What's going on with the pitch? Has BL cut back on the grass seed as well as signings!
Moyes ain't happy with it either, he said we're going to get it sorted because we don't play at Goodison for a whole month now.
02 Feb 2013 11:49:26
Moyes doesn't sound to convincing on staying to me what you think eds? {Ed025's Note - He will stay mate..
I think he is going to chelsea at the end of the season {Ed025's Note - hes not a big enough name for chelsea..
Yes defo. When person fans boo during games at his substitutions it's a sign for a manager that fans are becoming restless with him. They would never of boo'd a Moyes sub a couple of years ago.
I remember Moyes saying he would leave when the fans don't want him. Well some stupid fans have boo'd at his decisions in the last 3 games
02 Feb 2013 21:57:16
I agree Heitinga was awful today, but i'm not letting Distin off the hook today, because he was as bad if not worse, his defending was poor, his heading of the ball atrocious defending and in attack for corners, and as for his passing, well if that G. Boyd failed his medical because of an eye test, Distin should be playing with a white stick and a labrador. .
He was probably nervous because he felt he was the only centre back today. It's one position on the pitch where you need to know your mate has got your back. Distin didn't have that.
02 Feb 2013 21:26:00
Johnny scores against Notlobs and suddenly back in the fold and the centre of atttention. by christ Moysey did you not see enough on Wednesday night to get Jags back in middle asap!? Dreadful, plus a club who admits no money pays 3m on ' one for the future' well your futures at Chelsea Dave so can we see him play and soon please?
Stones was only 800k up front the rest on appreances etc
02 Feb 2013 21:14:59
Alright lads, I'm starting to get a little bit worried, not about the team, I still think we are capable of 4th or a Europa spot at least. My worry is that Davey Moyes will soon be managing Chelsea. Before everyone starts saying that Moyes would never manage a club were he'd be sacked after a few losses etc. etc. etc. (Up until a few days ago that was my opinion) just here me out.
1. He hasn't signed a new contract and despite him being one of the best paid managers in world!, if he went there, he would get a bumper pay rise. And everyone is motivated by money.
2. Benitez is terrible, the Chelsea fans hate him, Abramovich knows that if he brought in Moyes 90% of the Chelsea fans would see that as a positive move and get off his back. Also it wouldn't cost him a penny in compensation to get Moyes (Fair play?)
3. Abramovich clearly wants a rebuilding project at Chelsea, AVB tried to get it started but he got absolutely no respect from the players, especially the senior players. If Moyes walked into the dressing room he would get immediate respect from the senior players and that would emanate throughout the whole square, that would appeal to Abramivich.
4. Chelsea have brought in some brilliant young players over the last year or so, Moyes will know he can work with that and achieve his ambitions, and win trophy's.
5. He would no doubt have an open cheque book, something he's never had before. He must wonder what it would be like to work with that kind of budget.
6. For Moyes to take the job, he knows his reputation is so strong that he would be able to negotiate assurances that he has time to rebuild. The Chelsea fans are screaming out for stability, I think Abramovich would give it to him. Besides, getting sacked at Chelsea hasn't hindered the careers of previous managers (it's just made them a lot richer)
7. Above all, I'm starting to believe that Moyes thinks he's taken us as far as he can with our limit resources.
I really hope I'm wrong. The man's a genius as far as I'm concerned. I also believe that when Moyes does eventually leave, BK will appoint a new manager, then stand down as chairman. Kenwright and Moyes are a double act. He could never strike up another relationship with another manager like the one he's got now. I think he'll go back to being a fan.
Anyway, that's what I predict (hope I'm wrong)
Martin-efc
02 Feb 2013 22:47:20
Mourinho will be chelsea boss next season, if not then Hiddink
Degsy
I hope you're wrong too mate. However, I think Moyes is quite passionate about creating gems, not buying them. The man is not about money, he's football through and through. (His own wages aside). He's staying put sir.
