You heard anything on the player apparently signing by next Monday. I heard from a good source (my brother) that it will be a powerful midfielder. I personally hope Diame

Heard last night felli to utd, cleverly part of the deal. played under Martinez for a year at Wigan. don't know how true. would anyone be happy if we ended up with cleverly and mc carthy if felli went to utd. baines to sign new deal {Ed025's Note - not me..

I wouldn't be happy with that - but since when has "being happy" been part of being an Everton supporter?

Or me

Morning Ed and fellow Blues!

Do you expect us to sign anyone this week?

DiscoDave

15 Jul 2013 12:57:05
I think we will Dave, as our Ed has stated I think we are going to make a marquee signing for quite a few quid, we have only spent appx 6 milion so far and TV revenue is massive, I would still hope that we have 20 million to spend without sales so come on Bobby M pick your man.

You know what too mate it will probably be someone has not been mentioned at all in any posts.

Degsy

Ta Degsy.

If the player (s) we sign are anything like the calibre of what has been touted i'd be over the moon!

Just a side note – Manchester United have reportedly just bid £26m for Cesc Fabregas. He’s a Completely different player to Felli. If that deal goes through, do you think we’ll still loose Felli?

DiscoDave

He won't be going there now mate, probably Arsenal

Just read a joke that tickled my funny bone.
A certain satellite TV company has acquired the rights to the World Origami Championships. Unfortunately, it'll only be available on paper view.
Groan ;-)

Is RM the sort of manager who likes to send promising young players out on loan in order to develop, or does he prefer to keep them in-house so that they can be more closely coached and developed by him and his staff? Anyone know what his record was like at his previous clubs in this particular regard?

Why Cowpat?. Do you think keeping them and coaching them in house is better than them actually getting proper footballing experience?

My question was about RM and what he did at his previous clubs - I wasn't expressing, or hinting at, a preference.

Sid, bit of both mate, sent the likes of Kiernan, Golobart, Dicho, Redmond and even Mc Manaman on loan over the last couple of seasons when at Wigan, but kept the likes of Fyife and Bingham in the reserves.

Dont be fooled by the hype though mate. I see a lot of Evertonians coming on saying that he will give the youngsters a chance, but i'm not convinced.

Took him six months too long to let McManaman loose, never played Henriquez, Campadal, Golobart, Fyife, (all highly rated and players he brought in) to name a few.

Good luck for the season.

Really hope we can replace Fellaini with a similar player Liverpool and Spurs are chasing.

An Eriksen or Bernard, somebody of that stature, would really excite me.

Really hope we don't replace Fellaini at all! He'd be impossible to replace anyway. Where else are you going to find a 6 ft + beast who scores goals behind the front man even though he's a DM and who's hair is bigger and better than Tina Turners! I say it once and I'll say it again, if we sell our best players we'll be doomed and i'm pretty sure we'll be towards the bottom half of the table this coming season. The two best signings we can make this season are the two we already have!
