Hi Eds,

I posted some months back and wasn't
sure if you responded or found
anything out regarding the changes
in Ground safety that means all
wooden flooring has to go by 2013,
which I think we have in either the
Lower Bullens or the Paddock.

In a nutshell if we don't do remedial work to change the wooden flooring that area of the ground has to close.

I was hoping with you links in the club you may have heard something, or if there was a cunning plan?

Big C {Ed025's Note - im not sure on this one big c....but im sure that it will be addressed, i know sometimes the club have been negligent in some areas, but that would be sheer incompetence!...but the ground is becoming an issue, it needs sorting asap..

Not meaning to be pessimistic but is it really logical to think that even if we had the money for Dempsey that he would join? Were only 1 point above Fulham with one game lef and im sure that he will want one more big move in his career and while I would love that to be us I really cant it,anyway we have no money lol
Joe EFC {Ed025's Note - everton are a massive club joe!...fulham, bless their cotton socks, are not in the same bracket mate..

We beat Fulham 4-0 last weekend surely this is one reason he'd join?

Dont be silly Dempsey wont come, no one will. It will be a couple of loan signings the last week in August. {Ed025's Note - can you put a name to your post?.....doubting thomas will do!

I know we are much better than Fulham but I just think he'll join another club that gives him a big pay day hopefully not though
Joe EFC {Ed024's Note - He would be great for us and he would fit well into our style of play, he would love it at goodison, it depends how much moyes has to spend and who leaves

Gutted we couldn't finish Wolves off today. Thought the lads put in a decent performance all over the pitch, just maybe tried to be a bit to pretty on the ball at times. I was surprised that Faddy got the nod over Magaye as I thought it was the sort of game he could have had an impact on.
I keep listening and reading that Barkley should be starting ahead of the likes of Gueye and Faddy but to be honest after watching him come off the bench at Goodison a couple of weeks ago, I still think he would be a risk to start with to be honest just because he gave the ball away cheaply to often during his time on the pitch, although I would like to see him come off the bench more regularly now. Next season hopefully will be his time to make the impact we've been waiting for.

James

McFadden started because Moyes wanted to give him a chance to prove he is worth a contract, Barkley and Guaye will be part of the squad for years to come, McFadden could be out on his ass after next week, so Moyes just doing the decent thing and giving the guy a chance to prove his worth, or at least put himself in the shop window for another club to sign him.
Svenny {Ed025's Note - the latter i hope svenny..

Can you post pictures? {Ed025's Note - no mate..but you can post links to pictures..

Can we all take it by the lack of 1st team football Ross Barkley is getting, that he will be sacrificed at the end of the season to get some money in. To be honest you can't blame him if he does want to go, should of had more playing time of late. {Ed025's Note - i hope your wrong mate!..

Moyes will use barkley next season, he wanted him to get a run of games in the second string and then introduce him when his game developed, we will get a much better player when we see him again

Bez the blue

I think David moyes has been way to reluctant with youth this year and it's made it disappointing for youth progression I thought Duffy was great so was vellios now they don't even regularly break the bench. Ross barkley who is a very intelligent footballer and is really effective in the final third a place where we struggled in at the start of the season wasn't given a sniff of game time. Magaye Gueye has had his good spells and bad spells but he hasn't had a consistent run in the team neither has Coleman I know it's due to form but he's got to be building for the future by getting youth up to the measures of the premier league by exposing them to it I think Barkley and vellios have been really under exposed but it could benefit them from having a injury prone career like Vaughan, anichebe and now maybe rodwell. But still I would have liked to have seen a youth player have a successful break through season which none have had, hopefully next year the likes of Barkley Baxter and vellios will break through I honestly think Baxter is ready maybe he could do with another loan move but if you play him and Barkley together we could have found something very special both have very good link up play with each other and good in build up play. But I am quite disappointed with not having a real break through season for any of the youth players - blue kangaroo {Ed025's Note - its a very fine line you know kanga...if he plays kids , and we lose, he will get slated...if we dont play them he gets it in the neck...while he is the manager, we have to respect his judgement, he is in a far better position to judge than us mate..

Not a rumour but can anyone tell me if this is true. If Chelsea win Champions league they will qualify for Europe next season, Liverpool already playing in Europa league and If Tottenham also finish in the top 4 will we get the Europa league place from the FA Cup?

