I agree man city was to big for him!

Everton are also to big for him. So a big no thanks, to old to slow and simply not good enough.

Gareth Barry. Please no

Barry a good player, would love him
MJ

Gareth Barry's never been a good player. I'm really hoping this one's not true, Man City trying to palm off there cr***pest player aswell. Big no thank you, I wouldn't take him if he was 23 let alone 30+!

This Gareth Barry rumour has a certain Gibson deal about it. out of the blue, plausible

Just to tie a couple of rumours up here, the so-called 'big announcement' that had some on here wondering whether Baines had signed a new contract, or even that Rooney was set for a return to England, well it was about Goodison featuring in the FIFA 2014 video game. What a let down and what fail from a PR team that has gone from bad to worse.

Since when did rooney leave england he kept that quite

I'm not sure how I feel for the new season, I was hoping we would have improved our team from last season, But all we have done is replace the players who have left. Obviously Kone and Dell boy could be exciting but imo we need two more first teamers. Possibly RM is going to put his faith in the kids. Barkley, Stones, and Lundstram could become favourites with the crowd and I do believe we will surprise everyone who think we will finish down the league. KK.

Going forward we will be ok but bit worried about defence . Jags and Distin aren't really suited to RM 's style of play, passing out from the back etc . Also to do this need someone dropping deep to collect passes etc, only have Gibson for that!

Well we can't have it all ways can we? And I am as guilty as many over this, we would all like to see signing of course, yet we rant about giving the kids a chance, I think really we have to trust in Robbie's judgement, bigger the squad the less opportunities for the kids to be given a go, so let's just go for it and see what happens.

As you rightly say we will surprise a lot of people.

FIFA 14 has Goodison Park. Can't frickin wait.

Personally i'm looking forward to the season starting, not fifa

Well said mate, I have FIFA the football game but that's all it is. A Game. People look far too much into it and end up believing it's real. Sad, It's nothing like the real thing! Roll on 15.00pm

16 Aug 2013 16:27:57
If this exciting news is Fifa 14 I'm taking Bill out with a whale harpoon first chance I get. Hopefully we have signed Cardoza or someone of that stature up front. COYB. Cheers Ed. Stanno

Cardozo*

And he's unbelievably slow and about 32, would much rather have Jelavic

He's 30. But I agree he is too slow. Would have loved to have seen him a few years ago when his technical abilities would more than compensate, but those days are passing.

I'd be over the moon if martinez wins at anfield first time wiv us. and moyes fails yet again coyb.

The away derby is quite a way away, consentrate on the near future

16 Aug 2013 15:12:19
Evidently David Moyes has said he does not have a monkee on his back for never winning at one of the so called Sky 4. He fully expects to break his duck this season.

By the way I for one am looking forward to this season more than I have for quite a number, maybe the School of Science is about to re-open. COYB, NSNO

Give it a rest about moyes, that ship has sailed

Oh come off poster 2, we're all dying for slippery Moyes to fail at United - it's all part of the fun!

16 Aug 2013 20:57:56
from irish blue can't login for some reason
moyes has been more consistent over his term at our club in league places than the rest
fair enough he did'nt
win any trophys but season after season we competed at the top and won plaudits from all sides
it was inevitable he would end up at utd.
maybe if more funds and serious investment were made
during his tenure he would still be here, maybe with some silverware
i only hope that martinez won't end up on deadline day
with felli and baines gone and no replacements
seems like status quo

Martinez is the present, moyes in the past, end of

Rooney is the past does that mean we can airbrush him out of our history? Comparing and contrasting managers is healthy debate and relevant as moyes was here 11 years and a big part of our club and history, he can't be forgotten just like flipping off a light switch.

Ed, I normally respect your posts but I think its a bit much to be having a go at people for being excited that goodison is on fifa. Unless u no their life story, u don't no enough about them to be branding it as sad and posting comments like what happened to a kick about in the park. I'm 23 And have friends who are very active and some that play competitive football but still like the odd game of fifa. To me it doesn't really make any difference but it's good that the stadium is being recognised. {Ed025's Note - maybe im a dinosaur mate..

Come on mate, maybe to you it is all exciting news but to a lot of us it is one hell of a let down. The fact that the club built it up for us all to expect something special is the sad part not those of you who enjoy a game.

For those of us from the dinosaur era, life at 22 was a bit different, home from work, throw your dinner down your neck (if lucky) Off to training. Saturday go watch the blues, Sunday get up at a stupid hour with a hangover, go have the crap kicked out of you in a pub league, Monday limp into work and start the whole process again. The club stating they were set to announce exciting news equated to us signing Peter Reid or some other future hero, not some virtual reality game.

