Would love us to sign Debuchy from Lille ,right from under the noses of Newcastle.Apparently they want 6 mill and frim what ive seen the lads world class! Rob Walker

So the rumour is that you would love to sign debuchy? i beleive you.

evertonroar

Is this guy better than jag,jonny or dizzy didn't think so davey don't waste your money

Top player can push on up the pitch and scores the odd goal can play rb or rm. looks out of our price range though!

He's world class, we would struggle to even get £6mill though
Toffeepidge

So world newcastle sruggle to find 6million

Hes dont play cb so he dosnt have to better than them, hes better than hibbert though

Why does everyone have it in for hibbert? yeah ok he doesn't score but towards the end of last season he created a few assists and defensively he is as good as most right backs as its very rare someone gets passed him. man or ball with tony {Ed024's Note - I like the guy myself mate

Tony Hibbert is like a fine wine, gets better with age {Ed024's Note -love it mate, lol

Hes going to newcastle for european football we have no chance im afraid... wouldnt mind him though fantastic prospect for the premier league

As much as I respect the fact hibbert tries hard his football is very one dimentional, the contrast between him and baines is massive.

Correct sir. Baines is very much the modern day full back. Hibbo been a solid pro and defensively sound but Please don't say you don't want Debuchy because we have Hibbert... We're talking different levels here.

I am not saying debuchy is not better than hibbert. all i am saying is that if we do have any money left to spend this window then rght back is not the position to spend it on. right mid, another striker and a back up left back are far more important than another right back. hibbert is more than capable and rb is not an urgent issue {Ed024's Note - Defo RM and attack is the priority

Debuchy plays right-back, and just for the record, he is definately better than Distin

Those guys weren't saying that Debuchy isn't better than Hibbert.... but I am. Hibbo is god.

We could bring this guy in and push hibbo up front kills two birds with one stone that way!

Why do you think we need a back-up left back? It's Baines' position, Neville and Distin can play there, and Luke Garbutt will be fighting for the spot. How many potential left backs do you want? {Ed024's Note - We are well covered there, the best LB in the league and three players that can cover adequately

Yeah mate I agree We need to strengthen in other areas (up top and RM).. We won't even consider a bid for debuchy like but would love to see a young right back on board who is quick and equally effective as Leighton on the other side.. More ammunition for Jela would reap huge rewards!

If he rather go to a smaller club its up to him

^^^ KOPITE ALERT.

PaulWRX

Why would that be a kopite for saying Newcastle are a smaller club than us ?

Remember coleman is really a rb improve his defending and have him overlapping 1 side and bainsey the other thats pretty attacking. ste c

Yeah Ste mate, think he's a bit limited to be an influential midfielder.

doyle defoe and rhodes could come to everton {Ed025's Note - so could curly, larry and mo..

We would have the longest bench in the world....

George {Ed024's Note - And would add near 200k a week to the wage bill

No way. Not going to happen. Has bk won lottery

More like Doyle, Defoe OR Rhodes. One of the three is unlikely but more believable than all three.

If the above was to be believed, Defoe would give you more immediate performance, but no resale value. Rhodes the opposite. Which would you want?

Doyle is ordinary if you ask me.

rodwell and baines to man united 26 million {Ed025's Note - for which one?.

Haha, love it ed.

26m just to speak to us i would say!

DobsonsBlueBoys

20 for baines and if were lucky 6 for rodwell , sorry ed i don't rate him

Why are people saying that baines is only worth 20 odd mill. LB of the year personally only lahm is better more like atleast 35 for me if carrols worth that

£26m for Baines and Rodwell, but you will offer all of £4m for Rhodes!?

Don't you Everton supporters have any respect for other teams and their players, or is it that you are just mathematically challenged?

Just accept that some teams, including Huddersfield, do not have to sell players to bring in new signings. It will be Everton who are more likely to have to accept "sale" prices.

Sorry to whinge on your site but you have a habit of doing this and it is disrespectful to Moyes because it ignores the real constraints he operates under and therefore devalues the superb job he does for you.

To the Huddersfield supporter, are you confirming that Everton have actually made that bid to your knowledge or are you going off what our supporters have put up on this site?

Mike aintree

Hi Mike,

I am not a Huddersfield supporter, and don't know whether you have made an offer of £4m for Rhodes. The point I am making is your supporters make a habit of posting stupid transfer prices for players to join Everton, and it is quite evident to anyone with a tiny bit of football knowledge that their value is way above what they suggest.
Not unusual for supporters to want good players to join their club, but be realistic-if Moyes hasn't got the money he can't afford such players and as I said it is disrespectful to him and the players you are talking about to suggest otherwise.

