Looking at some players in our squad especially the young lads and with the addition of fresh faces in the summer we could have great squad.
Young players 23 and under;
Fellaini, Coleman, Rodwell, Barkley, Duffy, Gueye, Anichebe, Green, Junior, Bidwell, Garbutt, Vellios, Baxter,
Experience;
Howard, Distin, Hibbert, Neville, Osman, Cahill
Other's;
Heitinga, Jagielka, Baines, Gibson, Pienaar, Jelavic
Signings;
(Pienaar), Dempsey? Pranjic? Jarvis? Rodellaga/Doyle?
Don't know if we will make 5 signings unless we sell but i see Moyes for sure signing Pienaar and Pranjic and maybe Dempsey.
With the experienced players and our key players with the emergence of the young lads we will have a squad MORE than capable of getting back to where we were 3 seasons ago and back into the top6/top5.
Really hope to see more of Barkley and Duffy next season and for all the flack Rodwell and Coleman seem to be getting on this site i think we should give them more time, Coleman was outstanding last season but has found it difficult this season maybe the rigors of the EPL caught up with him and he did pick up 2 bad injuries, people forget he came from the irish league which is near enough amature!
Rodwell i believe if he gets over his injury problems and starts to take games by the scruff of the neck and command the ball and look to dominate games instead of ball watching and playing it safe can become a very accomplished player, he is still only 20.
COYB
Please Bill, don't let us down like the last 2 seasons make funds available and we will finish top 6 and finally bring some silverware home!!

if the rumours are true this is the line up id like to see next season
howrad
coleman jags heitinga baines
JARVIS rodwell felli cahill PIENARR
jevlavic
only two signings but doubt well get dempsey think his asking price will be two much and donovan i wouldnt expect a permanent deal or him to be allowed out on loan in summer as mls season is still on, also wouldnt expect us to have much more than 7-9 mill so wouldnt expect any big/small attacking signings to support jelli but i still think we have a team that can challenge for europe if we get off to a better start

Coleman!? tut
when will people start to realise that coleman just isn't very good?
Agree0

Rodwell? I'd give him away just to cut the wage / treatment bill!
We should have snatched Uniteds hands of when they offered 25 a couple of seasons ago, then they'd have another donkey like they did with Hargreaves.

Does anyone know how much Zabaleta would cost? He may be out of our price range by I think he would solve our RB problems if BK can cough up the cash.

Everton could make a move for Burnleys Jay Rodriguez, he doesn't want to move out of the north west and would cost around 5m, decent player with plenty of potential but not sure Moyes would risk 5m on a championship player... {Ed003's Note - Good shout}

Good news in my opinion that Woy is looking likely to be England manager as it increases the chance of us getting Pienaar in the summer as Harry will presumably stay at Spurs and he is obviously out of favour with him but a new manager may have wanted to use Pienaar in his plans. {Ed025's Note - thats true..

I think the rumours of jelavic to real Madrid are BS, why would he leave a club he has just joined..........
TC {Ed025's Note - i agree tc...probably R/S infiltrators looking to rock the boat mate...but nothing is going to stop the good ship everton..
Believable1

He will be getting linked with loads of top teams now TC cos he is a scoring machine, a nice wage increase should sort that out for him and also he is on a 5 year contract so no probs there.
Let's just ride the jellytrain for as long as it lasts, if we get a great start next season and Europe then why would he want to go anywhere.

Afternoon Fellow Blues and Eds,
From a colleague at work who's partner works as an editor at a local media company, Pienaar looks likely to be a 12 month loan deal, which saves a fee and takes another 12 months off his contract and leaves money available to go elsewhere. If it's true, it's good business IMO, only downside is he can't play against spurs, which is no biggie.
Also Happy Birthday Degs

I reckon that this sort of deal for Piennaar would benefit Everton most. With money bein tight at the moment it would possibly free up funds for other players to come in and even though Piennaar is a class act (in my opinion) we have no long term commitment to a player that is over the age of 30.

Hi Ed's
Just an idea, could we post our Facebook/Twitter names on here so we could all add each other, then we will have an idea of who we are talking too. I know you don't like other sites mentioned etc but none of us are gonna leave this site ever.
Also any update on my other great idea of getting people to register and log in, this will give everybody a name with a teams initials after it and make it more personal and also we can see who the nuggets are, and the Koppites, or is that mostly one and the same, except you Russ lol
Degsy {Ed025's Note - the powers that be, said that a lot of information that we get comes from people within the clubs, and may jeopardise their jobs, if it was deemed that they were sharing confidential information.....sorry mate..

