If moysey only has a limited tranfer budget in the January window he maybe better off retaining Doris on a longer contract than looking for a creative midfielder and central striker

when asked "do you think you can win the fa cup this year" moysey comes out with, depends on the luck of the draw, and weve got a tough draw in the next round etc. I don't dispute that.Iwould just like him for once to be a bit more positive whats wrong in saying, why not were a good side playing some attractive attacking football and were very hard to beat and not to many teams will fancy playing everton that's for sure.Ed we are all the above mentioned plus we never get turned over easily either.were sitting fifth in the league and if we really want it and believe it more we can be playing champions league football next season.Everyone of us including the players and the manager should have our chests puffed out shoulders back and head held high and have the swagger. We are everton, lets start believing.jimmy {Ed025's Note - im with you jombo..

Good post mate believe is what i say .Stef the blue

We have a better chance of winning the cup with Doris

08 Jan 2013 22:24:13
Would really like Stones from Barnsley or Byram from Leedss, two very promising right backs.Also Forren, Ofoe and Gameiro.Job done ! Rob Walker

Anyone read the book Scally? Eye opening. Even if only 1% of it is actually true. Glad I wasn't born then.

How can you spend time reading this book when EFC could be in crisis over Doris--get in the real world mate

Boss book do the CRC still exist?

Are you serious? The author of that book (not sure if I can mention his name on here) is an absolute ***. To try and glorify what was one of the darkest periods in English football is disgraceful.
Anyone who went to watch football in that period risked their well being every time they went to an away game whether they were involved in the violence or not, not to mention the way the average fan was treated by the police when they went away.
I remember there being outrage on there pages after the behaviour of so called Everton fans at Elland Road earlier this season and now here we are bigging up this book.
I saw the author of this book in Waterstones doing a book signing when it was first published, sitting there in all his 'casual' clobber with a big pile of books next to him and not a single punter buying his book. An absolute disgrace to our great club and an person to boot!
Moody Blue {Ed025's Note - that was my era as well moody...thank god them days are practically gone, every other saturday was filled with trepidation, travelling to grounds where you expected trouble, dark days my friend..

Well they did try to ban the book.you really think those days have gone? don't think so! has racism gone? don't think so. {Ed025's Note - believe me mate...it is far from the 70,s and 80,s...

My father said it was bad around 70's/80's, i was born in 87 glad i didnt go matches around the time.it does still go on now like but not as bad.ive seen most of the footage from many teams, i even got caught up in the everton valley scrap with man u, was travelling home from the match with my mate and his dad in their car and out of nowhere was police everywhere and both sets of fans in the middle of the road kicking the living daylights out of each other.i was really scared i just wanted to go home.even with the game against millwall in the cup few years back sitting in the street end and all i heard was persons going on about after the game what their going to do and whats going to happen.
i just can't believe its all over a football match. {Ed025's Note - you had to be around at the time to realise how scary it was mate..

To be fair there was a lot about that era that was grim, no jobs, terrible government, north south divide, strikes all over the place etc etc. The only thing that kept most people going was the music, the football and fashion. And until 84 even my beloved Blues were pretty grim. I was fortunate, I escaped to warmer climes courtesy of the HM armed forces but still managed to take a fair few games in up and down the country. Even then I still kept my mouth shut when going away games for fear of getting a good kicking off some inbred home fan. That apart, still got some great memories from when the world was our oyster (as Frankie would say)

Not bothered if Fellaini leaves. Everton make stars out of the players they buy, they always have and always will. If he leaves, we will unearth another gem... Maybe 3 for the money we would get. Saying that, I really don't think he's going anywhere soon.

Don't want felli to leave but no player is bigger than the club.if he goes good luck to the lad.
Moysie will unearth another gem.

08 Jan 2013 20:24:02
Personally I don't think Fellaini will go anywhere this transfer window, perfect opportunity for Europe giving our famous strong second half of the season and he looks chuffed to bits when he scores! Big Vic showing good form so I say all we need is a central midfielder and a striker on loan. What ever happens we all know Moyes doesn't buy rubbish so we can rest in peace on that one! Looking forward to the game Saturday, put the pressure on Spurs!

Just heard from my sister who is a steward at EFC that Doris the tea lady is to be offered an extension to her contract following serious interest from MacDonalds.

David Moyes apparently thinks it is impereative to keep the backroom staff at the club. {Ed025's Note - when the chips are down...she will pick everton..

I heard that the tea-lady deal is in the bag. She's also a good source of tips, but she'll have to turn over a new leaf in future.
Cowpat Sid {Ed025's Note - but she got nabbed last week...for pyramid selling.. :)

Doris is crucial to our European hopes

Dave EFC

Doris at Liverpool Airport rumoured to be Barcelona bound--must have been offered silly money {Ed025's Note - good work again airport scouts..

WE must keep Doris at EFC who else will clean the cups

Doris plus Felliani for Messi--you heard it here first

If Doris goes I will bin my season ticket-we must keep the squad together {Ed025's Note - im with you..