Martin speaks the truth {Ed025's Note - he makes some goo points, but he wont be going to chelsea..
Good points them Martin agree with them although I just couldn't imagine Moyes wanting to go there.
Still think he will sign a contract. Maybe a smaller contract than usual. 2-3 years and I could see him leave for the German league, lots of ex players and people close to the club that I have met at charity dinners etc always say Moyes loves the German league.
MikeTheBlue
Moyes wants TOTAL control at any club he is at. The Russian interferes too much. ie he has sorted a few players eg Torres. He wants Lampard out. why in Gods name would any manager want that. can't see Moyes at Chelsea
02 Feb 2013 20:55:58
you didn't post my post about moyes sounding like he has had enough now? {Ed001's Note - that's because 025 is not about and it is not worth me getting involved in that kind of discussion. All it attracts is abuse from people who assume I am looking at it through red-tinted glasses. So it is waiting there for ed025 when he is about.}
02 Feb 2013 20:32:00
If Duffy had done what Johnny had done this week he would never play again
02 Feb 2013 20:16:20
ahh, the joys of being a blue, NOTHING surprises me with everton anymore and even at 3-1 down and only 20 mins to play, I wouldn't change it for the world. the game itself was fantastic (as all everton villa games are, always a very good battle) yes we battered them start to finish and felli, vic were very good.
jonny will be dropped against man united, and I don't think mirallas is fully match fit so wouldn't be suprised if moyes brought jela back in instead. my team would be
howard
neville jags distin baines
osman gibson felli pienaar
vic jelly
mirralas
oviedo
hitz
duffy
vellios
naismith
mucha
I don't know about you pal but I would swap having to come from 3-1 down with 20 minutes left to draw 3-3 against a team in the relegation zone for 3 points.
02 Feb 2013 19:09:22
I posted earlier about not expecting 3 pts it will be hard game how right was I happy with a point after that great character to come back would of lost that game last season so we have a mentality that we have to take points when not going our way look at it as a point gained on Chelsea arsenal back on our tales hopefully west brom can do us a favour tomorrow and grab a point or all 3 would be sweater but a big oppurtunity lost today still in there though and we may even look back at that point
We just made life hard work for ourselves by defending so badly, but there is no doubt we have team spirit and fighting qualities
Dave EFC
02 Feb 2013 18:19:51
Please please stop playing Jags out of position, we just keep getting punished down the middle. If Stones is good enough then bloody play him. And while I'm havin a rant bring back Barkley, we have to give these guys a chance.
We looked a lot more solid when jags moved to centre back when johnny was substituted
Dave EFC
Don't bring back Barkley. He needs experience & game time, which if we gave him at Everton he could well ruin our top 4 challenge as near enough every time he has played for us he has been diabolical. He has not had the same impact as Rooney and probably won't, so the Barkley-lovers at the moment are really confusing
02 Feb 2013 17:24:46
Thankful for a point having witnessed the worst display from a central defender I can remember ( and I can go back a long way! ). Unfortunately Heitinga has been culpable for all 4 goals we have conceded this week. Here's hoping we can get Jags back in the middle asap.
Shropshire Blue.
Totally agree why play jags out of position? its ridiculous, every time we get caught out with these tactics! Moyes got this one wrong
The two worst central defensive displays I recall were: (1) Glenn Keeley being sent off at home against Liverpool in November 1982, which led to a five-nil humiliation - and the end of his brief (30 minutes!) loan spell; and, I hate to say this, (2) Howard Kendall (moved to defence for the dropped John Hurst) away to Arsenal in October 1970, which led to a four-nil defeat as he couldn't handle their forwards in the air. Per Krøldrup was a contender, but he was consistently poor and I'm suggesting the worst (or least effective) individual matches. Any other oldies remember those?
Cowpat Sid
Events may have conspired agaist us in the transfer window, an made it impossible to bring players in, however, with sides at the bottom scrambaling to bring players in, we should have at least taken the opertunity to trim the deadwood and raise some funds, jonnhy should have been out the door last week.