Just wondered how the "meaningful discussions " were going with regard to takeover - how utterly patronising was that comment given the circumstances and unrest at that time, now all's going well -silence !

That's the way it goes mate, if we are playing well with a good team we are happy, if we are not playing well and need a new player then we are unhappy.
I think investment is getting closer and Bill may stretch the purse strings a bit this year and for gods sake lets get the players in at the start of the transfer window and not two weeks after the league has started.
Degsy {Ed025's Note - i feel the same mate..

It's no coincidence that we started the season excellently when we had all our transfer business done before pre season basically and had no real issues at the club regarding players leaving or such like, in 2006/2007. We need to do the same this summer.

So the FA are only approaching Woy Hodgson, not entirely excited by that as an England fan! But that does mean Spuds won't be in for Moyes which is good news for us!
Now Bill it's time for you to put up or sell on in the best interests of all at Everton. We can be in a driving seat for CL this time next year like the Toon if things get moving this summer!

What a fantastic run were having! 4 goals in the last 3 prem games and all against very good teams, Sunderland and fulham were only a couple of points behind us, and utd needed the win to all but guarantee the title! 3 games left and even though there's no hope of Europe I would like us to look at these games as must wins! Finish the season on a high and as a bonus finish above the red s**te! All that money they spent and they are chasing us for 7th spot! It's funny! Anyway stoke next and as we know they are a very phyiscal side so my team would be.

Right guys and girls it's easy for next season, as follows:
BK gonna let us have 20 million.
Not selling anyone at all, not even Felli for 30 millin, get real guys he is awesome and gettin better, Barkley to Chelsea - Do one you rich Southern nobs we are not gettin rid of our prize assett for any price
Buying Peanuts, Dempsey, decent RB and if the gods are lookin down on us Landon the legend.
Stracq bye bye mate too expensive if the quote of 5 million is correct, thanks for everything
Drenthe - Not for us kidder, loved the good bits but the bad bits are simply not the Blue way
Hodgson for England - Don't care who manages England as we would be crap with Mourinho or Guardiola, just keep Hawwy away cos I don't want Moyesee to go to Spurs
This is how easy it really is
Simples top four easy

Haha, Kenwright is gonna give us 20mil. Clearly dreaming LOL.
Fact is, we need new faces, we saw what new faces gave to the squad in January, and i think that is the missing link, as generally our summers are absolutely shocking.
If Kenwright can't find cash (which he won't) we need to sell, be it Rodwell or Jagielka, we need to buy PIenaar no brainer, and then look at the likes of Dempsey, Holtby and I wonder how much Clyne from Palace would be going for, and possibly some freebies.
All I know, is that we need new signings in the summer, and we need to get the deals done BEFORE the season starts. I really do think that is the reason behind our sloppy starts. {Ed025's Note - i think your right mate..

If Stoke get to spend 20 million with their crowds and fan base then I am sure you can give us the same

Had a hard weekend on the lash Ed, big 40, I think that's why I am dreaming with the 20 million segment of my post, still hung over

Oh yeh Toffee - never in a million years will we get 20 million for Rodders
Degsy {Ed025's Note - your right mate..

Well Pienaar has told Moyes he wants to stay. I just hope he doesn't get held to ransom by Spurs because they know how much we want him. Bill needs to get the money for this one or the mood in the dressing room will change yet again and will contribute to another bad start. Same thing happened when Moyes delayed signing his contract and another was with the sale of Lescott if I remember rightly. We could do without these distractions...
We need to get the politics out of the way early and concentrate on the pre-season as quickly as possible.
Wizard of Osman {Ed025's Note - as ever, wise words wiz...when the dressing room is happy, it really shows on the pitch..
Agree0
Disagree0
No chance of Bill giving Moyes 20 million mate! Unless we sold someone it's just the harsh reality of being a Everton fan at the moment!
I think IF funds are available it will be through selling somebody!
Nice dreaming though degsy!
PaulEFC {Ed025's Note - a cocktail of booze and hope do not mix paul!.. we need to get rid of a few fringe players to fund any buys..

Moyes proved in January he can work wonders with 6 million, whatever he gets he will spend it wisely and improve our squad for next season

i don't think any of the current team will be looking to leave - they know we're nearly there - just a couple more decent signings and we could be serious contenders for champs league spots - please bill buy donovan - seal down pienaar and get the second link forward on board (dempsey?) - then watch us go - I'd fancy us against anyone with that team! {Ed025's Note - that would work for me mate..
