I know Heitinga had a poor season but he did win player of the season two seasons ago is it worth selling him or giving him a run under Martinez?

Heitnga has been a major disappointment too much of a liability-get rid while he still has some sale value

No, one year left and does not want to re sign, sell now and get something back on him.

It is too late for him to win over the Boo Boys at Goodison now,
if they want someone out, then they will get there way.

Is right Andy Chef. When he goes they will turn their attention to someone else and it'll probably be Anichebe or Naismith.

It's a shame, because he used to be a favourite of mine, but Johnny has been moaning to whoever will listen for about a year now, about being unhappy at the club. He's practically held up a 'sign me up' banner to Fenerbahce and would quite literally bite someone's hand off to go back to Ajax. He Didn't just have a bad season, but just looked like he'd stopped caring during games. Even in the eyes of a new manager, this is bad form for a player. Although he has had his moments, l fondly remember his 'welcome back' tackle after Saha first came on for Tottenham at Goodison, I think it's time to let Johnny go.

If Jelavic is with us in the coming season I think he could be like a new signing under Martinez. Remember what he was like when he first arrived. Right place right time, one touch finishes and bags of passion. What a player he was. Then. Moyes got hold of him. Next thing we know, he's never in the right place at the right time because he's tracking back or playing wide. He can't have one touch finishes because he's miles away from goal. His passion disappeared because he's being starved of doing what he does best.

If Martinez let's him play the role he's best at he'll bang em in for fun. Can't wait!

Alot of talk of jelavic attracting interest from hamburg, I would like him to stay I think he is suited to the way Martinez likes to play, moyes had him running all over the place and knocked the confidence right out of him, I think given a chance in the new system he will thrive!

Hi guys, just seen on an Everton fan page on FB, that the Hamburg director has confirmed they want to take Jelavic. Not sure if I can see this, but thought I'd give it a quick share

Something not working for him at everton so maybe right time for a change if price is good enough

Think Jelavic will stay, natural finisher needing a fresh start! Will thrive under Martinez.

We have apparently submitted a 1 million euro bid on friday for a very promising young Ivory Coast centre back who plays in the French league for Le Mans & his name is kone, so we could have 2 kone's in the squad next season if press reports are to be believed.

What's with all these centre back bids? Surely we're well covered there at the minute.

Just thought I'd point out to the negatives who whinge about buying players from a club just relegated. What about jagielka? And distin? hmmm two of our better performing players in the past few seasons, bought from relegated teams. I admit kone wouldn't have been my 1st choice but he performed well in a sinking ship. So let's have a little more positivity lads!

I really wish that Baines & Fellaini and all our other players who wear the Blue Shirt of Everton would realise and accept how fortunate they are in the lifestyle they are living thanks to all us supporters. David Moyes, respect him as I did, used to say that he wouldn't trade any of his players at Everton and he thought we were only a "couple of signings away from being a Top 4 team". so apart from him leaving. what's changed? Moyes is now stating he is working with some world class players. the same as he was here at Everton? So to Leighton Baines & Marouanne Fellaini I would just like to say. to all the Everton Fans, you are "the best players in the world"! You are playing for a great Club, so why not stay here and achieve your ambitions to win trophies with Everton. why not. we have beaten the top 4 sides over the last few seasons, so stay where you are worshipped by the fans, play every game and help Martinez build a side to challenge for honours once again, like this great club used to do. Manchester United have had their era, football works that way. who's to say it's not Everton's turn?

Good speech SEB, I like it.

That's a really good post SEB. I would like the same too, whether or not it turns out that way I think it's fair to say that we are all getting very excited for the season ahead.

Keep the faith mate
