Does anyone like this (realistic) team, i would be happy with it.

Howard

Naughton Jagielka Heitinga Baines

Donovan Fellaini Gibson Pienaar

Jelavic Doyle (people don't like him on here but i think he would be a perfect partner for Jelavic) {Ed025's Note - i like that side mate...except for the doyle shout, of course..

Doyle has lost all confidence so is a definte no. Like the team otherwise but swap Doyle for Dempsey and Champions League is a real possiblity

Dero Irish Blue.

Like it all mate except Doyle, just don't think he is anywhere near good enough for us, would love the rest though. Personally I would like Rodallega with Jelly

Degsy

Yes i see what your all saying about Doyle that's why i wrote my reason. For me he's not prolific but when i watch him although he would consider himself a "centre forward" i think he would be a great player to play with Jelavic, he works his bollox off scraps and chases and his creative game is very under rated, he creats a lot of chances for the team he is vert unselfish, i think it would work well leaving Jelavic to fly toward 20+goals.
Just opinions, appreciate your views and better than usual, some people on here are very nasty when you post a opinion.

Forgot to add that i also would love Dempsey here but i think there will be a lot of clubs after him and we may miss out

I think for the price of Doyle (Wolves would want 5/6mil) we could get someone like Dempsey or Holtby for a similar price as they are in the last year of their contract

ed do you know of any interest for Karim Ansarifard? heard he is a great prospect and can be cheap.
Blue kaz {Ed025's Note - dont know about cheap kaz?...dortmund are after him amongst others, he looks a great prospect..

Bin a longtime since we have had a striker like jelavic at the club. Looks clinical in front of goal...I just hope he doesn't go down the same road as James Beatie , Andy Johnson .etc. 1 decent season and that's it.

EFC {Ed025's Note - this guy is the real deal mate...and you can take that to the bank!!

Think Jelavic is different class. {Ed025's Note - and your right..

Ed0025 i remember you mentioning Jelavic a long time ago on here!
Saying how much you rate him and he would be suited at Everton!
Bet your over the moon we have him now! {Ed025's Note - i wanted him a long time ago mate, you see a player and you think..."he fits the bill"..im just glad we got him, and to be fair moyes and kenwright deserve a lot of credit for making it happen..

We're such a better team with pineaar, have to work out a deal with Tottenham to either get him back on loan again or buy him.

Am i the only one who fears that pienarr is not a forgone conclusion {Ed025's Note - no your not mate..

Win at the weekend and I am pretty sure the lowest we'll finish is 8th. They'll take some beating though but we always beat them at Goodison. Really hope to see Barkley from the bench. Got a feeling that'll only happen if we're a couple of goals up though.

Bez the blue {Ed025's Note - after the way we started, 8th would be a great achievement !....throw in a wembley semi...and all in all not a bad season at all..

25 Apr 2012 20:23:18
we need a strong forward who can support Jelavic and chip in with goals (Steven Fletcher) and a right winger with a good cross (Donovan) as well as securing Pienaar on a permanent. {Ed025's Note - i dont know if fletcher is the answer mate...but what do i know, i thought gibbo was a bad buy i cant open my eyes now!...with all the egg on my face..

If we DO sign Hoilett we would have 2 of FIFA's Official "13 (young) players to watch in 2012"...

Also forgot to add that Tottenhams last four games are Bolton, Blackburn and Villa all fighting relagation then Fulham last day, they could lose all these matches.... {Ed024's Note - We'll see

Have it on good authority that Moyse is going to work with SAF next season and will take the reins at MUFC following season
We are looking at a double act of Roberto Martinez & Robert Di Matteo once Harry Redknapp goes to Chelsea - Roy Hodgson to England and Brendan Rodgers to Spurs and Gus Poyet off to Swansea...the merry go round continues... {Ed024's Note - Moyes won't leave in my opinion, he is a very loyal manager who wants to finish the job at goodison

One word RUBBISH i said yesterday Moyes is in discussion over money for transfer targets everyone know fergie aint quitting for two more years dont wast time on rubbish speculation

How would one person, some random, know the inner sanctums of 6 or so clubs and the national team?

Complete garbage, there would never be this sort of merry go round, surely there would be candidates from all the other leagues involved.

Think someone is a bit bored at work today

Smell red s**te

Farfan, Pranjic,these two would be out of contract in summer and read this.
Lewis Holtby's father, Chris Holtby, is a former English soldier from Liverpool who was stationed at the Rheindahlen RAF base in Mönchengladbach.[13] Holtby's mother is German. Lewis, like his father is a fan of Everton F.C. and has said it would be a dream come true to play for them.

Lewis said: "My father was born in England and was a Everton fan since the age of five. He immediately infected me with the Everton! Since then I have been a Everton fan and have always followed their games. ed your thoughts

toffee haz {Ed024's Note - I would love pranjic as he is quality and lewis is a very good player who would jump at the chance to come to goodison, so if the funds can be released i say sign them both

Where have you been for the last 2 years? Everyone knows that Lewis is an Everton fan.

I was posting so people can understand a realistic player we could afford!

toffee haz

Holtby would be a class addition, but I don't know where we would get 5/6mil to sign him, unless we sell someone (jags).

We can't afford him haz, he is Schalke's number 10 and is valued highly over there, would cost upwards of £10m imo {Ed025's Note - i think your right mate..

He only has 12 months left on his contract so i think we would be able to afford him

Bez the blue {Ed025's Note - i dont see us doing much business bez..the priority for me is pienaar, and maybe a free...pranjic would do..

I have been talking to a bayern fan who claims pranjic is the real deal, he can can play at cm, lb and lw, he is equally competent in all of the positions and rates him very highly, i hope moyes resurrects the deal

Bez the blue

Would love to see Pranjic at Everton, think as a freebie, would add both quality and depth to our squad, we are lacking in left sided cover for both fullback and winger and he could do both, not to mention, I still think he is a decent player.

I am hoping he still wants to come to Everton, seemed really upset with the move breaking down on deadline day, so hopefully he is still interested.

He has been frozen out at bayern and would be desperate to sign for us, he is just what we need.

Ed. If we get Dempsey, is it likely when Donovans contract ends he will come back to Everton. And if he does do you think with 3 Superstar Americans in our side we could get heaps more sponsorship dollars and maybe a takeover. One last thing. Watching Phil Neville on the weekend and plenty of people bag him, but I think he should be the next Everton Manager with Alan Irvine by his side. What do you think? {Ed025's Note - having 3 americans would certainly do no harm in the sponsorship stakes mate...and im a big fan of phil, but as a first managerial post...its a no from me, far too much pressure, he needs to start at a lower level..

24 Apr 2012 22:16:16
free agents that we could buy:
Ederson
Tranquillo Barnetta
Jefferson Farfan
Ed do you rate any of these players + do you think we coul get them?
Blue kaz {Ed025's Note - the only one i know of them kaz...is farfan, and his wages would be too much mate..
