Hey ed just a thought but do you think that ramsey would be available if so how much? I mean he's only young but doesn't really get much of a lookin at arsenal and is usually played out of position in a rw or lw position wouldn't mind him at everton think he could be a really good player, and playing alongside pienaar who I think will sign jelavic Fellaini baines has to sound tempting to everyone especially with regular first team action on the cards or of not to buy maybe a loan would arsenal do that do you think or am I way off?
Blue D {Ed025's Note - he would only be a squad player with us i think D

Am I imagining this Ed or did Everton,United and Arsenal all agree a fee with Cardiff and he had the choice and went to Arsenal? Im sure it was Ramsey.
Joe EFC {Ed025's Note - not sure joe..

I'm pretty sure you are right Joe EFC. I think we did agree a fee along with the other clubs.

Hi ed have you any idea how many season tickets we have sold {Ed024's Note - Not sure, but more than this time last year, as evertonians realise we could be in for a very good season

Interesting fact for you all.. The season after we finished 4th we sold over 28,000 season tickets!
Not bad at all, hopefully this time next year we will be matching that total.. Maybe even this year :)

what we need are free transfers. sone aluko, steven naismith, steven whittaker and manuel fernandes. we also need pienaar back. this is the line up i this we should have
howard
whittaker jags jonny baines
aluko fernandes feli pienaar
naismith jelly
subs: Balázs Megyeri, hibbo, duffy, junior, barkley, vellios, castaingos
What a team!!

Hibbert is better than whittaker

Just because hes free doesnt mean we need Whittaker,I prefer Hibbo tbh.
Joe EFC

So gibson not even on the bench?.....grbefc {Ed025's Note - he would be a starter for me grb
Agree0

Wheres Gibson, Cahill, Hibbert, Distin, Osman and Coleman?
Agree0
Disagree0
Whittaker is gash, badly gash, so I would stick with Hibbo who had a decent season last season.
With that XI, for me you have got to include Gibson, we look much better with him in the team than without him (take a look at Wolves and Stoke games near the end of the season). I would push Fellaini up to attacking mid, Naismith on the right and slot Fernandes as a deep lying midfielder.

Just wondered why no one is looking at Sone Aluko? Hes also turbed down a contract with Rangers Newco and is a top quality winger! Free replacement for Pienaar?!

Look at some of his video's on youtube, I know its only in the SPL and yes even Jo looks good on youtube, but Aluko looks awesome, a less disruptive Drenthe, He'd be a bargain!

Are you Sone Aluko's agent ? Personally I don't think he is good enough for the Prem, which is why he left England in the first place.

When the like of Charlton and a couple of mls teams are after him then i think that really does give an idea just how good he is, he's not good enough.

I have always thought Evertons main problem has been that we havnt had an out in out striker who scores goal galor for us an now we have jelavic as well so now we have one .... But the only way it think jelavic can get any better is if he has a paced partner and this is why I think we should definitely try and get Naismith and aluko from rangers ...... Also not alot of people might now but Naismith is very very good in the air aswell and scores alot of goals with his head alot like Cahill :)

No, he's the Scottish Tony Hibbert

Tony Hibbert is a boss player for Everton, yes he may not be the best player in the world but he gives 100% every game and players like him are hard to get nowadays. Terry blue
Agree0

Yes but the point is you wouldn't pay money for him would you?

I agree with Terry. Not many people get past him.............

Naismith is the one we need as he is class, but whittaker is a good player as well and would be great on a free

Hibbo puts in some great crosses - he's not our weak point - that's right wing

Probably because he doesn't play for Liverpool and isn't called Ashley.