I was in Glad end when rubbish went 4 up. worst mo of life
Sid, I was going to mention Glenn Keeley in my original post, but wasn't sure if Heitinga deserved the comparison. but then again. Howard was unfortunate as he was playing out of position. I really don't want to become part of a witch hunt, but Heitinga was playing in his preferred position and should know better. Having said that, if he should play again he will still get my full support, as will any player who pulls on the blue jersey.
Shropshire Blue.
02 Feb 2013 17:15:09
Duffy in for Heitinga, more experience for a young player whom undoubtedly will make less mistakes than this Dutchman, also scoring goals for the reserves. Thoughts?
Any one at the moment its not just his mistakes his ball disrabution is also awful, time after time he justs swings the ball up any where or his favourite the cross field ball from the back to pienaar the smallest player in are team
Johnnys confidence looks shot, surprised he didn't move in january
Dave EFC
Moyes is an absolutely clueless clown. He repeatedly played Naismith who's clearly not good enough, and only now seems to have realised how woeful he is. Oviedo was clearly a better choice. Then to play a small and slow centre half up against Benteke is plain obtuse. Surely any sane human being would have their best CB up against someone so dangerous. But not dour Dave. What he does to justify his salary is beyond me, as anyone worth their salt will employ half decent scouts to find good players at affordable prices. Anyone can bellow and scream at players from the touchline. Anyone can pick their best 11 players, apart from Moyes. He's a fraud and the perfect foil for our incompetent board. Sooner he sods off for Germany the better for all at EFC. He'll never win anything not because he has limited funds but because he's useless, clueless and negative.
Aflm, I suggest you don't know where to start because you agree with most of it. Every time Oviedo has come on he's brought a spark, pace and enthusiasm whereas Naismith has shown nothing. Absolutely nothing, he's woeful and not even you can defend him unless you're a clown.
Your the clueless one mate, get a grip will u
I couldn't understand his bringing naismith on for the last 3 minutes either? I mean can someone tell what the point of that was?
Its not about defending Naismith, I would agree that he has been fairly poor! My point is you have seen about 30 mins of Oviedo DM sees him everyday! Also he is a left-sided player and if he plays on the right and has a bad game all you moaners will say DM is an person for playing him out of position, as that's what people like you do moan and complain no matter what!
aflm78
It's not about moaning or complaining, it's about equal opportunity. Give Oviedo as much time as Naismith has had then you can make comparisons, not judgements. I don't believe in judging, that's down to a higher power than I, but I do have an opinion. I've never got on the players backs and am not about to start now. Give the lad a chance and if he performs badly he performs badly, he can't possibly play any worse than Naismith.
02 Feb 2013 17:14:23
Wow! Neville or Stones at RB when Coleman is out Heitinga is shocking. Jagielka is a top CB not a RB!
Dan1
I think oviedo would do a fine job at right back til coleman is healthy
02 Feb 2013 17:13:58
Heitenga yet again! That's two games in a row he has messed up! He got away with it last week but cost us 3 points today! On the plus side our attacking play is awesome creating so many chances just same old story of not finishing! Keeper did make some good saves though! Neville or stones at right back next week!
02 Feb 2013 17:13:33
Moyes got his tactics out of order tonight. Benteke strong quick lad so we play Heitinga on him. Distin should have played on him. Heitinga should not have been on the ground at all. The boy Duffy is so much better than Heitinga. Tonight if Heitinga was worth 3 million his value just dropped by 2. 99 million.
Aussie Toffee
PS Good comeback though.
02 Feb 2013 17:09:52
To all of you moaning about Heitinger. . Heitinger would not get a look in if Coleman or Hibbert were fit! Jags and Distin would be the central two. that's why we bought Stones too! don't understand how heitinger played so well last season yet looks awful this!