Why is £4m a stupid offer for Rhodes who is untried outside of the lower leagues in comparison to £26m for two full England internationals? You argument is flawed at first base. {Ed024's Note - Doesnt matter what player you are but you are only worth what someone is willing to pay and what is accepted or you

£4m is a stupid offer because Huddersfield have already said they don't want or need to sell, and will not consider any offer as sensible which is below £8m.

Is that clear enough? And don't talk twaddle about untried outside of the lower leagues-over £10m has already been paid for such players.

How tried has Rodwell been, perhaps an offer of £3m would be justified? See, you now find that insulting-how do you think other clubs feel when you show even worse disrespect?

I think it is Mr Wenger you want to point that finger at £10M for Arteta with 4 years left on his contract but he demands £16M for Toure with 1 year left, £25M for Nasri and now touting for £30M for Van Persie!!

Baines is nearer 28 than 27, and whilst an international, is second to Cole, with some exceptional younger left backs out there. If he goes, can't see you getting more than £15m for him-it is all about his value to another club, not what you value him at.
As for the person who thinks Rhodes can be bought for £4m, and qualifies the value of Everton players because they are full internationals, well I suggest you learn to use your computer and you might find that so is Rhodes! {Ed025's Note - just a couple of points...baines for me is the best left back in the prem, he offers a lot more going forward than cole, and they are equal defensively...on rhodes, a very good player in league 1, but the prem is a different kettle of fish!..£4m seems fair to me..

I agree with ed their and rhodes is a scotland international and not an england one

And Messi is an Argentinian International, not an England one, so you will get him for £5m?
Whether you and Ed. speak for Everton as a whole, I would be surprised. But you certainly don't speak for Huddersfield and if they have already told other interested clubs eg. Celtic, Fulham, Reading that they don't want the player to leave, and will not discuss any deal below £8m, you still think you will offer £4m?
Maybe you will, but it will be a total waste of time and show no respect to the player or his current club. I don't think Moyes is so deluded but if you think you can sign such players for peanuts, dream on-but then this becomes a fantasy site and not a rumour site. {Ed025's Note - funny you should mention messi...you seem to think rhodes is of similar ability?...i hate to dash your hopes mate...but he is a decent prospect, who scored a hatful of goals in the 3rd tier of english football...if he was as good as you think, the big boys would be after him..not exactly banging your door down, are they..

The big boys are after him. Will they pay £8m+, yes I think they will-eventually. Until then, he stays at Huddersfield and seems happy to do so. That's why Everton would stand no chance with £4m.

Never said he was a Messi, just showing you the absurdity of your arguement.

Quite simple, if Huddersfield will not discuss a move below £8m and you think £4m is about right, then nothing will happen, will it? So, as I said, it becomes fantasy, not rumour.
If you are only going to offer money for a Mini, why waste you time fantasising about the rest of the BMW range! {Ed025's Note - hit the nail on the head again mate..he is very much a mini, and you want clubs to pay BMW prices..

No Ed., I don't want clubs to pay over the odds but let's put it in simple terms: Everton can't afford him, unless they sell players. When you have done that and have a few quid in your pocket, then you can start to think about whether you want to make a real offer. Otherwise, back to your fantasies! {Ed025's Note - we will have to agree to disagree mate, but thanks for your views anyway..

i have heard rumour that fletcher is himself interested in a move to the but have priced us out

I live in wolverhampton big everton fan hearing wolves wont let fletcher go unless 15 million is offerd {Ed025's Note - then they can keep him!...worth £5m tops..

Well overated would sign him for no more than 5 mill

You avin a laugh... 5 million lira and i would contemplate signing him then loaning him out to the RS.

02 Aug 2012 16:35:22
think moyes might go for another striker he will probably look abroad for the new striker dont know who but know he will . adam johnson dont know where that has come from a high profile player like him the story would be all over the papers .

moyes to bid 4 million for rhodes as fulham had 2 million rejected

Fulham had an £8 million bid rejected, not £2 million.

Most reports are stating that the rejected bid was £2m - where did you get £8m from?

Huddersfield want £8 million. That wasn't the rejected bid.

As much as I would love that, I doubt that will happen

Harris

Fulham didnt have an 8m bid rejected, they had a bid of 2 million but 8 million is the price wanted for him ..

DavieEfc

Wont happen

4 million they want

02 Aug 2012 09:47:08
Take this as a rumour but i closely stalked wolverhampton this days and saw that they do anything to keep their beloved players. No one is buying Jarvis at the moment, we could take him on loan and in summer look to buy him, this is just an idea. Jarvis as well as fletcher want to leave but the club doesn't want them out so a loan is a good idea. Jarvis wages are not high, we can afford him one season god dammit. All good mates ! {Ed024's Note - worth a punt mate

Don't want inconsistent players from relegated teams. That's what QPR are here for.

