so chelsea won't win the cup and europa won't drop down to 6th place, we really really need to be in europe next season, arsenal and lpool hot on our heels, we really need 1 or 2 players to make sure we finish in a european place, the club, the players and the fans need it {Ed025's Note - im with you mate..
The Leeds debacle comes back to haunt us
23 Jan 2013 22:20:55
Hooper and diame would do very nicely indeed
23 Jan 2013 22:19:14
If moyes as got money to spend, I think he will do it on the quite one incase we end up in a bidding war and we can't conpete so we should expect transfer deadline day for deals.but if he pull sumutt out of the bag b4 then well done moyesy.coyb raynfromleic
I'm not expecting much from us this window to be honest...I'm thinking 1 or 2 loans (probably a creative CM) and maybe 1 permanent signing...I'm doubtful about the permanent one though. By the way, this isn't me being pessimistic, I'm just going by what has happened in previous windows.

Just a Question just discusing wiv my cousin if moyes ever did leave who would you guys want as a repacement.laudrup.martinez.or redknapp.peronaly I said laudrup
Laundrup costs money
i have said RDM
Adkins would be a decent shout at the moment..... No compensation to pay!.
Slaven bilic
Redknapp definitely then Big Dunc when he's ready and experienced.
ToffeeMike {Ed025's Note - redknapp cant work without big money mike, he would be very low on my list..
Laudrup Definatly..................
TC
Laundrup or martinez
Paulo di canio for me, young, very new stylish approach, very passionate and won't except less than a win, making swindon look like madrid atm
Martinez and laundrup are great footballing managers but you do ave to defend in prem..i would go for roy keane {Ed025's Note - on my list...hes lower than "arry"..
24 Jan 2013 08:16:47
Laudrup defended well against us!
Redknapp would nt leave London
Never understood the big deal about Martinez. Did well at Swansea but Wigan haven't progressed. Mourinho for me please...or more realistically Di Canio {Ed025's Note - di canio is a pot herb...not for me..
Frank De Boer from Ajax. Or Mr Zola
Martinez no doubt.
23 Jan 2013 21:49:36
What abt danny graham he don't want to be a bench warmer no more and wants out"moyes go get him put him up front wiv jelavic"think they would gel well.
23 Jan 2013 21:46:42
Hi fellow blues.diame and danny graham would make a great addition to the squad.if only moyesy had 6 of 7 mill to spend on um both'
Moyes doesn't have 6 or 7 mill but that useless p***k Green on our board does

I saw someone mention Vyrdra of Watford. Well he's on loan there from Udinese and a deal would be extremely difficult because the Pozzo family own both clubs and don't want to let him go but tv have reported that a club in the top six of the EPL want him along with a few other Premiership clubs. I doubt it would be City, United, Chelsea, Spurs or Arsenal so I reckon we could be in for him if not then I'm sure were in for a few strikers just to make sure we sign one which I'm sure we will as well as a midfielder before the window shuts although I can see it being on deadline day, thoughts Ed?
Joe EFC {Ed025's Note - I don't know much about him to be honest joe..
I haven't seen him enough to comment on his overall play. But every time I see highlights of Watford's matches I see him score - penalties, open play, free kicks, etc so he is more than a touch and score guy - or see his name mentioned often.
He's young too, 20, so he's time to adapt if needed (to the Prem that is).
I think he'd be worth a punt, so long as he doesn't cost a huge amount of our kitty - assuming we have dosh in there.
Keith EFC.
23 Jan 2013 20:20:33
Moyes stated some weeks ago that we might be able to do someting in the way of a couple of loan deals during the present transfer window. Why do people insist on linking us with expensive buys, when it's just not ging to happen?
Guess you have never heard of holding cards close to chest? why let everyone know if we have money to spend so they up their prices?
Well if were bidding big money for a player then they will know we have money lol
I think the recently published accounts back up the theory that we have no cash guys
Recently published accounts make it look like we have no money. So clubs know not to take the Michael. Given accounts are always for the previous financial year, I think we do have some money.

