We should stick in a very good bid for Chelsea's Batshuayi. We should have before the season even started. Anyway manager we get is going to want him. If you stick him in the same role as Lukaku and just feed him balls, he'll score allday. Mirallas on the left Lennon or Lookman on the right Siggs number 10 and Davies and Gueye supporting him. Schneiderlin can also feed balls upfront too. I thought we were heavily linked. Or was that paper rubbish.

{Ed002's Note - He is not a centre forwatd, has just joined Chelsea and is of zero interest to Everton.}

ED02 can I ask what position he is then as I always thought he was a striker and there was rumours they would ket him go in the summer and as conte has overlooked him a few times isn't there a chance he will want to move with the world cup coming up.

{Ed002's Note - Batshuayi can play as a striker or in a forward position behind or with a centre forward where he is best used - and where he prefers to play and where most of his goals come from. As an out and out striker on his own he tends to get lost which is why Belgium typically play him with Mertens.}

What position is he then ed002?
not a marky dig just a query.

09 Nov 2017 11:24:34
fair enough ED02 still think he might move but more likely to a European team as not sure he really enjoys the hustle of the premiership.

{Ed002's Note - Why are you expecting him to move? There is no plan for him to move and Chelsea already have a shortage of forwards and are working on adding one in January.}

just an impression I get I don't think conte rates him too highly as he has left him out while morata was injured prefering to play hazard.

Some media saying the next Manager will get rid of 3 players, Scheiderlin, Siguurdson and Williams. The first and last I have to agree with but Siguurdson a natural No:10 has been played on the left wind more often than not and now even Icelands Manager has indirectly criticised Everton for doing so.

But it will be the new manager will decide who will stay or who will go?

08 Nov 2017 20:00:12
If schneids can get back to where he was last season then we have to keep him. Williams I couldn't care less about but Siggy has to stay and be our 1st choice no10.

Did not doubt that Stig. Just appears strange to me that you pay 45 mill for a playmaker No: 10 and play him on the wing. Unless of course it is to accommodate the prodigal at all costs.

08 Nov 2017 20:28:42
Can't see how the media would know who an as yet unappointed manager will sell. Agreed we've got too many number 10s, but would sooner see Rooney and Klaasen go than Sig.

08 Nov 2017 21:26:47
Well if the new man is as good as we hope then he will realise Sig is a number 10 and so should be playing in that position, not on the poxy wing.
Mr Unsworth take note.

08 Nov 2017 23:52:41
Sigs should definitely be playing the 10 role, he can feed the balls for DCL or Niasse and even Sandro they all have the bit of pace to worry a defender
If we want to accommodate Rooney maybe he needs to go on the wing but we know that won’t happen as he doesn’t have the pace. Time to be the impact sub for Rooney!

You can go on about stability and who the manager should be but bottom line is they have to get results, end of story, people keep posting about Blanc but why his achievements are no better than the jobs Big Sam or Dyche have done at there respective jobs, Silva looks promising but there defence is just as bad as ours, it's all about timing with managers, people rave about Klopp but what as he actually won, been at Liverpool 2 seasons now and they are no further to winning anything than they were under Rogers.

They're in the champions league we are struggling to stay out of the championship.

Dear Billscroc I cannot agree with you on Dyche for stability. I feel stability, in this day and age, is enough. I feel it must be coupled with progress also. For I feel to stay the same is to fall behind. While I know Dyche and Silva are doing fine jobs with their respective clubs, forme, I feel, they are always going to be perennial mid-table managers and what I want for the club is to win the premiership nothing less. I feel this will not be achieved by these 2 managers. I feel that Blanc has a winning mentality especially having won the league with Bordeaux which wasn't a mega rich club like PSG.
Greater stability comes from progression and winning more games because it will stabilise the club long into the future. If you achieve immediate stability NOW with Dyche or Silva it i.

I'd love Simeone but realistically I don't care who is appointed manager to be honest as long as they stop the rot and sort out the problems.
