Are we interested in Alfre� Finnbogason? Would be a cheaper option than Negredo {Ed025's Note - not as far as i know mate..

Yea you're right, he would be cheaper for a very good reason. He's not a proven, established, experienced campaigner like Negredo, who's a classy striker. I know who I'd prefer, the Spanish fella. You get what you pay for in this game (usually).

I know the topic of involving lukaku in any deal for fellaini has been discussed here before and mainly shot down and rubbished but the more I hear about chelsea going on a spending spree and trying to sign schurrle and falcao along with other big names maybe it could happen if chelsea want felli bad enough.

Quick question, why do we need a new RB when Coleman is in the form of his life Hibbert is coming back from injury and we bought Stones from Barnsley in January. Is Moyes thinking of pushing Coleman to RM, I just think it could be a waste of money.

Apparently Moyes sent scouts to watch Van Ginkel recently, looks like a promising midfielder at the age of 20.

I really want to keep Jelavic he is a great striker, he will find his form game 1 next season. We love you jela we do oooooo jela we love you!

03 May 2013 14:35:25
Ed have we got any interest in remy

Thanks

Eddy {Ed025's Note - he is a very good player eddy, so we will be interested, but his price may take us out of the ball game mate..

How long before Scott Sinclair is getting shouted?

03 May 2013 15:47:49
A few of us have said it already mate, I like him a lot myself too

03 May 2013 13:39:13
I would be very unhappy if Everton sold Jelavic in the summer to fund a move for Gary Hooper! Also we have got zero chance of getting Remy, Benteke or Higuain so stop with the silly suggestions. They are not even rumours as there is no truth in them what so ever.

Everton will keep the squad together for another season and add 3-4 signings to improve the depth of the squad.

Our most important signing next season will be to convince David Moyes to stay. Everton will struggle to attract a better coach as there is limited funds.

Stop coming out with these silly suggestions? And then you say sell Jelavic for Hooper? Practise what you preach mate

Would like to say I'm a little disappointed with the number of Evertonians who would sell Jelavic.
Yes, we all know that he has had a poor season, but he is still a class act, as last season proves. I actually feel sorry for him, as he always puts a shift in, possibly to the detriment of his finishing. I think with no Euro's to contend with and with a good rest and a decent full pre-season behind him that he will be back to his best. I think that we should all get behind him 100% for the remainder of the season and for the next campaign rather than see him as part of any potential transfer accumulator.

Shropshire Blue.

Well said shropshire blue, we are to quick to slag off players when they have a bad time, yella is a good hard working player and he will start scoring again, starting with a double in the derby {Ed025's Note - lets hope so griff.

Even though I am one of those negative people and I don't like BK, Jelavic is going to HAVE to prove all us negative supporters wrong because the amount of times he's been 1v1 with the keeper and missed is appaling, if he performs like this next year, he will be labeled a one season wonder which do exist, (Yakubu, Cisse, Jerome, Kenwyne Jones etc. ) But if he manages to get over 15 goals next year I will be the first to admit I was wrong, but until then he needs to get his act together and try and fire in a few in the last 3 games.

COYB!

I'm with you. Anichebe has had a pretty good season, but Jelavic at his best is a much better player {Ed025's Note - its all about form though AJ, and that makes vic the starter for me mate..

I'd like to see KM start up front against the RS with Barkley behind. He tore them to shreds in the last game and could do it again. If we play long or up to Vic to hold up, carragher and agger will clean up all day long because that's their game. Give them some pace to worry about and they're in trouble.

03 May 2013 18:38:04
Agger and Carragher are not the most powerful of defenders mate, I like Carragher as a player and person but not only is he not powerful but he is very slow, Agger is very weak for a centre back and is also slow, not only that but he gets caught out very often and Vic will cause them both problems.

COYB!

I didn't say they were powerful Phil (maybe I did imply it, actually), I was just pointing out that if we hit it long to Vic, straight down their throats then it's meat and drink for them pair. I know they're slow but I believe they'd prefer to be up against strength and power rather than trickery and pace.

04 May 2013 01:03:19
Sorry if it seemed like I twisted your words mate I thought you meant they would bully Vic because he's not as quick as Kev.

COYB!

No drama Phil. No need to apologise either lad.

Just read this morning, Everton and Ajax to help sponsor a Chinese reality game show (this is not a joke!) that has the blessings of the Chinese Government called 'Football Dreams'. The overall winners get a chance to join Everton's academy. well sorry but bu**er me with a broom handle, where's the bloody investment in EFC China (one of the richest nations in the world)? 0. 0005 of their riches could make Everton the richest club in world soccer!
I intend therefore to immediatly black list my local chinese take away and write to Kim Jong Un of North Korea to offer to buy out Everton and agree to change our name to The Peoples Club of Glorious North Korea and Scouseland.
Based in Bootle the new state of the art stadium would have missile sites aimed at the capatilst States of Western imperialism and the Directors box at Anfield.
At least I am trying to get us some dosh. and it might get me out a bit more.

Hey mushy, are they magic mushrooms by any chance kidder lol

Hey mushy can we point a few at manchester just for a laugh? {Ed025's Note - and one in the anfield area of merseyside.. :)

You don't need to do that mate. My mrs just convinced Ken Barlow to buy us.

I just want to say that at times I despair!
You get some persons on here slagging off our great club. It might be the players they slag off, or Moyes or Blue Bill, but it is all negativity. Our players have all worked their socks off this season and I for one am very proud whatever the final outcome.
I am also happy to state that although we have the odd person, the vast majority of our supporters come on here with praise and positive comments. Thanks to all you guys for reminding me what it is to be Blue. Backs against the wall at times, but always proud to come out with the best support in the world.

Fellow Degsy I totally agree mate, unfortunately we need all the miserable gits otherwise life would be boring.

I'm a fan of Bill and I am proud to say it and do not give a f**k who hates me for it, as they are entitled to your opinion too, it's just that we disagree on this one fellow Blues.

Looking forward to Sunday, I think. I have decided to be negative this time with all my Koppite mates as whenever I am positive we always get beat so heres looking forward to a good whooping for us from the Reds lol

COYB

U may be a supporter of bill kenwright degsy but this thousands who aren't u support him on the back of moyes success not on his leadership. I like many slag him on hard based facts,. I like u and all are families love everton, I can't hide my anger that over the last couple of years both on and off the field are board led by bill they've let us completely down. this has finally led to moyes contract situation to add to failed ground issues . we should not be a stepping stone to so called big clubs 4 our managers and players. under these *******s that is what we are.

03 May 2013 11:47:23
Everyone is entitled to their opinion mate and we disagree on this one, as I stated it would be a very boring life if we all agreed with each other and some people see life through different goggles than other people.

We are still the greatest fans though by a long way and at least we all agree on one thing:

We all hate the Koppites lol

The glass can be half full or half empty. Unless it's a woman talking. A woman would say, "why dirty such a big glass to only half fill it?"
Seriously though, you have to see Bill K is a supporter. Have you ever spoke to him or heard him in interviews? He is die hard blue. He is not a billionnaire though. He knows he needs to sell. He also knows he needs the right buyer. We have consistently punched above our weight for the last 10 years under Moyes. with the odd poor performance. Even the teams with billionnaire owners have done that. Considering we have assembled a team on a shoestring, I think we are brilliant!
