I'd like us to go for Holtby. Not in the Spurs squad today and won't get a shout this season with all of their new signings. Price wouldn't be too high, he'd probably jump at the chance to join us and stay in the league.

I know. Someone like him.

Tbh i know i'll probably get slated for it, but Miles Jedinak would actually be pretty good for us. Someone to break up the play and get in the oppositions faces, allowing the other midfielders to go on and be more creative.

Well everything on here is hypothetical anyway but it's just the nature of bartering, people make these kind of offers in all types of business. Man Utd might only have £35M in their Everton-pillaging budget, based on my vaulations they could only buy Fellaini (£25M) or Baines (£15M). As they still would have money left they could offer the rest for both - and we could take it or leave it. It doesn't meet the original valuation but we still get much more money if we accept. Try it at a car boot sale, I think you'll be pleasantly surprised ;)

Fair enough...but the day after the car boot...try it with a couple of multi million pound assets. Agree Buy one get one cheaper works in 'all kinds of business' but not at the high end, were millions are involved. 'Give me the Post Office Tower at full whack, but you need to throw in The Tower Of london at half price? Agree its all Hyperthetical , certainly!
 

I have seen Holtby a couple of times with Spurs and he really doesn't impress me ,I wonder would we talk about him if his dad wasn't an Evertonian.

If we get money I really would like to see us sign Moses.
My own personal favourite transfer(although I realise it won't happen )would be James Vaughan. A 100% player,a nightmare for defenders to play against,strong and can score goals....everything that our current centreforward isn't.Still only 25.
 
Could do with Man United getting terrorised by Chelsea to send Moyes into a state of panic for proven Premiership players who he knows will slot right in. That is the only way he is going to get to the kind of figures we wan't for Baines and Fellaini.

He still thinks he's penny pinching but what he doesn't realise is, at a club like Man United they don't wan't bargains, their fans want to throw ridiculous money about and flex their muscles. So I am sorry David but getting a few quid knocked off Baines and Fellaini is not going to earn you a feather in your cap with United supporters.

we need goals so I would sell Fellini and get a proper skilful striker and a playmaker, yeah its a disgrace that we have to sell one of our best players to get 2 players in.

Macca,

I acknowledge that he performed well overall but, as I have posted ages ago, in terms of PMDS rating I would give him a 3 at most (1-5 possible).

I am a senior manager who has to operate in a situation where others above me decide my budget. I have to make sure that I not only use that budget well, but that the personnel that I am given (unlike Moyes I have NO say in who is appointed to me) perform to a 3/4/or at absolute best 5.

This I do, and in fact have been promoted recently as a result of my management of the resources that I was given.

I am on a fraction of what Moyes was paid, but am dealing with 7 figure budgets.

I also have to deal with under-performance by my staff - my manager is not interested in excuses about....

"this is what I inherited"......"I can't get the people I want..."

I have little sympathy from my own experience for someone like Moyes not delivering some sort of success over an 11 year term.

I would not be given anything like 4 years never mind eleven in which to deliver success.

Haha behave you lunatic. Whatever your job is it's nothing like being a football manager, pretending there's even a scintilla of equivalence is deluded.

The Khalekan alternative universe where not getting relegated, in an era where almost every other club has, is a negative thing.

It is like criticising a Formula 1 driver for finishing 6th in a Ford Focus because most of the other competitors crashed at some point because their cars were too fast.

You're clutching at straws there, pal.

Coulda, woulda, shoulda.

It's no accident EFC have spent more seasons in the top flight than any other club.

So Mr. Moyes didn't do what only two managers in our long, illustrious hIstory did.....oversee an Everton relegation season.

Big whoop.

Sorry if I don't regard "avoiding relegation" as being a benchmark for success.

As the song says......"know yer 'istory" before making meaningless statements on the internet.

And again Khalekan will tell you how things stand in his "alternative universe".

Only seven teams have been in the EPL every season this century.

Everton is one of them.

So it is no great and wondrous achievement to regularly finish above those that are regularly having to survive and consolidate following a promotion.
