Bill Posted November 18, 2011 Report Share Posted November 18, 2011 We've played all season without him, its only because Distin is injured that he played the last few games, and he hasnt done anything special, I'm sure Duffy wouldnt let us down if we had to call on him.

Fair point, but as SteveO posted, let him stay where he will be improving, not on the bench here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevO Posted November 18, 2011 Report Share Posted November 18, 2011 Yes Bill, but 4 million would go to the bank out of let's say 6million pounds leaving £2million for D Moyes to spend on who? Certainly not a class international like Johnny H! What about now? I'll take that as optimism, I think the whole lot would go to the bank.

StevO Posted November 19, 2011 Report Share Posted November 19, 2011 hmm, maybe we would still have about £30m left. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zoo Posted January 26, 2012 Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 http://elcentrocampi...ga-to-mallorca/ I'd be gutted if Heitinga went, he has been one of our best players this season and the only way that his departure would be good is if we managed to get £30,000,000 for him (which isn't likely). For me he must be on our 'not for sale' list and I would be fuming if Moyes lets him go for a figure similar to Bilyaletdinov. He is under contract until 2014 and I really hope that he sees that contract out.

Blue Monday Posted January 26, 2012 Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 Heitinga had a nightmare in Spain, I can't see him wanting to go back there if there were possibilities in Germany or Italy. Also we can't afford to let him go - this window at least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also we can't afford to let him go - this window at least. I don't know the ins and outs about his time in Spain so I won't argue with you but he played 32 games for Athletico (scoring 3 goals) so he can't of been that bad if he's played nearly every game. I do think that he would prefer to play his trade at Everton than Mallorca though so for the time being I'm not worried, if it comes to it I guess that Moyes will give him higher wages to make him stay..

Mogsy Posted January 26, 2012 Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 If and that's a big if we had good money for him, I say sell him, if it means we can buy 2-3 decent players to bolster the squad, I'd rather see that. I'm am now sadly of the opinion that we are now a club who is going to struggle for premership status because of lack of investment. Yeah Moyes could do better, but with other teams spending and us not being able to then if we don't sell a few players for big cash we are stuffed, maybe not this season, but next season or the one after we are gonna be right royally rodgered if we don't start replacing the older members of our squad and making our squad larger.

EFC-Paul Posted January 26, 2012 Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 We would be very lcuky to buy 2 or 3 squad players in todays world mate let alone players who could make any impact here, no offense mate but I find that kind of notion crazy.. I would much rather have smaller numbers then a squad of average players and let's not forget we have a little depth with the young lads we have who in some cases would be ready to come into the fold and even if not quite there yet they wouldn't be any worse then what we have put out this season so far. We need to keep players like Johnny and buy and blood youth in as it's the only way a club such as ourselves can "plod" along these days....sadly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm doubting myself now! I'm sure there are people who watch much more La Liga than me - maybe this was something I read on a forum and has somehow become a 'fact' in my mind. Having said that though, they spent £9m on him in summer 2008 and sold him for £6m a year later, so maybe there is some truth in there somewhere!

jonno Posted January 26, 2012 Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 Norwich and Swansea are above us, thats got nothing to do with spending, more to do with attitude and tactics. The Club didn't bother showing interest in Demba Ba, that says a lot considering his wages wouldn't have been an issue.. We keep playing the likes of Saha who is useless, that sends a message to the other players "we don't have to perform to play" I would rather pay off his contract and get shut rather than buy another midfield squad player.

Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't want to sell any of our top players, but without investment how else are we going to replace the likes of Neville, Cahill, Saha, Hibbert, Howard(granted in a few more years), dusty bin? It's great Duffy has come in and has performed great, but we'd still need to replace distin, and jags isn't mid twenties anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes and no, Swansea and Norwich have fantastic attitudes to the game, but they spent far more than us in the summer, Swansea bought Vorm for 1.5mill, routledge for 2mill, Moriera from benfica, Norwich spent 1.5 on Bennett, 2.5mill on Morrison and they bought Vaughan of us, Not mega transfers but it all helps, what did we spend - £0, and we r suffering big time! I agree with u that the attitude of some of our players and Moyes is not helping, but we need fresh players but we have no cash. So the only way out I can see is to sell and hope the bank doesn't take all the cash like they did with Arteta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'd get more for him than Heitinga, even though Jags isn't the same player any more simply because he's English and people are stupid.

Bailey Posted January 26, 2012 Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 So you sell Jags.

Not the same player for us though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve_E Posted June 22, 2012 Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 According to a Dutch tv show ("VI Oranje", related to Holland's biggest football magazine "VI")Heitinga wants to leave, he wants to move back to Ajax or to the Bundesliga. http://www.voetbalzone.nl/doc.asp?uid=167772 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
