Personally I would welcome Cleverly especially for 6-8 mill, considering McCarthy cost 15 mill + he would be a great buy IMO. About two years ago he was considered a great talent much like Barkley now, sign him up Robbie

mccarthy cost 13m, cleverley was 22 then, hardly a talent, worst footballer to ever live, if we sign him even I will find it hard to trust bobby and won't support cleverley ever, what a joke if its true, mccarthy is 10000000000000 times the player cleverley could ever dream to be, bad times, arsenal after manzukic, chelsea after costa and the best we get is danny welbeck and a player who has no talent, wuppy doo

Swan, if we sign Cleverly (even though i'm not his biggest fan) you'll get behind him and the team, because he'll be wearing the famous royal blue shirt. And If RM thinks he is good enough to push us forward, let's trust him and the player. (I respect you opinion 100%)
To be honest, there's been quite a few players that we've sign and thought that wouldn't make it:

McCarthy → I saw him as a decent midfielder, and when we bought him for 13 milion I was worried. Looks like he is worth much more than that.

Gibson → I didn't see him play ever with MU, looked like a cheap and fast option to have more players in midfield: He's done excellent, some of his passes and to be honest i'm looking forward to see him play next season under RM

Kone (you still haven't seen him play much, but I have) → Played for Levante in Spain for one season and, to be honest Levante are a midtable team that have only spent 7 or 8 years in primera division, and he rocked them to Europa League scoring 16 goals, and didn't play more games because his parent club Sevilla had a contract that if he scored 18 or more goals in a season, he had to return to them, and if not, Levante could keep him.
Was bought by Wigan and scored 11 goals with them in the first season, and remember Lukaku has scored 13 this season with us, so just wait till next season (Lukaku is great, but Kone isn't crap).
I have full confidance that he'll prove himself at Everton, he will have to play a big part in Europe and some league and cup games.

Robles → HE IS GOING TO BE GREAT, plays for the U-21 in Spain, he's big, strong, has good reflexes and gives a lot of confidance with his feet.
Just look at David de Gea's first year at MU, he made some horrible mistakes, but in his second season was much more confident and has been a lot of times the best defensive player on the pitch for them.

I mean, we don't know who are we going to sign and if he'll play goo for us or not, I just trying to tell that every player that plays for Everton is for a reason, and he hasn't arrived there without doing nothing. He's worked had, he has put in good displays on the pitch, and even if we think some players aren't good enough to play at Everton, let's just see what our club wants to buy and what type of players they want in and out.

Everton Till I Die, COYB, Support every second Everton and never stop believing what we can achieve at Goodison.
I respect all the opinions, i'm just trying to be as positive as we can, the manager is so we have to be double positive.
Bright future at Everton, as it used to be and has normally been all our great history.

History, Passion, Honour, Desire, Heart, Community → EVERTON

{Ed025's Note - good stuff OFM, i was a gibbo doubter when he came, but he quickly won me over, i could be wrong about robles as well, but to be honest he does not fill me with confidence when he has played mate..

i liked mccarthy at wigan mate, 13m looked over the top and yes he has done well but at least he had footballing ability to see at wigan, I like kone but he has probably lost his pace due to his injury so won't score more than 5 next season, robles is second choice for the under 21s, he's 23, not very convincing and gibbo had a great shot and pass at Manchester United so he had some footballing ability, cleverley and people think i'm messing is the worst player I have ever seen, he has no talent and it is criminal that he is a footballer, if we spend any money on wages or transfer fees which we will then i'm sorry he will not get my support regardless of whether he is wearing the shirt or not, I honestly will be heartbroken if we sign him, we will have the worst footballer on earth, remember ali dia? bakayoko or rory delap? they are gods compared to him, I respect your opinion but I will lose total faith in roberto if he signs him, we will be the laughing stock of england and I wouldn't argue, he is awful mate, as I said and no joke, he has NO footballing ability to speak of and if he signs then the club will have a total lack of ambition and he won't get any cheers from me, i'm praying its a joke because it will kill me if he represents this club and I won't trust roberto with any transfers no matter how positive he is, I would happily sign welbeck for our whole transfer budget than have cleverley on a free, he would do a job as ball boy for blyth spartans but to think of him as an everton player is a fate no one should have to see

{Ed025's Note - not a big fan then swan? :)

What if Cleverly signs and proves you wrong? What if he scores the winner at Anfield?
Would you still thnk that about him?

And if he plays like you are saying, I guess you'll kill him won't you? :)

But let's hope another player comes to us anyway, a young and promising midfielder, I think we need more quality in midfield, somebody special.

{Ed025's Note - that would be good mate..

Just check out some of his videos on YouTube. It's crazy to say he is the worst footballer you have ever seen, we had Neville playing cm for years and I know you can't judge of a video but from what I have seen he could offer a lot more than he ever did in playing terms. I also feel in the environment Roberto creates he would flourish, he gives the players confidence in themselves knowing if they misplace a pass/shot there not going to get dropped. Just my opinion anyway haha

Coyb what's your predictions for today lads?
