Henen brought back to everton.
From what I've seen in u21s he wasnt very good.
Same at fleetwood scoring once.

All the trouble we had getting him too.
Next season i'd loan him to villa or sunderland if he doesn't cut it get rid!

Tbf he was injured for most of his loan spell at fleetwood but shola ameobi looks better so were probably better getting rid.

Good to see we gave the lad a chance, on the scrap heap it is then.

Unbelievable Bretto, no one has even seen the lad play, I have a mate who is a Fleetwood fan and he said he showed some great signs and they wanted to keep him.

. Ed, you've mentioned in a number of posts of late about the fact that David Moyes is very likely to be strongly considered as Evertons next manager. I'm sort of getting the impression that you might have some inside knowledge on this being true? I think we're so far gone as a team and squad just now languishing in 14th place that maybe what we need is a bit of stability back in the short term. so maybe give Moyes the job for 1-2 years and see where we are at that point as to whether or not he can take us any further than he did last time with the cash at his disposal which he didn't have last time. watching Leicester yesterday reminded a bit of Everton under Moyes when he was last in charge. yes, not always a pretty game but uncomplicated football, defending well with that cutting edge up front in Vardy and Mahrez. so I guess if Leicester can win the league playing that style of football with a great spirit then just maybe Moyes could at Everton. after all, he does have unfinished business here to undertake as he is yet to win anything for us long suffering blues. as you say Ed - there has to be a long term plan and maybe this is the answer as at the moment we all want quick fixes whether it be top named managers or splashing the cash. but the fact is we already have a great team/ squad which needs to be managed properly and not the way it currently is by you know who. a week ago I would never of entertained these thoughts. but there has to be a longer term plan for success which I guess involves different stages and processes at the top to bring us back from the mire where we currently are!

The only way Martinez could go is if we don't win the cup and our league form (which is highly likely) gets worse. With the investment we now have, if we are to be taken seriously we need a big name who can attract big players and make the "better" players we have stay imo. I really don't think he will go even if we don't win the cup but hope i'm wrong because I can't stand his sh*t any longer.

In response to Eds suggestion below, I did some research on Lucien Favre. Other than being vaguely aware that he did good work at Gladbach I can't say I know too much about him.

He's been credited with reviving a sleeping giant in German football (Gladbach) and taking them from relegation material to champions league in a few seasons. He's also credited with developing Marco Reus and Ter Stegen through the youth system.

This is a very good article on his tactics at Gladbach for those interested. Sounds perfect for Everton and reminds me of what Leicester are doing this season.

My only worry would be how different he is from Martinez in his tactics - potentially putting the likes of stones and Barkley back in their development having spent the last few seasons learning a more possession based style.

I for one think that this guys style is more suited to our play. And he's available! Great shout Ed, thanks for the heads up!

Which will come first the announcement of a new manager or new stadium your thoughts Ed.

{Ed025's Note - hopefully a new manager skylark as i dont see the new stadium being on the agenda until later on in the year mate..

When a football club like everton go in for a new manager do we sort it out behind the back of the existing management or will he be informed or sacked first then start looking is it all cloak and daggers or will it be out in the open I no we all have are own ideas as to how it happens but just wondering Ed if you could enlighten us.

{Ed025's Note - there will be a shortlist skylark it will probably be about 3 or 4 possible candidates and will depend on availability, things will go on behind the scenes and managers approached underhandedly in the same way all clubs do but will never admit to mate..