Eds the Craig Gordon on a free has gone quiet heard anything. Personally I wouldn't mind him and Sunderland payed 9 mil for him. EfcK {Ed025's Note - although a keeper would be nice...I believe our priorities lie elsewhere..
So some mug payed £9m for the guy? Big fee doesn't guarantee ability! Torres £50m...Carrol £30m...need I say more?
Give me Torres or Carroll any day. Both quality players, both we're bought for too much money. But still, if they joined our squad tomorrow, either of them, I'd be chuffed to bits.

Sorry lads, I know we discuss this every year! If Chelsea win the League Cup and finish in a Champions League place, who gets the Europa League spot? the Runner Up in the LC or the next highest finisher in the Premier League?
Jon {Ed025's Note - im not sure jon...but i would think the winner of the league cup would get a europa spot mate..
1st - 4th in the league = champions league
5th place in the league = europa league
Winner of league cup (or 6th place in the league if winner has already qualified for europe) = europa league
Winner of FA cup (or runner-up if winner has already qualified for europe or next league placing without a european spot if runner up has already qualified too) = europa league.
Normal rules at the start of the season are. Top 3 qualify for Champions League. 4th place qualifies for the qualifying round of the Champions League. 5th place gets Europa League spot, 6th place goes into a qualifying round to qualify for the Europa League.
If any of the teams in the top 4 face each other in a domestic cup final (FA Cup or Capital One cup) a extra place becomes available (7th place in the league)
Yes but IF Chelsea win league cup Ed and finish 3rd or 4th they'll get CL and won't need Europa. That will go to the next league position surely ?
If a lower placed English team wins the CL, then 4th place won't get CL place, but a Europa place instead - like Chelsea did to Tottenham. Imagine if we finish fourth - behind Man Utd, Man City, Chesea, but above Arsenal, and Arsenal win the CL. Only 3rd or higher is sure of a CL place.

I think everton are in need of a tricky little player with pace to play alongside jelly/fellow just to mix up a bit. Give the CH something else to think about... don't know who that player is tho, imagine the team
Howard
Hobb/Coleman jags distan. Baines
Kev. Felli. Gibson. Peanut
????
Jellyman
My god that would be sexual:........
Best Midfield we could put out. I jjust wish Moyes could see that.
All we we would need then is another super fit fast striker to run the channels, keep Jelevic in the Box and I think I would treat my Mrs to Sex After every game then
Instead of looking elsewhere, how about..
Howard.
Hibbo. Jags. Distin. Baines.
Coleman. Felli. Ossie/Gibbo. Peanuts.
Super Kev. Jellyman.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Excellent team, easily achievable considering we already own all of these players. Mirallas to provide the service jelly has been so desperate for, with him doing all the running and hard work (child's play to him) which puts jelly in the only position he should ever be in (on top of the last man poaching to death). I know this team would have us sitting in that final champions league spot, the only problem is having the ability for them all to be fit at once. We really need hibbo and gibbo back I think it really will sort all our problems out.

Vagnor love, was shxt hot a few seasons ago don't think he's the same player he was.he told moyes last time everton need to make him an offer he cannot refuse.but like I said that was a few seasons ago.
Its wagner not vagner, but it is pronounced vagner

