So sad to see blackburn end their 11 years in the top flight and hopefully that will never ever ever happen to us.
On another note does any one here rate pederson. He could be a potential target and I think he still has a few years left in him. Ed what do you think about him?
Blue kaz {Ed025's Note - i happen to like him haz..a couple of years ago he was hot property...and you dont become a bad player overnight..

just heard the yak is on his way back would you take him back?

{Ed024's Note - No

No, but still think he could do a job at a premiership side, but not us

Bez the blue {Ed025's Note - lower premiership though bez..

Right boys it's about time for a rant!
I post now and again, but I like to read others thoughts, sometimes laugh, sometimes I cry.....
so.......
First off, we need a replacement keeper, Tim's not going to be around forever! (Mucha, aint up for it!)
Right back - Hibbo doing well..... but for how long? Nevile is not a replacement! (Would love Richards - not going to happen. so.......)
CB - we got 3 good guys there, with Duffy coming through and Rodwell (a clear CB,) not much of a prob....
Mid - We need a winger on the right, (Adam Johnson?) - or anyone that can run at defences - (Coleman if he gets a grip.)
A back up for Felli and gibbo - anyone! - lets not f*** around, an unknown would be great.
Up front, we need a partner/back up for the fish, plus something different, maybe a pacy striker!!

Vellios, Baxter, Barkly, Guaye, are all still learning - Yes we've seen Brilliance in their play - but fuk me!! We'd see brilliance in my play if i got the chance!!!
the youth needs to develope (which is hard in this day and age)

Dempsy - great SQUAD player - but really a winner? has he won anything?
Hoilett - again, great SQUAD player - But won fuk all.
Rodrigez - Same again??
The list goes on, to name a few

Now don't get me wrong! I'm sure they could bring something to the team, But..... Is this who we're REALLY after??

I don't have an answer to our problems, but I'm getting sick and tired of (buy this guy, Sell that guy, if we had the money we could.....)

Lets be honest with ourselves - We're skint!! We've worked wonders with what we've got/had, or could afford.

If we BELIEVE We WILL Succeed!

Fuk me We've done it before, we can do it again!!

COYB!!

Gods Doctor

Apart from his size, I am not convinced Rodwell will make a good CB. He isn't great in the air or a solid tackler, but he can be a very good box-to-box midfielder if he stays injury free. {Ed025' Note - he is not the quickest, but has a good football brain, and a good physique...centre back written all over him for me..

if we did get taken over would you rather have a new 50,000 seater or redevelop goodison park to a 50,000 seater i would redevelop goodison park myself . {Ed025's Note - new stadium for me...new broom and all that.. but not kirkby

I'd get what I'm given. I have no problem with my seat and I've happily along with most Everton fans gone to every single home game this season and Wembley. A massive stadium thats spacious is just plastic. I wouldn't mind Goodison Being redeveloped, but a new stadium could take the Gwladys Street and Bullens type stand just made larger and cantilever to remove posts. However the Mainstand and park end would have to be re-thought to fit in.

In short, Re-design stadium based on Bullens and Gwladys street.

Hi fellow blues and ed's!

Ive seen on the rumour page that "we have been linked with a Russian takeover", now as much as i wish this was true, no one seems to know much about it. Apparantly he still has 2 months left on a jail sentance.........jesus, why would we want a criminal running OUR CLUB if it is true. Have you heard anything or does anyone know this 'Russians' name?!?

One other thing ed, are both 'ed024' and 'ed025' both everton fans. You both seem to comment a lot on the everton pages.

Cheers guys.

Everton Al. {Ed025's Note - me and ed024 are the everton eds al...this is our main page to edit because we are both staunch blues!, on the takeover rumour...take it with a pinch of salt mate!

Cheers ed. Much appreciated!

Fingers crossed on the old takeover front but I tend not to believe things until they happen (although I do get slightly excited! :D)

Everton Al. {Ed025's Note - so do i al..

Wouldn't really be that Suprised about the Russian, sure didn't kenwright nearly sell the club to a couple lads living in a bid sit in Manchester or something! So selling to a Russian in prison is probably a step up!!

Kurajan

I think anyone who is currently in prison would fail the "fit and proper person" criteria, come boys and girls it's not rocket salad!

Whoever does come in has to pass due dilligence which means they have the cash and infrastructure to run an EPL club and within that the fit and proper person criteria. So I think that one's a non-starter and scores 11 out of 10 on BS-ometer.

Big C {Ed025's Note - dead right big c...love the rocket salad quip mate..

Russian bloke is classed as a political prisoner by Amnesty International so would pass fit and proper person in that respect. However his fortune no longer exists as company ruined when he was imprisoned.
Probably has a few million stashed but suprised if it was enough to buy us.
Putin is supposed to be looking at his case 'soon'. Mind you Putin put him inside in the first place.

Can someone post a full list of every player we are being linked with at the moment?
These are the lads I know we are linked with off the top of my head:
Clint Dempsey-Fulham
Steven Pienaar-Tottenham
Jay Rodriguez-Burnley
Kevin Doyle-Wolves
Dale Jennings-Bayern Munich

I know there are more players. Can ye list them down for me? Would be appreciated, thanks.

Also linked in recent days: Olsson (W.Brom), Sigurdarsson (Lillestrom), Ryan Mendes (Le Havre), Mellberg (Olympiakos), Diame (Wigan), Perbet (Mons), Giefer (Leverkusen), Nikci (Zurich), De Jong (Twente), Dost (Heerenveen), Whitbread (Norwich), Hamouma (Caen).

Danny pranic, matt jarvis, dass bost (and some other winger from the same club?), luuk de jong, fletcher, nick powell. their the main ones we've been linked with anyway {Ed024's Note - It gets silly season, we will be linked with so many players, as long as we sign 2 or 3 then i will be happy

Agree'd ed, the only two i'm really expecting us to get is pienaar and pranic if i'm honest, and i'd be happy with that
