Hi ed
It's being reported that Manchester United want bainesy to put in a transfer request to help push through a deal, do you think he would do that to the fans that adore him.? {Ed025's Note - i really dont think so mate, its not deffo, but he seems a guy of outstanding loyalty to me..
I honestly don't see Baines doing that to us I don't think/hope he's that type of fella!
Man Utd being all what I hate about football.

Rooney, Once a blue always a blue, then signs for the other red crap, leave it out, I and many others, don't even want to see him watching us let alone playing for us
But didn't duncan ferguson leave and come back?
If Rooney came back and that is a big if and started banging goals away for us you would be jumping up and down and all would be forgiven so please just try and turn off your bitterness towards him cause 1 day he may well wear the blue of Everton again.
Utter dribble, fantastic player, comments above from someone who has limited knowledge. of the game
Well said mate, he lost my respect when he kissed the manc badge at Goodison.
Big dunc left because he got forced to if I remember right he didn't want to leave and its well documented so that argument is redundant mate sorry but its fact
So if rooney came back, scored the winner against Liverpool you wouldn't be happy mike?people leave clubs all the time.i understand kissing the badge wasn't the smartest thing he has ever done but he's never been the brightest.as stef said its a big if but if he came back everyone would welcome him back with open arms because he is a top player
15 Aug 2013 22:30:26
How do we know he left happily?
Maybe Moyes had a hand back then in caring for our young lads
Its all about opinions, I would take Rooney back tomorrow.
Yes he's been a div but the big question would he improve our squad? Of course he would and anyone who would not want a player of Rooney's quality because of being a div is cutting off there nose to spite there face!
Mr Blue Sky
15 Aug 2013 23:55:54
Behave, Rooney is a quality player and could play for any club. Him coming to us is never going to happen but to say you wouldn't have a player of that quality is silly
Toffee Tony
The only reason people are saying they wouldn't have him back is because there is very little chance of it happening. If there was a chance, they'd love it.
I'd put in a cheeky loan bid for him with them paying most of his wages.
15 Aug 2013 19:28:44
I'll just put it this way. My jaw would NOT hit the floor if a Fellaini/Rooney swap deal happened. Moyes & Utd could save face by saying they got £35m for Rooney, (because Felli's buyout clause had lapsed & they valued him at £35m), Rooney would be away from Moyes again & playing at his childhood club, some compromise had been reached on wages etc.
It's not beyond the realms of fantasy & believe me, I have some great fantasies. The one with me, Melanie Sykes & that bird off Emmerdale is a cracker. sorry, just got a bit carried away there! {Ed025's Note - do you meas cains bird tezza?...she is a fox..
Have I just read a dream there

Anyone know what the announcement at Goodison is about tomorrow?
I think it is about the tv documentry on the chinese kids Everton are training or something like that.
Operation Goodison Exercise - it's commencing.
They could be announcing the selection process for the new badge. They've said it's nearly ready and something announced very soon.

Blue bill found a tenner in an old pair of jeans! Everyone's excited about it! {Ed025's Note - i hope it was,nt pavarotti.. :)
It's the release of the new range of clothing
It's a new signing. Actually, probably not
15 Aug 2013 17:37:07
What is the exciting news coming out of Goodison tomorrow, as announced on the EFC page? {Ed025's Note - search me mate..
15 Aug 2013 17:31:52
Don't won't Rooney give the lads a chance and give the kids a run noel blue nose
15 Aug 2013 17:21:27
All this talk of rooney coming back is utter rubbish"he will come back he's about 33 when his legs have gone!
15 Aug 2013 17:13:50
Everton to swap Fellini for Rooney. Also Liverpool swop Swarez for Ronaldo at Madrid. {Ed025's Note - i suppose keith chegwin is in charge?..
Showing your age there Ed :). I vaguely remember swap shop. {Ed025's Note - i am knocking on a bit mate..
15 Aug 2013 17:10:27
Getting so k & tired of the Rooney rumours! R people for real? Get a grip will yer! Also ed u keep saying at least two more. U seem confident on a certain amount? I am presuming u no exactly? Getting bored of all the rumours an no action! Even if we keep b & f I still think we need to strengthen if we want to improve!
15 Aug 2013 15:29:44