Degsypulford
I don't see why we didn't play Pip at RB or even Heitinga. He can do less damage there than at CB. It's worth even trying Oviedo at RB, then it means no Sheitinga at CB
02 Feb 2013 17:07:56
Even if Hibbert and Coleman are injured for the next game there is no way Heitinga can be played at centre back again. Soon as he went off Jagielka and Distin were solid.
Just put Neville at right back or even Oviedo! Really bad performance from Heitinga today, can excuse the odd mistake but at fault for all 3 Villa goals today
02 Feb 2013 17:05:57
Great character too come back from 3-1 down but should never of been behind in the first place! Heitinga was poor today and I never twist the knife on players but he can never play for us again, at least at centre back in my head I can think of 7 goals he has been at fault for this season and 4 of them in the last 2 games.
02 Feb 2013 17:02:58
Disappointing to say the least, had a great chance to jump above spurs and close the gap on Chelsea to two points but unfortunately left it too late. I suppose a point is better than nothing good spirit by the lads to fight back but just feel a few reinforcements would've sent confidence sky high, anyway we will move on and hopefully show our early season form and do the double over Utd. COYB
SydneyBlue
02 Feb 2013 17:01:16
Good news: we never gave up and didn't lose.
Bad news: dropped points when Chelsea lose; we cannot keep a clean sheet; Heitinga very poor yet again this season.
Concerned Citizen
02 Feb 2013 17:00:48
That's wot happens when ye don't make any January signings yes we pulled it bk to 3-3 but we should be brushing teams like them aside
02 Feb 2013 17:00:07
Heitinga, for me, is just costing us goals.

02 Feb 2013 16:49:42
To all you positive american cheer leaders, who think having a positive mental attitude and thinking that if you put a positive spin on BK and his rubbish. Now you know, the negative supporters, or as We call our selfes realists, now Know. Your full of rubbish. Losing to Villa at home is disgracefull.
Its was our time, and we have ****ed up.
Another one who is so happy to jump on the negative bandwagon that he doesn't even wait for the game to finish.

18 shots, 11on target and 2 goals. need I say anymore, yet Aston villa 8 shots, 4 on target and 3 goals! Jlaff
02 Feb 2013 18:39:08
clearly you made this statement before the end well done mate
Wrong mate. I was trying to make the point that yet again we needed a striker during the transfer window. as a season ticket holder I watch till the end and when I ain't able to. I watch till the end on t. v. but these statistics have to tell us something. we are squandering too many chances!
Further more. you missed the point. too elaborate again. I can't imagine any manager being happy with that conversion rate!
Where's your reply m8. you've gone quiet : -)
We scored three and had 21 shots, just a fact
Check your facts at the time we scored 2 those stats were correct, but again my friend you seem incapable of grasping the point being made. let me ask You this. If you had 21 shots on goal and scored 3 would you be happy. If you cannot understand this then please don't bother responding again. two words CONVERSION RATE. jlaff
How did we score 2 you plum it was 3 - 3 , no ones disagreeing we should convert more, I also beileve that some one who was online posting comments before the end was 90% not at home match, you keep posting from your bedroom sad act
02 Feb 2013 16:28:01
Oh my god this is so annoying losing to aston villa when
we needed to win to keep our top 4 chances alive and go ahead of spurs we lose to a poor aston villa side
EFCMike ( a very annoyed blue)
Embarrassing. Heitinga needs to be shown the door immediately. If we can't kill off teams like Villa we've got no chance of a European spot. Wouldn't surprise me if we got a positive result against man united but need to beat poor teams.
02 Feb 2013 16:27:15
Negative fans eh! That's why we complained about CM and a FWD!. it was obvious we needed that and now we have been proven right!. ooh but fellainis just scored!
No you haven't lol, it's one game. Plus I think you'll find it's a right back that we need, we've scored 2 and Jagielka's playing there at the moment. He's our best centre back! 3-3 anyways!
02 Feb 2013 16:21:11
Omg what's going on seriously heitinga needs to be dropped forever, would everton really wanna be in cl we would be shown up!

