Jags will leave ... Don't be surprised if nobody comes in though ... Bill will decide Heitinga, Rodwell, Neville or Duffy can cover centre back .. The money Will go to the banks ... Believe it people - our debt is so bad we're more USA than Greece {Ed025's Note - if this did happen..there would be a lot of angry blues fans..

Our debt is not so bad it's about 40 mill tops compare that to man utd it's about a tenth now f*** off

Except they got huge revenue streams we got sod all

Just a comment to say how gutted i will be if jags goes Out of the four player's that can get us a good sale price (jags, baines, felaini and rodwell) Iv'e always thought that jags and baines are the two we would find hard to replace Sad to say it but rodwell would of been my choice to sacrifice if we had too.
On a positive note, maybe (if jags does go) heitinga could step up and be a big player for us because after all he is a international centre half and can be brilliant at time's.... maybe a regular spot at centre half could improve his consistency and we could use the money from jags to get a top striker, if he goes, i'd like us to spend most of the money on a top striker, thats all were missing in my opinion, we don't need midfielder's (maybe a pacy winger on the left) or defenders, just a genuine goalscorer and top 6 would be a definite and a competitive push at the top 4 would be a realistic target IF we had a consistent goalscorer
Paul EFC {Ed025's Note - great post paul..i agree with all that

If we'd have had a 15-20 goal man last season we'd have finished above the shxte and probably in europe. Whatever way the cookie crumbles it always comes back to our need for a striker. Gutted if Jag's went... could probably get away with sacrificing Rodwell...but without Baines last season we'd have been battling relegation, his influence in defence, creativity coming forward, his crosses and the goals he chipped in with were invaluable. Out of everyone Baines'y is our golden goose and we have to hang on to him. {Ed025's Note - nice post fella...we need to keep all of our best players if we are to contend this season..

Agree mate Baines was invaluable for us, he was immense last season. Assists 12 goals 7...... god knows how many other chances he created
Totally agree we were 8 points from spurs, we drew 15 games, take 5 of them games which were really tight with a top striker we would have nicked 3 points that's a possible 10 points, people need to realise we have great side on the verge and we all know and moyes knows himself (surely) that a 15-20 goal a season striker would make us a realistic threat to the big spender's.
All "football" fans would love a team to break the top 4 without spending 100-200 million, that's why everyone was over the moon when we did it in 2004, we CAN do it again, we don't need 5-6 player's like everyone is writing on here in my opinion, just a striker and maybe cover in other positions.
Can't wait for the season, im staying positive and hoping a striker comes in from somewhere, anywhere If it doesn't happen, then we will get on with it and get behind the blue men like we always do {Ed025's Note - great post mate..

ed who are u?.. be nice to think all this is sorted {Ed025's Note - im just ed25,,a friend to all evertonians..

just wanted to say that we will most likely get sturridge on loan because chelsea are trying to swap him + £20 million for modric
they are not going to swap him for rodwell or anyone else because modric is there main target if not their only target so they only let him go to tottenham if modric is coming the other way

everton interested in nikola zigic from my team, i hope he dont go, i want everton to do well next season

Any news today then Ed? I have to say i dont believe any of the things being said about jags going, i just cant see it myself. {Ed025's Note - only the usual rumours ..but arsenal think they are getting jags...i really hope not!..

Think about how good Moyes is at seeing a players potential ability.
Coleman 60k, now 5m+
Jags 4m, now 15m+
Baines 6m, now 25m+
Rodwell acadamy, now 15m+
Fellaini 15m, now 30m+
Gueye 750k, now 2m+
Barkley academy, now 10m+

Coleman - Rodwell - Dier - Duffy
Gueye - Barkley - Fellaini - Anichebe(pah)
Vellios - McAleny

We've got some great young talent in our squad, BUT the question is, will be sign someone or rely on this lot?

29 Jul 2011 13:01:24
Surely its important that if we are not bringing in any new players that we keep the best players currently in our squad. Jagielka is one of our best players, so why sell him to one of our rivals in the league? I believe that we have enough (without any major injuries) to be competetive this season and with the emergence of players like Barkley, Gueye, McAleny etc we can climb the table providing we keep our squad together

Everybody is talking about possible replacements for Jags if he goes. But why do we need one? with Distin, Johnny Heitinga, Yobo, Duffy and even Jack Rodwell who can play in that position there is no need to replace him. Just use the money on a striker and N'Zogbia. What you think ED? {Ed024's Note - not bad shout, Duffy - no experience and better at left back, Yobo going?, Heitinga is a liability? but Rodders would be good and Neville if need be, money should go on a forward

Ed024....you calssed jonny as a liability, Yobo goes missing for 70 mins of any game and If you remember when we first got jags we played him in DM, RB, CB and even LB and he didnt look a good buy.

If jonny gets a good run in the team in a place he prefers to play (CB) I think he do the job really well. I cant beleive that moyes prefers to play hibbert at CB instead of him.

Steve J (Blue Nose) {Ed024's Note - Moyse knows best or at least better then you or I, he must see something but a run in the team may just do it. besides not sure Jags will go anyway

Lets hope not, We havent signed anyone however we havent lost anyone that matters.

Steve J (Blue Nose0

Plus Distin is like 34 now, we should be looking to replace him

i posted yesterday that we shod keep jags and keep our strength at the back , however would i be overly optimistic to believe our real targets are not on the radar of other teams and bk n moysey could pull off another Fellaini deal? lets face it none of us saw a £15m deadline day deal for a relatively unknown coming did we?

During the eighties , when we were kings of all.... we had a very solid defence made up of no superstars just a good solid unit... we now are not far away from this and need to keep the defence as it is , the team need one or two catalyst type players that will spark the squad forwards .. we are not that far away ..... look at city millions and millions spent .....how did we get on last season against them .....oh yes we beat them ....
