Howard
Hibbert Jags. Heitinga. Baines
Dempsey. Fellaini Donovan. Pienaar
Hooper. Jelavic.
Everton team 2012-13 .... Please

I follow Celtic as a second team and would love Hooperman to come to us...He's a great player, with him and the Jellyfish up front we could become a force to be reckoned with!

Hooper or naismith, who would you prefer ed??

Bez the blue {Ed025's Note - hard one that bez, to be honest, i dont know a great deal about either of them, but i hear that jelly likes naismith...so i will say him..

That team will do me son, thats a top 4 finish

FredNSNO {Ed024's Note - I agree fred, with the right signings there are good times ahead for the blues

Wheres Gibson? He brings the best out of Fellaini and is reliable to be there when needed

In my opinion are team next year is:
Howard
Coleman Jags Johnny H Baines
Gibbo Rodders
Pienaar Felliani Fenendes
Jelivic

Sub: Gordon Distin Hibbo Ozzy Barkley Big Vic and Naismith

A good but Cheap side

Y talk about Fernandez .these type of players r luxury players we don't need .every club they go 2. They end up gting loaned out .no more van der metes ,drenthes ,fernendez s .Everton passed that now

Still for me it would be hibbo or neville at RB, atleast in the big games anyway, coleman's defensive side of his game just isn't good enough (I hope he proves me wrong). besides Hibbo has been brilliant this season anyway...

ed?
INS:
hoilett:free
kranjcar:5m
Rodallega:free
Diame:free
Klasnic:free
owen:free
donovan: 8m or loan
holtby : loan
pienaar:3-5m
straq:2m
dempsey:9m
FEEDBACK PLEASE GUYS? {Ed025's Note - hoilett..no...kranjcar..poss 2m...rodallega..poss..owen..hope not...donovan..on loan jan...holtby..no ..straq..no..dempsey..no

In my opionion it would be stupid to loan Donovan back in in jan, Surprisingly it costs around 2million or something stupid to loan him in because of insurance (something to do with MLS rules), with not long left on his contract we should just try and buy him right out... Pienaar is a must... and 1 or 2 free's or loans would be good!
Toffeepidge

Hoilett-I'd have him but would cost due to being like 21 or something
Kranjcar-Yes, but for less
Rodallega, Diame-Yes
Klasnic-As a bench warmer yes
Owen-No
Donovan-Yes but not for 8m
Holtby-Yes on loan
Pienaar-DEFINITELY YES
Straq-Only on a free
Dempsey-Yes but not for 9m

(Yes means I'd have them, not yes it's likely)

Quite surprised to hear Tim Howard kept 16 clean sheets this season in all competitions! Our defense was solid all season, even when we were poor at the start of the season we didn't concede many.
Correct me if im wrong ed's or fellow blue's but i don't think we got well beaten in any games this season? Even the 1st half of the season we lost a 2 or 3 games 2-0 but most games we lost at the start of the season were 1-0 or 2-1.
The only game that springs to mind to me was Chelsea away which was 3-1 and the derby away 3-0 (albeit we had a shocking team out for that one)
Well done to our defense and Tim Howard

Just to let you know a few good stats here regarding Everton players.
Premier League Fantasy League top 10's

Goalkeepers

Tim Howard came 4th

Defenders

Leighton Baines came 3rd 2 points behind Terry and 12 behind Kompany

Midfielders

Fellaini came 9th

Strikers Obviously none of our strikers came in the top 10 but still good score by Jelavic of 97 points with 135 points being good enough to get you in the top 10 (Dzeko 135 points)

Just to rub it in no Liverpool players were in the top 10 for the goalkepper, defender and Midfielder category's only Suarez who came 6th in the strikers category with 230 points!

Thought some people who like stats and boring stuff like that would appreciate this info.

After last night im very optimistic about next season. Cant see the pool improving much, last night is a major blow for spurs no champs league money and they will now defo lose players and be weaker. If we can add early we will challenge top 5. Not that i like spurs but i would be disgusting if it were us outta the champs league. {Ed024's Note - Top 6 is one if we get a good start, maybe top 5, if someone can just tell moyes the season starts in august

There is so much more optimism than this time last year, blues can see we have the makings of a top team

Bez the blue {Ed025's Note - but we must not get complacent bez...we must still try to improve the squad..

Weve been optimistic for the last 2 years, and nothing, we seen qpr first game and thought, yes, we can get off to a good start, and nothing. wait and see if we can bring some additions, then get excited

Are Everton in the Europa League?