02 Feb 2013 15:11:10
Heitinga's found wanting again!
Absolute light weight and a liability this season.
Jag's needed in the middle, replace johnny with Neville at rb.
Fancy Smith
Fully agree, why does moyes have his favourites even when there crap. we don't want to drop points against villa.
Bluepaul
Well said. Don't even know why heitinga's playing, can't work tht one out!?

Same team as Wed but Gibson in for Neville (: ))

02 Feb 2013 14:08:21
see moyes had admitted we left it too late in the transfer window. that's not acceptable. dithering dave & bungling bill again
02 Feb 2013 14:52:31
Unsigned, poorly written, totally negative post by a non-Evertonian. He's entitled to his opinion, but so am I, & that's what I think! (God knows what he'd be posting if we were fighting relegation!)
Toffee Tezza
IM (&K)IT
Sometimes I despair of the attitude of some of our supporters who post here.
WonHungLo
He's allowed his opinion and iagree
I'm a preston fan and moyes was always known as a ditherer in the transfer market. cannot understand why clubs leave it till the last day to sign players? they have 31 days to get players. look at liverpool with sturridge. you do have to admit that they look a better team with him, i hate to say.
Whilst I am frustrated at the transfer window. let me just say. Tim Cahill, Peanuts, jelly, screech, lescot, jags, Arteta, yak (4 2 seasons), Gibson, mirrallas, Blaine's. I could go on, whereas the number of bad buys are nowhere near as much. let's not forget the lads he's brought through ranks, Ozzie, Hibbo, Rooney, Rodders, Coleman. . and on and on. I for one would love another 10 yrs with DM. jlaff
02 Feb 2013 13:53:15
There are still lots of players we could get pre-contract agreements with for the summer
Yer I out of contract, 55 but a true blue!
02 Feb 2013 13:47:37
Interesting too see moyes talking about our pitch?
Moyes said: "I'm disappointed with Goodison. I'm disappointed with the pitch. It's coming up. We're trying to play good football and it's not that great at times. "
Asked if there was the possibility of doing work on the pitch over the coming month, Moyes added: "I don't know. I've not even spoken to the groundsman. The groundsman's not said anything about it. Maybe that month will give it a chance to settle down.
"But it's not as if we've played loads of games at Goodison this year. It's not as if we've had loads of cup ties or lots of reserve games on it, so it's not had an awful lot of football played on it. " source, ESPN.
johnnyboy.
Hasnt spoken to the the groundsman! well go and have a word then you dope.
do you think alex ferguson would come out with a statement like that?
typical!
02 Feb 2013 13:35:28
its shame we only made 1 signing, but last year we needed to add to the first 11 this year we only needed to add to the squad, fingers crossed no more injuries and start to play free flowing football all the way to europe and see who comes in the summer. IMWT
02 Feb 2013 11:56:20
Jelavic to score today 2-0 to blues you heard it here first.
02 Feb 2013 11:13:48
Don't just think its 3pts in the bag today on paper we should beat villa but it will be tough villa are due a win and how often does it happen when you think they have no chance so let's make sure it's not today let's get behind team no matter how bad it gets the fans have the ability to help get 3 pts if we have to grind out the win moyes we believe in this group of players Jelavic to score today I have a gut feeling
02 Feb 2013 10:38:27
Seems like some of our 'fans' would be secretly delighted if we finish outside the Top 4, as this would give them some invaluable ammunition for their number one passtime. Billy-bashing! :)
Oh well let's just hope for 3pts today, so that we don't have to listen to them blame the collapse of the Fer deal on our failure to be the Villa! COYB!!
aflm78
We have every reason to blame BK, and the board, look at other deals, Ofoe in particular where is he, other clubs do deals what's wrong at Everton, maybe we are getting conned again, I do not think they had any intention of buying. Opportunity lost to push for 4th place gone.
Wrong site mate, you must have been redirected. I think the url you were looking for was toffeeweb.com/ though there is a minority on here whose favourite pastime is Billy bashing, the majority are on the other site.