Get Doris off the flight now

All Evertonians should support the SOD campaign--Save Our Doris

Lineker, Rooney, Arteta, Doris--when will we ever learn-- {Ed025's Note - love it mate..

Doris demands new tea trolley and earl grey-but moyes won't break pay structure-- {Ed025's Note - i think somethings brewing..

Doris is on her way--no use crying over spilt milk

Sky News reporting that Doris story is getting hot!

Why is everyone getting so potty about Doris?

Doris has reached boiling point after the latest contract negotiations stalled

What a read. Some serious laughter there. :D

What do you mean why is everyone going potty over Doris--have you not heard the rumours--what planet are you from

08 Jan 2013 20:01:42
Fellaini will stay he said it himself, how i see 2013 for the the blues our next 4 games are crucial they are all very winnable but no guarantees.We will sign a couple of players this month who only Moyes knows but they will be decent enough as we all know how Moyes works, we will be up there fighting for 4th spot till the end of the season and we will clinch it.I can see a very good Fa cup run also maybe win it, you would not write us off would you.I am confident investment will come at some stage in 2013 be it in new owners or just investment on other scales.Moyes and Baines will sign new contracts and new players will be bought in the summer as Moyes will have money to spend it will be great to see our team play on Tuesday and Wed nights in the CL did any of us expect us to be were we are now at the start of the season a win away from going third in the league in January i bet if your honest not a lot did including me.So for me all of the above is very possible and i hope it comes true lets stay positive blues i think we are going to have the season we have all been craving for years this year and many more to come bring on the Swans on sat COYB Stef the blue {Ed025's Note - great post stef...if we cant believe in ourselves mate..who can we believe in?..

Very true Ed 25, everybody is wary of us this season we have been outstanding and it is not a one off it has been coming over the last few years a Spurs fan said today you will never get Parker on loan this season why would we do that as we see Everton as more dangerous than Arsenal this year i am going to take it week by week but any win from now on in is a win towards Champions league football next year cause i can not see us losing many more this season .Stef the blue {Ed025's Note - i hope your right stef..

08 Jan 2013 19:26:14
Hope Fellaini Sticks to his word that he'll see out his contract. Then when he has 1 year left we will still get 22M. Dan1

He won't stay till his 29th bday surely?

08 Jan 2013 18:07:35
Makes me laugh all these rumours on fellaini going here there and everywhere think about it fellow blues he's just moved away from Liverpool and moved where no not London or Birmingham no yes you've got it Manchester so we might as well face it its who wants him the most united or city gutted but as long as we get at least 30 million I will be devastated and moysey given at least 20 million to spend as schalke are ready to grab our manager and give him plenty to spend come on bill get it sorted fast

Felli moved to get some peace and quiet away from liverpool {Ed025's Note - yeah...hes moved to salford...all the guns there have silencers.. :)

Felliani is replaceable proved when out suspended, he gonna move sooner or later as will bale, Suarez , an extra 50 grand a week or show loyalty, not been cynical just realistic .keeping moyes is far more important n gettin Baines on a deal like jags, n Weil be ok

08 Jan 2013 17:40:22
There has been a lot of talk about the new Singaporean players on the scene lately. The Daily Mail appears to be linking Oswind Suriya to Everton

The daily mail have linked us with everyone, it will be jimmy saville and micheal jackson tomorrow

Hope not our youth set up is very good at the moment

08 Jan 2013 17:20:08
I'm sick to death of the continuous rumours that link Fellaini away, they just won't go away until he leaves.

ToffeeMike {Ed025's Note - or until he doesn,t leave mike..

Or until he retires ed

ToffeeMike

I heard that Roman Abramovic is gunna leave Chelsea and refuse to put anymore money in. The club are going to go bankrupt and end up being deducted points and relegated... See how easy it is to make up a rumour?

08 Jan 2013 16:37:03
I read an article on Toffeeweb Richard Tolman replied after the no show of the new owners at the match against Chelsea.Now im only saying what i think in response to it i think there could be something in this i would not rule it out 100 percent.Anyway if you have not seen it its on Toffeeweb if nothing happens in the next 2 weeks i would say it is a wind up but you never know he did say though if he has to he will reveal more on this but we will wait and see .Stef the blue

08 Jan 2013 17:58:50
What new owners Stef

08 Jan 2013 15:57:12
Does anyone think that maybe we are letting our young talent go a little to young rather than just loaning them out? For example youth team players of ours in previous yeas are now doing fairly well for themselves! Look at ruddy an England international hope Akpan moving to a premi premiership team, reading also Lucas jukiewitz looks promising. I think we should be keeping these players and loaning them out a bit longer to see them develop .
BlueClarkey {Ed025's Note - its a catch 22 clarkey...we need to get players deemed surplus to requirement off the wage bill mate..

