Paul Konchesky to annoy Liverpool fans even more as news grows that he is goodison bound and will sign in July when he returns from holiday {Ed011's Note - He is not liked by anyone on merseyside after the comments made. He is also not good enough. I am sure he will go back to fulham or maybe to somewhere like sunderland. He is not good enough to get in the everton team

We have better quality players in our squad than konchesky and we will be aiming for a higher standard of player than him in the transfer market.

Good shout Ed. Another Kopite invading our wonderful site methinks {Ed011's Note - You may be right. I think they are bored with their mid table team and overpriced players, they seek amusement elsewhere. We can all laugh at andy carthorse carroll next season.

If he could get the form that he had at fulham back he would be a good signing

Paul Konchesky struggled at Fulham, no body was more surprised than him when he went to the Red lot across the park. He's not a premiership quality player so he is well suited to be at Anfield.

Villas-Boas doesnt want Malouda and would only be cheap due to age? saying that i would prefer Nzogbia but i might get slated for this but i think Gueye would do well if he started on the left all the time so really we only need to sell Yobo and Bily and buy Sturridge. Then the team could be:

Howard

Coleman, Jagielka, Heitinga, Baines

Arteta, Rodwell, Fellaini, Gueye

Beckford, Sturridge

I think this is a good shout, but i think Silva might be the one to watch next season looks a good prospect, i wouldn't drop Cahill he does a good job for us

I agree Cahill still influential so it just depends who we play and what formation but I agree Cahill and Neville = hard players to leave out

I agree with some of the players like: Sturridge, Coleman and Gueye but

Where are Cahill and Distin, I would prefer them instead of Rodwell and Heitinga.

I would have done:

Howard

Coleman Jagielka Distin Baines

Osman Arteta

Cahill Gueye

Beckford Sturridge

Howard
Neville / Jags / Distin / Baines
Gueye / Fellaini / Rodwell-Heit / Arteta
Beckford plus a.n.other

Heitinga is a much better CB than Distin he just never plays there which is why he wants to leave, don't get me wrong Distin was quality last season but Heitinga doesn't like playing CDM

Heitinga mucks about with the ball, distin is faster, stronger and more passionate about english football than johnny, amazing bench player dont get me wrong, and could cut it at many top clubs (including them across the park) but not at everton unfortuately, good luck to the lad wherever he goes/stays

Everywhere I look it's mad busy in the transfer Market , Sunderland look like there getting wickham & Gardner , I read that Stoke were putting in a £13 mill request for someone, it's incredible how yet again nothing from the blues , everyday I get myself worked up hoping to hear some news but nothing I know we don't have a lot of cash to throw about but for gods sake we must be able to compete with the likes of Stoke & sunderland ? Bill get your finger out and your cheque book or do one, your pissing me off no end Help us out ed, give us blues something to cling to

Personally all i think we need to bring in this summer is really cover players. i think our team will most likely look pretty much the same.
Everton team next season?
Howard
Coleman Jags Distan Baines
Gueye Rodwell Fellaini Arteta(c)
Cahill
Beckford

And to be honest i cant think this team would do to badly, and would get more goals because Arteta and Gueye cutting inside onto there stonger feet, and coleman and baines getting ball in the box from out wide. what do you think Ed? {Ed011's Note - We have a good squad in place, we just need to add more quality in attacking areas if we want success next season, i like your side, i just think n'zogbia would give us more options with maybe long brought in as well

Howard
Neville - Jags - Distin - Baines
Cahill - Osman - Fellaini
Coleman - Defoe - N'Zogbia

433?

A very attacking team, needs rodwell or fellaini in the middle instead of osman

Would be nice, i would like to see moyes try with 5 at the back and using coleman and baines as wingbacks

I would have done:

Howard
Coleman-Neville-Jagielka-Distin-Baines
Gueye - Cahill - Osman - Arteta
Beckford

Yobo off in a day and Long to be everton player by next week.

Yobo Off to Turkey which would give us the 3.5-4M needed upfront for nzogbia. If we sell Rodwell for 22M then we could bring in Defoe or Robbie Keane.

Personally I would say Arteta could go and let Fellini, Osman and Cahill run the middle of the park

I think we will be more likely to play Fellaini and Rodwell in the middle of the park, could explain why moyes was playing with 2 holding players for the last few games of last season

Guys I think that we should not panic about the transfer funds we have because I know we got little fund, but we should be excited about the academy players because I've heard lots about Hallam Hope, John Lundstrum, Ross Barkley, Adam Forshaw, Conor McAleny, James Wallace, and Joao Silva. I think these players would eventually become great players if we give them a chance. COYB

P.S. This team won the premierleague academy title :)

I have seen most of the youth players playing and maybe Hope, Barkley and Silva could make it.

P.S They didn't Wallace, Silva and Forshaw weren't in the squad but we have good prospects like Hope, Barkley and Browning

A few people on here are saying their scared Jags will be off to Arsenal in the summer personally i dont think he will leave us, but if he does go i wouldnt hate him like i do with Pienaar and Lescott because i know he wouldnt be leaving for the money like pienaar going to play and i quote "sexy football" well i hope he enjoys playing that sexy football with Kranjcar ON THE BENCH plus we bought Jags for 4m and to get 20m would be great for a 29 year old CB plus we could get a replacement with that money i wouldnt say it would be easy but the names i think of is Shawcross, Dann(doubtful cz hes a s***e supporter), R.Johnson. But like i said personally i dont think he will leave.

any other blues think getting Manuel Fernandes back would be good? hes gt creativity, skill and hes not slow = exactly what we need

I wouldnt mind seeing manny fernandes back, he looked a class act when he was here and would be exactly what our midfield needs. Although I haven't seen him play since he left us so could be useless these days.

I doubt he would be useless cz he was a quality player but i could be wrong but another good thing about him is he is still only 25.

Definately agree with that. he was a top player at his time with us. was a shame he got an injury though. would be more than happy to see him back

Manuel Fernandes would certainly bring extra quality to our midfield, we have also been linked recently with Stefan Defour (again), I personally would be made-up if we could somehow get either one

Good shout I liked fernandes Bit of quality to his game and he seemd to of fitted in to our team
