alcaraz outstanding in the cup final and when I watched him when he played looked solid at worst. kone if we sign him got goals for a poor team. so can u imagine him in a team with the chances we create. give them a chance. because I think we will be pleasantly surprised.

Too right m8. bobby not going to sign people if there no good. they must have something about them. its not like bobby is going to sell jags because he signed alcaraz. just good squad member. and kone may be brought in for more pace up front as we know jelly is a cracking finisher but not the fastest. but as we haven't signed them we will have to wait and see
Agree0

Good points, was thinking that the other day, imagine, with the chances Jelavic fluffed last year, imagine if it was Kone, he would of been banging them in, especially as Baines was one of the most creative players. Shows how much we lack up front when we have the biggest chance creator in football and we has one of the lowest goals records last year in the prem!

Sick of people moaning about us signing Kone and Alcaraz. Kone had a pretty decent first season, better than Jela or Vic. Also do you not remember Alcaraz being absolutely solid against us in the FA Cup? We need heads to push for Champos.
Plus we have a pretty good record with Wigan signings. Baines.

So many posts falling out with each other over last few days, 'we should get him'. 'no he's cr*p' etc.
Lets just consider what's really important in life, It's sadly possibly never going to happen but with todays news of a new Maddy McCann investigation starting could you imagine her being found and as a 9 year old walking out at Wembley next May holding Jags hand as our mascot! I'm not a God Squad member but tonight at bo bo time I will ask me old fella and Bill Dean to have a word with their boss to see he gets that one sorted. If you know a blue Christian, Jew, Muslim or anyone, get them on the job please!

Who is really bothered about Southampton? Too many posts concerned about small clubs buying players for the sake of it and not the proper way, Martinez is looking for characters to suit his system and his ethos
There are too many people who think buying a load of players instantly makes them a top team, its a load of b*******, pop down the loftus road and see what they think of that philosophy.
Roberto will bring in players in due course, players that will improve Everton, and we WILL improve, some people need to decide what they want, lost count of the "we need an attacking manager" posts on here, yet we get one and people are on his back before a ball is even kicked, make your minds up.
Redmond has gone to Norwich, decent player but there is no proof we even wanted him, noone will complain when we go down to their place first game and turn them over.
Even if we don't, I pray noone turns on him after one game, Moyes was a saint to a lot of fans but there were numerous first day diabolical shows.
Have faith, signings will come in time, just you wait

ok not a rumour but for me RM has come out and said he wants about 4 players, GK, DEF, MID and CF. So if we are led to believe that Kone at nearly 30 and Alcaraz on a free come, then a back up Keeper, then the midfielder needs to be one hell of a good shout cause for me it represents a really disappointing summer lacking massively in ambition given the progress made over last few seasons. COME ON ROBERTO give us something to get buzzin about. Bluenose Will

All this we lost out on him, we can't afford that or this. Why not wait to see who we actually do sign, innocent until proven guilty. Why just because some random John is mentioned with our club and goes elsewhere do we jump to the conclusion we missed out? Give the club a break we will sign 2-5 players this summer let's just see who they are and more importantly how they play before we judge.

Demba Ba is pure quality a million times better than Kone

Demba Ba is an out and out goalscorer, nothing more, but the lad can finish like the best of em. Kone has a lot more to his game than Ba and would be a better fit for what Bobby probably wants.
The 2 of them together ( Ba on loan) with Kevwould be dynamite.

EVERYBODY CALM THE F*** DOWN! the transfer window has been open for 4 days, what's the hurry? Roberto has been in the job for only 4 days. he's only just sorted out his backroom staff.

While respecting Bill Kenrights position that he will listen to the fans regarding appointment of staff etc, and am sure he has the best interest at heart regards Everton FC! remember his career history is as an actor. Read into that what you will. Personally for a long time I saw Phil Neville as future manager and if had been appointed may have kept the back room staff together. Good for moral. would push for Neville as assistant manager now and appoint at next vacancy to manager.