23 Jan 2013 15:29:25
R rite ed couple of things mate first am with you and most blues when it comes to Naismith but he ain't half trying my patients now like I hope he comes good and a think he will but I'm starting to think it won't be good enough BUT while he is a toffee I'll always get behind him. second point are free flowing attractive football has dipped a bit lately compared to the beginning of the season and for me the answer is obvious the distribution from are centre halfs has been poor to say the least. And until they improve we won't get that type of football back. But after 22/23 games in a wish a could say a couldn't be happier but we really could have a few more points in the bag by now. A hate having a moan I always try and stay positive but I had to just get that out. And am not to worried coz wel be sound...LIAM!!
It's not the CHs fault - rather the midfielders who haven't got the confidence/ability/energy to make themselves available
I think we all agree jelavic form lately has been 10/10 for effort and just needs a bit of luck to get him going again I think he didn't have a good game against the saints but he is only human and probably getting disheartened by lack of support from midfield but not to worry jela we will have mirrallas and Gibson back now and will be able to hold the ball more and have more possession getting the midfielders up closer to him and having more options. Who would think that tactics could be so complex but the difference being when the two play its more like a 433 when they not its like 4411 with us going more direct to fellaini which takes out jelavic when you think about it how many flick ons does fellaini make to jelavic he holds the ball up9/10 on his chest and brings the midfield into play if that's the case we should play either another target man ie velios or play another midfielder and have fellaini as the main striker.
Robbie
Think ya need to look closer lad distan and jags both waste way to many balls osman and nuts both gave them a run to take the ball and it was literally just hoofed up the park aimlessly on about 10 occasions against southampton most even missed jelevic and felli was that the strikers fault was it aswell open ya eyes lad we all love the blues but if we want to mix it with the best we have to play like the best at times that will mean building from the back and we can't do that with the aimless balls one or to we can forget but the last few games there has been well to many. A do understand what ya saying mate a just don't agree. LIAM!!
Early on in the season jags and distin where the same cb and we playing attractive football eiyther credit to Southampton for not giving us time on the ball and pressing us or as above we didn't have the players available to keep possession and play our football.
Robbie
23 Jan 2013 14:12:59
Jelavic runs around like an headless chicken, no support for him up front.mark my words if he leaves to a club who playes 2 up ffront he would get an hat full of Goals, no money no backing from the board.no finishing 4th.HE NEEDS SUPPORT UP FRONT.fellaini got no pace drop him back and play 4-4-2 ffs
He does not run around like a headless chicken, he is being forced to go looking for the ball on the wings and then is out of position when a ball actually gets put into the box
23 Jan 2013 14:03:49
Heard Qpr interested in heitinga if moyes sells him for abt £4mill hopefully he will bring in a striker, but then again he always plays one up front.we will be lucky to finish 6th it we carry on playin one up front.
23 Jan 2013 13:50:53

I don't think he's ever claimed to be 'itk' has Ed025, but he brings us what he's heard and that's more than I can say for other sites. Talking about other sites...
The ed has never claimed to be in the know Nutshell, this is the best and funniest forum I have found.You do know it is called a rumours site don't you? There are some ignorant clowns out there. keep up the good work eds it is appreciatd by most of us (soz about spellin g etc I"m on my phone.
In ED25 We Trust!
Not once have I seen ed say he is in the know but the posts he puts on here are more reliable than any of the other crap posted on here
ED025 does not claim to be "in the know" but gets decent information. He told us about Jelavic way before anyone else knew. {Ed007's Note - And Naismith....

23 Jan 2013 11:36:41
Ed do you think the board will back Moyes in this window? {Ed001's Note - Bill will, he just doesn't have the money to give, the rest of the board will do their usual, any funds they provide will be in the form of loans they expect a return on. The likes of Green could afford to back Moyes, but they simply don't do so, it is about time they did!}
23 Jan 2013 11:21:37
Do not drop Jela. Let's not be fickle, we raved about him last year so we know he can do it. Won't find his shooting boots on the bench, play him at Bolton with someone right alongside him!
I agree, if a player lacks confidence why would you knock it more by dropping them to the bench?
I would still drop him, show him that just because his confidence may be down it does not mean we need to wrap him in cotton wool. He is a professional footballer he will understand, and if not his weekly pay check will certainly help him understand. We know he is capable of great things but right now he needs a swift kick up the a*se and dropping him would be the perfect way to do that.. All footballers should have the desire to perform better if they are downgraded to the bench.

why not scout chris woods at leicester, 21 years old, 6ft 3 and scored 6 goals in 3 games.
I like the look of Anthony Knockaert, also of Leicester, didn't Wood just go there from wba ?
23 Jan 2013 10:49:57
There's a lot of talk about our system being wrong and Moyes ruining CFs that we buy. Disagree completely. Each one of the CFs he buys is a good player but not great. Each in his own way plays in a predictable way that can be counteracted by good defenders. This is why they have a great first or even second season but do not sustain it.
The reality is we need to unearth an unpredictable young striker in the mood of Benteke who has the potential to become an AVP or dare I say it a Suarez
If we had found Benteke, forget fourth we would be pushing man united and man see for the title.
If we don't do somthing will finnish 7th
Who is AVP? Is that a cross between AVB and RVP.