Leighton Baines will have to hand in a transfer request at Everton if he wants to force through a move to Manchester United, reports the Daily Mail.
Everton manager Roberto Martinez has claimed that United's £12m bid for 28-year-old Baines was a "final offer" and the England left-back will be staying at Goodison Park.
But the Daily Mail understands that United want Baines to push harder for a move before they make an improved bid, with a written transfer request the ultimate way of showing that he wants to leave.
The Daily Mail sports desk been obsessed with Baines going to United for years. Literally. It has been one their main transfer stories for the past 6 transfer windows, in all of which they've been certain that he was leaving. He wasn't.
I don't know if he's going or not (though my suspicion is that he's staying put) but I do know that there is absolutely no point in believing anything The Mail prints about us.
They have already poached our manager now they are trying to unsettle our best player ieven though they are supposedly the richest club in the world don't the normal rules apply to them {Ed025's Note - richest in money maybe...certainly not class..
Starting too get really pissed off with the baines, fellaini rumours. Cannot remember how far back, but Bainsey has been mentioned for quite a few years as going. He could stop all this by saying, he loves Everton and wants to stay, or are Everton waiting for a big offer as well as for fellaini.
Patsyblue
A friend of mine knocks about with baines and he really wants to join Man U but will not under no circumstances put a request in case Utd don't meet the asking price as he would hate to upset the fans, so as long as the asking price is not meat be assured baines will not put a request in
This is total crap, he cannot stand moyes, and unless the club push him into a transfer he has no intention of leaving.
Baines will go to Man U, who wouldn't at his stage of his career

It's spreading like fire just had text to say he has been in talks with Nike and kenwright for weeks wages are sticking point it's a long term deal but let's just say it was part of moyes deal that we want rooney but no comments or bidding war he will go for fee of less than Chelsea offered it will come out soon what so rooney ok to play 70 mins for england but not able to be on bench for utd to get game time do me a favour just as the moyes thing it's been going on from day one you can't tell me we should not of got compensation for tapping up and not do anything about it it's been brushed under carpet because of we have rooney coming back {Ed025's Note - hmm
This is one of 3 things - 1. You've been smoking something 2. You've been playing FIFA past your bedtime 3. Your doing your wheeler dealing on your fantasy football. I've read some whoppers over the last few days!
Baz
I've heard this weeks ago
He's not coming back yet. Period! In any case he's not good enough to get in our team, he's a fat, overweight has been and is probably about 42 now, he looks it and plays like it.
The only way I can see Rooney coming to us, is in a panic loan, if United players kick up more of a fuss and the possible damage rooney staying can cause is massive to the team so they loan him out to us, because we do not pose a threat to them even with Rooney. A transfer deadline day loan. This is still very slight, but if Rooney is still adament of leaving and is not getting his head down at United, and no foreign teams are coming in for him, then that may be United's only way out of the situation and therefore may be willing to eliminate the wage stumbling block by contributing substantially to his wages. A loan will either give Rooney a break and he will change his mind over leaving Man U permanetly or, will give United much mure time and oppurtunities to offload Rooney to a team abroad. I'm not saying it is likely, but if things work in a certain way, it is a possibility.
I'm going to schwiiiing me pants big time if we end up living in Wayne's world!
Let me dream a bit longer all you miserable dream killers! :)
15 Aug 2013 15:50:23
no chance, stop hoping! you can make stuff sound as valid as the 125th version of the bible but it won't make it come true! he's not coming back so stop saying its happening. utter toilet.
Why would nike subsidise Rooney's wages for him to go to a club with less global exposure. I would love it to happen but none of it makes sense.
Don't see it happening myself, and if any move were made I could only see it being with Felli going the other way, which unless we could replace him too would leave us with a bit of a problem.
Having said all that, if it did happen, after having recovered from the heart attack I would be happy enough with it.
How can someone out of contract be tapped up
So let me get this straight . because Manchester United tapped up David Moyes from Everton they are offering us Wayne Rooney on the cheap to buy our silence?
That sounds as plausible as Elvis not being spotted on the moon.
Joe Mc - EFC
He wasn't out of contract at time his contract ended in june
Why would u need to pay compensation for a manager when his contracting was expiring.
He was out of contract the end of June, took up the Utd job on July 1st. Nothin wrong with that. You can't tie him to a chair with a gun to his head. Legally Moyes did nothing wrong, morally it's a different story.
First of all Everton can't afford wazza, two why would we give you rooney because we took your manager who's contract was expiring at the end of june.
He was under contract when he was tapped up by fergie
For the last time everton would not get compensation but he was still under contract with everton even if it was coming to the end the fact they approached moyes and not made formal contact with kenwright that's the bit that's wrong it's a case of Manchester United saying to bill we want to talk to moyes about being our new manager that's it not ferguson asking him round is house and offering him the job while he is under contract weather he has 1 month or 3 years left on it if bill invited Rooney to his house and offered him to come back with out Manchester United premision then that's tapping up so what's the difference none simple Manchester United are allowed to get away with it
15 Aug 2013 14:01:37
Just some info lads whoever as xl package with virgin gets bt sport for free
I can confirm this is true, I will have to tell the sky man not to bother coming out on Monday now!!

