my post not good enough earlier ed about fellaini being asked if he wanted to move to arsenal by a woman he met on holiday in spain. just trying to bring stories that might have some legs instead of some of the total ridiculous rumours on here. I won't report crap on here. cheers ed! you all do a great job.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Ahhh! this one gets posted of me moaning. lol. shame my first one didn't about fellaini wanting to go was'nt. {Ed025's Note - never seen that one jonboy..

Surely fer can't hint any more for a move too us! Sign him up: (!

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Hes hinting because he had one foot out the door 6months ago

This should be the first transfer of Martinez era, just what we need, whether we keep or loose fellaini to the buy out clause. If his injuries are as bad as we suggested they might be he could play half a season with ozzie playing the other half. For the pennys worth as well how good is the guy Douglas or Manga. I've seen we have been linked with a number of Cb's as well as Alcaraz and wondered if anybody knows much about these guys?

Agree0 Disagree0

Seriously?. I bet no-ones seen him play more than a game or two and he can't even make the u-21`s first team.

Agree0 Disagree0

If Fellaini leaves this summer. I reckon Kevin Strootman would be the ideal replacement

Believable0 Unbelievable0

23 Jun 2013 23:19:04
What is it with everton fans and thinking we can sign all sorts? He is wanted by man utd, chelsea, dortmund etc. Why would he join us? So if jela leaves we should buy cavani or if mirallas leaves let's buy iniesta

Agree0 Disagree0

He would get more first team action at Goodison. and if jella left we'd be lucky to sign Hooper with the money we'll get

Agree0 Disagree0

24 Jun 2013 13:03:23
No he wouldn't united want him to replace scholes and to partner carrick in the middle instead of cleverley plus he is wanted by chelsea to replace mikel, lampard, essien dortmund want him to replace gotze so gundogan can have space to roam i'm guessing, we have no chance of getting him whatsoever and the 8m being thrown around about jela we would get someone better than gary hooper maybe a loan for falcao or purchase 2%of the rights to lewandowski you never know with how strootman is being named by you

Agree0 Disagree0

Its ok poster 2. aaron is playing champ manager again. just waiting for him to come out with defour again. borrrrrrring.

It's always the same supporting Everton. Among the last to reveal the new home shirt. Among the last to sign our first player of the Summer. Among the last to sell our star player on Aug 31st. It's so infuriating at times. C'mon Ed, give us something. anything. ! {Ed025's Note - it maddens me as well tone..

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Anybody would think we have money to burn the way some fans go on.

Agree0 Disagree0

23 Jun 2013 21:41:26
Ed are your sources back from holiday yet? {Ed025's Note - yes mate..but they have not got a clue at the moment mike, as they have not met roberto yet..

Believable0 Unbelievable0

I doubt Roberto would tell the players his transfer targets

Agree0 Disagree0

Ed never said Roberto was going to tell the players his targets

23 Jun 2013 21:12:10
If fellaini does decide to leave, hoping he doesn't but we do have to open our eyes to the possibility, who would guys like him to be replaced with? We have to keep in mind that fellaini is both an attacking and defensive player for us. Maybe with the money we get for him we could buy fer aswell as give honda a good wage and a signing on fee. there's also the possibility of wanyama. Would you guys be happy with him as a replacement? Imagine this:433
Howard
Coleman jagielka distin Baines
Wanyama Gibson
Honda
Mirallas Jelavic Moses?
Blue kaz

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Why buy Fer and then not put him in your starting 11? play a 4312 replace moses with fer in the middle! we would still have ossie peanuts rossie oviado big vic on the bench ( personally think we need a striker would take bent for the cheap option like )

Agree0 Disagree0

23 Jun 2013 20:51:47
after watching john lundstram and ross barkley tonight, we really don't want to be signing to many already established centre midfielders as over the next 2 years I think these 2 could become key cogs in our team, i'd try keep everyone and sign honda not because he's quality as he goes missing a lot in big games but the fact his shirt sales in japan and how he'd boost our clubs profile in asia, he basically pays his own wages and makes us a little money too, i'd like us to sign two big solid defenders and a right winger so mirallas can play up top with jelavic or long, have the players met the new manager yet ED? {Ed025's Note - no mate, but he has spoken to baines and jags..

