Rodwell's Off

I love the idea of selling felli me. In fact am over the moon. Boss idea that why didn't we think of that b4.
 
We wouldn't get that for Fellaini, given his injury record, probable desire to leave, we've got no money, he's not English, we're not in Europe and anyone with that sort of money could find better, more reliable and younger players than Felli for their dollar.

You must be the only Everton fan I know that doesn't rate Fellaini as high as the rest of us! I know its just your opinion, but for me he is one of the best players we have had here for a long time. Fellaini and Baines are our only world class players. I know he hasn't had the best time injuries wise, but is that down to the size of our squad - bringing him back too early and keeping him on when he should have been subbed.

As for 'better, more reliable, younger players than Fellaini in Europe' - name 1? He is only 23 FFS!! No English midfielder is as good as him! Yes we are skint and everyone knows that, but we have been skint for years and no sought after Everton player leaves on the cheap!
 
Its ok lad, theres been whoppas saying all Summer we should sell Rodwell, Fellaini, Arteta, Cahill, Baines, Jagielka.

Most would swop all of them for Scott Parker and Joey Barton.

Clueless doesnt even begin to get close.

Its not that i don't rate him, he's a good player, i'm just not buying into all this ****e that he's brilliant. He's had bad injuries for the past couple of seasons, and at the back end of last season when he was out we played our best stuff, could be coincidental but it proves we can do it without him.

Off the top of my head.... Moussa Sissoko, Yann M'Vila, Sami Khedira, Lassana Diarra, Ever Banega, possibly even Sandro and Cheikh Tiote if they push on like last season are all better and could be bought for cheaper than you suggest we should sell Fellaini for, a few are younger than him too. And thats ruling out the more experienced DM's who are valued higher and are more reliable, the likes of Nigel De Jong, Javier Mascherano, Daniele De Rossi.

So don't try and tell me Fellaini is world class. If a panel of Football experts, coaches, fans or whoever were to write down the 10 best DM's in world Football, he certainly wouldn't be in it.
 

So is that Rodders, Yak and Yobo whose numbers have been removed then ??
 
Most probably. But you know there's a lack of activity in the market when we're speculating over what's for sale on evertondirect....

Is Everton Football Club for sale on evertondirect ?? (runs for cover) !
 

It is a weird one to be fair, but I just can't come around to thinking online shirt ordering systems are a good way to predict transfers.

U'd think wouldn't ya, but we're Everton and we like to do our transfers in a dramatic and unorthodox way !!!

Anyone else think this online shirt ordering plot would make a good West End stage production ?
 
I think Roddy is going nowhere.
We should have some spare cash from Pienaar, etc. plus I have faith in our management that they can keep their tight budget. So if they're racing Villa for N'Zogbia (which is good!), that does not necessarily mean that anybody is off.

A thing that I don't get is why we don't really look for players in other, maybe lower-seeded European leagues. I know that the PL is a different world and players need to adjust but the premiums clubs pay for PL players is unrealistic and stupid for what the players are actually worth. Come on - Rodwell at 20M'ish? You gotta be kidding me. Carroll ... don't get me started on how much the sh**e overpaid on him.

We should bring in some talent from Switzerland, Austria, Belgium, Holland maybe, Croatia ... we could get really good players for a bargain that might need a year to adjust to the PL but could be sold for at least double the price we bought them. Look at Shaquiri who I rate better than N'Zogbia for 10M EUR from Basel (plus, he's only 19!) ... He could be the next Luka Modric ... or Dragovic (Austrian) who also plays for Basel for 2,5M EUR who could add competition for Jags, Distin and Johnny. With 2,5M, there's nearly nothing wasted for a national team player who is very good. Ki from Celtic could also be the next Felli at 2M from Celtic.

No need to sell Rodders if we'd take a bit of a gamble and look across the mighty PL.

We don't do transfers in any kind of way, mate. Because we don't do transfers! :P
