How can Cardiff cough up big money for players and we can't? I get the impression Fellaini or Baines will be sold if we're going to buy.

Tom

We already have players of standard or better then they're buying, ofc Cardiff need large investment if they hope to stay up, championship to premiership is big jump, but how many teams have spent beyond their means and paid later if it goes t**s up.

They have billionaire owners from Malysia

A players price tag guarantees nothing.
Ste EFC

Norwich don't have billionaire owners and they have spent in the region of £20-£25m. We have spent £5m on a journey man and 600k on a reserve GK. I too believe we need to sell to buy.

Cheer up Tom Jesus winge winge

Norwich are a debt free club now, one of few in the prem so all there profits like tv payments shirts sales etc it can all be pumped back into the club, trust me in a few years Norwich will be a force, tom

Easy one that Tom. Other clubs have oney and Everton dont. Thought that would havebecome clear over the last 5 years or so.

Any truth in these Darren Bent rumours, reckon he's worth a shot - a proven goal scorer in the league, something we need unless the jelly man starts finding the net again. Anybody know how much Villa want for him?

£6m mate

Were would he play.

Should have bought him instead of kone

I am beginning to wonder whether we have got to sell to buy. It's a week before the season starts an its all looking a little slow on the market front and bringing in players. I feel if we keep baines & Fellaini we won't bring anymore in.

Yeah because all of the top teams have been buying players left right and centre. Agents have ruined football transfers they all take forever and are so complexed now its a joke. Wanting a player and him wanting to come and then having the funds is about 5% of the battle

Svenny

Svenny what happened to the 2 marquee signings you 'promised' we were getting? Don't tell me Kone is one of these?

We have brought 4 players in already and have not sold anyone! Get a grip!

The 4 players brought in are nothing special though

When is the last time we brought in 4 and not sold point proven would you rather we spend the 5/6 million we have now on a average player or hold fire and see if anyone comes in for fellaini or baines then get a top player me personally I will be quite happy to stick with what we got and try and add someone nearer deadline day

1 kid on loan, Alvarez injured & prob will be most the season, keeper that's going to sit on the bench although we do need reserve keepers & kone who I'm not convinced with! So your saying your confident in the squad then if we lose baines & or Fellaini because I'm certainly not!

The point I was trying to make was we have brought in 4 players without needing to sell anyone! Yes they are not world class players, but they are squad players which we need!

We are looking good this preseason, imo. And have a healthier looking squad than at this point last season.

The initial question didn't mention Baines or Felli leaving, and yes I would be gutted if they did leave!

If you see people go mean they want it mate. Heard we have budget 17m. region. If Bobby can keep it no point selling to buy.

everton to move for darren bent

Good move if you ask me.

We have enough strikers, more BS if you ask me.

Depends on the price tag will score goals but he's over 30 now we need players for the long term

We don't have enough strikers at all, good ones that is. Kone doesn't look good, jelavic don't even what he's going to do and big Vic don't get me started.

Martinez seems happy though!

Jelavic, Kone, Anichebe, Vellios, Deulofeu. Plenty of strikers who can score goals 4th poster.

The following is in the press

Everton manager Roberto Martinez will have to compete with Bordeaux if he is to be successful in being reunited with Wigan wide man Jean Beausejour, 29, at Goodison Park.

Surely RM has to realise Wigan's players are not what we need.

Mark

Hopefully its the players agent trying to fake interest from Everton to get his player better deal from Bordeaux.

Reckon he should have stayed there if he wanted all the same players.
RickTee

He isn't good enough for us in any positions. He can play as a winger or wing back, and is no where near high enough quality to fill either of those positions for us.

Bordeaux can have him. (Wavertree Blue)

Don't believe all you read this rumour is nonsense

The bloke is living in denial. His tactics season after season kept Wigan fighting relegation. He does not seem to be adaptable as some have claimed but rather stubbornly arrogant in his self-belief. I really hope I am wrong but just cannot get enthused about our prospects under Martinez.