On the official Premier League website it says:

English winners of the UEFA Champions League who do not qualify through their domestic position go forward as Winners to the group stage, with the team finishing fourth dropping to the UEFA Europa League. In this case, the national association of the title-holder is entitled to one additional place in the UEFA Europa League.

Does this mean we are in? I thought so but am now very doubtful as there isn't any official news anywhere to say yes. {Ed024's Note - We are definitely not in it, but i think we will be in 12 months time

I can almost guarantee that if Liverpool would have finished 4th instead of Spurs, they'd have found some obscure UEFA ruling that would have had them playing in the Champion's League. They'd have probably already launched their appeal by now; together with a club video with hundreds of Liverpool supporting celebs whinging on demanding their natural birthright of European Champions League football and how they're being victimised...

I feel sorry for Spurs missing out because of them selfish idiots changing the rules in 2005- now there's a sentence I'd never thought I'd ever write... 'I feel sorry for Spurs'

No. I take the "one additional place" to be referring to the team who finished fourth (spurs) and would otherwise be in the final Champions League spot.

PaulEFC

Lol that first comment was so bitter it's unreal... what's it got to do with Liverpool?! ah

Because the rules changed after Liverpool were allowed in the CL but didnt finish top 4

do we have any chance of getting Manny Fernandes Ed? I always here about him turning us down but wasnt it his agent that made him go to valencia because he was apart of the third party ownership? {Ed025's Note - he was mate...not sure about now...but he would be a good signing..

Is that the player who was owned 3rd party ed when he was last at Everton? A good solid player i like him. RED RUSS {Ed025's Note - it is him russ..

Remember him against Arsenal surrounded by three players and walking out with the ball, classy

I to was on the Darkside's page...just to cheer myself up....Shambles, yep a perfect description..apart from Red Sh*te that is... the owners are talking about losing £50m a year,,,having to cut cost,,selling big money players saying the only way to maybe get a satdium is selling "naming rights" (a fiver to whoever comes up with the best name..haha) But the dillusional b*st*rds are still saying..yer...pep Guardiola for mamanger £100m war chest etc etc we'll be challanging for the title...ha
and they call us "bitters"...we just hate them...they hate anyone with a little success....jealousy jealousy jealousy
anyways lads if you find the "Viz" funny you'll find the RS Rumour page hillarious

Anfields new name is going to be called Never Neverland. Puha, now thats well worth a fiver.

Turkish Toffee {Ed025's Note - theatre of nightmares for me..

How bout 'the land that time forgot' for a new name seeing as they all still live in the 80s

Bum fluff arena, for me

Just to clear up, teams in the Champions League are as follows:
Man City
Man Utd
Arsenal
Chelsea

And teams in the Europa League are as follows:
Tottenham
Newcastle
Reds**tes

Shame we won't get in but a good start to the season for once could see us challenge for the top 5.

Keith EFC

Glad the spurs didn't make the so called 'champions' league.
That should make them have to cut their cloth a bit closer - and hopefully persuade them to get pienaar off their wage bill - they may just have kept him for backup otherwise.

I also do not like copy cat Redknapp - who just buys players he knows Moyes wants cos he knows moyes can spot a player better than he can

Fa Cup Winners
Carling Cup Winners
5th and 6th get Europa legue spots,
Chelsea won the fa cup and liverpool won the carling cup so europe will go to us cause tottenham were the other semi finalist and they got europe for 4th? On twitter everyone seams to say they think we got it ' Search in '' Everton Europa '' Not sure if we get it but we can hope something happens

20 May 2012 11:04:14
Spurs and Newcastle get Europe league through the league and the last spot goes to the rs as they won the carling cup
Blue kaz {Ed025's Note - cheers kaz..

Manny Fernades is now a free agent! We should get on that! Still only 27 can play anywhere across the midfield and would be great on the right wing were we are lacking a bit {Ed025's Note - im all for that mate..

He's not a winger mate he is a CM nowadays, and more of a defensive one at that.

Jc here

Just looked on the dark sides page for a laugh and at tristens comment (class). They are bitter as ever slagging Chelsea off, and Torres. Will they ever change. They need to realise they are no were near the team of the 70s and 80s. But it makes me laugh. They can't even get a manager and they are talking about buying world class players LMFAO. I will love to see the demise of that club after what we went through, but as blues we was there with are team all the way and now were on the up.
I will give there manager till December and the same players will get him sacked like hodgson, by the way were is he now oh ye England manager good luck Roy haha
