Cardozo, nilmar and Owen have all been given the blue light to speak to Everton. Nilmar or Cardozo would be a great partner for Jelly, and Owen a decent backup...yobo And Anichebe look set to leave in coming days, rumpled coming in quick and fast about de Guzman and Martin petrov from Bolton, any truth in them I don't know
What do u think edd???

ToffeeAz {Ed025's Note - in my opinion az...all these names being bandied around, are just that...names!..i expect pienaar, plus a free or two mate..

Im not sure about Naismith, he's only scored 28 goals in 98 appearances for rangers since 2007. That's 28 goals in SPL I had no doubt about Jelavic but I'm not sure Naismith will cut it in the premier league in my opinion we would definately be better off using that money on the likes of dempsey. Thoughts everyone?

AussieBlue {Ed024's Note - Naismith is good and works well with jelavic, but if i had a choice out of the pair i would definitely sign dempsey, because he is tailor made for everton and would probably score more goals than naismith

Don't forget, he's only 25 mate, he is improving all the time and has scored 9 in 11 this year (in the league, he's been injured) for two million he would be a bargain!
Toffeepidge

I suppose at 2mil he would be a bargain as he is a hard worker and if anyone could get the best out of him it would be Moyes but I still think Dempsey is a must. Would love to see Jelavic, dempsey, Donovan and pienaar what do you fellas think the chances are?

AussieBlue {Ed025's Note - not very good to be honest aussie..i think dempsey would command bigger wages than we can afford..

I suppose looking at the players we have released wouldn't have made a huge difference to the wage bill but we can always hope. What do you see happening ed?

AussieBlue {Ed025's Note - pienaar and a free or two mate....and im quite happy about that..

I'm thinking the same got a strong feeling that this might be the time Owen comes in surely he has to be realising he isn't in the position now to demand his high wages I have mixed emotions I think he could be a handy squad player who could net a few in cup games but I think Saha would've been better for that

AussieBlue

Righto Ed this is getting weird, not sure why anyone else would use the name if theyre just making general comment/questions but someone seems to be doing so!

The Real AussieBlue {Ed001's Note - best thing to do, is to put an identifier in the email address field, doesn't necessarily have to be your email address, just something to identify it is you. Then, any posts signed Aussieblue that don't have it will be deleted.}

Sorry for the causing the confusion I didn't realise there was already someone using AussieBlue So I will use scouse before aussieBlue

Our neighbours really are a laughing stock. But what cheek they have in asking various clubs permission to speak to their managers. Usually if a club approaches another, then that manager will always sign.

Well done to Rodgers for sticking two fingers up to their disrepectful attitude. lets hope they approach Mick Mccarthy or Steve Keane next and get KB'd again. Now that would be comical.

On the plus side we have released 6 players early so need to recruit early. Earlier than the last day of the window!. CzechsHand. {Ed024's Note - Steve kean is too good for liverpool

I'm blue but just sum up most of the evertonisns small minded ways! Just cos the RS approached various mangers and got knocked back doesn't mean it's embarrassing it just shoes good business sense, which by all accounts is why they are there 'to manage a business' we have to look at the bigger picture these days and move on our insular little local attitude!
WHNC

I thought the attitude of the fawning local media was a disgrace like "how dare Rodgers say No!". Radio Merseyside in particular couldnt get over it they had to make up excuses and reasons, patronising b*****ds. {Ed025's Note - i have no problem with our guys giving the R/S stick...imagine if the shoe was on the other foot?...those vampires would be whooping it up big time, so my advice is....never give up the opportunity to kick them, while they are down!..

Ed24, you are a NOB, Steve Kean too good for Liverpool??

Your team had a great season because you finished above your nearest rivals who had their worst season for decades, what dire targets you have!

Without Moyes you would be up the swanny, he has been outstanding for years but again, his achievements are measured on finishing above LFC, no trophies to speak of.

Moyes will one day be offered a more high profile position with another club,and rightly so, this will prove to be a very testing time for your club and lets face it who would relish the chance to come to EFC with little or no money to spend, probably Steve Kean or the like who you say is too good for Liverpool. Your mockery will come back to bite you one day.

We will not give in until we are successful again unlike your own supporters who have given up all hope of the success you had in the 80's.

Here's to next season, see you there!

Big Bill LFC {Ed025's Note - you reap what you sow, big bill...we have been the butt of your vitriolic abuse for years, and now you are calling for a ceasefire!....on your bike!..

It's the arrogant asumption that any manager wants to drop everything just to come and manage liverpool no wonder you're so popular with other supporters {Ed025's Note - and now they want to play nice!...

We are not assuming every manager should drop what they are doing, we are merely trying to get the best manager for the job, or at least trying to get an idea of ho would be interested.

I am not calling for a ceasefire, I like the banter, I just couldn't let your comment go without reacting, nice one Ed 24

Still a NOB tho :)

Big Bill LFC {Ed025's Note - ed 24 is a nice guy bill....but im glad you realise that your in for a bumpy ride..

Well said ed 024, liverfool are a laughing stock now, have you noticed ed that lots of other teams hate liverpool now??

Ste EFC

Pep Guad, Mourinho, havin a laugh Koppite, Brendan Rogers blew you out, you will never win the league again, yet again yournew owners will sail you up the swanney and sell you off to someone again, Koppites think they deserve everything, welcome to the real World, oh yeh you are the nob

Everton have released six players after their contracts expired.

