Did anybody else notice BK mention that player (s) that have buyout clauses could go but others are staying.

Does this mean Fellaini is defiantly going? Seems like it to me.

SatBlue

Pretty sure Bk said he wanted them all to stay. His intention is to break into the top 4 and by publically making that declaration I am hoping bk and the board are going to make as big an investment they can to do that. I don't think he would make such a statement without offering as much backing as he could. plus BK did emphasize that the players are the club. so why sell felli. unless he just wants to go of course. If that's the case there is little they can do, but I am pretty sure 20+ million we get for him would go straight back into the side. jlaff

No, what bit didn't you understand when he said nobody had asked to leave?

I agree mate. I think kenwright seemed pretty much resigned to lodging him
BluenoseTommy {Ed003's Note - how much board a week though?}

No, he was saying that no one is for sale, it just that he can't do anything about Fellaini being sold if they meet the release fee. He wasn't saying he was definitely going, just that he's the one who he can't prevent. Fellaini himself has made a few statements recently which have lead most people to believe he actually wants to stay.

Why the fuk Kenwright chose to mention it at all is mystery. He is the master of gloss and rubbish. Why did he deliberately drop a huge bollock like that? Total muppet!

I think we can afford to let Fellaini go if his 23m buyout is met, as long as the 23m plus what ever is in the kitty is combine and reinvested in the team. Maybe get rid of Heitinga 3m Naismith 2m and Gueye out on loan again. So I would expect some where between 40m-50m as a petty good war chest to have a go. Its vital we keep Baines, without doubt best left back Britian.
COYB, IMWT.

Dero.

Any idea when RM could make a new signing Ed? I'm guessing he'd want to do it before July to ensure they're ready for pre season? {Ed025's Note - im sure he has targets, but most players are still on holiday, i think it will be a couple of weeks mate..

Said it before think he should be able to get Scharner in so all good

I liked how they asked at the press conference "are you bringing your own staff?" reply "no, I want to meet all of the people at Everton and the back room staff, but I will be bringing all of the staff from Wigan". great, so does that mean we lose the likes of Kevin Sheedy, Duncan Ferguson, David Weir, Alan Stubbs, Andy Holden and so on and replace them with a load of coaches plus others that just got relegated? thoughts?

No, we will still have dunc, weir, stubbs etc, it is more the number 2 and people who sit on the bench that he is bringing with him

I doubt he will make a signing before july because he officially take over 1st july

He has already officially taken over, that's what the press conference was far! Where the hell did you get 1st July from?!

05 Jun 2013 17:57:42
Ed, with hindsight, do you reckon the delay in the announcement was due to BK and RM performing a full assessment/plan of/for the next 4 years, i. e. players needed etc. or more down to details regarding his contract? jlaff {Ed025's Note - the amount for players mate..

No, I don't mate. Just think it was another load of nonsense bit like the appointment of a relegated manager, who has got the job by saying "I will get you into the Champions League". I could've said that and like Champ manager did I have a shout? He is already deluded! First 5 matches will be interesting, with what's left of the back room and playing staff. Reckon if BK has any sense and its going wrong he'll be gone by January.

Ed I'm thinking that thre would be an unusual kitty for EFC. surely BK would not intentionally embarrass him, us or the club by saying he want CL but then not spending. whadya reckon. are we going to see big push by efc standards? Jlaff {Ed003's Note - When you say unusual do you mean; http://tinyurl.com/kh27pn2}

I would be stunned if we outspent any top half side this summer, excluding money from selling players. Ed, I see you like listverse too.

05 Jun 2013 17:29:05
Apparently RM first signing is going to be Requelme!

IMWT
Kurajan

He's 34. We need some young blood need to get rid of Howard, Distan, Peanut and Osman. Looking forward to seeing who we get in, GOOD LUCK Roberto and welcome to EVERTON F. C

Not a chance now unfortunately, he was always a Moyes target and I've heard from an inside source at united that he is due to have talks with them early next week!

Another missed opportunity, Kenwright out :)

SydneyBlue

He's to old at 34

Is that 35 in 2 weeks riquelme, if so rubbish mate.

He's from Argentina also he's an attaken midfielder and he's 33

Get rid of Peanuts and Distan are you serious. has to be a joke.

I appreciated the sarcasm kursjn, don't think everyone got it haha!
Molly888

The first Riquelme shout of the summer! Everyone seems to think we'll go for Mcarthy, I can't see it personally, centre mid is one of our strongest positions if Fellaini stays, add Gibson, Barkley Osman and perhaps Francisco to that and I think the priorities are elsewhere, pienaar is getting on but he's never had pace to burn so think he will go on for a while yet, we've not really seen enough of Oviedo to make a judgment, I think maybe Moyes seen him as a left sided utility player and nothing more. Mcmanaman I would have but only if he was 5 million or less, he only had a handful of standout games in the Cup.

Think he means the young lad who was released by arsenal with arshavin! Any takers?


