Use our rumours form to send us everton transfer rumours.

If Man U activate Fellaini's 22.5 mil release clause we could get much better than paying 20 mil for McCarthy like medel for 6 mil and Honda maybe for 5-7 mil and Moses or mcgeady for 8 mil and 4.5 mil much better than spending it all on one player ed? {Ed025's Note - i think if felli did go, he would be easier to replace than bainsie..

Believable0 Unbelievable0

I don't want a squad of average players

Agree0 Disagree0

Y havnt evertons tied baines down 2 a five year deal. will except felliani leavin but not baines. kenwright and elstone have said he's not for sale get him tied down. will be a total breakdown in trust if baines is sold.

Agree0 Disagree0

Don't particularly want mcCarthy. Yes he is young and has potential but I believe 17m which if that is we have to spend is too much! Anyone know any young strikers/defenders we can get?!

Believable0 Unbelievable0

James mcCarthy is a great talent he might not be worth 15-20 million now but in a few years he'll be worth double that i'd welcome him with open arms if it happens.

Agree0 Disagree0

He will never be worth 30 - 40 million!

Agree0 Disagree0

Also he is definitely not worth anymore than 12 million

Agree0 Disagree0

Fellaini wasn't worth 15m when we signed him but nobody is complaing about that now.

Agree0 Disagree0

Mc carthy talk is all incase felli goes, can't see us have 15m to spend

Agree0 Disagree0

I think without sales we've got around 8m left them plus sales of heitinga and guess we will have a extra 6m which is 14m then go for medel which would cost 6m and diameter who would cost 3m and finally bring in a creative cam like Honda for 5m or maybe rakatic.

Line up v Norwich -

Gk- Tim Howard
Rwb- Coleman
Cb-jagielka
Cb-distin
Lwb-baines
Cm-Fellini
Rm-mirallas
Lm-pienaar
Cam-Honda/Barkley
Cam-delofoue
St-kone

Sub-
Joel
Alcaraz
Barkley
Gibson
Jelavic
Anichebe
Osman

I wish people would get Honda out of their heads as he's not coming.

Agree0 Disagree0

Would love rakitic
bluekaz

Agree0 Disagree0

Gibson and osman both on the bench, good thinking considering they have been are best two players so far pre season

Agree0 Disagree0

You leave out Gibson and osman? Honda ISN'T coming. And who is diameter? {Ed025's Note - predictive text is a killer.. :)

Agree0 Disagree0

To OP. You say get medel and diame yet you don't have either in you squad. Terrific way to blow money.

I feel quite good about this season, we have already signed 3 players when was the last time we did that so early? I worried about losing DM but laugh at Manchester United going through what we did ie no early signings and frustration creeping in! I believe our young players are going to get a fair chance in the first team and excited that Barkley will have the support coaching and a chance to impress not get shipped out to the championship, I also believe more to come!
We are looking good per season and expect good things to come!

Believable0 Unbelievable0

We've signed 4 {Ed025's Note - 1 is a loanee..

Agree0 Disagree0

Apologies if this has already been asked and answered, but why is Antolin Alcaraz not in the 24-strong squad that's on the tour to the USA? Forget the jokes about him already being in San Francisco - on the prison island in the bay that has the similar sounding name. Is he injured or is it something more sinister? By the logic of some posters, his omission must be because he's about to be transferred out! Maybe we've brought in a crock - albeit on a free transfer - who's still not 100% following all those injuries while at Wigan.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Sid its on os he's got a hamstring injury that's why he's staying on merseyside

Agree0 Disagree0

Thanks - just read the article on the official website.

Inhale. I hate to say it but I'm very positive. I use the word hate because I like most people on here have been positive before. But, A few weeks away from the start of the season and we have kept our top players and added to the squad. Every signing we have made is strong. Kone, although not the world beater we crave is capable of scoring goals, and his competition will hopefully help Jela and Anichebe. In Deulofeu we have a top youngster from the worlds best academy and in Barkley lies yet another gem from the 2nd best academy. Both should play a big part and both are capable of winning a game on their own. Then in Kevin Mirallas we have in my opinion one of the most exciting players in the league. In Alcaraz we've signed a defender who can naturally slot in to make a back 3 and doesn't aim to lump it at every chance. Our two full backs are the most attacking in the premier league and in Fellaini and Gibson we have presence in the middle. Our defence last season was one of the strongest in the league and it remains in tact. I don't know what our best team is right now, but add Pienaar, Osman, Oviedo, Naismith and what we get is the best squad we have had for years. It looks like we might still have a bit of money to spend and there's players like Heitinga and Magaye who could make way to add a bit more. Our league rivals are all travelling ridiculous distances to play pointless friendlies and picking up injuries whilst we have spent the first 3 weeks on European soil, training hard on good surfaces with no jet lag. We head off on our Pre season tour fit and ready rather than fatigued and still in holiday mode. A word for our new manager. Conducted himself in a top class manner and I am so willing him to do well, because I would love this guy to become an Everton legend. The doom mongerers will point to the potential sales of Baines and Fellaini, they may still be right. But I hope we would never sell without buying replacements, and they would bring another aspect to look forward to this season. I look at the teams in this league and none of them scare me, we can show them all up on our day. Its the Crystal Palaces and Cardiffs of this world that will be the true test. I really believe we can achieve something under Roberto. Nil Satis Nisi Optimum. Exhale. Hank {Ed025's Note - great post hank..