15 Aug 2013 13:27:51
Massive money going on Rooney coming back to Everton. Even got a bit excited with all the talk of Ferguson hating him and wanting him gone, UTD supposedly subsidising his wages.
Reality Check. Just got it from a family member, he is being sold, but it is definitely not Everton. they are still 100% certain he wants to finish his career at Goodison, but it is a couple of years to soon, for it to be a realistic option.
Strange comments from Moyes last night after the England v Scotland game, saying the run out did Rooney some good re fitness YET said he still not fit enough for the next few games etc for Utd and won't even be on the bench?
well doing 70 mins last night in a high tempo game surely means you can do 10mins plus off the bench v's Swansea etc
Basically you can't believe a word Moyes says but he's very careful to keep his comments ambiguous - so he can't be accused of being an outright liar
i.e. "I've said to the chairman we'll see where we are at the end of the season and see what his plans are for taking the club foward. blah blah blah "
15 Aug 2013 12:23:01
Hi edd
All can breath easy, have spoken to LB last night and he is definitely staying.also states he is not interested in finances and that partnership with Jags is a big factor. Both want to stake claim for World Cup places. Roll on the season.

Just in my local bookies just been told a lot of bets been placed on Rooney to join everton 50/1 bets came after england game maybe Gerrard has said something to someone lots of online bets so don't know where coming from
Yes lots of talk in my bookies at 10 this morning
Not going to happen.Purely down to finances!
Come in from 50/1 to 25/1
Nike are involved tho. they won't want him wearing adidas at Chelsea. They may get involved with the wages etc? Maybe a loan for a year will be the sweetner in any last minute deals for felli or LB? just had 20 quid at 33/1 with Sky worth a punt
BB {Ed025's Note - you may as well have tossed your £20 down a grid!..
Never happening don't waste ya dollar chaps maybe in a few years but not now!
Moyes would not sell us Rooney. Think on. person.
Only winner her is the bookies! Don't be fooled!
'Nike are involved'. (Sorry, I don't do this at all because I'd sound like a teenage girl). But- LOL. Makes not an iota of different who the kit manufacturer is, he wore Umbria for years with England. You're talking out of your arse and have just thrown £20 down the drain too.
^ *umbro* is what I meant. Damn predictive text
You do realise that 4 x £ 20 bets at 50/1 at the bookies can make the odds go from 50/1 to 25/1. You have wasted your money {Ed025's Note - why not try the new ED025 bookies...im offering 100/1 on messi, and rooney coming to us!!...worth a punt?.. :)
Rooney to everton . osman to united will it happen. wake up guys {Ed025's Note - go back to sleep..
That's obviously temping but know what I remember being told about moyes and how loads of bets were put on him this was before ferguson announced retirement then all of a sudden moyes is manager week later there must be something out there for people to bet on it this is what will happen rooney will sign for everton last day of window he is going and that is it case of utd can't afford to sell to Chelsea fact so they have to sell him where he can't hurt them as much in the way of title so not going abroad that's that only one place Roo
Mug punters - bookies just love them.
No need to be sarcastic Ed just saying it as I see it. what's up did you get up on the wrong side of the bed. {Ed025's Note - i sleep in a hammock..
15 Aug 2013 11:15:01
The only way I see Felli going now is if Wenger panic buys right at the end it will leave little time to replace him but we'd take them to the cleaners
15 Aug 2013 11:02:01
Not a blue rumour but the Times has it that Chelsea's chase for Rooney is a smokescreen and they are infact after Rat Boy from across the park and will finalise a deal at the last minute.
Also, it seems Rooney has Joseph Yobo disease; fall out with Moyes and become injured but make a recovery for every international, before becoming injured again for the remaining club fixtures.
15 Aug 2013 10:47:24
could sumone tell me why they have stop taking bets on roony bk to everton AD {Ed025's Note - he is not coming..
I would love you to get it eye wiped mate you went no that ed do you be honest {Ed025's Note - not happening mate..
15 Aug 2013 10:35:55
how much would Jackson Martinez cost ed? {Ed025's Note - around £22m..
