The Premier League 25-man aged-over-21 squads have been registered.
Here is Everton's. (*=Home grown)
We have omitted Garbutt (on loan at Fulham all season) and Junior (Om loan at Wigan Athletic until January). Players like Stones and Deulofeu are aged-under-21 and don't have to be named in this squad. We have named 24 players, so have room for one more, which could only be taken a player who was released (free transfer) by his previous club before the transfer window closed and is currently unattached.

After hearing the things the so called South American Football expert said about Mori, why am I getting Glen Keely in my head. RM says he's ready for the Prem n may make his debut V Chelsea!!

{Ed002's Note - I was very surprised at these two - Mori because of the money. Leando Rodriguez really doesn't seem to be EPL fodder at this time - not sure how he will ever get a game.}

Two players I don't get signing, swan had a go at me for saying martinez was lucky to have the squad he did, I say that because his signings baffle me, we have never been a team to sign players for the sake of it but we prob have a bigger squad than last year with the europa aswell

04 Sep 2015 07:52:55
One was signed for potential and the other for 3rd choice Centre Back/Left Back option due to injuries. Ever heard of cover or squad players? Not pointless.

04 Sep 2015 10:03:46
Time will tell on these two

{Ed002's Note - Then Everton must have a great deal of money to waste if they are going to spend that much on a third choice player.}

Jags ain't getting any younger Ed002

Decided to start a new thread re: NTBT's McGeady post below.

Swan I just wanted to say that I was not in any way suggesting that you or sa90 abuse any of our players. In fact I find that you are generally quite fair in your assessment and criticism (Howard aside lol). But just think that we should get off McGeady's back a little, perhaps then he can start relaxing more and playing with a smile on his face, as at the moment he looks extremely unhappy while playing.

Not saying we have to chant his name just stop giving him stick. If we do, we may actually start seeing the best of him. And that's good for Everton! I think that's what all of us want at the end of the day. You said you don't want him to play again and that's fair enough. But I'd prefer to see him playing well as during a long season we need every player to offer something to the team.

Having said that with Lennon returning I don't expect he will get many chances. If he does though, I hope he can start playing well and enjoy his football more!!

I agree aflm78 I wasn't saying Swan and sa90 were giving him abuse either. I was talking about the wider range of supporters. I have no problems with anyone's posts on this website. Everyone are entitled to their opinion

03 Sep 2015 15:04:44
Alfm your saying we might see the best of him?! The problem is I think we have seen the best of him it's not as if he's going threw a bad patch or anything he's just terrible he has been all his career

03 Sep 2015 15:17:53
Thing is, I've never seen him have a good game for us. I wouldn't heckle the guy but I'm just not convinced he is good enough for us.

Where as some players have had excellent performances but also been poor showing inconsistency, Mcgeady has never shown me an excellent performance. So I fully understand why he gets very little support on this site. Sometimes you just have to concede that some players just aren't good enough. He wouldn't be the first either.

03 Sep 2015 16:03:26
All of your comments are fair guys. And like I said I'm not saying he has been good because he hasn't.

In fact he probably would not make the bench for me at the moment, however should we end up with lots of injuries like last year then we may need to use him. If that happens it would be better to have a relaxed and happy player who can hopefully make some kind of impact for us.

Anyway can't wait for the Chelsea game. Let's hope we can get a good performance from both the team and the crowd and start feeling a little more positive!

03 Sep 2015 16:14:28
Just to clarify I would love McGeady to start performing on the park and would be happy to see him included in the match day squad if other options were not available. I just think he has lost what little form he had and can't see him getting it back in the foreseeable future. As always any player that wears the shirt gets my full support on the pitch.

03 Sep 2015 08:43:20
Have you all seen the new pics of Lennon, ha ha, beaming and looks a lot happier this time. I like this guy and think he will surprise a few people on here

03 Sep 2015 09:21:39
I second that Murf

03 Sep 2015 10:18:56
I've laughed my head off today at his pics this time he really has a beaming smile, made me chuckle.

I'm glad he is back real pace.

Would play him on the right delboy on the left cutting inside mirallas behind ROM and Barkley behind them at home and really attack teams.

Away I would use Lennon's pace to counter force opposition to have a high line play thru behind them Lennon feed ROM running onto the ball rather than holding it up as we know holding it is definitely his worst skill

03 Sep 2015 12:49:19
Not just how happy he is have u seen how much fitter he looks! He looked a bit chubby last year raring to go this time round I reckon

03 Sep 2015 12:49:43
Good to have him back, has an effect on the whole team and not just the right hand side.