Yer exactly mate the lads need to get a grip for gods sake were lookin at another 3pts today its not going to be easy its going to be a piece of piss not being cocky just confident in are squad because were everton and were amazing so stop bleedin moaning because regardless of the transfer dealings were guna have a belter season so start supporting are great club (this is for the boo boys only lol) coyb imwt. Fozza
Following Fer failing his medical and EFC unable to refine the terms of the deal to protect against the possibility of a recurrence, i'm pleased we didn't spend for spend sake on players who would not improve the quality of the squad.
I think the response of the management of FC Twente, to a degree, was commercially naive in the sense that if they had confidence in the fitness of their player, there was no risk in agreeing to back his future fitness for games.
Also, it could possibly affect their valuation of the player to future potential bidders.
What is also concerning is why Everton who run out of time in trying to sign Vadis Ofoe in the last transfer window didn't fancy him 6 months later?
Fancy Smith
02 Feb 2013 10:04:35
We have a first choice team that IMHO mostly has players just about at their peak. DM has been recruiting younger players (e. g. Stones, Green) and carefully developing players (e. g Barkley) who should come into the squad/team and replace the current (older) players when they're coming to the end of their Everton careers over the next few years. Sure it was disappointing not to get a couple of quality players in, but I, for one, trust DM to do the absolute best for our club. It was also disappointing not to have had the "Fer" money earlier in the window, but I trust BK to do his best to wring every last penny from wherever he can without putting the club at risk. A win against Aston Villa today is the next target as we move on. Once a blue, always a blue!
Cowpat Sid
And he also said he has been looking at some young players so hopefully in the summer we may see some players coming in
Ha. what colour sky where you live
02 Feb 2013 09:59:30
For this afternoon I would go with
Howard
Neville jags distin baines
Mirallas Gibson Osman pienaar
Felly
Jelly
Don't know why moyes opts for jags at right back and Neville in midfield, he's a great captain but if moyes insists on him being on the field then it has to be at right back
Wouldn't play Mirallas twice in 3 days with his hamstring and wouldn't start Gibson either.
We need ease Gibson and Mirallas back in. Last thing we want is them two out for a month again. There too important.
I really do hope Moyes plays Fellaini and Osman in the middle though. I'm not like other fans slagging Neville off but he does nothing in midfield if anything he weakens us.
Can't press the agree button twice

02 Feb 2013 09:35:53
We should smash villa today 4-1. ryan {Ed025's Note - it wont be as easy as you think ryan..
Keep Benteke quiet and we SHOULD win comfortably. Though he can always pull something special out the bag, he's the main danger. Stop him and we win. Can see that thrashing we've been promising to give someone all season coming today.
02 Feb 2013 08:33:54
Hope we get behind the team today. The west brom game's atmosphere for a night game was like a funereal
Come on guys let Moyes know we all want him to stay.
02 Feb 2013 02:16:54
Anyone know what is the first date we can recall ross barkley? {Ed025's Note - he only went for a month..12th feb..
02 Feb 2013 09:40:23
Clearly a bit of negativity about the transfers etc. Understand all the posts from fans upset and those playing it down, ie good first 11, 5th in league FA cup and so on. For me, after the dust has settled, my concerns are more to do with Moyes in particular and some of the key players. Last January we signed a handful of players and it gave the club a huge lift and momentum. I believe BK tried his best (as he always does) this time too.
DM is a master of being covert but for those fans who believe everything in the garden is rosy, its time to take your head out of the sand and read between the lines. For me, Moyes basically indicated 4th and/or FA Cup is the target. DM made some comments about reviewing his situation (contract) BEFORE January depending on whether the club can meet his ambitions for us to kick on (financially & signings) and his body language, comments since (uses Everton in the third person / past tense on several occasions) combined with Januarys lack of activity (despite their best attempts) point in one direction
Think DM will be away at end of the season and a few big names will follow him.
