Fringe Top Four Players.

[Neiler]

David Moyes comments today speaking about being active in the tranfer market.

"I think we are an attractive proposition to players who maybe just can’t quite get into the sides who are currently in the top four.

Is this a statement of intent? Reading between the lines is Moyes intrested in squad players from Utd, Chelsa, Arsenal, Surely he wouldnt sign a Kop cast of.

Im thinking Richardson or S.W.P.

s.w.p would be good, but we dont need RW, we need a LW, or a LB, i hink we shouold sign either ferrari or chivu from roma...both good defenders, both can play LB or CB...

 

[Dylan]

SWP can play on thew left, instead of going to the builine and putting a cross in, he cuts back and crosses. Seen him do it a few times for Chelski this season.

 

[micknick]

I think we need a good left footed, left sided midfielder to balance the team. I think Gareth Barry would still be a great addition, he is still performing well at Villa but I feel needs a move to kick start his career. He doesnt really seem to be getting anywhere at Villa.

How many headed goals have we scored from crosses this season?

Does that not prove a point then?

Yes, I think it does. I think it proves that it's not the route to goal that it once was. I've mentioned it before but the vast majority of teams now play with widemen that cut inside, often with central midfielders performing a holding role. Look at Man Utd and Ronaldo often cuts infield to shoot, Rooney often starts on the left and does likewise. Arsenal very rarely chip arial balls into the box. Liverpool play Gerrard on the right. Barca play Ronaldinho and Messi on their 'un-natural flanks'.

Obviously it depends how we want to play, and who we want to play. If AJ is the striker then sending crosses in isn't the best play because he's not tall and isn't all that good in the air anyway. We've done ok from set pieces this year when Yobo and Lescott can get forward but the trend seems to be going against traditional wingers getting to the byline and crossing for the centre forward to head in.

Malouda would be great but I don't see him coming to England to join anyone other that one of the big three.

I've always wanted to see SWP come here as he'd certainly give us some more bite in the midfield attack. I don't think there are any Everton supporters that wouldn't want to see him here.

 

[fozzy]

hiazie(think thats howe you spell it) from utd would be a great signing. he dont get that much first team action when everyone is fit. go at going forward and defending.

 

[McBain]

thanks dom i could watch that fernandes goal all day...

and malouda wont come here i know, but neither will MGP. arsenal or tottenham for malouda and man u for MGP

 

[SuitsBlue]

we have pace in defence, we have pace in attack, we dont have much pace in midfield (arteta borderline fast)

vdm is a quick lad, shame he's quicker to the bottom of a can of stella than he is down the wings. - he is the only true pace midfielder we have.

we will struggle to sign the finished article(in prem terms) we need to spot a solid player in holland or france, or maybe promote from the lower leagues - the thing with moyes is, he is getting known for spotting good talent in the championship - so his success could be a hinderance when other sides hear of his interest.

 

[Neiler]

I think SWP is a real possibility if he moves. Lets face it Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea and Utd. All hate each other so rarely are there any deals between each other, so when players leave its generally going to be to Spurs Newcastle, Villa and us of course.
