I usually read this site constantly and have done for the last couple of years, so I decided to start posting, I just wanted peoples thoughts on the way Martinez uses the loan system if they are favourable towards it personally I like it but feel we need 1 marquee creative player or defensive midfielder to secure our hopes of 4th.

Also who would people like to see come in to the club in:

striker role:

creative midfield/winger role:

defensive midfield role:

be realistic I don't want any messi's or Ronaldo's ;)

Traoré for ST
Matuidi for DM

Hmm I don't know if Matuidi is realistic imo, but I do think we need tat next class player who can change games, because Liverpool have coutinho/suarez, Chelsea hazard/Oscar/willian Manchester United mata

I know it is un realistic of us to spend 20 mill on one player but I think for us to become a big force in this league we need that sort of creative player

Matuidi? aren't there many teams after him like borussia dortmund, arsenal even real madrid plus small clubs like chelsea and Man Utd? We have no chance

Do we not have the two best young game changers at our disposal in barkley and del boy. Who would you like to replace? I honestly think del boy is going to be around next season as barca clearly don't need him straight away with having messi and neymar playing in his role. I also wouldn't swap barkley as I honestly believe he is the closest england are going to get to gazza than we are ever going to see for a long time. Priority for me is getting a striker who can be arsed running the lines, solid enough to hold the ball up for our creative players to get involved and most importantly knows where the onion bag is. Not necessarily a 20+goals a season striker, but certainly 15 goals at least as we can ship the remaining goals required from our midfield and defenders. Who that striker is I do not know, but I'm sure our scouting network could find one. Afterall they did find coleman, jags, baines etc!

"small clubs like chelsea and Man Utd?"

Someone's a bit delusional, eh Swan

That's a bit harsh Mike, Man U a small club, though I'm fairly certain you were being sarcastic? Chelski on the other hand, I agree with. Awful, plastic club buying success and will always be small compared to Everton.

I was being sarcastic mate

For me unless we sign lukaku I would like finnbogason batshauyi Bruno martin hold on to delafeau another season cm possible cabaye if we reach champions league football out vellios gueye hitinga

According to Twitter Traore's Agent has said that Monaco will still honour the loan deal despite injury to Falcao. Hope this is true!

Now as everybody knows, I am always right. So here are a few predictions of what will happen within the next 6 years.

*Bill Kenwright attempts to change the name of the club to 'Everloan'. The FA immediately agree to it.

*Man Utd will sign Evertons brilliant right back for £15m. Tony Hibbert will wear the number 2 shirt vacated by Rafael.

*Man Utds bid of £26m for Evertons' England attacking midfielder is accepted. Leon Osman is delighted to join.

*Real Madrid sign David De Gea for £10m. Man Utds attempt to replace him with Jan Mucha is blocked by the FA on the basis that it would be unfair on the rest of the Premier League. Manchester United instead sign Tim Howard for £18m.

*david moyes finally wins a major trophy. OK, this one is far fetched and has no chance of ever happening.

Well Ed,
What's our budget like and what's the television money like at the end of season

{Ed025's Note - very healthy I believe fitz, but we have to be careful not to spend the lot, as we still operate at a loss..

things are quiet on the transfer front, this is going to be a bad time to play the reds no coleman, pienaar, barkley, delboy, lukaku is badly out of form, we need at least a cm and a striker for tuesdays game and I can't see it happening

23 Jan 2014 14:05:06
we need to use Saturdays game to get the team right,

Mcgeady needs a descent run out in the cup game, Mirallas playing as a second striker with Oviedo and Mcgeady wide

Cheer up Rob, all is not as bad as it seems mate