Wrighty

This won't happen a 34 year doesn't fit the mold

! Class Kurajan. Chill out guys, he's taking the piss, but that is the 1st riquelme shout of the summer, I heard he's due to land in Manchester airport next week in a swap deal for nani and rooney and Ashley young, and tom cleverly and Anderson all going the other way. that's how much Moyes rates him and wants him!

05 Jun 2013 22:29:05
Dear god, why are some of yas getting so wound up, it was a tongue in cheek statement, and long time regular posters will understand!

IMWT

Kurajan

OP this made my day! I heard moyes only took the utd job on the basis he was the 1 marquee signing!
Spekeblue

I understand mate, good crack. but actually when you think that our transfer targets are likely to be Di Santo, Maloney, Scharner and Boyce your are probably not far off with it!

Love our club and will always support the club but not felt like this since the day Johnson sold Duncan behind Walter Smiths back, just feel cheated somehow by this joke of an appointment.

05 Jun 2013 14:38:32
Official now, just had the official notification from EFC. Come on RM, Good Luck and welcome to EFC

Thank god that's over. COYB!

Well done Everton you've secured a manager who will keep your team in the relegation zone all season

Come on martinez ben pauls

Nah, I'm sure we will improve, best worry about your own team mate.

Bad bad bad bad, bill leave now, stop hanging on you bad bad man {Ed025's Note - support your club, and stop friggin moaning!..

People forget that he took Swansea from league one to the prem and kept them there, what short memories people have. Let him actually manage a season before passing judgement. So called Evertonians get behind your team and give the man your support!

Well said Ed! Get behind Roberto and Bill, we'll be fine! Roll on the new season! Bluenosedalien

Ridiculous, I for one cannot wait to get back into my seat next season. I don't understand how people can see this as a bad move, get a grip we were never going to get Mourhino type managers, Rankjnic already closed the door on a move, and Piereira is expected no to lose, just like Celtic in a crap league. FFS people, you call yourselves Evertonians, move on if you're not happy!

At least it's announced. Good luck Martinez. Fully behind you

Poeple need to give him a chance before shooting him down, who else were you expecting I mean there's not a queue of world class (supposively) managers just sitting round, the guy plays good football and I can't wait for the season to begin

MikeDeBlue

I for one am very excited, true blues will feel the same, let's hope we keep our current squad and add two or 3 players. Any doubters can look at what the wigan players had to say about RM. COYB!!

Its a grand old team to play for.

05 Jun 2013 18:44:08
welcome to goodison park roberto, Most of the fans are behind you, The moaners will never be happy, can't wait for the new season to start,

Ed I ain't moaning, I'm disappointed! I hope he proves me wrong but what's wrong with wanting more? We've settled for bill for years, he's hanging on, don't get me wrong we owe him major, I mean we owe him major but he's done all he can, and proved it again

Bottom 10 hear we come hope proves me wrong {Ed025's Note - sigh..

05 Jun 2013 20:09:32
Shocking appointment

05 Jun 2013 12:22:32
Press conference called for 13. 00 BST

Its 1 now

Tv state press conference called at 4pm today.

I think he is on an hourly rate, penny pinching bill, eh lol

My God, people, can you not read? BST =/= GMT.

BST is what we're on now! Hence British SUMMER time

05 Jun 2013 12:09:44
Eds were about to announce Martinez in 10 to 15 mins. LIAM

Right well at least that is sorted now let's bring in some quality players and move on coyb.

The appointment is not guaranteed. Everton have only stated that they will make a statement at 4PM. SkyNews exaggerating as usual.

05 Jun 2013 10:23:55
Leroy Fer apparently close to joining Napoli.

05 Jun 2013 11:24:14
tv reporting its likely a news conference will held this afternoon.

What a lot of crap strange how he said his keen on joining Everton a coupe of days ago and his kept in touch with them plus he wants to come to the premiership

Why are people disagreeing? It's a fact FC Twente have confirmed its close.

Get used to it lads, here we go onto our slippery road.

Does that mean Fellini is staying

05 Jun 2013 14:35:21
leave a name before you accuse me of lying. I've got better things to do with my life than make stuff up, I saw that FC Twente said it through their twitter page so I came on here and posted it to let you lot know.

05 Jun 2013 14:57:36
I think there's been some mistranslation. According to this: http://tinyurl.com/kfru9n4

Fer was second option for Napoli behind Fernando from Gremio in Brazil, who has apparently just about wrapped up his move to Italy.

Everyone off to Napoli

05 Jun 2013 09:00:17
Marouane Fellaini is on a shortlist of targets for Rafa Benitez at Napoli.

If this is true - whilst I Don't want to lose Fellaini would rather see him go to a european club then chelski, Man U, etc.

Typical Everton we just can't seem to sort out a deal without it taking an age!

05 Jun 2013 01:11:13
On TV Wheelan has confirmed Martinez will be the Everton manager in next 48 hours.