No. if chelsea win the champions league and finish outside the top 4 then they will take the place of whoever finished 4th (4th place will become europa league)

Will people stop coming on here about europe we cant get there no matter what now.Terry blue

what a fustrating perfromance, so much possesion and domination and we couldnt score, magauye come on and done nothing, denis same, i really feel liverppol will beat chelsea and move 1 point behind us, that means we have to BEAT newcastle next week or if liverpool beat swansea we could end up 9th (with fulham winning today) {Ed024's Note - I think it might be a draw at anfield which would mean we would be almost certain of finishing above them and fulham have to go to white hart lane on the last game of the season which is tough. I think we will get 7th

I hope so ed

Hopefully gibson and neville will be back next week to make the midfield stronger {Ed024's Note - Hopefully, they are a steadying influence

Really disappointed with Oman today, couldn't hit the pass, didn't show any conviction when in possession, he tends to leave a lot of his ability in the dressing room too often for me. Has good games but too many average ones! Hope to see someone such as Dempsey as a replacement! Possibly even Barkley next season if funds are an issue.

Chris {Ed025's Note - i have said before, that he lacks consistency...hes a good lad leon, but for me, will only ever be a squad player..

I've got a great new nickname for andy carroll - trigger.
In the very first episode of only fools and horses del boy introduces rodney to trigger and rodney asks del did he get the name cos he carries a gun, no replies del, its cos he looks like a horse - simples.

ps for those too young to get that one google roy rogers the singing cowboy.

Ed, any idea on why Vellios never features for us anymore? Dont think he's injured, and surely he deserves a place at least on the bench?

AJ :] {Ed024's Note - The lad is still young and learning, he will be back next season, we had reinforcements in January so we didn't need him as much in the second half of the season

David Moyes was in attendance at Crewe Alexandra yesterday watching teenage prospect Nick Powell against Aldershot.
The Blues' boss was joined in the crowd by Sir Alex Ferguson and his assistant Mike Phelan to scout the 18 year-old who has been turning heads in League Two this season with 15 goals.

Powell has 50 appearances already under his belt for Crewe and has represented England at U-16, U-17 and U-18 levels.

Original Source:

Does anyone know what position he plays
Blue kaz {Ed025's Note - hes an attacking midfielder kaz..

He is quality

We have Ross Barkley no point in signing Powell

Can never have enough quality there lad. I don't think we will sign him considering the other teams chasing him, but with Moyes we tend to adopt a sort of 4-2-3-1 now, and imagine a 3 in the future of Ross Barkley, George Green and Nick Powell, all have potential to be England's next stars, and would all be at Everton. {Ed024's Note - There are a lot of quality youngsters who will break through into the team in the next couple of seasons

Imagine this:
Davies
Browning duffy dier garbutt
Fellani Holtby
Barkley Green Powell
Baxter
Blue kaz {Ed025's Note - good side kaz..in a few years..

All good but Baxter, come on mate mcalany, forrister and hope are all better prospects than him and also how could you leave out the duffus brothers!

So so so happy the RS got done today! (I actually said straight away "that ball's over".) Makes it even sweeter that buck toothed burnt earred cheat is on the receiving end for a change! BlueTone

Hi ED
just been reading and i have not post in a while, but in the summer where not sure what bugget we have but our main focus is getting Peanuts long term, but if that happens i belive we won't buy any one else, but if we can go all out and get these two people i think we will have a great squad next year if this happens IMO

Peanuts (sign 3-5mil)
Hoilet (go all out and get him long term contract) Free But 2milin tribual for being under 21
rodallga (great back up for jelly) Free
Pranjic (great back up player) Free

And if we can't get Peanuts we should try and get a good winger/Attack Mid (with the funds we have)

i No it's only 3-4 players and the cost would be around 3-7mil depending on a deal for Peanuts and hoilett
and that would give us a all round good hard working squad
Y0rksh1re_blue {Ed025's Note - i like that mate..well done!

I think Hoilett will be going for around 5mil from the tribunal, has been at the club since he was 13. I personally think he will go to a top 4 club, but your right, there is no reason why we shouldn't at least go all out and attempt to get him, doesn't hurt us, if he doesn't come we move on.

He is the type of player, much like Dempsey, who I think could push us up to that top 6 and compete for Europe.

If that summer were to happen, I would be really happy, sort out our two wingers, as well as back up winger/left back in Pranjic and back up for Jelavic. {Ed024's Note - There are definitely interesting options in the transfer market for everton

05 May 2012 21:26:25
squad for tomorrow if we dont have neville or gibson?

Howard
Hibbert Jagielka Heitinga Distin
Osman Fellaini Barkley Pienaar
Cahill
Jelavic

Vellios, Gueye and Coleman all to come on?