He was'nt on the pitch during the game u have to be playing to take 1

IMO he should have brought Baineson before the end to take a penalty.
Joe EFC {Ed025's Note - good point joe..
Agree0
Disagree0
I think we'd used all three subs by then - cos playing 4 4 2 meant we had severly knackered players - parker was gone - milner runs all over and was knackered - welbeck didn't do anything - half the team was just really poor - but yep - gotta have 5 pen specialists left on haven't you - ashley cole FFS - worst pen ever - and ashely young should never pull on the shirt again - he was completely rubbish

To me England had spirit but that was the only difference from world cup we are miles behind why does everyone keep saying we defended well as Italians could of scored 3 or 4 need to change the way we play and formation here is my team for next world cup obvious injuries could change that

What exactly did Johnson - Terry - Lescott do wrong..?
They are the sole reason we didn't lose 4 nil in normal time.
Rodwell spends more time on the phsio's bench than he does the field.
Wiltshire is lightweight.
Need a stronger midfield.

I woulda took Sturridge over welbeck any day of the week. I also would of picked that goalie in the Mars advert over Andy Carroll lol ( the bloke thinks he can tackle! I coulda sworn he was ment to be a CF )

Baines has been better than cole for a couple of seasons
Bez the blue {Ed025's Note - both good players bez, but for me, baines is more of an attacking threat..
Agree0

A. Cole best in world you having a laugh have a look at Lahm for Germany it was bad finishing why they did not score not cause of back 4 I have never seen a international defence get caught so many times with balls over the top 2nd division defending just have to face facts they are not good enough as for the post on wiltshire being lightweight we need to build our team around him he is the closest we have to a passing genius would not look out of place in Barcelona team
Agree0

I once made a bold prediction that wayne rooney would be in the England squad, by the time he turned 16-17 years old, this was when he was only 9yrs old. Now after watching Ross Barkley I predict he will be in the world cup squad 2014 and will be a major influance on how England will play there football in the future!..mark my words.
Agree0

No Terry is a class defender. Rubbish person but a top defender, we need change in midfield.

How come England's 70k a week merchants can't do the basic skills like pass, trap, control, keep the ball?
Jeez - I wish I'd tried for pro footballer - these guys obviously just don't practice the basic tight close control skills - all of the italians, spanish, germans etc etc can do the close control work - and ours are hopeless at it - ours can't tackle! - as soon as our guys get the ball the opponent just runs up and takes it off them - and when they've got it, our guys don't go close to them - they stand off and watch - god, it was like watching everton at their poorest early last season - do you think it's too late for me at 44?

The only people probably on 70k per week in that team last night are:
Glen J
Welbeck
Parker
Double your estimate at least for the rest mate.
Oh yeh it's never too late mate, Ive just turned 40 and still play like a pro, well at least for the first five minutes after that I am on the edge of death for 55 minutes (5 a side) and can't walk for three days.

Not really bothered about England to be honest, they put a lot of effort in to be fair to them but it's scary how far away the national team is to the top teams.
It was pretty clear last night though the tactics were wrong he should of went 5 in midfield and put a midfielder on Pirlo who was walking around all game like it was a training match to him. Parker man marking him with maybe Gerrard and Young in centre mid with Rooney on his own upfront
Agree0
Disagree0
Too many of our top teams are made up of foreign players givining no opportunity for England to produce a good pool of talent obviuosly the rooneys and gerrards of this world will come through anyway but we are suffering from having the best and most affluent league in the world to watch Im hoping the new rules that require a certain amount of homegrown players have a positive affect.

Watching the match last night on BBC
They spent half the programme interviewing
Ashely Cole and how great he's been.
Well last night the whole team were out
played. If Mario had some compusure it
could have been a hatful. As for Rooney
he only has himself to blame he was not up
the match speed due to his suspension.

Dont be bitter the lad is world class
Agree0

World class at what exactly ? It has been years since he worried international class defenders. In the Montenegro qualifier he got sent off because he can't cope with good man-marking. Against better defenders like the Italians he just looked woeful, as did all of the English attackers.
Agree0
Disagree0
Ive seen him in world and euros he definetly isnt wqrld class that means he would be in the worlds best team there is no way he would getin a side with ronaldo messi van persi inesta not to mention south americans any one who thinks he would is a idiot

Why is he not world class because he has not done it at world cup level nor as messi Rooney has done it at Champ league level can't help it he is in an awful side

Being our best players in this tournament isn't saying much. Gerrard was our only creative source, but he did very little. In fact he looked knackered, despite not playing a full season. I think his best days are behind him.
