NOT so wrong was I? tp. {Ed025's Note - about what mate?..

Regarding no money no transfers its all smokiing mirrors but everybody here called me a pessimist no its obvious efcs transfer window use was a shambles. most of the blues on here are very clued in and entertaining but there is a lot of deluded blues who actually thought we were going to buy someone decent we all wasted a month of our lives in hope and the love of efc tp. {Ed025's Note - we had the money tp..no doubt about that...the biggest disappointment for me, is conspiracy theorists like yourself, who try to undermine the club with sly digs..

Lewis holtby made an impact at spurs, Sturridge has given lpool a major boost, arsenal have improved with a Spanish international left back, Chelsea sign ba, no ones undermining anyone pointing out major flaws in how we do transfer business, squad needed boosting, not signing a player when out of all the teams chasing fourth place are s was the greatest need is simply not good enough and has hampered are chances big time, stop defending a totally inept policy of doing transfers, complete joke

Oh TP life is so hard mate, poor little old TP, didn't get his players he wanted, BK was lying, Moyes was in on it too, we are in such a bad situation, god man shut up moaning you miserable git.

This time last year and the year before and the year before we were near the bottom with worse players, we have a cracking core of a team with some great prospects to come through and always finish well.

Picture this, go back to the start of the season before any matches have been played, I am going to offer you a deal as follows

The chance to be 5th in the prem at the end of Jan with some great creative players and to keep Felli and Bainesee

Are you going to take this offer or not, things are not as sad as you make out mate

Degs

Fair enough degs but I was still right about that transfer policy and thanks for your kind comments ed tp. {Ed025's Note - your welcome mate..

R you kenwrights chauffeur, the board again fail and again people put up with it. be happy with fifth or sixth, then. I like a lot of blues want champions league, if you don't have high standards expect to lose Baines and Felliani and moyes it's about time you started looking at the shirt crest when you defend half wits who run the club

04 Feb 2013 21:55:57
I wanted a couple of players in too mate but it wasnt to be, at least we know we have money to spend in the summer, hopefully.

We need to get behind the boys and Moyes, it would be a nightmare if he left us, I think he needs to sign his contract asp though because it will be unsettling for the team.

We have got another cracking striker too now called Victor Anichebe, hopefully he can push on now and show us what he is capable of, Uniteds defence will have a nightmare with his power, i'm betting on four all again

Sorry poster slamming me who is anonymous, not taking you on mate because you are clearly on the wrong pages, kkkkkkkoppite

Degs

We will get behind the team, but can't blame fans for bein cynical about transfer business and are approach to it. its affected us on Saturday you can't tell me your as confident now as at the start of jan. will the money still be there in the summer like the arteta money was last year. these are facts that are hurting the team. the squad is not strong, yes we will have a good go but really feel again a golden chance has been hampered by the board, we should be buzzing not feeling that even the are s can catch us

Silent poster isn't a koppite do you represent a forum for evertonions, because if you think my views are those of a koppite you are delusional, these are views of most blues I know who will continue to back the team but feel the board are not matching or backing the mangers plans for matching the top teams. don't insult fellow blues my views are the same as most blues at this time a feeling of a missed oportunity that in the summer could really hurt us

Solidarity reg, love the blues, hate the board

I posted on this site a few days ago about some fans secretly wanting us to fail so they can indulge themselves in some Billy-bashing or Moyes-bashing or whatever and tp has just proven my point. .

The sense of self-satisfaction and smugness (whether right or wrong ) in his posts is truly sad to hear from someone that claims to support the team!
Oh well let's all just hope for a good win at the weekend : )

aflm78

There is no smugness in my posts I adore efc and my love affair started in 1962 and I have not missed many games since then. i'm not an armchair supporter. and I don't make personal comments about you or any one so try being more dignified with your comments tp. {Ed025's Note - i realise you are a true blue tp, and we all have our own views mate, but you sound like we are in the bottom 5, not the top 5!...no one likes to hear disparaging comments about something they love, i know you are just airing your feelings, but try to be a bit more positive, it has been a great season so far, and there is no reason why it cant get even better..

Ok cheers ed. keep up the good work tp.

Listen mate you could not wait even a week before coming on here to gloat. yeh that's right GLOAT.
That is what you were doing after all. the old ' I told you so, I was right and you were all wrong Na na na na na'
that's called gloating, and gloating comes from a sense of smug, self-satisfaction at being proven (or at least believing so) right! So don't come on here and give me that nonsense about being dignified.

You make think you are a loyal supporter but you're not. You are a negative, moaner and negativity breeds more negativity and helps nobody certainly not the team. You're prob one of the ones that boo's DM's decisions and the team if they don't score 4 goals in the first half against relegation threatened teams, but still think you are a good supporter! But you are not!!
COYB!

I REST MY CASE TP.

04 Feb 2013 17:02:05
We can all say we should have brought so and so in from the transfer window the fact is that we only got one player in let's get behind the team to push on upwards and get behind moyes. fair enough heitenga was awful let's see what moyes does in the summer sure he will stay. ryanfromleic coyb.

I hope we resurrect the fer deal in the summer

Yh big enough squad but moyes bein negative and playin jags out of position what's he tryin to proove.

I think he will revert jags to cb against united, we looked more solid after he reverted to cb on Saturday when johnny was substituted

All this talk abt anichebe playing well its true but we all know he won't keep it up he will go off the boil again.

