One thing i'd hate to see happen is us turning into Man City if we get taken over. I'd like us to get some decent players, but not to be spending hundreds of millions every transfer window on greedy b**tards with no love for the club. Man City, in my opinion have been completly destroyed since being taken over, sure their playing brilliantly, but how many of their starting 11 actually made their name at the club? Only Kompany.
They are a heartless club that only care abouy money and I don't want Everton turning into that.

Breeno {Ed025's Note - i know what you mean breeno...unfortunately thats the way football is now, its sad..but true..

Hart, richards, kompany, de jong, adam johnson... - these have all MADE their name at the club, and are all there for passion too.

Another thing I don't understand is why a player would sign for a club just to sit on the bench. I mean, if football is your life, why would you go to a big club and sit on the bench, instead of going to a club where you'll start and be the star player.

Breeno {Ed025's Note - i think their intention is to play....but sometimes it just does not work out!..

Sorry, I knew there was someone else (Richards)
Hart made his name with Birmingham, De Jong was already a big name player and Adam Johson made his name at Middlesborough ( I think )
Richards and Kompany were unknown before they joined Man City before the takeover

Breen

I thought we were talking about the club making them into a player they are today, if we are talking unknown players into stars, city are not that team, I agree

WTF, since 85 we all know our side hadn't been dealt with fairly! but now we can almost taste our salvation. what's wrong with a city style takeover? we all bitch about them, but the worst players they have in there team are our main transfer targets. the heart and soul of city is still there, yes they have a lot of foreign players but also a great homebase of players too, much like the everton way.
we all can see just how good the kids in our team are going to be, mix that with the best foreign players and we'll sweep all before us,
lets just start to dream!!

Kompany and Vanden Borre we both chased be chelsea for ages, both we kids at Anderlecht where all top euro teams kept tabs on them,

Mad rumour here, Everton fans learn how to spell their own players names correctly, and maybe one or two players we are getting in {Ed025's Note - its no big deal mate...as long as we know who they mean..after all, its not an english grammar test!..

Ed dont shoot me down but what do you think. Let say no major investment...
4-1-4-1 formation. More attacking than it can seem, i think will suit our squad and allow us to be dominant in the midfield will actually being accountable and allowing our wingers to play at wingers... not bilyaletdinov's

think about our midfield and think about the future as well. no matter how much we might be underperforming this season i cant see us getting relegated and theres still a huge positive outlook from me on our squad and potential.

howard
heitinga jags distin baines
fellaini
coleman rodwell osman drenthe
saha

barkley coming off the bench - very good prospect of course game time will be handy for him and the team. thinking of this rodwell-fellaini-barkley midfield axis in a few years - my god (try this instead of viagra old fellas, lol)

coleman - may have played poorly in the last game but he's pacy and is tough for defenders to deal with which is just what we need - once/if his decision making with the final ball comes he'll be a ripper just watch
cahill - when back in goalscoring form get him in the for osman. i wouldnt be starting him at least for the moment because were lacking quality in the final third - id much prefer him in there when he's getting some good service, meanwhile id put osman in there at the moment because we need a creater and although he's not the most gifted we've seen he's definately capable.

AussieBlue {Ed025's Note - you seem to have all the answers aussie!..i say why not...it cant be any worse than what we are playing at the moment..

once youve been touched by everton your never the same,....to bloody right mate,cant sleep with worry,deppresion,style of play,paranoia,harry redknapp,deep deep hatred of anything in red,give up all hope,lost all ambition, nightmares , mucha,hibbo,dennis,kenwright,oh yes..am gettin sectioned..everton seriously bad for your health

Get rid of hibbert? lost my vote there mate. {Ed025's Note - he has done ok this season, he is not blessed with the greatest skill....but no one can fault his commitment and passion when donning the blue jersey..

Ok hibbert isnt the best goin forward but you will hardly see anybody beat him in a 50 50 and his passion, commitment and utter love for the club cannot be questioned {Ed025's Note - your right mate..

I would add moyes to that with billy and neville

You no how bad things are when ppl say they rate hibbo,he gives is all,big deal,hes on 15 grand a week,hes crap,hes always been crap,and always will be end ov.weve ad better free transfers paul power supberb player.pace power skill,and a football brain,hibbo well he gives is all so that will do,how sad

Absolutely love Hibbo so it pains me to say, I agree with the above. He's complete turd. A championship right back. Get Shemus back there, fill his midfield spot with another attack minded player.

lets have a vot on here all who support Bill and all who dont ps no red sh@@e to post i vote for bill

I love Bill and I think anyone who doesn't has a very short memory, strange really when we always sing "if you know your history". Bill saved the club, his life would be alot easier and he would be alot richer if he would have left Peter 'cheese and onion oven chips' Johnson to take us under!

I love bill, but thats not the point is it, yes he saved us but he can no longer take us forward and unless we get an investor we could be facing relegation in the next few seasons because we will have to sell our best players while every other team is strenthening {Ed025's Note - i dont usually rant...but here is my five penneth worth ....bill kenwright is a very decent man,, and a staunch evertonian, for me this is without question, now i have supported the blues for over 40 years, and to call me a bitter blue..would be a major understatement. the way i see it, bill cannot sustain the club, never mind take it forward, and that is the only reason i want him to go!, if nothing changes..then i believe there is a possibility that we could well be drawn into the relegation dog fight!..but bill is not the only problem we have at the moment, david moyes has a lot to answer for, our team look and play lethargic, there is a definate lack of commitment and team spirit in the side. and tactically, we look inept at times. setting the team up for draws and in some cases limited losses, is not what i would call acceptable!. in the end its an entertainment business, and this season i have yet to feel entertained, not since the likes of mike walker and gordon lee, have we had to put up with such poor fayre, nil satis nisi optimum is the way i was brought up on football, and i for one will not settle for less..so when posters question my loyalty, they are miles wide..i just want the best for the club i love!......rant over

Pienaar in South AFrica to play for Bafana against Ivory Coast. Says he regrets leaving Everton.

Most players who leave Everton tend to regret it. They chase after the money only to realise that there are things money can't buy. I stand to be corrected but I think it was Alan Ball who said "Once you've been touched by Everton, nothing will ever be the same" or words to that effect.

Tottenham Hotspur's Steve Pienaar says he doesn't regret rejecting a move to Chelsea in the January transfer window.
