When we get relegated next May he will leave for free. :wind up:

Go up a few miles, and see if God knows anything, as that's the only thing in the sky that might, other than a few heads on here, but they're just at cloud level and don't know didley.

And a few school kids on Twitter no doubt.

Haf, behave. There is no proof any bid was made.

If United are genuinely after him, he's gone. It's just a question of how much. I think they would owe it to us to give us a good price, and certainly don't think Moyes would insult us, or deny us the opportunity to build with the funds, as he is an Everton man.

Ha ha - that rocked the house

Where are you Simon? Emmerdale type place ?

I think we need to maintain professional attitudes. Newcastle bought lots of so called young talent, but where did it get them? Individuals don't make teams better, but worse. A manager will look at his needs, and address those needs, and often, it's quite the unexpected player that makes all the difference. It's a bit like chess, knowing if only you had a knight on the right, you'd be be in a very strong position.

Damn you. That's like an arrow through my heart.

Van Persie will be 30 on Aug 6. He wants to come and play for us on loan for a year because Moyes doesn't want him, but he can sod off, the old git.

Aren't there any other discussions you could be fucking up? Jeez mate. Go find something you're interested in, and more importantly, have knowledge in.

He was scary against us Pete. I thought "Where the hell did this guy come from". I didn't realise at the time that they had loaned him from Sporting Kansas. He would jump at the chance to get back in the Prem I reckon, especially with a team like ours.

I'll have to presume if you are agreeing, you are quoting me, and if you're swearing, you're quoting DK then.

He said he's not coming unless you shout his name 3 times ........ oh ......... and he said it was very important that everybody had to join Avins site and make large donations to his pension 'sign Messi running costs'.

I can pretend to be an authority on the guy if you prefer. Where else would I be able to see him play mate? Stats don't always tell a true story.

:dont know:

I think we can safely say we won't spend 15m on any player this season unless it's Messi.

Based purely on seeing him play against us, and a few highlights of other matches. Martinez said he was a blessing to work with, so obviously likes him. I think we need younger players, so he would need to be a lot less than 5m for me to like the deal, but as a player, he is very good. I think he will go to another club though, as we won't pay 5m, and some other clubs will.

I don't agree with that at all Jay. He might not be the right age for us, or even the right signing, but the guy is clearly a very good player who would improve any squad. We can debate the ifs and buts all day long, but let's not start attacking the player himself, as that's just wrong.

Should we be taking an interest in this guy with a cheeky loan bid? http://hereisthecity.com/2013/07/01/norwich-city-ex-kei-kamara-on-mls-hot-streak/ He tore us apart when Norwich had him come on in our 2-1 defeat, and seems in good form in the States at the mo.

Would you swap Baines plus some of our kitty to get Rooney back if he was prepared to take a huge wage cut?

Not once have I heard anything official from Everton that we are after 'anybody'. This is the silly season for a reason. Stop panicking.

Ha ha. Have you been grooming the members list again?

United, City, Chelsea, Arsenal, Spurs, Liverpool. After that, I don't see any other teams who are in our league, so it's kind of expected that we should 'at least' hit top 7. Anything better is success, but anything less is a failure. I think both extremes are unlikely, so where does he go? Hiding to nothing.

Let's see how the season unfolds. I think it will take a while before Martinez makes any significant changes to the way we play football. We don't need fixing. We just need better players. Our football has been sublime in periods, and no reason to change too much.