How the hell do you know how a player is going to play? If you are in the know. tell me next weeks lottery numbers whilst you are at it.
Degsypulford

Victor will get better and better if he can stay injury free, his strength and finishing have been great recently

Dave EFC

Vic seems to play better down the middle than on the right or left and being given the starting slot instead of Jelly really seams to have done his confidence the world of good. Hopefully he can keep up the performance level and bring the best out of the Jelly man. I think coming on as an impact sub may just get him back into the sort of form we are saw last season. Once he gets a couple of goals then hopefully the floodgates will open. COYB

Just watched carlos bacca on youtube. he looks pretty decent. looks like an excellent striker, I think he would fit in at our club.

hes scored 18 goals in 19 games this season for club brugge in the belgian pro league. he's 26 years old from colombia.

You're a week late

I have just returned from holiday and watched the highlights of the Villa match. That has got to be Johnny Heitinga's worst performance in an Everton shirt. As a lot of previous posters have said would like to see Jags back in the middle for the Manc game.

On a positive note, Big Victor looked like he had a good game. Love the way he out muscled the defender for his goal. Plenty more of that please Vic. Looks like he is starting to realise his own potential.

Alastair

Victor is a confidence player, he seems to be getting better and better with more playing time and the goals are finally coming

Dave EFC {Ed025's Note - he is like a new signing dave..

He's still not 'mega' though is he?

If we're going to be top 5 or 6 team we need a top striker not a work in progress - other teams seems to get them - like swansea or newcastle or other teams below us - and we get big vic and 'somethings not right' jelly man

04 Feb 2013 11:45:54
After watching our last 2 games. Yes, we took 4 points but I think the fact we didn't strengthen in January will be the downfall of our season. I know fans refuse to be negative or criticize the board and that's good in a way but for me we have once again stood still like we did in 2004 and 2009 when we were on the brink of doing something special we just stood still didn't freshen the squad and fell behind Tottenham etc.
Gutted. I think the season now will be a fight for 6th place with Liverpool which will still be decent but you can't help thinking we have missed a chance here of top 4.
No matter what I will still spend my money watching the lads and cheer them on, my priority now is to win the FA Cup, 17 years is too long for a club like ours.

Steve

Totally agree mate but people need to see past all the glad we have moyes group. were run by a bunch of persons including moyes 11 years and nothing, look at swansea- laudrup will bring them silverware in his very first season! i'm scottish myelf and love what my fellow scot moyes has done (top 8 team) his time is up surely people need to see this, this as much as i'd like it to we just don't have a good/big enough sqaud to get champ league. this summer should be a time of change, players and manager included {Ed025's Note - ahh..no name i see?..another keyboard warrior, who thinks he knows whats best for the club..

I'll say this once again: IMHO the Agent Johnson era on top of the post-1985 European ban for English clubs did for us. What BK and DM have done during the past ten years is amazing and anyone who talks about 'where we should be as a club' needs to take a reality check. Every other club currently in the EPL (including all the so-called big ones apart from Arsenal and Liverpool) have been relegated at least once during the past fifty years (some even going down to the third and fourth tiers) and we've had a few narrow squeaks ourselves. Whatever happens, the club will carry on - once a blue, always a blue!
C. A. Jones

Read your reply mate. You are either a fan from a different club or a very negative pessimistic person. I wouldn't go that far mate. Just disappointed we didn't get a couple of players in too bolster the squad and push on for 4th

04 Feb 2013 11:21:18
I really hope all our players come back from International duty injury free this week, cause we need a fully fit squad going to the Mancs on sunday what a rubbishty time to have international matches midweek bloody hate them. Stef the blue

Hopefuly united will have more on duty than us! : )

04 Feb 2013 10:44:30
A number of blues appear to be going to war over th Johnny H situation and DMs selection of him. Johnny is a top player who is having a nightmare phase in his career- my only objection is that DM who is a top manager picks him at mo. Is it really so wrong that efc supporters raise this issue? We must always question bad descisions that are blatenly obvious, we know our history and our football!
We are not JH or DM haters!

Sorry pal I've never liked him, I was at his debut Pompey away he got utterly destroyed, he's great at fist pumping, he's a phoney this season I've seen him pull out of tackles pull out of headers and even pull his leg out the way when he could have scored, that was in a away game Fulham I think, the guy just can't be bothered, the sooner he's gone the better, I can except players having inferior levels of skill but I when they stop putting in the effort that's unexcetable, it's cancerous and can spread if not nipped in the bud, cancel his conract and pay him up and ship him out, and be done with him,

04 Feb 2013 08:45:01
If we finish 4th and keep Fellaini, Sell Gueye for 3M to add to our 8. 5M that's 11. 5M we should sign Belhanda.

Transfer window was a great chance to push on, what have we done but weakened the team. Away games to come Man utd, Arsenal, Liverpool, Chelsea, Spurs, Norwich, Sunderland, I can see us losing 5 games there. Home games easier Reading, Stoke, Mancity, West ham, Fulham, QPR, however think the away games will be too much I think we will finish 8-9 great effort, but management by being un ambitious have screwed us well done you persons Coyb

"seeemples!"

Sell Gueye for £3m and get Belhanda for £5m? If only it were that simple. We're not playing FM or FIFA, this is the real world.