That's not true, Jarvis is a great talent, i said this is just an idea, he could've been a backup for pienaar and ruled the RM too, he can play both wings. Study and then talk

moyes enters race for rhodes will bid 4 million

1 we just spent 4.5 on jump ship pienear do where will we get another 4 from and 2 he probably go to someone with abit more ambition than us like Liverpool {Ed024's Note - Well Mike aren't you a happy soul mate, quick tip for ye PROZAC

Who wants to go to the red s*** we could defintely finish in the top 4 if we can sign rhodes and adam johson {Ed024's Note - agree, positivity rules

Just realistic piernaar will leave us again if a better team comes in he just using us as a stepping stone spurs bought him for 2 and we buy him back a year later for 4.5 where's the sense in that we could of got someone better and younger for that {Ed024's Note - Wont happen and who is better than him for that price, slots straight in our team, works his backside off and links with Baines like no one else ever could

Mike is a dirty KOPITE!!

Considering that they turned down a £8 million bid from Fulham. It doesn't surprise me that we might bid only £4 million.

Why do people come on here and imply they have some detailed knowledge on how much the club has to spend?

Top 4? I'm a proud (and positive) blue.. But top 4 is not realistic. Chelsea have spent 70m and will make it 100 before window.. Arsenal have bought some top players. City & United speak for themselves... Before you say it....I'm not a Kopite, im a realist! Ourselves, Newcastle, Lpool an Spurs to joust for 5th - 8th {Ed024's Note - I would take us 5th then

He is lazy what u on about ed he only play when he wants or when he trying to get a move and what happens if baines leaves we ain't got a contingency plan we need someone with flair and hardworking snodgrass went for 3 mil I would of rather had him {Ed024's Note -How many Stella have you had and I suspect you may be posting on the wrong pages

We wont come in the top 6. Theres optimism and then theres delusion. {Ed024's Note - and there's clueless

Top 6 IMO
City, Chelsea, United, Arsenal, Liverpool, Spurs.
Whats so clueless. We will be fighting it out with Newcastle for 7th.
Better to be realistic than to think that we will win the league like some on here. {Ed024's Note - baa humbug

Chelsea, Spuds and Red S***e all have new managers trying to stamp their own ideas on the teams, lots of new players who will need time to settle. Arsenal may be bringing in players but there is more going on behind the scenes with big players leaving. It is not a given any of them are destined for the top 6. It is a very fine line between being a realist and being a pessimist.


WtG. {Ed024's Note - Spot on mate, Brendan sacked by Xmas, Gunners no RVP, Chelsea a manager who pulled a complete fluke out of the bag and have lost their best player, Man U on a downward slope, bring it on

Why dont you put a few hundred quid on us to win the league then ? It seem we only have to turn up next season and its ours. {Ed024's Note - Why would I bet on Liverpool

Oh I get it. Just because I think we will finish 7th or 8th means I'm a Liverpool fan. Pathetic. Fed up with this site. I won't bother posting anymore. {Ed024's Note - Promises promises

Because you are a Liverpool fan, how obvious do you want to make it

1or2 more signings why not 4th its not impossible as for pienaar using us as a stepping stone he's under contract now so if he goes its on our terms! not that he'll leave anyway,as for saying chelsea have spent 70m they've still got to gel, so all yo negative blues or kopites do1!
The Blue Spider

Why people think liverpool will be top 6 they have a manager who will now be under pressure right from opening day I know they say he needs time but you and I know that does not happen especially of things don't start as planned swansea had no expectation so avoiding the drop was an outstanding achievement he needs to finish top 6 and win a trophy to beat last year now pressure is on you he needs 2 seasons to challenge for title but I believe our squad is better than theirs only players I would take from there team is Gerrard and Suarez {Ed024's Note - If they lose two matches in a row they will be calling for Guardiola, as per usual

02 Aug 2012 00:22:35
Cardozo 100% not happening
A. Johnson 100% happening (season loan)

Andy Johnson was rubbish the first time round why we getting him again. Moyles out {Ed024's Note - think he has already been sacked from Radio 1 hasnt he

Adam johnson ... {Ed024's Note - lol, most of us have made that typo now

Not andy johnson adam johnson we getting on loan

How do we pay his wages? {Ed024's Note - we would have to put him on par with our top earners, could cause some hassle if that happened, personally I would pay him 70k if we could afford it because the lad would be awesome if given a good run

Well we can't buy anyone of premier league statute so we have to go for lower leagues until there good enough to pass on we're just a selling club {Ed025's Note - i can see your glass is always half empty!...we have already made 2 good signings, and theres still time to sign more...do us a favour, and brighten your ideas up!...you sound like someone from across the park...so stop the friggin moaning!!

Well I think your just and a dreamer ed your not a realist like us {Ed025's Note - we are all dreamers mate...i dream to see us back in europe, where we belong, and think this season we have a great chance..whereas you seem to want to moan before a ball has even been kicked!...chill out mate..
