Where is everyone getting this Drenthe is out on saturday ?? The official website says he and Straqualersui are both in the squad for saturday ?? {Ed025's Note - they are in the squad....whether they play, or not, is a different matter!..

If the new lads don't start i can see them at least getting a run out. I think the supporters our looking forward to seeing them as they both seem to be promising signings especially drenthe. Fingers crossed baines makes it as well, i can't remember the last time he didn't play for us

Bez the blue

Eey - I haven't been this exited since the - err - hmm - QPR match :(

Come on the new boys!

2-0 to the blues tomorrow, cahill and osman on the score sheet
COYB

Yer baines has not been out injured for 3 years ! so consistant

Does kenwright think we are daft ?? The press release a story that we are in talks with 3 potential buyers ( just a pr stunt to keep the fans at bay for a while ) haha.... we have got used to your crap bill {Ed025's Note - he must think our heads...button up at the back..

kenwright in talks with three parties. ESPN {Ed025's Note - oh really!!...then we will cancel the march hey?...not..

The supporters have finally had enough and we need to let bill know we do not settle for second best at our club. He is a good evertonian but it is time for a change because this club has loads of potential

Bez the blue {Ed025's Note - your right bez..

Soccer.net.espn.com are saying that kenwright has had meetings with potential buyers this week said to be from the middle east,europe and china! You heard anything about this ed? {Ed025's Note - i think its a con mate..its an attempt by the board to appease the blue union, so they will cancel the march...good luck with that bill..

Yeh i thought so! blue union organise protest march and all of a sudden we have 3 interested buyers! pathectic. :-( {Ed025's Note - you said it mate..

It all sounds like spin to me. As someone mentioned, with the protest coming up this weekend they are trying to throw a spanner in the works. I actually thought that it was a serious article, until I read the comments of a close friend of Bill Kenwright. Smacks of laziness within the communications department! {Ed025's Note - i agree pal..

Just heard cannon and Ball are putting a bid in to buy Everton. {Ed024's Note - correct, they felt dumb and dumber were doing a good job with the kopshites!!!

Sorry to offend you it was'nt cannon and Ball i hold my hands up i was wrong it was the chuckle Brothers. 5 Times. {Ed025's Note - the chuckle brothers..is that carroll & henderson....cos they are chuckling all the way to the bank with their contracts...lol..

I heard a rumour that carroll has got a job on blackpool beach ed, they are always after new donkeys.

Bez the blue {Ed025's Note - thats cos hes not worth a carrot...lol..

where's ur goal keeper mate ?? ha
Decent team though... I would love to see...........
Howard
Neville, Jagielka, Distin, Baines
Coleman, Fellaini, Osman, Drenthe,
Cahill
Saha

Subs
Mucha,
Hibbert,
Heitinga
Rodwell
Barkley (we should use him sparingly)
Bilyaletdinov (mould him into cahill role)
Straquelursui

I would have Anichebe nowhere near the squad but moyes seems to love him !! I would understand why moyes would like him if his attitude was great and he worked hard but he doesn't !!
He cant score, can't pass, can't go past a player, doesn't use his strength, can't cross, doesn't work hard and his attitude stinks !!??
Am i the only one who thinks this ? If there is a strength from Anichebe i am missing please someone tell me ?
Paul EFC

Massively agree on the anichebe point he is a w**k stain on the everton team. He needs to be sold or at least not play as a loan striker he cant handle it.

Agree ! As well as them points he can't run, can't tackle, can't jump, can't head and never shoots !! I don't get it ! WHY has moyes stuck with him ? A good point here, Vaughan and Anichebe, both the same age, both out injured all the time, if i was going to keep one it would of been James Vaughan everytime ! At least he worked hard, had pace, could take player's on and when giving a run in the side he did score a few times !! I think the Anichebe situation is the strangest mystery of moyes's 10 years here.

Moyes seems to rate anichebe, but supporters seem unanimous in not liking him. He is a willing lad and would probably thrive at a championship club. If we end up with a new striker in January it might be best for all concerned if he moves on.

Bez the blue {Ed024's Note -injured now and likely to be out for six weeks

Well is he not useful as the 4th choice striker? It's a diffcult job keeping a player who's not playing happy. Vic probably knows he not at prem level but he gets the odd run out when our first 3 strikers (now 2) are injured (all too often is the real problem). A really decent player is not going to accept being 4th choice for too long and he'll moan and agitiate for a move and fuel dressing room discontent.
Maybe Vic doesnt do those things and is happy with his everton position - so Moyes likes that.
Unfortunately though, it's no good having a 'easy going problem-free' 4th choice striker if he never scores, never looks like scoring and drags the whole team performance down.

I'm glad I'm not a manager

Nice to see a lot of people on here wishing Arteta the best of luck. Its true he forced the move but lets face it he needed a new challenge as he was gone stale at Everton. I really hope on his return to play against us he gets a great reception from all our fans. He says he will always be an Everton fan. But he wanted to play champions league football and at 29 he needed a move for this to happen. He gave Everton great service and we without doubt we got his best years. Really hope now he gets a few Spanish caps he yearns. He did not do this out of greed as he took a 10 grand pay cut for this move. 10m for a player at 29 is good business for us. He is still the best little Spaniard we know and I for 1 wish him all the best and thank him for some great memories. I really hope on his return nobody jeers him as he does not deserve that. Ed what your view and will and does he deserve a good reception from our fans? COYB. {Ed001's Note - I think he will get a mainly good reception, there are always people who erm, I don't want to use the word bitter for obvious reason but can't think of a better one right now, but there are fans of every team who can't seem to just move on and accept a player is gone. But the vast majority I am sure will give him a cheer, then get back to supporting the blues for the match. Hard to see what he has done wrong really, he was not really first choice any more, personally I think he has done Everton a favour by going. His wages were too high for a club with such a shortage of money.}
