Listen. Stop posting rubbish that Baines or any other player is going and we are getting money plus another player. We don't want anyone's sloppy seconds. When have we sold anyone and got someone else as part of the deal.

We have done player swaps - way back. One example: in November 1972 we transferred David Johnson to Ipswich Town for £40K plus Rod Belfitt. Hmmm...I wonder who got the better part of that swap deal.

Howad kendall to birmingham, with another player! as part of the deal, which brought bob latchford to goodison!

Well remembered. However, I was thinking of players that other clubs wanted and gave us money plus makewights (no offence to those players) for them. With Latchford it was the other way round.

Hey, I'm an evertonian from LA and I'm in Liverpool for the week because I have family here but whatever. In Cali, the news is that lampard is coming in and Donovan is leaving. I just thought I would let everyone know as donovan loves the city and loves everton and can't see himself playing for another team.

more and more news coming through tonight that Baines is old trafford bound, so why oh why is it, that when the likes of myself put this rumour on this great site, that you get hit back with 'kopite alert' or 'go back to your own red s***e site'
so fellow evertonians stop defending the likes of baines, if he wants to go let him go and give him a rough time when he visits goodison park in a united top next season. {Ed025's Note - maybe its because you dont leave a name?..

Just sit in your seats and imagine this for a minute, close your eyes and picture the scene...
It's a cold, rainy night at Goodison and we are all putting our season tickets into the turnstile machine, we buy a hotdog for the little'un (may have to wait for 30 mins, but you do it anyway) and you make for your seats. The players are playing one-bounce on the pitch, Hibbert always the main culprit for letting it drop, the teamsheet gets roared over the tanoy...
NUMBER 2... TONY HIBBERT
NUMBER 3... LEIGHTON BAINES
NUMBER 5... JOHN HEITINGA
NUMBER 6... PHIL JAGIELKA
NUMBER 8... STEVEN PIENAAR
NUMBER 9... NIKICA JELAVIC
NUMBER 10... LANDON DONOVAN
NUMBER 14... STEVEN NAISMITH
NUMBER 20... MANUEL FERNANDES
NUMBER 24... TIM HOWARD
and
NUMBER 25... MAROUANE FELLAINI
And we win 2-0.....
Then we wake up, complete the first few lines, end up with just Naismith and lose 2-0...

Believable0

Fernandes definetly wont come
Agree0

I think pienaar and pranjic are the main targets, we are only looking at gosso at the moment, plus if we get pranjic, which i think we will he can play as centre mid, and a very good one too, so i wouldn't see any need in buying gosso, as we already have rodwell, neville as back up.

Pretty sure we will get Pienaar, Pranjic and Rodellega, and maybe an out side chance of Donavan but may have to wait till Jan.

Gosso may have only scored 3 goals in 123 games, however, this doesnt mean hes crap. Hes not a goal scoring type of player, plays in front defenders and by what im hearing always puts a shift in, high work rate. In my opinion, i think we should snap him up for as lite as possie. What u think eds? {Ed025's Note - i dont know enough about him to form an opinion..

Looks like the Gosso rumours have legs just seen it on the sky sports this is what Gosso had to say:
"I am very interested if there is an option for me in England," said the highly-rated holding midfielder.
"My dream has always been to play in the Premier League and prove myself against midfielders and strikers at the top level.
"Everton? They are a fantastic team.
"I know David Moyes likes players who put a shift in, so if he is interested in me, like I am hearing, that means I must be doing something right.
"Everton are one of the biggest clubs in England, but I have heard nothing official as yet.
"At the moment I am still in France waiting for pre-season to start."
What does everyone think,would Gosso be a good addition?

Did he actually use the phrase "...put a shift in..."? Pretty good command of English idioms for someone whose first language isn't English if he did :-) Did he say "all right, laahh..." when thanked at the end of the interview.

Baines and felly are going no were only for ridiculous money but it won't happen Everton won't be forced to sell Baines for 12m unless we had knob written on our foreheads we will bring peinaar and hoilett and quality 2nd gk I think with anichebe an mucha going out so all the speculation of them going is bull felly is happy at Everton and I can imagine Baines is to, who wouldn't?

