Jagielka: There could be 'double figures' leaving Goodison this summer

[mutley]

I'm swaying towards a strong British manager, i'm scared these cowards wearing our famous blue jerseys who stopped playing in the second half of the season might take us down.

Sounds a bit to me like Jags is trying to get the club to give new contracts to a few of his mates . Saying we might not have a big enough squad in august

Very much so and tough. If these players wanted to stay then they should have contributed more when they had the chance.

As perturbed as I was that we signed Funes Mori over VVD, I don't get the shouts for him to be amongst those culled

I'm optimistic that he can improve

The shouts for Oviedo are baffling as well. He's the best back up LB in the League IMO. Just don't play him on the right

Oviedo is awful pal! To lightweight to be able to defend properly and gets caught to high up the pitch, dosent know when to go and when to stay!

 

[BlueToff]

1. Mattioni
2. Osman
3. Hibbert
4. Pienaar
5. Howard
6. Gibson
7. Kone
8. McGeady
9. Niasse (more than likely)

I'd say that's 9 definite outs. Factor in possibly Oviedo and Garbutt, plus Rom and Stones.

Nah he's fine at left back. Far from awful. Our best run this season came with him in the side at left back.

He's awful at right back though.

Hope snivelly is on the out list.

Mirallas put on instagram "be sure that I will be there at pre season start for the 2016-17 battle!"

So he seems to think he's staying

There's a few weeks between the start of the season and the end of the transfer window though.

I hope he does stay.

Have to disagree with you mate

Oviedo is excellent. The only issue he has is maintaining his fitness

He's always delivered when he's had a sustained run in the team and not been forced to play at RB

 

[Khalekan]

And to think.

Just a few short weeks ago people were still saying this was the "best squad" we have had in thirty years

Now our skipper thinks it may be cast to the four winds.

 

[Raino85]

Wonder if we could bin Niasse & Kone off to China for a hefty wedge

 

[riddick]

We would need to replace if Stones left, why not make a big bid for Mustafi, see If we can get him back?

It's been said, almost certainly 9 will move on and we need 4-5 class players to come in, most pressingly a keeper

 

[AaronTheBlue]

Someone mentioned selling Lennon before, Jesus guys I have just bought his shirt, plus the value he brings to the squad is huge.

There will be a couple of surprises here, maybe around Gibson or Osman for another season, also we all agree that Rom will leave and Stones is a maybe dependant on who we get in as manager. But, don't be surprised if we lose RFM, it has been stated a few times that he is homesick plus he always seems to have a huge error in him. I know @AaronTheBlue wont like that but you never know.

I think the both Gerard and Mirallas will stay and give the new manager at least a year.

Exciting times, just need to get the manager in place fast

Rfm will be staying for this year at least

 

[MACCA75]

Martinez has not left us in a good state, far too much deadwood and utter crap.

 

[Skeleton Crew]

A lot of names mentioned in this thread but i havent seen Barry called out.

He had a good year really but he is getting older. We saw him a step behind in a lot of cases. He uses his experience well to get into good positions but with Besic and these youngsters maybe he is politely asked to retire?

Would be great.
