This isn't a rumour but who was that young lad we signed but can't play for us now? Where is he and what is happening with him? Also with coleman being out try bring in holtby with the anchinbe money and or get Donovan back get Billy out for anythin and bring Baxter and vellios through put faith in the blues and we will be top 6 easily. {Ed025's Note - this is your wake up call....holtby is not coming...anichebe will bring in no revenue..and donovan will cost too much....sorry to wake you up..

You're thinking of Araz Abdulayev, I have no clue where he his...

He has played for the reserves a few times, hes not a 1st team player

----fox---

Coleman out for 6 weeks, keeps gettin better. Been told a big signing will arrive before window closes {Ed025's Note - for us..the window was never open!..

We can live with 6 weeks at least it wasn't more serious as we first thought, he should be back in the team in september {Ed025's Note - at least thats a bit of good news....thanks mate..

Coleman is an important player for us as he contributes a lot for us and can play in a couple of positions, he was great at times last season {Ed025's Note - i will second that..

God's sake Barkley will get some game time though which is exciting at least. {Ed025's Note - lets just hope he,s up to it!..

Terrible news, will we ever have no injuries. Coleman has developed as a player extraordinarily quickly, big miss. {Ed025's Note - he will be a big miss..but if you think we will ever have no injuries..you are very naive..

Hibbert and neville will probably play on the right while coleman is out. Coleman will hopefully be even better for us when he gets back, he is a cracking player {Ed025's Note - yes he is, we need him back as soon as possible..

I wouldn't assume Barkley will get the nod in place of Coleman straight away. I wouldn't be suprised if he played Osman or Arteta, possibly even Rodwell (like last season in some games) on the right instead as he tends to be very cautious with the youngsters. A little too catious imo. {Ed025's Note - me too, but we have to back him...he seldom lets us down..

Am I watching the same player? Some people seem to rate him but have they really watched him lately? He loses the ball 3 times out of 4, and he gets boxed in next to the touch line more often than not, meaning the one time in 4 he doesn't lose it, he just turns around and passes it back to Neville or jags.
But we shall see - I'd be happy to be proved wrong.
Moyes seems to have a blind spot with Vic and Seamus in my opinion.

no players in except free transfers {Ed025's Note - if there was a cheaper option...we would take it!..

As long as we get a couple of players in then free transfers and loans are fine, at least we have kept hold of our best players, unlike the likes of villa and sunderland {Ed025's Note - fair shout mate..

I agree, we have very good players,what frustrates fans is that with a couple of more top players we would be top 4 material,lets hope moyes might surprise us before the transfer window closes {Ed025's Note - dont hold your breath mate..

I think we will see a couple of players in before the window shuts, moyes knows what he is doing and he is used to wheeling and dealing and finding a bargain

You`ve got an exceptional manager in Moyes, im sure if he can wheel and deal any way or form he will, pretty sure he will try the loan market once teams are settled and to be challenging in the EPL with his budget, he is a credit to Everton, johnny {Ed025's Note - thanks johnny..we know we have a great manager...someone should tell our board, before he gets pissed off, and walks out the door!..

Sunderland sign winger James McClean from Derry City for an initial £350,000.

Weren't we linked with him? {Ed025's Note - we were...but it seems any amount of money, is too much for us!..

I have lost track of how many players we have been linked with, its silly season in the summer, i reckon we will see at least one new face before the end of the window {Ed025's Note - you are more optimistic than me!..

Wasnt we linked with eto'o too? #joke #kenwrightout

Hope the game is called off on Saturday, make a nice change not losing on the opening weekend of the season

We have a good recent record at white hart lane, i fancy us for a draw then beat QPR

in the league baines scored 5, distin scored 2, heitinga scored 1, jagielka scored 1, cahill scored 9, osman scored 4, coleman scored 4, arteta scored 3, bily scored 2, fellaini scored 1, neville scored 1, beckford scored 8 and saha scored 7, for a team in the top class flight we should have atleast a player that scores over ten {Ed025's Note - i agree....thats why we have all been asking for a centre forward!..

That's what we've all been saying since the window opened First time on this site by any chance

its not all bad, clubs like arsenal and liverpool were struggling to to make the top 4 last season and the had millions to spend whereas we had sweet f**k all to spend and we were only struggling to finish 6 and the other teams with f**k all to spend like birmingham got relegated
we are an amazing club to be challenging for 6th, 5th or even 4th with no money and the way football has gone where you have to spend £10 million + for a half decent player and the asking prices for players have shot up a mile e.g Hulks asking price is £88 million {Ed025's Note - i see where you are coming from..i just dont want us to go backwards!..

Evertons opening game against Spurs should be called off. The Police are over stretched as it is, let alone having to police a 35,000+ crowd, days after the worst riots in 30 years. Football is only a game, human life and safety are far more important. {Ed025's Note - your right mate...but the police are not the only ones who are over-stretched!..

i love, live and breath Everton fc and are as frustrated as all my fellow blues fans with the position we are in financially, however today it all seems insignificant compared to the horrors that prople are facing round the country today

This is a Banter page mate, nothing serious.. If we wanted to talk about the worlds economy we would go and post on somewhere like; The Times, independant, observer's forums

had a horrible feeling this morning watchin Bentdner interview on SSN he is part of swap deal with Jags going to arse

Is this the most depressing transfer window in the history of our great club, where is the signing of Andy Gray, Bob Latchford, Fellani - Anyone.
Help is needed soon.....

Sorry to say this fellow blues, but at this rate there's a 90% chance the game is going to be called off, there's already been a couple games tomorrow called off, I know football should be the least of the worries but we've all waited the whole Summer to see our blues back in competitve action and quite frankly if the game is postponed I will be fuming, absolute disgrace, stupid children aimlessly causing havoc just for their own amusement, ruining THEIR country, THEIR society, THEIR community, OUR reputation as a country and quite frankly, everyone else's lifes.

I agree with you mate..but if you think about it, if the game does get delayed, maybe it'll be delayed long enough for Coleman to recover and be fit for the game. So it could be a blessin in disguise...always gotta look on the bright side - that's what i've learnt bein a blue

Not really mate, coleman is suspended anyway after getting sent off against chelsea, so its not a blessing in disguise

Yeah Coleman and Bily are suspended for the first game due to red cards before the end of the season + it looks like Coleman could be out for over a month.

Coleman is useless - watch him next time he plays - he loses the ball 3 times out of 4, rarely gets past a defender any more, at best he does about 1 or maybe 2 'good' things in a game - not worth a place in the starting 11 in my opinion. People are remembering the first half of last season but defenders have wised up since.

I am so glad that the England game has been called off, i mean what were they thinking putting the game then anyway. {Ed025's Note - your right..

Mate, thats 1 or 2 good things more than our other right winger/back (which we dont have)

Are you blind mate ? What games were you watching ? Coleman is fantastic, and doesn't stop for 90 minutes, even if he hasn't done much in a game he gives 110 %, he does more than one or two things in a game Do you even go the game ?
