Concerned by the idea of Pienaar effectively monopolising our proclaimed summer transfer kitty. Pains me to give Spurs any more than 3/4 million for him. Great last season but people forgetting he's 30 and held us to ransom for a move to the Lane. Put it towards taking A.Johnson from City. He'd thrive as a focal point for us! Equally comfortable on left or right. Linking him up with Leighton and keep Fellaini amounts to a good summer of business to me. Would also welcome attempts to offload surplus fringe players to loosen purse strings for any free agents who fit the bill.

Couldn't agree more lad.

Adam Johnson would be easily worth 10mil and his wages would be out of reach for us. Pienaar is a realistic target, is only going to cost 4mil (don't believe the 6mil jarg), yes he is 30, but technically he is outstanding and doesn't rely on pace, therefore could easily see him playing for another 4 maybe 5 seasons

buy pienaar(5/6mill), naismith(1.5), donovan(loan or 3 mill) and siggy!(sugurdason) (2.5 mill)

sell yobo(3.5mill), mucha (1mill), silva(850k)

total lost: 9mill+ with loan deal

total gained 5.35 mill

How much is going to the bank? We sell to give to the bank and get a little percentage of it

liverpool's last three managers have been an englishman scotsman and an irishman ...........whoeever said that liverpool were a joke

eryl efc

Brendan Rodgers is welsh

I thought he was from northern ireland mate ??.Terry blue

2nd poster - Brendan Rodgers is northern Irish

Gods Doctor

Welsh? He's an ulsterman, last I looked that's Irish!

And David Moyes is a Dutchman

He was born in Antrim in N.Ireland,, still makes him Irish! So what part of Holland is Moyes from then,?? Come on lads, your making us look bad to all the rs who are bored and read our pages. The least you could do is use your google search to confirm facts benfore you post them!

Kurajan

Think the swansea link may be the reason he though he was welsh.

I think that the Moyes being Dutch was sarcastic Kurajan
Bobcat

David Moyes isnt Dutch...Hes Albanian

all the stuff on this site is crap. we are linked with new players everyday but with no money. pienaar was great last season on loan as always but he is 30 and is only gonna get worse dont let harry run us dry of every penny on a aging player. start young with sigurdasson for half the price maybe a freeby or loan thats all we are gonna get blues, face it. harsh reality no point being in fantasy land forget holt,dempsey or anyone coming its bull. {Ed025's Note - well aint you a barrel of fun!..you must be the only blue, who is not desperate for peanuts to sign..

One word mate

PROZAC

Degsy

There is know way this lad is an evertonian or if he is hes a tool,pienaar is class and is only 30 so hes got about 4 or 5 years left in him.Did you go a game last year soft lad because if you did you would realise what pienaar did for us after new year,so if you dont like are pages go on ye own page you sad sad sad kopite.Tell me again how many goals and assists did downing have ha ha ha even tim howard scored more.Terry blue {Ed025's Note - love it terry..

I'm also not 'desperate' - I'd like him to sign - but if you go desperate the Harry's got you hook line and sinker - there are quite a lot of creative wingers out there - and if Harry wants 6mil - it's just becos he konws we're now a threat and he doesn't want us having any transfer money left over for anyone else - he knows we need a winger on the other side as well but awnts us to blow all our cash on pienaar - there's plenty of decent freeby wingers out there - let's not get desperate

his value to spurs is about 2m cos he aint gonna be happy on that bench if Harry dont let him go - and for any other team he's probably also worth about 3m cos he aint gonna be happy going to sunderland etc - so its a weird game of poker -
the thing is Harry knows that Moyes is a better manager than him and he knows everton would be well above tottentham with the same money available - so Harry likes to keep everton at bay with underhand methods cos he's scared that moyes would make him look a knob without the extra spendies harry gets - harry don't want a fair fight cos he know moyes is a better manager than he is - that the only reason he signed pienaar in the first place - and why levy is hacked off with him - he spent 3m on a player he didn't even want

Do one mate, eds do a great job with the info they get

Jc {Ed025's Note - cheers jc..

