25 mil television money mate, 25 mil. thats 20 + 5 mil + 6 mil we spent on kone - 6 mil we spent on kone = 19 mil left.

can't tell if you're being sarcastic or actually believe this to be the case..... because God help you if you think the television money is going entirely on transfers.
 
I'm hoping its a 3 pronged attack in a 4-3-3 formation...next purchase Moses for the right, move pienaar to battle it out central.

..................Gibson........................
........Fellaini...........Pienaar............
..Moses............................Mirallas..
...................Kone.........................

CM cover - Osman Barkley, add 1 or 2 more (Honda/Fer and a DM)

Wide cover - Naismith, Not really got any have we, add at least one more (Donovan, barca kid, Sinclair)

Striker cover - Anichibe Jelevic, personally think we'v got to be looking at replacing jelavic but maybe give till jan.

Just wondering if you see honda/fer as midfield cover? Especially honda whose probably only comparable to fellaini in terms of quality.

Also for Moses, is he actually 'that' good?

I don't see Honda as cover No. Fer maybe, hard to tell. What I'd like to see is a selection of good quality midfielders that can be rotated/selected dependant on form/fitness/opposition etc.

Moses is a very good player IMO, not world class but a real handful and is young enough to improve further.
 
If Martinez is after Moses, then I can see us playing a front 3, should we get him.


Howard

Coleman Jagielka Distin Baines

Gibson

Fellaini........Pienaar

Moses........Kone........Mirallas​


Gibson would have to be extremely disciplined there though. And, essentially, 'do a Carsley' for us.

Pienaar would be able to help Baines out somewhat, but their partnership would be over, and Pienaar might have to gain some discipline himself for a more central/defensive role. Alternatively, would Osman be a better choice there?

Finally, a lot of this hinges on us capturing Moses, or someone similar. Assuming we don't, I'd prefer to see a 4-2-3-1, with a greater emphasis being placed on us passing it across the deck.
 

I wouldn't be expecting many signings this summer. We are talking with a possibility of 2-3 more squad players. It'll be next season when we really build the squad for our European competition.

Not many teams would fancy going up against that team, full of pace.

I had to look twice at that line up, at first I thought it was Barcelona
 
Do past injuries concern anyone? Or his alleged training ground bust up?

It'll be his second season in the Premiership I hope he doesn't come down with second season syndrome. Couldn't happen at a worse possible time for him.

Well we swerved Demba Ba because of worries about his knee and insurance... He seemed to do alright. And Kone doesn't have a problem like him.

Also, Martinez and his staff will know the player inside and out and how bad or effective is injuries are/were.

There's no gamble on that respect imo.

He just needs to slot.

Wasn't that Stoke? I thought we just couldn't afford his wages?
 
Does second season syndrome affect strikers who dont play for moyes??? Doesnt seem to effect other clubs does it?

Was it just 'come to everton, play your own game...score 20 goals - then the season after Moyes has got you playing his way and turns you into a bag of **** that cant hit a barn door?

It does, like.

There's loads and loads of strikers who scored goals in their first prem season and not done it since. Stern John, Alfonso Alves, Marcus Stewart, Rob Earnshaw, Luke Moore, Dj Campbell, Camerone Jerome, Kenwyne Jones, etc etc etc.

He really is.

Watched him at palace and we should have got him then. Always destined for bigger things.

We be a fantastic player in the near future.