As I said, to me it doesn't really make much difference. But just because someone likes to play a computer game doesn't make them sad and they don't deserve to be judged because of it. I bet plenty of posters play golf or go fishing personally doesn't interest me but I wouldn't think someone is sad because they like it. I understand people having a go at the club because they don't find this newsinteresting but I don't agree with having a go at other blues because they do.

Well said, personally I like to cross dress and go dogging at weekends but that's my thing and doesn't make me sad.
Quentin De'Vere {Ed025's Note - i think it might quentin.. :)

Even after the other 2 posts I have to agree eh . Though if wearing a skirt makes u happy who am I to stop u haha

16 Aug 2013 14:34:08
I for one is very happy that were on FIFA 14 as I've played this game throughout my child hood! So to me this is good news!

Rich84 {Ed025's Note - sad really rich...

How is it Ed? Just because you're old, surely its good as we are again being represented more

Why is it sad ed do you no how many copies this game sells globally it ain't are fault you a coffin Dodgers an still playing Alex the kid. AD {Ed025's Note - its just that some of you whipper snappers think its a sport!!!...get out the house, and play for a proper team in a proper league...instead of sitting at a desk, with a big mac in your hand...no wonder obesity is at an all time high!!.......rant over..

Ed am 24 an bet I weigh a lot less than you for Sumone who spends is life sat at a computer I play footy twice a week an go the gym nothing wrong with Sittin down for half an hour haha did I hit a nerve the fat coffin Dodgers sure u won't post that will.yeah AD {Ed025's Note - its fine mate..

Credit to you for posting it ed Ad {Ed025's Note - i may be a dinosaur Ad, but i do have a sense of humour mate.. :)

Am I alone in thinking Scott Parker would have been worth a 2m bid?

Completely alone - too old

We wouldn't of got him for 2m, pretty sure a few clubs were after him for about 4-5m

Just read that Moses is going on loan to WBA, what going on must be worth a shout.

2m. is reasonable. Scott can send us up to top five. But I feel he is another Londoner.

I can't quite gauge how we'll perform in our first truly competitive match under RM's management away to Norwich City on Saturday and I'm not sure about predicting the result. I'll be very pleasantly surprised if we keep a clean sheet though. Whatever the result or performance - good, bad, or indifferent - there'll no doubt be a torrent of knee-jerk reactions afterwards. I say, "one match at a time and let's evaluate at the end of the season". Once a blue, always a blue!

Agreed Sid, Robbie needs and deserves a season at least. Although I think we may be in for a nice surprise as I suspect he and the lads will hit the ground running.

Moyes is has already made a bad first impression on the Man U fans by failing to land The Cescquatch, Modric or Bale. He is desperate to make a marquee signing, and from all the forums and comments on articles I've read, they don't see Fellaini as that. They view it is as the cop out option. About 80% of them perceived his £23m clause was too much. Plus, moyes has declared Rooney is not for sale. If he swaps a player they all value at about £35m, for a player they don't rate at all, after declaring he wouldn't be selling Rooney, there would be huge fan backlash, something I'm certain Fergie is aware of. This deal does not work on so many levels that its impossible.

It gets better. A 15yr old kid at Barnsley has turned down a move to man utd.probably realised he will get loaned out til he 21-22 then be sold for 50 grand to a league 1 or 2 team.

This is an Everton site AB, please don't talk about Man United, Cesc Fabregas and David Moyes.

16 Aug 2013 09:22:11
Is Moyes so desperate that he has to encourage our players to put in transfer request to force through a move?

16 Aug 2013 11:59:08
Surely there is something the fa can do here or some rule is being broke if managers are telling players to hand in transfer requests

That certainly sounds like tapping up to me!

can't wait for the new season to start. I think at times this season we are going to be quite unpredictable. by this I mean I think some games we'll turn up, play beautiful football and wipe teams off the park. but then other times we'll struggle to click, get closed down quickly and struggle. personally I feel it will take a season or two, a transfer window or two, for the players to adapt to a new style and also for bobby to sign and get rid of players to suit how he wants to play. I am fed up of coming on here and seeing negative posts, although everyone is entitled to opinions. we still have the same players that performed well most weeks last season (other than a blip either side of xmas maybe where we drew too many games). ok so we only have 1extra player in the squad than last year but mucha and hitzlesberger were hardly involved, neville was slated when he played and played very little after xmas. and now we will see more of barkley and stones hopefully so that's like two new players. I for one can't wait for the season to start and although I am positive I am realistic and predict another 6th/7th finish but with many more goals scored and who knows another trip to wembley! coyb!