Just an observation, If God forbid we do end up loosing Baines, Jags, Or Heitinga I think we should raid some of the PSV/Holland squad. More specifically Ron Vlaar and Jetro Willems. Ron Vlaar has been getting in the Holland squad of late and has been a key part of PSV's defence this season, Would probably only cost around the 7 million mark. And Jetro Willems is only 18, but he has had 2 caps for Holland already and was quite impressive the last half of the season; If no one snaps him up now then I have no doubt he will move for big money in the future! If we did sell Baines and Jags/Heitinga and we bought these two for replacements we would also be left with quite a big chunk of money to sign reinforcements.
Toffeepidge

What about that John Guidetti he plays for City but was on loan at Feyenoord last season he had a great year,thoughts Ed?
Joe'EFC {Ed025's Note - he looks good joe..

i think we all know that Pieanaar is the main target, however this does not improve the sqaud that finished last season, just merely puts us back at square one. I'm with Ed in that i don't beleive people will leave unless its top dollar we can't refuse.
However if one is to leave i think Baines or Jagielka would have the least impact on the side. However i'm not suggesting either should go.
As for the free transfer markey, surely we're looking at players like Diame, Rodeallga, Steinsson, Gordon? All players who Prem experience and depth to the squad. Not suggesting we get all as theres no such thing as a 'free' transfer and we all know the predicament we're in. Lets not forget aswell we also have, fingers crossed, a fully fit Rodwell and Barkley next season who despite criticism both offer good options in a midfield.
We're not a million miles away rom europe as it is, so i'f be happy to not sell anybody and maybe a shrewed bit of business here and there to add to current squad and we'll be ok.
I realise this isn't a transfer rumour as such but i just think we need to be more realistic in our approach and targets...unlike some.
And if Ed is to be beleived we seem to have our first bit of business done in Naismith!

Naismith, pineaar and rodallega and that is job done for me, would cost about 7 million, which could hopefully be raised by the sales of a couple of fringe players and what is already in the kitty

Bez the blue

How would selling baines not have an impact on the team, hes our most influential player, he was top scorer before KING jelavic came so for us to sell baines would leave a giant hole in our team, I'd sell no one and bring a few additions to squad = happy days.ewefc

I can't believe that you think Baines leaving would have the least impact on the side (Jags may), without Baines Pienaar would be nowhere near as effective as he is. Baines is one of the best probably THE BEST player we have.

I wouldn't like to speculate as to who we could possibly manage without but if I had to pick anyone to keep then it would be Baines.

Degsy

Ed 25 how have you not quoted anything regarding the original quote stating Baines and least impact. Guessing you didnt post the quote.

Degsy {Ed001's Note - I would have had to say something too, Baines is probably the closest thing to an irreplaceable player Everton has. There simply is no one at the club who could play left back at even a tenth of his level. Actually, thinking about it, I am hard pressed to think of many left backs in the world who could provide what he does. One of the most underrated players in the country, for me.}

Cheers 001, always nice to get some praise from a Koppite lol

Degsy {Ed025's Note - i did not post that one degsy...another ed did..you know my feelings mate, i dont want anyone to leave..except the usual suspects..

Thought as much Ed

How confident of Naismith coming are you Ed? Seen on sky sports they rejected a bid from west Brom and west ham are interested but he said he wants to stay put, you still confident he'll be wearing the royal blue of Everton next year and not that of rangers? Oh and on the same note, is it me or are west ham in for everyone we are, Sam allardyce becoming the new Harry redknapp since he's got a bit of money!

ToffeeBlue {Ed024's Note - Still confident mate, sometimes things take a bit longer to be completed

We don't really know who we are in for, its all just speculation until we hear something from the club, so Big sam is entitled to go for anyone he likes. There will always be several clubs going for the few decent players on the market.

Villareal have been relegated is rossi available and how much would be good partner for jelavic.. thoughts ?

Robbie

There will be top 4 clubs after him thats for sure, he's wage will be too big I think, and even if its not he's price tag will be... Maybe if we sell first but i'd rather that not happen

1. Out for 6 months
2. Top Italian clubs want to take a gamble (Napoli, Roma etc.)
3. His wages are whey too much for Everton's liking