08 Jan 2013 15:25:57
Schalke 04 looking for a new manager and has mouse top of the List. Hope he doesn't go to germany. EfcK {Ed025's Note - well he is the big cheese :)

It really winded me up last night where moyes was bringin Naismith and hitzlspergr instead of Barkley? Last night was a perfect game for Barkley to get some more game time! Tom

Only a thought but perhaps Barkley is about to be loaned again and the club didn't want him cup tied or injured.

Barkley showed against chelsea hes not ready loan him out

08 Jan 2013 12:10:39
Hi, not posted in a while, but just thought i would write to put an end to the Fellaini rumours. All of this is just poor lazy journalism. If you think about it logically, Felli has come to everyones attention as advanced midfielder playing off the striker. The club they link him to most strongly is Chelsea. Chelsea have Mata, Oscar, Hazard all playing that role (or wanting to) The next team he keeps being linked with is Real Madrid, again they have Ozil, Kaka, Modric etc. Man Utd have spent heavily this summer on Kagawa to play that position. Now Felli offers something different from those players in his style, but it is that position on the pitch that would be sacraficed to fit him in to any team buying him.
If you drop him back deeper where he has played previously he is a very good defensive midfielder, maybe valued around 20 million, however i think Felli likes the football that is being played through him at Everton and i don't think he would want to drop back deeper and basically do the dirty work of a Mikel for example.
So basically i can't see why any of the teams linked with him would pay 30 odd million for a player playing in a position that they don't need replacing

I'm sure it's been raised with the Eds before, but does anyone else find it a pain that you have to click to view replies for each individual rumour on the rumours page, but the replies on the banter page are simply given after each post so that you can scroll down the entire "conversation". Also, I like to search for the names of favourite posters, which I can do on the banter page, but not on the rumours page with any ease. The regular posters do tend to put their names to their posts and they're always good value and usually funny too IMHO.
Cowpat Sid {Ed025's Note - its a volume thing sid..the server cannot cope when it gets busy mate..

Get ye wallet out then Ed and buy a bigger server, you must be loaded being head couch tester for DFS

Degsy {Ed025's Note - its a hard life degsy..but someone has to do it mate,

Are the Eds BK in disguise :-) Put your hand in your pocket and invest in a decent squad of servers.
Only kidding - it's a minor issue considering the great job you guys do in providing this forum.

Yeah, you r spot on Sid. I mean it is really difficult to click a button.

Just seen on sspn"moyes rules out readings bid for big vic"he as had a good season"think if decent money is offerd"mite be a diff story"think moyes would sell him for abt £4mill"moyes said last night its all abt his confidence but moyes as always said that abt big vic"RYANFROMLEIC"

Its hope akpan going to reading, not vic {Ed025's Note - it is mate..

Chelsea have identified 25-year-old Marouane Fellaini as their preferred replacement for Frank Lampard, 34, and are planning to trigger a £22m buyout clause in the Everton midfielder's contract at the end of the season.

If this is true it would be very dissapointing that we only make 7 Million profit then why have we not put in a bid for Holtby who alos could have the buld around him..?

Look forward to this being proved wrong is there any truth to this ED? {Ed025's Note - chelsea seem to want every midfielder on the planet, i dont know how much his buy out clause is...

I'm pretty sure it WAS before he signed his 5yr contract and that the club signing him had to be in the CL. Take no notice, this is silly season.

Ask yourself how would a paper kno this. answer is they wouldnt and why would you put a clause in a contract to make it easier and cheaper for champions leauge teams (they have the most money and are the only ones that can afford his true valuation £35m minimum)to take one of our top players. i don't believe anything the papers write its all lies. {Ed025's Note - im with you mate..

Yeahh, plus they're close to signin that Taison fella from Metalist Kharkiv..with him, Mata, Oscar, Hazard, Mikel, Romeu and now David Luiz playing in midfield, the last thing they need is another midfielder...

Murf

Oh, and Victor Moses and Marin...that's 9 first-team midfielders. Also, as someone else has pointed out, Moyes has been saying that if anyone wants to buy any of our players then they'd have to come up with 'crazy money'..and £22m for one of the league's most in-form players is no where near 'crazy money'. This is all just a load of bull if ask me.

Murf

08 Jan 2013 01:15:14
Can your sources with word from within the club confirm or deny the Fellaini release clause rumour ASAP please ed... Worried here! {Ed025's Note - most players will have a release clause..

08 Jan 2013 00:19:25
Right Barkley and Vellios didn't play tonight because they would have been 'cup tied'. There is already a deal in place for them both to be loaned out at the end of Jan depending on incoming transfers. They both need games (championship level) . Heistinga is NOT in Amsterd but if a good enough bid comes our way he will be sacrificed considering his 1his 18 months left on his current deal (which is very well paid) and a pay rise on any new deal ( which he does not deserve) . There is no mega money to be spent, just loans unless we sell. I can't say any more as I have said everything
D.

Why have them on the bench then?a total waste of time. moyes had said earlier about giving barkley more game time then goes and brings naismith on!
It we are not careful this lad will get snapped up by someone.Moyes doesnt trust him clearly