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Great post Hank, it is nice to see others who have a bit of confidence in our abilities too.

As for Robbie, I am the first to put my hand up and say he was not my first choice, not against him or anything just not first choice. However, in his short reign he has said and done all the right things, appears to have the lads actually enjoying playing and has brought back that style of play that has been lacking at Goodison for far too many years. I too hope we go on to talk about him in years to come as one of if not our best manager of all time.

Agree0 Disagree0

Well said Hank. Not read your posts on here before. Look forward to reading more! NSNO

Agree0 Disagree0

Love it great post

Agree0 Disagree0

Good post except were are on are way to america so it kinda contradicts part of your post

Agree0 Disagree0

Nice post Hank.

Agree0 Disagree0

Great great post, and I believe in everything u have written, my belief is were only going to get better under out new manager

Agree0 Disagree0

Good post.

Agree0 Disagree0

I totally agree. and so want Robbie to well especially if he goes to Old Trafford to win the game!

Agree0 Disagree0

All this pro Martinez attitude is making me feel sick, look at his record 17-17-18. Great league positions he got at Wigan. Stop all fooling yourselves and support Everton allways, it is US the supporters that will give Everton an ok season, not Martinez. {Ed025's Note - what a load of cods wallop..

Agree0 Disagree0

Nice one hank

Agree0 Disagree0

All them other teams are back from there continentel duties and we have only just arrived in america, I would of thought the jet lag would be worse closer to the start of the league

I think Roberto is going to give Barkley a real crack at it this year I think it will be his time to shine now he should be in the team wk in wk out now but moyes never gave him long enough

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Not week in week out but definitely should be getting more game time

Agree0 Disagree0

RM comes across as much more of a "glass half full" personality than the previous manager who, whatever his undoubted qualities, gave the impression of being a dyed-in-the-wool "glass half empty" personality. Surely the positive attitude is much more encouraging and motivating for players, especially the younger ones.

Agree0 Disagree0

Spot on last poster. they are like chalk and cheese. one is a smiling upbeat enthusiastic the other is a miserable boring jock who I am glad to see the back of.

Distin is bown to say we don't need to spend'if he came out and said we need to spend. that means better players, and other players might get upset. am glad he said. martinez wouldn't have took the job if we didn't have money to spend

Hi Guys.
Just to confirm match V Juve is on at 4AM Thusrday morning. Sleepy head work Thursday me thinks.
Irish Toffee

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Is it on tv or just efc tv?

Agree0 Disagree0

So I believe Irish, although they could put that on the website rather than 8. 00pm.

The Vienna game was UK time so why have they put US time on for this one?

Beggers belief

Agree0 Disagree0

Theres a bit of a time difference between austria and los angelos, were do u think that match was played?

Agree0 Disagree0

Haha u think there both being played in italy ha

Agree0 Disagree0

I don't know how some people get up in the morning and make it to work, is it really that hard to work out the time difference? there is a wonderful site you may not of heard of called google that does wonders for info like this

Agree0 Disagree0

One player I would like to see at Everton is Bafetimbi Gomis. Could be a possible for a fee around 8.6 million. He is a very tall and strong with a great eye for goal, and a cracking header would be a great signing COYB

Believable0 Unbelievable0

He sounds like Nika Jelavic if you ask me

Agree0 Disagree0

29 Jul 2013 07:21:52
Do you have any info on any new players ed or is it just a hunch? {Ed025's Note - nothing concrete mate..

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Felliani and heitingha to go, mc carthy and centre half from espanyol plus a loan player to come in. any one who thinks we had 20 million to spend is wrong. 10 mill at best. Are transfers are like usual dependant on sales first. felliani will be the main player in this window concerning evertons dealings,. not avin a go at bk or anyone. this was how it happened under moyes, no way will it change under roberto

Agree0 Disagree0

Anyone else think ross is that good he will make englands world cup squad for brazil?

Its his year, this lad is going to be the most exciting talent England has produced for years.

Get on him for young player of the year blues. !

Ross is going to be the BOSS!

COYB {Ed025's Note - i would like to think so mate..

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Is that you Mrs Barkley?

Agree0 Disagree0

Okay Mrs Barkley, will do.

I would let Barkley and deulifolue. Train together because I think deulifolue. Would show ark levy more skills on the ball