Looks like someone uses transfemarkt ed ;) {Ed025's Note - where else would i get the info..im not doinking his bird you know.. :)
This story sounds more like a load of Jackson Pollock(s) than Jackson Martinez.
Jackson Martínez is quoted at €40m by Porto.
15 Aug 2013 10:28:55
The Toffees manager insists he has room to manoeuvre in the market without having to sell any of his top players, but is reluctant to be drawn into a frenzied signing spree simply to add new faces to a squad
So all doom and gloom shhhhhs now
Steblue69
15 Aug 2013 12:22:07
From what he was saying it looks like we have room for a loan or 2, nothing more. Unless we sell Fellaini for around £18-20m, in which case we'll probably sign McCarthy and get another on loan.
Above poster I don't see any signal to show we will have only loan move. Also even no cash impossible to sell Felli 20m.
I don't quite know what exactly you're saying sitea but I suspect you're saying Fellaini won't be sold for £20m? Why not, nobody was willing to pay £23m so it stands to reason they won't pay any more when, if they wanted him, they could've paid less.
He won't go for more than £23m unless someone is really desperate last minute panic buying, which would leave us unable to buy a replacement.
15 Aug 2013 09:37:59
Roberto Martinez confirms that Fellainis buy out clause ended on the 31st July.
So Baines and Felli staying judging by his public statement today regarding interest in our players.
15 Aug 2013 10:35:18
he has also suggested he is winning the battle to prevent baines joining Man Utd, but may do business regarding fellaini if the right offer comes along. I'm sure he has his targets if fella is to leave and that would strengthen our squad, particularly if the players martinez brings in would suit his style of play more than fella does. Personally, as good as I think fella is, he is struggling with the pace of play when we have the ball in the new system. Granted he looked half the player he is now when he first came to us, and that is down to hard work adapting to the pl and he would eventually adapt his style into martinez style, but if we were forced to sell by a huge figure offered in the region of £30 - £40Mill, then I would suggest cashing in to bring in 2 centre midfielders (1 defensive and one ball playing), a centre back and potentially a centre forward to strengthen our squad and really put an owness on competition and fighting for starting places in the first 11. CraigHuytonBlue
Well that does put the ball in our court and it would seem strange if any one would buy now surely we would want 30m but want him to stay and I think he will do you think there is an agreement with kenwright and moyes that he won't hassle club into selling hence the one offer seem strange how it was a one time offer usually they would make a second on a high profile player
Basically it translates to he will be sold for £18-20m near the end of the window. Quotes of £30-40m are pure fantasy and nonsensical.
They would have had him by now then if it was 2 weeks ago. Moyes obviously looking elsewhere.
15 Aug 2013 08:40:09
Just read on another website that everton will now only consider selling MF if a £30m bid is put on the table, I hope this is true, have some balls bill and tell moyes to do one!
Baz
Can you really see teams coming in with a 30mil bid when they could of got him for 22/23mil last month, don't think he's going anywhere.
15 Aug 2013 01:53:35
I heard off my mate that we are loaning out John Stones for a season, any truth eds?
-lannyefc {Ed025's Note - i cant see it lanny..
I can't see it, he looked top quality in pre-season and can definately do a job. Also I think his development would be much better at everton, training and playing with Jagielka and Distin. He will learn so much from them two.
Stones looks great from the pre season games so far and is being touted as 'premier league ready' by coaching staff. Much as Coleman doesn't really need the competition as he plays so well, but I think Bobby would play him quite a bit next season, as he's got an attacking threat in that thunderous shot of his. Does anyone know if Stones can play in other positions? If he can play as CB then that might help with the Alcatraz injury problem. Plus Hibbo is injured so we definitely need the cover at RB. My long winded waffly point is, he won't be going on loan this season.
15 Aug 2013 01:34:32
Hi ed u think we will sign anymore players before the window closes? {Ed025's Note - yes mate, my guess would be 2..
