Emmanuel Ebobuo
3mil. Good player, great guy. Shudda signed him.

Like him too. good player.
Mass cull at arsenal though...eboue, Vela, fabregas, nasri, bendtner, clichy, denilson...gone
3 players in...2 won't play.
Madness

I've always rated him. He's good at RB and RW. Pacey too.
On that note... wouldn't he have been a good signing for us at only £3 million?

The question isn't is he better than what we've got while Coleman and Gueye are injured but is he better than what we've got with a fully fit squad and is he better than what else we can buy for that price?

Him at RW or Anichebe?

Him and Obertan for a total £6million would've made me happy. {Ed025's Note - does he mean eboue..of arsenal?...not for me..

See we have missed out on steven defour a snip at £6mill porto have got a great all round midfielder ran the games against us a few years ago {Ed025's Note - we have missed the boat all year, nzogbia long defour to name just a few...our last hope could be odimwingie from west brom..

Everyone have faith..every year Moyes finds some random player none of us have heard of who turn out to be immense signings, eg Pienaar, Fellaini, Coleman, Arteta to name a few, and i get the feeling he'll be doin somethin similar this transfer window IMWT COYB

Beckford tries had but his control and link up play is dreadful. maybe with this money moyes can work some magic like he so often has. Maybe A down payment with a rising fee for kranjcar, as I believe we have some good strikers just lack that killer pass at times that he cAn provide, and maybe it will even clear up wages for barton, who I would love to see play for us in a derby his passion for the game is second to none

Moyes doesn't want barton and beckford is going nowhere, he will be class for us next season

We have aba 2 strikers anyway, getting rid of one for a CM (which we have LOADS of) is just silly

Which strikers you on about mate If we got rid of Becks, that leaves us Saha- injury prone, Yak-can't be bothered, Anichebe- worse than terrible, Velios- untested ........ Who have I missed out??

Mate, what strikers ? If we sold beckford, the only senior striker we would have would be saha.
Yakubu will be gone by the end of the month, vellios is untested and anichebe, is he even a footballer ?
If we sold beckford, id only be happy if moyes had a replacement straight away

I hope to god we dont sell becks hes our only striker who is a natural finisher plus ten goals isnt to bad in his first season and hopefully next season he will be more settled an gettin 20 goals plus

Get rid of Becks?? No way. The lad scored 10 goals in his debut season, a little more experience in this league and could become a 15-20 goal a season striker.

If Everton did get taken over by someone as rich as Man City's owner who would you want to see brought in by Moyes?

I know this is only a dream but who would your 3 first choice players to be brought in?

I would love to see Christian Erikson (Ajax), Gary Cahill (Bolton) and Antonio Di Natale (Udinese) come in.
They would be my 3 first choice players.

And also I think that Moyes would't let us become like Man City, he's used to working with a budget but I believe if he had millions to spend he would spend it wisely and only buy players he feels we would need.

Lucas (Sao paulo striker)
Khoumar babacar
Sneijder

I wouldnt want mass changes like at City, the core of the squad is there, just need a few additions, I still would love to see us target youth and develop them. Barca are a fine example, they bring in all these talented youngsters (Messi, Iniesta, Xavi etc) and develop them in their system and now they are one of the greatest teams ever. That is why would love to see us still go after Lewis Holtby as the kid is top draw, and also Mario Goetze of Dortmund, the kid is an absolute talent and is going to be a top top player. Also, I believe Erikson would be a brilliant buy as well.

But, also believe we would need to go after a world class player, I would try and get someone in the elk of Carlos Tevez or Wesley Sneijder, get one of those and it would announce us on the world football scene.

Benzema
Adam Johnson
Sneijder/Defour/Joao Moutinho

Would want holtby and goetze for the wings, tevez upfront then sneijder for a bit of creativeaty in the middle. A new right back, say maicon

I would get:
Falcao
Donovan
Javi Martinez

I'd buy
Christian Eriksen (Ajax)
Alan Dzagoev (CSKA Moscow)
&
Neymar (Santos)

Three unbelievible young players with huge futures ahead of them

I'd want neymar and ganso as they are great young prospects, then i'd want a proven player, maybe higuain as he's young as well

Moyes wouldnt go after tevez, moyes prefers players that play for their love of football not for the money and tevez is a prime example of players that play for money {Ed025's Note - i think, if we had money...we would not have moyes, a mega rich owner, would want a high profile manager, so be careful what you wish for!..

Teves dosen't play completley for money, if he did he would want to stay at Man City or go to Inter Milan.
He wants to leave because he misses his family who are living back in Argentina. {Ed025's Note - he also said he would consider a move to italy or spain that makes him a mercenary in my book!.

Can you all stop giving harry redknapp ideas, you all know he scouts the Everton pages as we Blues know our football

Ed025 Teves said he would consider a move to Spain because his family would settle there easier as Argentinians speak Spanish and he wants his family to be with him. The reason they didn't move to England with him was because there is a VERY small Argentinian community in Manchester

I would go for Jan Vertonghen, Adam Johnson and Sturridge. I think they would all improve the team.

Ad go for Joe cole an messi me mate an may b a centre back so jag stays

Based on them players coming to us to make us finish top 4 to start with? you would need a quality winger, a goalscoring midfielder and a 20 goals a season striker, all that gelled into the side as well. I would have 2 options for each position so 6 players in:

Winger - Mata/Adam Johnson
Midfielder - Tiote/Alcantara
Striker - Bent/Neymar

I would consider a world class goalkeeper too. Maybe someone like Buffon or the Lyon goaly.

THE HAMMER

OK since we are giving Harry Redknapp idea's we should go for:
1-Lucas (Liverpool)
2-Andy Carrol (Liverpool)
3-Jordan Henderson (Liverpool)

Three brilliant players there Harry who are worth what Liverpool payed for them :)

Id go for vidic sneider and d.villa

Sven Goran Eriksson is going to bid £3 million to sign Jermaine Beckford.

So leicester have bid £3million [ssn], do we accept? if accepted leaves with Saha, Velios, Anichebe [please no] or Cahill.

Yeah, then he's going to get told where to go. Even if this wasn't complete fiction, it would be a non starter.

Jags will NOT be going to Arsenal, but Distin might. I hear they are to bid 4mil for him. Yakubu will be gone by the weekend, as he is wanted by Celtic, Leicester and 2 foreign teams

Arsene wenger has a policy of signing no on eover the age of 30, therefore distin will not be leaving for arsenal.

also moyes wont sell because he knows how difficult a left footed centre back is to sign after the lescott saga

Haahahahhahh 4m, is that sylvain distin for everton? NEVER

Distin is a top class defender