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Why baines and jagielka? {Ed025's Note - im not sure..but 1 is the captain, the other arguably our best player..

Agree0 Disagree0

Lundstrom and long along way off evertons first team, even barkley still not ready to start. England played Iraq not Spain. everton need proven players if we are to challenge top four.

Agree0 Disagree0

Just not getting it are you?. proven players cost money, Would you like to take a guess at what Everton don't have?

Agree0 Disagree0

Everton DO have some money, take your negativity elsewhere

Agree0 Disagree0

23 Jun 2013 20:48:38
ross barkley and john lundstram tonight are both just wow compared to the rest of the pitch, hopefully martinez will build around these two being the future midfield pairing at goodison, very impressed by both, lundstram breaks up play beautifully and barkley just seemed to be getting more and more confident from minute one

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Too much time on the ball in these matches compared with PL.

Agree0 Disagree0

Lundstram is a good player and would be good for the future. But ik not sure how you can conclude he was good in that game vs Iraq because he wasn't and that was mainly because of him being played out of position on the right side of midfield. He would look good or better when he is played in his correct position because he does have the attributes you spoke about but didn't really get a chance to show that in that game

Agree0 Disagree0

23 Jun 2013 20:48:27
Are we all aware that Honda is only free from January? Contract runs out in Jan so expect a small fee to be paid if we are indeed interested in signing him this summer. {Ed025's Note - thats right..

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Very similar to the Holtby/Spurs situation last January

HightownBlue

Agree0 Disagree0

Pay it, we need a decent midfielder and for me he fits the bill

This is an article from the japan times regarding honda.



BELO HORIZONTE, BRAZIL - Keisuke Honda hinted at a big club transfer this summer after Japan wrapped up its Confederations Cup campaign on Saturday.

Honda, who has half a season left on his contract with CSKA Moscow, had a solid tournament, although Alberto Zaccheroni's side lost all three group games to Brazil, Italy and Mexico.

Honda didn't say which teams he has been talking to, but did say opportunity is knocking. Reports out of Italy have the left-footed midfielder headed to AC Milan, a club he has been linked to in the past and one which Zaccheroni led to the Scudetto in 1998-99.

"I don't know where I'll be taking the next step yet, but I know I've got a chance (to play for a big club), " Honda said. "I have until August so I'll wait and see.

"If I go to a big club, I'll become an infinitely better player. The improvement I'll make then will be anything but minor. I'm the type to soak up everything and anything in my surroundings, and if I play with better players, I'll get better. It's how I've been able to get this far in my career. "

Do you know of any transfer targets yet, Ed?
GoodisonGeorge {Ed025's Note - lots of targets mate..getting them is the problem george..

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Care to name any Ed? {Ed025's Note - honda, fer, kone, macarthy, to name a few..all bona fide targets..

Agree0 Disagree0

23 Jun 2013 20:30:31
Not a rumour, but is anyone else watching England under 30's, Barkley by far the best player on the pitch. I know it's only Iraq but hopefully he"ll kick on now, let's hope rm gives him an extended run. Sav efc

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Yep, I was impressed with Ross too, played well. I have a question about Lundstram though, if anyone can help, am I right in thinking he is a CM as opposed to a wide player? {Ed025's Note - he can play either mate..

Agree0 Disagree0

Under 20s

Agree0 Disagree0

He's not a wide player that's like moyes claiming Naismith could also play on the wing. I'm sure he can play out wide but it doesn't mean that's his prefered position and he didn't look too comfortable out wide

Agree0 Disagree0

23 Jun 2013 17:58:23
Barkley and Lundstram start for England U20's tonight in midfield.

Good luck lads!

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Potential deals.

