I wouldn't get too excited, I reckon they will do well this season. Adam & Downing will be good signings. It doesn't matter how much they cost, look what they got for the crock Torres...
We will be lucky to finish in the top 10

Cart horses?so you wouldnt like carroll, suarez, henderson, adam, downing, in yr team, at least we dont finish a game with 10 men because we dont have enough players, ynwa,

You are the very reason people refer to us as the bitter. Lets concentrate on our own club. Even if there are no new arrivals we have great team spirit, a great manager and a host of young lads who would bleed for the badge. So lets mind our own and get on with it

Agree0

Yeh, but apparently he has impressed Moyes with his attitude and has done some work over the offseason. I believe Yak can be the striker we need, I mean he did it in his first season. You need to remember his injury was VERY serious and to fully recover you need a good 2yrs, not to mention the WC didnt help his attitude/mentality, but, he seems to have put all that stuff behind him now, and looks like he could do a job for us
Agree0

I'd rather have a 50% Yak than a 100% Beckford to be perfectly honest... but I doubt he'll stay.

I would be happy with a few loan signings namely donovan and sturridge. As long as the other key members of the aquad stay injury free then we can easily challenge for Europe next season.
Moyes's history shows he very rarely buys sh*te and if he has a limited transfer kitty then he is not going to waste it....unlike some other club not to far away that will spend it on any old sh*te........
Henderson - unproven
Downing - over-rated
Adam - A Rangers reject
and not forgetting the fat pony tailed Geordie
COYB {Ed025's Note - we can not afford to waste money...so david is waiting for the dust to settle, when other clubs have set out their stall..and made their signings, some clubs will have a surplus of players, they will be grateful to loan..or maybe sell guys who they think, will not figure much next season, to reduce the wage bills....hopefully chelsea will see sturridge in this light...and i for one, would love him to come. we all know the money situation at everton is dire, but we must trust moysie to pull a rabbit out of the hat..so that we can at least challenge the top sides..

Adam only looked good because he was in a sh*t team.
Henderson - anyone these days gets an England cap.
Downing - I could of been the player of the year at Villa last year.
Time will tell I guess

Ha ha Dunlfc - Baines was more consistent than Downing and OPTA confirmed he put more crosses in to the opposition penalt area. You can't produce your own kids so you buy them in - oh who was in charge of your academy at the time? Kenny Dalglish - go and push a wall.

So why can't we start well? In my opinion, for once we caused our own demise last season by not having a good enough strike force from day one.
We had quality and depth all over the pitch except for goal scorers.
We are in a worse position this season as two of our more experienced forwards are gone (or soon to be gone). We need at least one quality centre forward and we need to spend any loose change Bill can get his hands on to get one. {Ed025's Note - totally agree...great post

Why has this upset you??
He has, as he always has, told the truth and said it as is is. We are skint and thats that, so we cant afford new players. You dont buy a new car when you cant afford one, you just keep reparing it until something else comes up.
I am as gutted as the next season ticket holder but its life, were Everton and unless you want to stop being a blue then get use to it.

Heavily linked with German Evertonian, Lewis Holtby. Only 20, I think he'd be a very good signing and if that's all we got, I guess i'd be relatively pleased. {Ed025's Note - i would like it too...at the moment...id take heskey...only kidding ha ha

I think Moyes is a legend of a manager but one thing I don't get is why he always plays 1 up front so often and why he plays Cahill more as a forward than a striker.
Cahill is a great finisher and is probably inch for inch the best player in the air in the premier league. He's ok at holding up the ball but no disrespect to him, because he's one of my fav players and always gives 120% for the team, but he's no Zidane or Del Piero in terms of his distribution.
Why doesn't Moyes play him upfront alongside Beckford rather than as a forward, playing deeper?
Imo you either play with 5 in midfield to gain more posession by having a player who helps win more ball back (not what Cahill is really used for) or because you have a seriously good creative player who can open up defences with his passing and score with long shots from the edge of the box (which aren't cahills biggest strengths either imo).
Cahill should be used as an out and out striker. We're wasting his best skills playing him as a forward and I think he could score even more goals if he played in a more advanced role.
I also think Beckford plays better with another striker alongside him. That's how he was played at Leeds and it was partly why he struggled to get off to a good start last season, because playing upfront, on your own, when you're not used to it is really hard and a totally different skill to playing in a partnership.
I think Moyes can solve our striking problems with his use of tactics and players that we already have.
I think Yakubu is lazy but I also think he's a great striker of the ball and when he's "fit" and confident he can score for fun. If him and Moyes can put the past behind them and the Yak can put some more effort in I think either Cahill or Yakubu can solve our striking problems as I'm expecting Beckford to have an even better season this year as I think he's a quality player and has great movement.
If we can get a good left winger in, put Arteta on the right wing and play RodwellHeigtinga alongside Fellaini in the middle any team will find us hard to beat.

We havnt got pace in the side thats why he plays one up front i think moyes would love to play 442 but he hasnt got the players to do that
Agree0
Disagree0
A very good read, you have some excellent points and bring a bit of wanted optimism to our current situation
Agree0
Disagree0
I'm sure he normally is in the cam position but the reason he plays him up is that what real quality threat do we have upfront cahils the one wh gets the goals beckford gets the odd one Saha is never fit and when he is he is quality, anichebe doesn't get goals
Agree0
Disagree0
Cahill is absolute bollocks when he is an out and out striker, has done it for Everton a few times, and did it in the WC and was completely shut down against germany (then sent off). Cahills best attribute is his timing of runs and his aerial presence, if he is an out and out striker then CB's will man mark, but when he is floating between forward and midfield it is difficult to mark, thus he can make his runs unmarked and score. Agree with your thoughts about the Yak, him and Moyes need to sort s**t out becuase he is a striker capable of putting 15 in the back of the net in a season as he showe din his first season
Agree0
Disagree0
Personaly I would like Saha to partner Beckford.............. if he can stay fit
Agree0
Disagree0
Cahill is a good player but when he plays the forward alongside him doesn't seem to score - so cahill scores 1 in 2 or 3 games and the other guy gets nothing. We had a bad patch last season when Cahill was playing alongside a.n.other and it wasn't working. Then Tim did his usual disappearing act to play for Australia and we started scoring and winning. The other forwards seem to prefer playing together than with Tim. Tim arrived back expecting to be straight back in the team and was probably surprised that he wasn't - hence the comments about starting to put everton first. In my opinion we need two proper forwards who develop a partnership - like saha/beckford or yak/beckford or another+beckford. Cahill can still be good for us - but I do not see him in the first 11 if everyone is completely fit. He just doesn't seem to get the other forward scoring.
Agree0
Disagree0
I agree with you to a certain degree but i think the way moyes uses cahill at present is spot on an thats why he has already scored so much goals i think he gets the absolute best out of him.
Agree0
Disagree0
If he plays 1 up front all the time (even at home against crap teams) he's not a legend of a manager then is he? He's got no balls i'm afraid.
Agree0

Well Barcelona play with one striker and no one criticises their tactics 4-4-2 isn't all it's cracked up to be, you don't see the top teams being so rigid. Most play 4-3-3 or 4-5-1 nowadays, it's all about midfield. Take ur point on Cahill tho he is limited and won't be remembered for his passing game {Ed025's Note - but he will be remembered.....for scoring important goals..

Negative tactics at home against stoke, wolves, wigan etc cost us vital points last season.
