I think the Jones rumour is a smokescreen and we will sign a cracking striker. well i'm hoping that's the case anyway.

I hope so too Stef! Hopefully the Belgian youngster will sign and what about a cheeky bid for Cisse of Newcastle. (imo a good striker who has lost his way this season - RM would get the best out of him).

Also heard a rumour from a Celtic FC source that we are interested in signing Frazer Foster as Howard wants to finish his career in the MSL next year.

im sick to death of 'martinez will get the best out of him', we heard it with heitinga, jelavic, osman, anichebe and pienaar, has he? no he has not, cisse was crap last season and would cost 12m and considering he won't get any better and doesn't suit our play style I would be happy with just michy

So mike you don't think martinez has had any effect on the players since he took over? Last season an alarming number of people thought seamus Colman couldn't cut it at prem level ( not me by the way) but Bobby HAS got the best out of him and quite a few others as well so I don't think its out of the question he could do the same with cisse he's had a bad time of late has cisse but if you had to work with pardew do you think you would be at the top of your game I say trust the manager to recruit who HE thinks is best for the club he's not doing a bad job of it as far as I can see.

Cisse? Sorry mate but no thanks, really don't think the guys very good. Mirko Vucinic is an immense player and is available for around 7m. Much cheaper and similar wages. Watched him up close play against my brother who plays in Italy. Both of us of opinion he was the most naturally gifted footballer in their team, which has a few names in it. He's stale there. Needs to move on. I reckon he would have a similar impact on the league to Alen Boksic when he was at M'boro.

By the way I wasnt saying cisse is the answer because I don't but just that we as supporters don't know half of what goes on behind the scenes and I trust bobby to do the right thing, he will sign some donkeys that inevitable but he will get more out of those poorer signings than most would. He give everyone a chance and its up to them to make that chance pay, Barry, Colman, Barkley spring to mind and if they don't they get moved on i.e Jelavic, Anichebe, as far as ossie is concerned I don't think he's a first eleven week in week out but he definitely does a job for the team and can plug gaps when they appear be it injuries or suspensions over all this is the second best squad I've ver seen at everton only bettered by the 80's team that got me hooked on the blue side of Stanley Park. wow that got to be the most words I've wrote in one go since I left school :)

{Ed025's Note - what about your charge sheet AL? :)
