Ed are we really interested in lesscott he is over 30 now and we don't need players of that age out team is already ageing and if we where to get him £5m is way too dear £2m fair enough but we could get alderwield for £7m who is young and got a full career ahead of him

And do you know which midfielders we are looking at?

Thanks

Eddy {Ed025's Note - he would cost nearer £2m than 5 eddy. and i recon we will go back in for fer mate,..

Distin will proberly retire after next season and Lescott is left footed and a experienced player, he would be a great addition

I agree that Lescott would a good addition to our small squad, but I'd worry about where that'd leave Duffy - who maybe needs a season-long loan at a Championship side - just like Coleman at Blackpool a couple or so seasons ago. We're seeing the benefits of that experience IMHO in the performances of Coleman this season. On the other hand, if we're in European competition next season, we'll need all hands to the pump even if we get funds to enlarge the squad and Duffy would surely get more game time. Tricky one this, I'd say.

Tar Degsy

Im from nuremberg mate remember the uefa cup game against them 2008 good times

2 years in M�nster a long time ago mate, loved every minute of it

Degsy

He's on almost £200k pw at Utd. Our highest paid player is on £75k pw and we have no money to buy players. Who said the Germans have no sense of humour? :-)

Maybe he will take a paycut I just have a feelin he will come back but when I do not know

He'll be back soon, but it will only be to play for united at goodison

to my shame I have some some united friends. who are confident that fergie won't retire until his number 2 ie boss in waiting has worked with fergie for a full season. as there is too much to know to just take over. and there rumour is david moyies as number 2 for next season. they are southerners mind but fanatics and very confident it will be moysie. I wish david would just sign again for us and shut them all up. tp.

Unfortunately if david goes, its only what any manager like him deserves. He's done enough. Every year everton send out info about the season ticket renewals and this year him and neville didn't sign it. Shalke are looking very promising for champions league football and have been strongly linked with moyes and I for one am very happy for him if he gets that job. he's the biggest legend ever to have graced everton football club. Even bigger than dixie. I will always love this man till the day I die :)

Come on mate bigger than Dixie, I agree he is a good manager who has done well for our team with limited funds, before Mike jumps in I know we have not won a trophy in his years with us, personally don't think he is a legend, if he would have won us an FA cup then maybe yes.

If he goes then so be it, no one is bigger than the club, i'm split 50/50 as not sure if he will go or not.

Degsy

How can you say he is the biggest legend the club has ever had he has done a good job and if he does walk away then I wish himall the best in the future but he isn't even a legend at the club legends win trophies the real legends are your dixie deans, alan balls and howard kendalls

Surely, if that's the logic they're using, Mike Phelan or, indeed, Steve McLaren would be ideal candidates. Can't see Dave becoming anyone's #2.

Absolute b******s.

Moyes had the opporunity, whilst at Preston, to be Fergie's number tow and turned it down.

Moyes is a good manager but only our 8th most succesful when considering seven others have won trophies and he has not. Sorry to say it, but he is not the biggest legend to ever grace the club - Alan Ball World Cup Winner, Howard Kendall trophy winner as a player and manager and our most succesful manager. To name a few, I do concede though that he is a good manager and deserves financial bacing and the respect of our fan base. If he does go then I hope martinez doesn't replace him.

I was told 4 years ago that DM was being lined up for the MU post and that it would be the only post he would take in England. If he does go to MU as big nose's 2nd then I hope it works out for him. I can't see him leaving to be a No2 personally and fully expect him to sign a new contract at the end of the season. If he gets everton into EC or CL then I would expect him to stay for one or two more seasons before going to MU as manager. I think he knows he needs to better track record in Europe before he has a chance at the MU job.

I agree with all the posters who think that DM going in as an APPRENTICE manager sounds ridiculous, bloody too right!
If he goes there it will be to run the club by himself i. e.

Tactics picking the team and identifying players he wants to bring in and of course kick out etc.

Could you imagine Harry Redknapp, Sam Allardyce, Martin O'Neil, Tony Pulis or even CFC's current interim (they are all interims at SB btw) going there just to tug their forelocks and pay lip service to someone else?

Biiggest legend ever, what crap! Moyes has done well at our club with what he's had so far, but legend NO he isnt!
For what its worth I think he'll stay at Everton.
Mr Blue Sky

All united fans are southerners

Moyes won't be leaving I don't think, and especially to be a number 2 at United. Behave OP.

Its not crap lad. he's took us to a level wer we are really close to competing with the best. let's face it we were going down before he come. the last five years his respect as a manager has gone through the roof. ten years at a club, that fair enough hasn't brought no trophies but can't you see that a man who puts that much work into a job with a possibility that nothing will come out of it is very hard to come by. alan ball, howard kendall etc definite legends legend mate but moyes has done it all alone, and your right know one is bigger than the club but 'he is the club'. the glue that keeps it together