All of the names that have been flung around are merely speculation and interest, nothing concrete.
Martinez has only been in the job for 4 days, and didn't have much time before that as he was away at the Confederations Cup as a pundit (and potentially scouting a few players)
The transfer window has just opened so expect at least another 10+ names to be thrown around before August 31st and cut Martinez some slack.

Has anyone noticed how all of the strikers that we buy always lose their scoring touch?. I mean, we bought Yakubu; started off great, and then after 1 or 2 seasons, he couldn't buy a goal!. same thing happened with Andy Johnson, James Beattie, Saha, and now Jelavic. I reckon a few changes in the coaching staff will do Jela and Big Vic a world of good.

I think neville likes the working relationship he has with moyes and we don't even know if RM offered him a post with us. So does that mean all the staff that went with moyes are traitors then? or should they just have waited to be sacked a sit on the dole as RM would not have wanted half of them?

I don't wanty rooney back to be honest, not because he plays or left us for Manchester United either, don't think he has the child like desire he had when he left us, you rearly see him beat a man these days and when a striker starts moving position further back its for a reason.
to add to that he's on far too much wages and would cost around 25mil.

If we signed Kone from Lavente you'd all be happy butcause he was at Wigan you think he's s****. Same as Alcaraz if we signed him from Brugge everyone would be buzzing. Get a grip just because they were at Wigan doesn't make them crap.
Dan1
Believable0
Unbelievable0
I'd say it's more down to fact that Kone's 30 this year, and Alcaraz is already 30. there's just a feeling that we could be signing players that are younger, but are just as good, if not better than them two.
Murf
Agree0
Disagree0
I don't understand the age logic, last summer everyone was happy that we were resigning Pienaar for 5mil, and he was 30? Everyone was willing to spend 15mil+ on Negredo in January and he is only a year or 2 younger than Kone.
For me, age isn't a big issue, if he can deliver on the pitch and make us better, I am satisfied, if Kone can grab 15 goals this season, and possibly next season, then it will be 5mil well spent.
Besides, I still think Martinez was given a bit of cash from BK, and has decided to use that little amount on buffing the squad out, hence him saying he would like 1 signing per unit in the team, and players like Kone and Alcaraz certainly make our squad as a whole stronger (I still think Kone would be the best striker we have at the club). Then, with the inevitable departure of Fellaini, he uses that money to really buy the young, top quality players (10mil+) to make an impact on our starting XI.
That is the way I am thinking about it anyway. So judge the man after the window closes, because you may be shocked what may lie ahead.

I think its more to do with 2 players costing 5 mil is the reason were after them, plain and simple

Don't think Kone is the player we need he's hardley prolific but neither are any of our strikers, plus why would a top prolific goal scorer come to everton? I think we shoul just back and support what ever Martinez does, let's face it were going to Finnish 6th / 7th because we simply don't have the money to compete with man city, arsenal, united, spurs an Chelsea!

Ironic springs to mind about your post you dope!
"Ed it may be spelling but we OUR talking about our club here so we should at least make the effort!:)"
It's 'are' not 'our' when we are talking about something. Some people make me laugh Ed. criticising people's spelling and then spelling something wrongly themselves. Sigh.

Al, I think you have that wrong. It's not the spelling that annoys me it's the text speak. Maybe the Ed's could cut that out?

Wow, if you are that bothered about grammar you need a reality check, bigger things to worry about than a bloody english exam on here, sad sad person

Not suprised nobody seems to be interested in johnny H I hope we don't still have him next year, petrified every time he was in defence
Believable0
Unbelievable0
He was player of the year the season before - but he needs games to keep sharp - he would do well somewhere else where he was a first choice pick
Agree0
Disagree0
He was playing brilliant up until he got ripped to pieces in the euros last year since then he's been garbage, and I know what u mean about being terrified when he plays, every tackle he goes in for you think he's going to cut this player in half and get sent off.
Agree0
Disagree0
I don't know how he got player of the year season before, poeple just walked past him all season he can't defend at all.
moyes reluctancy to play youth cost us points last year because no matter how bad he played he was reluctant to play duffy
