Can we all stop with the negative comments about potential new signings. It's incredible that it seems as though a majority of you think you know better than Martinez. Well over the summer Barry, Alcaraz, McCarthy were all apparently not good enough. They have proved us wrong. Everyone saying McGeady is cack yet I would guess none of you has seen him play in the flesh and even so Martinez seems to know what he is doing.
Enjoy the season it's great being an Evertonian right now. Don't have unrealistic expectations and get angry if they are not met. Don't slag off a guy who has not even kicked a ball for us yet or in some cases has not even signed.
Trust in the manager and the club. Speculating of who is coming in is fun and great I just hate the "he isn't good enough" " don't want him" "not everton standard" doesn't get a game for club x so why would we want him" seen him on YouTube looks awful/amazing" just support who we have playing in blue and trust the judgement of a man who has proved me and a lot of us wrong with his transformation of our club.
End of rant.
Oh and typical for us to get a new managers first game and it's away. We be pleased with any point we get on Monday as new managers always seem to win their first game

I'm with you on the new manager being away part, think we will have another southampton game on our hands, they will hit the woodwork a few times and we will be lucky to escape with a draw, anyway, I'm not with you on the 'don't want him' thing because we will all support whoever is in the blue shirt but what is the point of everyone going 'if (enter a name) joins I'll support him no matter what', well how boring would that be, people going 'don't want kenwyne jones, brad friedel has a better goal to game ratio' and people going 'wouldn't mind if fletcher signs' is all part of a the fun, getting other peoples views on things, seeing full matches on the tv is the same as being there, you just miss less as there are no pillars in the way :), obviously being there is much better, I'm not an armchair supporter like some fans (liverpool, uh I mean *cough*), I have seen mcgeady, on tv not live and I haven't been impressed, and I have said since we were linked with him that I don't want him, he is here now and of course I will support him and want him to do well, but until a rumoured 'target' signs and is an official everton player I think its only fair we give our personal views on that player whether we want him or not as its a banter site, its all part of the fun

This game will be a serious challenge tomorrow. West Brom are not a bad side plus every player will give 100% to impress the new manager and show what they've got. I'd take a scrappy, controversial, 1-0 win to us right now.

Svenny

I think that is a good post.

However,
Kenwyne Jones is not good enough for us

He's a poor mans stracquilursi

It's not even about McGeady or rumours about Jones or Bloggs it's the fact that on the surface we as Evertonians are giving it the we are so pleased and everything is great yet there seems to me to be a rather common thread of negativity.
Where this stems from I don't know, years of underperforming maybe. I am just so happy with what my team is producing and the general message the club is sending out that we could re sign Brett Angel and I would still be loving this season.
I also think 4th or higher may well be beyond us but that does not get me down because even when we did get 4th under Moyes I never believed we were truly heading in the right direction. Now I truly feel we are going in the right direction and it's great.

I have said this before, but will say it again. There are 2 types of supporters.those who get behind the team no matter what. and usually blame the ref for everything. (that's me). Then there are those who get on players/managers/chairman's backs (and wonder why the players lose confidence). They pay good money to go and shout abuse at players/managers/chairman yet call themselves supporters!