Turnbull
Alcaraz
Ireland
Ashley Williams (8-10)
Fer (7-8)
Honda (free)
Victor Moses (8)
Kone (if Jelavic goes) 6-7
Soldado (even though Ed believes that we will not sign him) (16-20)

Out: Maybe jelavic (6)
Heitinga (if not transfer loan)
Geuye (2)
Barkley (on loan)
Stones (on loan)

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Think Barkley and Stones won't be going anywhere. Hope this is Barkleys proper breakthrough season. And Stones on the bench as cover for full back or centre half

Agree0 Disagree0

23 Jun 2013 17:40:55
I believe that Martinez has a decent transfer kitty. If reports linking us with players like Ashley Williams are true, then I could couldn't see Martinez using the majority of his transfer kitty on a CB. Some may call me unrealistic, but I expect a lot of movement and a large amount of transfer money to be spent. We could use the likes of Fellaini as a financial safety net, and bringing in depth and some quality players could persuade our big players to stay.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

But he is one of our BIG players.

Agree0 Disagree0

23 Jun 2013 17:21:10
What are the possibilities of signing Fer, Honda and Williams? Would love all three

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Why "4" for Fer? I'd say 7 or 8 for Fer

What's with the 'lol' ing. What does it even mean? Are you sending the OP lots of love? {Ed025's Note - laugh out loud..

Agree0 Disagree0

Ah, right. Thanks Ed, but I fail to see what's funny or amusing about us not expecting to sign someone, or am I missing something? {Ed025's Note - no your not mate..

23 Jun 2013 15:02:23
not sure but think as the player is entering the last six months of his contract he can sign a pre contract agreement with another club. bit like lewis holtbys situation, just spurs paid a fee to get him early.

Agree0 Disagree0

I think your missing the point. If we want him now we will have to pay a small fee as I can't see the point waiting for 6 months, we want him now not in 6 months time.

Agree0 Disagree0

There are plenty of sites posting regarding this, due to his club playing the season differently to ours he can leave on a free this transfer window

Agree0 Disagree0

23 Jun 2013 13:39:28
I'm really keen to see what Martinez can do with some of the young talent we already have, that for some reason Moyes kept mainly in the Everton dungeon. Whatever happened to Apostolos Vellios? Surely Martinez will remember him, as he scored his first Prem goal against Wigan in 2011, as well as claiming a strike at Stamford bridge within silly time of coming on. He was young player of the year in 2012 and last I heard he was getting special training from big Dunc himself. And if he had only connected with that bicycle kick! Anyone else reckon he deserves a shot? {Ed025's Note - most of us i think mate..

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Given a go in the team, or a loan - a few teams are interested I think - for a few months I think he can become a really top player. He has the potential, he just needs the managerial support.

However, what happened when he got put in the reserves Ed? Or shall I say why was he put in the reserves? {Ed025's Note - he fell out with moyes over lack of opportunities keith, and moyes does hold grudges mate..

Agree0 Disagree0

23 Jun 2013 19:11:51
The lad has reason to complain anichebe injured again at the time and we needed a cover striker yet vellios was still dropped, love to see what will happen with hernandez or van persie at united because they won't be playing much rooney and welbeck track back constantly so van persie will be dropped (unlikely but wouldn't suprise me)

Agree0 Disagree0

23 Jun 2013 13:19:11
Why don't we go in for Aubameyang, young, fast and clinical what we need. He will come to us an will cost about £9m {Ed025's Note - im a fan..

Believable0 Unbelievable0

I hope he comes to us, assuming you're talking about Pierre-Emerick of Saint Ettiene?

Agree0 Disagree0

No the other Aubameyang

Agree0 Disagree0

The 9m bit is the reason he won't be in an Everton shirt.

Agree0 Disagree0

23 Jun 2013 13:01:23
Ed, I know you must be up to your neck in posts about Honda at the moment but do you know if there is any truth in the rumours that AC Milan also want Honda? And if so, do you still think we have a good chance of getting him? Cheers. {Ed025's Note - milan do want him, but he seems to prefer the EPL, so watch this space..

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Hmmm now happens when people say that

Agree0 Disagree0

Ed do you think there is a chance of us paying a small fee now rather than waiting for 6 months until he's a free as it makes more sense. Mike S {Ed025's Note - thats the most likely scenario mike..

Agree0 Disagree0

23 Jun 2013 12:35:32
Hi ed, realisticaly who do you think we could sign, far to many names being splashed about, personally I would like mcmanaman, honda, fer (if felli goes), a striker and a centre half. Any of them a possibility?

Blue george {Ed025's Note - yes george..all of them mate..

