Jo scored for brazil

So what?

Agree0 Disagree0

So did Neymar, what's your point?

Mike

Good for him. Still terrible, but at least he's getting a go for brazil

he came on for the last 5 mins and scored a tap in from 6 yards out.

I really don't think there is any need to rush any signings we have some very good kids coming through, may be 2 or 3 new players, then pushing the likes of Barkley, Duffy, Lundstram, kennedy and Mcaleny. Must watch under 19s world cup, England starting sunday 7. 00pm euro sport, where we have 5 players in the squad. KK.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Under 20's world cup it is not under 19's

Sorry a senior moment.

Duffy is irish

Everyone doesn't want kone cause he is too old and would prefer almeida. There the same age!

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Don't want kone or almedia

Agree0 Disagree0

Yes they would prefer, that's totally different to wanting

Agree0 Disagree0

There both not everton quality anyway. We forget we are pushing for champions league not settling for 6th we need signings like soldado once every season or so to give us that boost

Agree0 Disagree0

Lewblakey, Are you serious?.

6th is as good as it gets without a wardrobe full of money, hence 18 barron years. As for Kone, you obviously didn't see the way bullied Distin and Heitinga in all three games last season then?

Agree0 Disagree0

Ed what formation do you think we will play under Martinez I know a lot of people expecting us to play 3-5-2 and I have wanted this system for years even since we had lescott. Some have suggested 4-3-3 the reason I doubt we will play 3-5-2 is that we have got a settled back four which is solid, it would disrupt baines & Pienarr partnership it would be a bold move by Roberto to change to 3 at the back and I think it will dictate what players we bring in. We would need cover for RWB if Coleman was injured we would need more cover at CB along with the other positions we need GK (backup), CM, ST. {Ed025's Note - i see 4-3-3 as the favourite robbie

Believable0 Unbelievable0

If that's the case Ed I think we need a couple more attacking wide players like Mirrallas like Nani or I like Giovanni Dos Santos. Can Honda play out wide don't know that much about him or maybe Naismith might be better in a more advanced role. the 3 in midfield would be Gibson, Fellaini? and one other not sure if Osman or Piennar would fit into the system I prefer Pienarr out wide but don't think as a wide attacking striker and I think Osman can look lightweight and slow if we get outnumbered in midfield. It will be interesting if RM sticks with Jelavic if he does he needs to say you are my main striker and supply him no point in buying someone else and Jelavic being on the bench because he is a confidence player. But hey ho its all about systems and that's up to Roberto to decide whatever he does In Martinez we trust. {Ed025's Note - we have to trust him robbie..

Agree0 Disagree0

Don't think Martinez will be brave enough to come in and try to change too much too soon. Think it's more likely for him to slowly make changes to the style of play and the formations we use. Should be very interesting how he lines up the teams in the pre season tour in the states it'll certainly give us all a better idea of what he might plan to do anyway {Ed025's Note - and i cant wait andy..

Agree0 Disagree0

Well need at least 5 first team cb's to play 352. lose one or two to injury or suspention and we're screwed. right now we only have 2 cb's. i'd hate to see heitinga play every game

Agree0 Disagree0

I think it will be a case of evolution rather than revolution. I'm sure that if all our supporters show a little patience that we will reap the rewards that greater positivity in our play will surely bring.

Shropshire Blue.

Agree0 Disagree0

If we play 352 heitinga out Douglas and alcaraz in

i am very excited about next season we have a new manger problem a new formation instead of 4-4-1-1 also I think that if we add a couple of player than top 4 here we come imwt

If you have a rumour that's realistic great, if you want to make something up, then please at least make it funny, really am getting fed up with stupid postings regarding players you know of only through playing FIFA
Blue. g.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Mcgeady will sign for Everton I was told this 3 days ago and now an irish station confirmed that we are considering a 4.5 mill euro bid for him the player himself is very keen on a move to Everton I posted this earlier on but it was not put up for some reason but i'm 80 percent sure he will be one of our signings.

Agree0 Disagree0

3m quid ain't bad for mcgeady he can be unplayable
Quinny

No thanks, duffy to play at the back with jags and distin

Hey Ed any idea why the Derby is always at goodison first? There a got to be a reason? {Ed025's Note - i dont know mate..

Believable0 Unbelievable0

There's an agreement in place between the 2 clubs and the PL but I'm not sure the exact reason.

Agree0 Disagree0

As far as I'm aware there is an agreement with both clubs that the goodison derby will be first. The reasons for I don't know possibly a financial one as we (Everton) would need the funds that the derby provides more than Liverpool

Agree0 Disagree0

It used to always be at anfield, rumours are the club ask for it this way

Agree0 Disagree0

19 Jun 2013 07:38:06
Ed, you heard anything on Phil Neville. Do you reckon he would come back to us as martinez's number 2? {Ed025's Note - he will be a No2, if not us, then united i think..

Why do people think we can still be interested in FER if he failed a medical, don't see how he's changed his knee?

MikeDeBlue

Believable0 Unbelievable0

By playing injury free since january

Agree0 Disagree0

As I understand it, mainly from posters on this site, the knee, or rather a 'failed medical' wasn't the reason the deal didn't go through. It was more to do with the financial element, although I stand to be corrected if any learned Eds can assist? Notwithstanding that, Fer was a Moyes target and similarly with Honda, RM may not share the desire to bring him to the club. {Ed025's Note - the fer deal was dependent on a sale i think tone, but i still see both him and honda as legitimate targets mate..