Players leaving include James McFadden and Marcus Hahnemann, both of whom arrived during the 2011/12 season on short-term deals.

McFadden made eight appearances during his second spell at the Club while Hahnemann was an unused sub on a number of occasions.

Those players are joined by a number of Everton youngsters who are also moving on having never made a first team appearance.

Goalkeepers Adam Davies and Connor Roberts, defender Aristote Nsiala and winger Femi Orenuga have been released.

In addition, Denis Stracqualursi and Royston Drenthe's loan spells will come to an end on June 30. Stracqualursi made 28 appearances and scored three goals while on loan from Tigre. Drenthe played 27 times and scored on four occasions during his loan from Real Madrid.

A number of scholars have also been let go, with Jordan Barrow, James Fitzgibbon, Ben Heneghan, Ryan Higgins and Adam Thomas all exiting.

I'd sooner have kept Hahnemann and got shot of Mucha - the guy's a clown! BlueTone {Ed025's Note - i agree with you mate, if anything happens to tim howard..then god help us!..

Hi Ed, What are the chances of young Hallam Hope getting some game time in the premier league next season? he looks a real talent from what i can see on youtube and in a few years he could develop into a brilliant partner to jelavic {Ed025's Note - a very talented kid, i would love to see him get a shot, but whether moyes sees it the same as me , idont know.....but suspect not..

He also won the academy player of the season so he must have some quality.

Fair enough then, he has put in good performances in the reserves and is scoring fairly often. Maybe a little bit overshadowed by Ross Barkley, could possibly be a secret weapon for us

why does everyone keep mentioning donovan? have i missed something?
i would love to buy him but my understanding is he doesn't want to leave usa
here are some players i wouldn't lose any sleep over if we used to raise money to

anichebe
velios
baxter
wallace
joa silva
coleman
gueye
mucha
hannerman

i have an open mind about rodwell, but if he stays this is a make or break season for him ( wella ) {Ed025's Note - i think you underestimate our young guns wella..

I think you are overestimating the squad size as well. If you cut loose that many players, we'd only be able to recruit 3 or 4 players with the funds raised. Then we'd have a really skeletal squad. {Ed025's Note - i agree mate..

He's not saying get rid of all them players he's saying he wouldn't care if any of them left the club

Agree about Rodwell wella. I'm 50/50 with him, if he was sold this summer for a decent fee i wouldn't be bothered.
If he stays then great, he does have potential, but this coming season is time to prove his potential after all he will be turning 22 soon

None of the players released were first team regulers so what difference does it make

take a look at the turmoil over the park.......
this all adds credance to BKs reluctance to sell to any old knob.
all you BK bashers please bear this in mind as I dont want our great club in the hands of some foreign investor who f**ks up all the good work DM and BK has done.ok we run at a £5m loss per year but thats buttons compared to others and compared to the asset rich 1st team sqaud we have and the young talent coming through eg barkley, green, garbutt etc.
all this will show when FIFA fair play comes into force next year and we will be in a reasonably stable position compared to alot of others.
please be careful what you wish for and have faith and patience in Bk he won't sell us short hes a fan like you and me.
as we speak Brendan rogers won't even talk to the sh**e, oh its great to be blue at the moment and long may it continue
just one more thing, why don't we go for danny simpson at Newcastle, he's decent, very quick and wont sign contract.hibbo isn't getting any younger.
bring on next season and long live the blues ( wella ) {Ed025's Note - good post that wella..

18 May 2012 11:34:00
this years business for me
naismith, piennar, and a new Rm

toffee haz {Ed025's Note - that would be nice haz..

I have come to a conclusion that Jarvis + Fletcher might be a little too much and we should focus are main money on piennar

I wouldn’t mind both park and owen,as long as Baines has nothing to do with the deal.

Ste EFC {Ed025's Note - park would be good..

Dont you rate Owen Ed? {Ed025's Note - i just think that his other interests outside football are a big distraction, he has seemed very content to sit on the bench for a long time, for me, if the passion was still there, he would have moved a long time ago..

18 May 2012 09:59:45
Sign a RB. This is the position of greatest need for us in my opinion. Neville and Hibbert are serviceable and their leadership and versatility would still be needed but they are on the downside of their career and if we added someone with pace and a better crossing ability our attack wouldn't be as tilted to the left side. {Ed025's Note - a RB would be good, but hardly a priority...for me, pienaar and partner for jelly is the priority..

Agree with Ed

everton are trying to fast-track joseph yobo's transfer away from goodison park for good for some important funds even though he is contracted till 2014. he is valued around £4m. no specific teams mentioned to whom is going to but they are either from germany,france or turkey.

ste {Ed024's Note - Yobo needs to go, he hasn't played for us for ages, if not i suspect he will be farmed out for another 12 months

18 May 2012 00:20:17
I think Everton may take a gamble on Owen, he's still a fantastic player when ON the pitch. Maybe a pay as you play deal, like we did with Saha?

Ste EFC

Ste he will not score goals for you mate when he is on the treatment table 24seven. No doubt about it he would be interested in signing for Everton but i reckon money will be better spent on someone a bit more hungry and not motivated by money. RED RUSS

Do u ever go the the RS page russ? always seem to be our page! u obsessed with us

joe bootle {Ed025's Note - russ is a football supporter joe, he talks a lot of sense, and presents an unbiased view on things, he is very welcome on this page..

I second that Ed