Believable0 Unbelievable0

23 Jun 2013 11:44:48
I would love us to get the clubs transfer targets. Honda and Fer. Then whatever Martinez brings in. What gets me though is the amount of people wanting Fellaini sold to generate more funds. I may be wrong but when Arsenal. Manchester United and a host of European clubs are interested that shows we need to keep him

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Couldn't agree more. Like a bloody epidemic on here sometimes. People obsessed with the money we would get, but were losing one of our best players.

Agree0 Disagree0

I think the reality is felliani is going that's why most fans are speculating on replacements. if we lose felli and keep baines, would be happy. keep both delighted but feel felliani will move. mc carthy and fer come in for fell I'd be happy

Agree0 Disagree0

23 Jun 2013 14:08:15
id love him to stay and build the team around him, but the problem is if someone triggers his clause there's nothing efc can do to stop him going, and knowing how sly arsene whinger is he'll do it with 2 hrs of the transfer window to go so we've got no time to spend the money, and that would make us weaker and them stronger.

I don't think Wenger is overly concerned about Everton sadly, so I don't really go along with that ste c

How many Everton players will be in the starting line up for the u20s tonight?if its more than3 there be a Everton player on for the full 90mis

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Im looking forward to this tournemant we have 5 or 6 players I watched u21s and they were awful the its starting to filter down from the top the way we play we need something to give us hope for the future looking forward to watching barkley play hope they play with freedom let them express themselves

Agree0 Disagree0

Not to sure 5 in the squad though!

Agree0 Disagree0

Big stage for the likes of Barkley, Garbutt and Lundstram to shine. don't know much about Long

Agree0 Disagree0

Long is a very good player, only 18 so has done very well to be selected for the under 20's, he scored earlier this week in a warm up game against uruguay

Agree0 Disagree0

What time the game and is it on tv

Agree0 Disagree0

19. 00 bst on eurosport mate. we should have 3 or 4 players in the team for tonight as well. the future's bright, the future's royal blue.

We are favourites to sign Honda on a free. We don't need to sell Fellani if we keep Fellani. And add fer mcmanaman to our midfeild. And sell heitinga gueye elly that would get us another 12 million plus some of tat other 15 m would be left over

Some fans are saying we should be going for the Champions League, but how on earth are we going to get there if we sign the likes of Di Santo, Alcaraz etc? We should be aiming higher than them

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Who said we have them lined up media just cone up with that cause of Wigan link alcaraz would be a free so it just beefs up squad with Duffy coming through as well I'm fed up of fans saying we need back up for defence which I think we do but if Duffy could not get a game last season then if we bring in too many defenders this market window he won't stand a chance although I take the cups very seriously I would like Martinez to try a young team a chance in the league cup these players like stones lundstram Duffy Kennedy long green let them taste the action otherwise the acadamy is not going to work we can bang on about how good our acadamy is but if they don't make first team it's failed barkley has to be a player we look to build around

Would love it if we signed Manga, Wanyama & Aubameyang, our first XI could be (with Fellaini, who I don't believe would go to Arsenal (your opinion ed?))

Howard
Manga Jagielka Distin
Coleman Wanyama Fellaini Gibson Baines
Mirallas Aubameyang

Make it happen Robertorrrr! {Ed002's Note -

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Nice team.

Manga 4 mil, Aubameyang 9 mil and Wanyama 10 mil. Total 23 mil. Would be affordable if we sell Heitinga (4 mil) and Gueye (2 mil). Also use wages of Hitzlsperger, Neville, these two.

We don't need to sell Fellani becoz we got 15 m to spend sell heitinga guy jelly what could give us 25m to spent. Sign fer mcmanaman. Get Honda and Alcaraz on a free for starters pus we still have money eft over to sign other players

I love the new kit people moan about white sleeves but if it was blue the kit will always look the same

The new kit has the new badge, which automatically makes it sh*te. Dress it up any way you like but it still has that abomination on it.

Agree0 Disagree0

Careful, I got slaughtered by a no name texter for banging on about the badge (it isn't a crest). I'll still purchase from the club to show my support, but more likely to be the funny t-shirts. I won't be blowing cash on anything with that crap on it