We will of course survive if it does happen, but I would encourage everyone to get behind the team and DM/BK and be the signing he wanted (12th man) it may be the last opportunity to see the great man at work or perhaps we can do our bit to help us get 4th and maybe change his views/key players that there's nothing quite like Everton. Up the blues!
Neil Paddock blue {Ed025's Note - good post neil...i still think he will stay mate..
We can call him back at any time but moyes won't play him this season
Moyes is on his bike. I'd bet my house on it. There's no reason for him to stay. His best chance of CL gone after the anti-climax of the transfer window and his best players will be gone in the summer. He's taken us as far as he can with the budget he has. There's no reason for him to stay apart from his wages. His negative body language and references to Everton in past tense don't bode well for the future. Close the door behind you Davey, it's been emotional but you've proved time and time again you're not up to it. Cheerio, and make it lively please, you're just not positive enough when it matters.
Are you serious mate? And replace him with who? Who else would work the wonders dm has worked. If dm goes it all the doubters will be wishing he stayed! Jlaff {Ed025's Note - your right jlaff, ..talk about a knee jerk reaction..

Listen fellas, believe whatever you want to believe, Fer deal and Negredo deal, true attempts to sign good players, or conspiracy by the board to hoodwink all of us to think they want us to believe they'll back the manager, but in reality they haven't got a penny to spend? Personally, I don't know the answer, and trust me, I was as downhearted as every other Blue that we didn't bring in a bit more quality. But the facts are we didn't, so lets not cry about it. We're one point off a champs league qualifying place with just 14 games to go, we're in the 5th round of the FA cup with a tie against a team near the bottom of a division, 2 below us. Now in my 48 years, 45 of which i've been going to the games, home and away, it has to go down as one of our better seasons, certainly now that we're in the world of rich Arabs/Russians. Yes, we'd all of liked a big name signing or two, but as I say, for whatever reason you choose to believe, we didn't get them. But we're Everton fellas, and we'll do what we've always done. we'll support our team through thick and thin, because we're real supporters, not plastic glory hunters, like some other teams we could all mention (a local one in particular ). So lets all get behind the lads later on today and hope for another 3 pts, and who knows? we might even get that champions league place which hopefully will change our whole future, reference finances and attracting top quality players. Bottom line is, to all Blues, this is the hand that life dealt us, we're Blue now and we'll always be Blue, so keep the faith, because our day will come again, hopefully, very soon. COYB!

Get a life some of you lot just cause we did not bring a top player in we landed a very good full back with huge ability nearly paid 8.5m for Dutch midfielder yes it was a serious deal but moyes nearly got a top player yes it's easy to just bring anyone in I am very happy with this squad it's the strongest it's been since moyes got here I agree we do need to add quality to push on again. We are in with a big shout at champions league position and have a chance with fa cup this team is as good as anyone's and if Jelavic starts to come good then I think we will get 4th but why does everyone say 4th is up for grabs the way Chelsea are at the moment they are not guaranteed 3rd come on you blues moyes is the special one anyone who is slamming kenwright moyes or the players then go and support someone else cause they run this football club the right way and the way the game is going and let's not forget the top players coming through at this club barkley is not far off and he his going to be awesome trust me then the next big thing will be George green
Great positivity.

Yeah I was pretty gutted we didn't bring anyone in yesterday. But we still have a good squad be it small!
Why would we need another striker? Moyes only plays 1 up front we have Jelly and Anichebe. Plus Anichebe is playing pretty well and starting to get a run of games, I'm sure it would of dented his confidence if Moyes would of brought another striker after waiting all these years to get in the team. Jelly will start scoring again! We are 5th for god sake so all cheer up!
Even though I would of loved a CM to come in :)

Hi Eds.
Given all the doom and gloom amongst a certain element of the posters on here, I would ask our fans in reality who would you change from our strongest starting 11 and name who you would of replaced them with in the latest transfer window.
Please keep it within a 10 million budget and keep it real guys.