Baines to utd is not a done deal and isn't even on the cards. Anyone who says otherwise is full of s**t. Moyes is buying pienaar to compliment baines not to replace his creativity. There is a lack of creativity in the side and any signings are being made to address that. We are slightly lacking and with one more finisher and the players being talked about and a bit of luck we could finish top 4 but European football is a must. Failure to achieve top 6 this season will see wholesale changes at everton. Coyb.

My guess at ins and outs
Ins:
Pranjic - free
Pienaar - 4.5m /undisclosed clauses
Dier - 1m (was previously on loan)
2 goalkeepers 1 young and an experienced back-up
Outs:
Yobo - Fen. 3m ish
Anichebe - 2m Wigan or Bolton
Mucha - 300k Ipswich Town
Donavon will return in January
Believable1
Unbelievable5
Dier has gone back to Portugal, not to return, wanted first team football
Agree0
Disagree0
Everton will not sell anichebe for less than 5 million he is rated at 6 million {Ed025's Note - by whom exactly?..
Agree0
Disagree0
Anichebe is not worth 6 million mate, at the very best and i mean best we might get 3 to 4 million { unless he goes liverpool they might offer 20 to 25 million }. Terry blue
Agree0
Disagree0
Anichebe scored with his head against Wigan in February, so Liverpool might see he scored with his and also with his foot against West Brom, and other teams, and then might, with a bit of luck, offer us £35m to partner Carroll!

Hey Ed025, I don't want to appear dumb but I've noticed that on the rare occasion you make a mistake you say something like 'sorry, me bad'.

Another former rangers player Sone Aluko could be ideal for everton. Winger who has potential who i guess we can get and also might not demand a high wage..
Another who i would think could be an ideal signing would be nathaniel clyne. Ive heard few things bout him. Possibly sign him?
Just my views nothing certain.. Ed what u think {Ed025's Note - good young lad here, i know it looks like we are trying to take the entire rangers squad, but frankly...i dont give a damn!, if we dont take him, someone else will..
Believable3

I have a feeling moyes is going to sign about 2 or 3 players we havent been linked with,he does surprise us at times with his signings { am like a kid getting excited }. We will also sign probally about 2 players we have been linked with aswell,exciting times blues. Terry blue

Maybe Aluko is worth a look o... {Ed025's Note - nice one..

Moyes seems keen to get his dealings done early and that will help our preparations for next season, I think we could have a good start for a change {Ed025's Note - lets hope so..
Agree0

He scored a few last year for rangers too I believe and looks decent.
Van der meyde 2m = flop
Billy 10m = flop
Kroldrup 5m = flop
Aluko free = definately worth the gamble!
SydneyBlue
Agree0

Aluko is simply not good enough. Average player should go to an average team, sorry Aluko but we are way above average, try that shower of Sh*tes across the park, because Downing and Henderson are below average so you should get ur game there.
Agree0

Alums better than downing and Henderson sorry tell me who you current winger is.. Who is it that signed Steven the goal machine naismith again for free lol even that's a waste of wages I'm an lfc and dons fan ( a dons fan is Aberdeen) the below average Scottish club team aluko was sh*te for and it shows how skint everyone are if they are considering yet another rangers muppet lol

You'll never win anything with youngsters, said Alan Hansen famously only to be proved wrong by a group who gave Man Utd a new impetus. Deciding when to blood youngsters is not an easy decision, but one would hope that Barclay would be given a decent run this year. Confidence grows through getting used to the team and the system. While it is nice to see new players coming through the transfer doors, its even more encouraging to see the youth policy working and seeing homegrown talent come through and shine. A scouser in the 2012-13 midfield would be nice. {Ed025's Note - that would be good mate..

Although the lad looks a great prospect, I saw Berkley come on as sub at the end of last season against Fulham I think?... and he looked out of his depth. The lad obviously has talent, but the pace of that game by-passed him. I am sure Mr Moyes is blooding him at exactly the right pace. I would guess a few more sub appearances and if he shines, then maybe start him against one of the weaker teams (if there is such a thing). It would be daft to start throwing him into games from the start only for him to lose confidence after say one bad performance. Remember his age and be patient.