We hardly even have room to rest players now, would play as close as our strongest as poss at Bolton. Bring the likes of felli off when the jobs done. Stick with Jela, he won't find his shooting boots on the bench..
Can't drop anyone against bolton, they will be up for knocking a prem team out of the cup
23 Jan 2013 10:20:33
I wish moysie would give Oviedo a run on the right wing instead of Naismith he has so much pace we lacked at Southampton
Hes a left sided player, stick peanuts on the right and oviedo on the left, oviedo and baines linked up well against cheltenham
Can I just say chelternam arent barca and he can play right
23 Jan 2013 10:13:15
jelavic is not scoring because of fellaini imo, when cahill was playing behind him it was like cahill was a playmaker were as fellaini is a goalscoring attacking midfielder or centre forward and that is why jelly is struggling imo.
Phil, COYB!! {Ed025's Note -
Cahill played almost as a second striker he distracted 1 CB which allowed jelavic time and space to get by the last defender! we need a CF and fast even Felli said he likes to play deeper
23 Jan 2013 09:03:18
Sick of this one up front.teams know what you we hoof the ball up to fellaini who contols it wiv his chest to lay it off to jelly, time for a new change of tactics if we want CL of europa league.why don't moyes play 4-4-2, other teams around us let's no forget are going to push on strong.he we do qualify will get hammered playin long balls up.think time as come to change tactics but moyes won't!!!!
When do you think kenwright last spoke 2 board members like earl about anythink Everton .do you think earl tells his secretary tell him I'm busy, it's a joke anyone can see now is the time to back moyes, moyes is sayin it by not signing contract, ex players are sayin it .borrow the money by personal loans they've got a few quid get back off next few years tv deal money .its plain and simple don't back him he's gone, followed by are best players, replaced by a sub standard manager and sub standard players .as a fan I don't get an as a business plan just dosent make sense not to back him now, he's proved what he can do
I think they talk but there's just no funds I'm sure our wages to the current squad are good especially Felli Baines jags Johnny etc sky money will pay these keep the debt in check and find some new business in the summer, but it is limited they won't risk putting the club in a position like so many other clubs, I'd rather be the way we are than be like Portsmouth or Leeds !
Don't agree mate. It's just abit of forward planning needed thers times when a business needs expansion ie are squad, it's not putting us in the Leeds or Portsmouth position, we hav never backed moyes in ten years .if we don't back him we lose him it's just abit of financial sense back him give us a real chance of champions league and bigger money income from that and bigger commercial and sponsor deals, if we don't sell Felliani .gt the money back or accept this is as good as it gets, Pompey and Leeds spent big over a two year period moyes is asking for nothing like wat they spent ., just abit of ambition I think he's earned that and we as fans deserve that
23 jan 2013 04:19:58
right i came on here a couple weeks ago and stated that i'd start anichibe over jela vic every day of the week nd got slated for it. i was at the soton game last night nd every time i watch he puts on a better show than jelavic who isn't doesn't look half as good. people's opinions? cjtefc {ed025's note - i dont know about getting slated...he has been getting a lot of plaudits from most of the guys on here..
23 Jan 2013 09:33:51
They should both start, and fellaini should be in midfield because without gibson we are to weak and slow, we improved the other night when fellaini dropped back because we had a midfielder with a bit of power to win the ball back, and then have the ability to keep it, I think neville has been brilliant for us, but if he's going to play it should only be at right back, if moyes has any money or can get a loan in I hope its a cm .

23 Jan 2013 02:54:38
one bad game does not make a season but there was a big wake up call against the Saints. Outpaced on the flanks at times and overrun in midfield, you have to ask about selection. If we are serious about taking a shot at champions league football, the bullet has to be bitten. Put simply, Naismith after two cruciate ligament operations may not recover and is not a sufficiently good footballer to make it without speed which he lacks at present. Neville for all his laudable character traits is not a good enough player for the standards now required. Neither should have come out for the second half.
we have to be analytical and admit there are even on a thin bench better options available. Not the biggest fan of Vic but he was our best asset when he came on, but there is a crying need to get Gibson back or get someone cohesive in the centre of the park who can allow the other guys more freedom to play. But to leave both Neville and Naimsith back on the pitch beginning the second half just amazed me.
23 Jan 2013 00:58:27
Been thinking if the beloved DM does actually us, who would replace him?? How about Phill's big brother Gary, with phill giving him a hand. Let's face it phills best days are long gone but still believe he has a lot to give the club???