Agree0 Disagree0

DO one mike you whopper you don't no the ins an outs the lad have played 99% of games since the failed fitness test.

Agree0 Disagree0

I can see it may be dependant on a sale (fellaini springs to mind, but maybe even Heitinga?) but it seems odd to me for the club to publish "Fer Deal Agreed" on the official website if the sale was dependant on another.

Agree0 Disagree0

Both FC and Everton at the time said it was to do with money up front. We wanted to pay less in bulk and have the remainder based on appearances due to his knee. They wanted what was originally agreed.

I think his stock will have gone up now though.

Agree0 Disagree0

19 Jun 2013 14:06:17
What do people think about all the transfer activity at Liverpool? A load of dubious names being linked, I reckon. Any day now some former Liverpool player will say "It'll take time for all the new signings to bed in" and BR will be odds on for the sack when the season starts shakily.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

From what I've seen (only in the CL) and read (from people like Jonathan Wilson) Mkhitaryan is a fantastic player. I myself don't rate Mignolet or Toure and I think Suarez is better than Sturridge+Aspas so I'm pleased with that. Not too worried if we can spend but we need to strengthen

Agree0 Disagree0

19 Jun 2013 15:32:03
There is a Liverpool page, go and ask on there.

Mike

I wonder when Martinez said he was looking for the right "characters" & "personalities" to join our team whether he's thinking about players that are stronger mentally & players that won't bottle it away from home in games like man united & important cup games whether it be in Europe or fa cup semi finals etc. he may well of identified a weakness already as moyes record against the top four was nothing less than abysmal & we bottled it against Wigan & Liverpool in the cup semis & similarly when we played European qualifiers.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Wigans away record against these bigger teams were a lot better than ours

Agree0 Disagree0

19 Jun 2013 12:53:13
won't be signing anyone until Martinez meets up with the full squad and assesses what reserve team players he deems ready for the first team squad and who can be replaced/sold

what are the odds on us getting Yohan kebab ;)

Believable0 Unbelievable0

About as good as Ben Afri

Agree0 Disagree0

More likely to get Mia Kebab - tomorrow night!

Agree0 Disagree0

What about Amanobi? What a plank that man is, and then he has the audacity to claim he's more intelligent than the supporters. Words almost fail me. The level of ignorance is unbelievable. I see it as a ploy to get the other plank pardew to walk.

Agree0 Disagree0

Joe Kanerie said he won't let him go and is looking to bring in a striker, maybe Nikelodeon Jellyvic or Dimitar Bergertoffee

Agree0 Disagree0

He's only been brought to hasten the departure of Pardew so they don't have to pay up an 8year contract. Pardew will resign soon. Once this happens Kinnear will go due to health reasons and will Kop a nice pay day for the privilege

Agree0 Disagree0

Chelsea L 1-0
West Ham w 2-1

first five games

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Id be happy with 3 wins out of 5 to start with from those games. Norwich for me is the key game as we need to start well.

Agree0 Disagree0

Post them again closer to the start. It'll be interesting to see what your guesses turn out like.

Agree0 Disagree0

Last meeting to Chelsea. I think we didn't lose if we had better striker. So up to RM. to resolve this problem.

The new fixture list has been released and what a run in. If we are in with a shout come the end of the season we have three of the big boys at home in the last six matches with three away games we should win. This could be our season! COYB

SA90

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Dream on mate. Its not going to be easy for RM to make a big impact in his first season. Our squad was not big enough last season and we are already 3 players down for this. we need at least 6 in my opinion.

Agree0 Disagree0

Probably in with a shout of Europe
We need a:
GK back up
CB back up (if heitinga goes)
CM back up/first XI
AM first XI
LW back up/first XI
ST first XI
Quinny

Agree0 Disagree0

Assuming Martínez is playing 3 at the back, who do you suggest partners Jags and Distin?

Agree0 Disagree0

Deffo not hettinga it would be like playing with 2 still with that useless cu:t

I see we're being left behind again! Atsu being linked across the park, another young promising prospect who has slipped away

Rich84

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Were we ever seriously linked with him when Pereria wasn't linked with us?

Agree0 Disagree0

We've been linked since January and has anyone seen him play or is just because he's fast on FIFA
Quinny

Agree0 Disagree0

OMG calm down. There are over two months of the transfer window open. Why rush into it?

It has to be the right player at the right price. Plus we're in a bit of a pickle as we need to know what afro is going to do. Is he staying or going. If he goes then our priorities change.

We have the same team as last year that finished 6th so no need to panic.

Agree0 Disagree0

Devastated to lose that 3m player must be clearly quality, rated highly on fifa just not in real life

Agree0 Disagree0

18 Jun 2013 23:26:02
Ed, How is this to work with DM not assuming his new management job until 01 July 2013 and our new manager not in sole command until the like same date. Who has the authority to sign without letting the other know what's in the bag? My guess then is that significant new signings will be post 01 July 2013. {Ed025's Note - they are both in their new jobs now, forget the 1st of july nonsense..

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Well said ed this 1st of july stuff is so stupid the only thing pending is the support staff coaches etc from everton wigan and man u big merry go round this will be. tp.

Agree0 Disagree0

18 Jun 2013 23:28:10
I think we should try vellios up top with a striker like soldado or defoe.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Then what are we going to do put the under 9's as the defence

18 Jun 2013 23:22:50
The signings we make will probably be ones which haven't been mentioned, maybe 1 or 2 will but there will be some unexpected ones

I doubt that mate you personally have mentioned half of Europe
