 1st day though'

how can we read into this? could it be he has been put through his pace's at a medical, is now sore because of the exercise, but passed it with ease!
hmm.......the mind boggles!

EverTheOptimistic

Or it was his first day back at Spuds, because technically he still is a Spud. But shouldn't be too long until he is an Evertonian! Just got to be patient.

17 Jul 2012 09:37:45
I would take owen on pay as you play deal. personally i think he will go to another club.
we might not even be that interested in him its just rumours. I can only see pienaar and maybe one more coming in.

Andy

Andy i would take pienaar and one more and see it as a great summer as long as the one is not owen. i don't believe any one will leave and we will start like we finished last season add another couple of loans come january, top 4 sorted....grbefc

Pienaar and one other would do me Andy.

On the Owen thing... Can't stand the guy. He always comes across as a snivelling little jobsworth. He should quit football and become a health and safety officer or a traffic warden or somethng... No way he's a Blue... No way!

Team i would play next season

Howard
Heitinga Jagielka Distin Baines
Rodwell Gibson
Naismith Fellaini Pienaar
Jelavic

Heitinga had on his bio " Right back and centre back for Everton" a few weeks ago. He has played there before and i would test him there cause Distin is so consitant and fast in the defence.
Naismith said on his Live WebChat on Everton site he prefers to play on the right but not a winger. Right attacking mid in 4231 formation is perfect for him. We can change the formation while the games progress and see were it takes us, but i would start of with this to see how it is
� � � ���
TonyEFC

For me, Heitinga has to be at CB, personally think he is the best CB we have at the club and would rather see Jags or Distin at RB if we were going in that direction. Besides, I really don't think Hibbert is as bad as ever says, he was very good during our 2nd half run and provided some decent crosses that led to goals.

17 Jul 2012 05:36:23
i personally would take owen on a same type contract when we bought saha in, moyes could bring the best out of him. Also all this worry about us selling baines of course we want to keep him but if weve gotta sell to keep the wolves at the door so be we dont want problems with the bank weve got 2 good kids in reserve and we should trust in moyes up the toffs

Nessy {Ed025's Note - we have a lot more than 2 good kids in the reserves nessy..

Sorry Nessy there is no more best in him mate.

He could have come to us before Man U, also before he tried to go to China a few weeks ago, also before he tried to go to Stoke.

He will have no passion left in him, we want hungry strikers.

No way Pedro

Degsybluenose

Sorry ed i meant we have 2 kids to fill in the left back spot if baines does go sorry for confusion we have a wealth of talent coming through as you quite rightly stated

nessy

Seriously, how many chances does a striker need to join his so called boyhood club.

Degs, he was also offered to come back when Newcastle bought him.

I would crawl from Swansea over broken glass to have a chance of turning out under the sweet tune of Z Cars. He's no Evertonian.

He needs to join a team stupid enough to think he cares about them.

Would of had him a few years ago ore Newcastle but not now not ever

Toffee ace

Absolutely agree Degsy. Owen was never a great 'team' player, it was all about 'me'.
Not right at all for a team like ours, even he had the pace - which he clearly now hasn't.

Nick O

Dont get me wrong, Im would not be 100% happy if we brought Owen in however! Thinking of it as a direct replecement for Macfadden? Doesnt sound too bad!

Blue Bones

I don't know why everyone is slagging owen off the guy knows where the net is ok he is past his best but is still capable of coming of the bench and grabbing a winner I would take him on a pay as you play contract and also throw in a goal bonus could be a good piece of business I also think everyone we buy or take from man utd is successful

17 Jul 2012 00:06:54
Michael Owen very close to joining unnamed club. i think its a 8 out of 10 it may be us and actually i hope it is. the duck

We're favourites to sign him on so this does have some legs..not really excited about the prospect of him joining though, not seen enough of him over the last few years...
Murf

Nah its stoke

16 Jul 2012 23:18:47
Degsy, Ed25 did you get my explanation about Reighton Baines? BlueTone {Ed025's Note - yes mate...look back..

Got it BT lol
