The summer 2013 Everton transfer rumourZ thread

Disagree. It was our midfield 'efforts' of last year that lost us 4th place, it was absolutely horrendous when Gibbo was out and we had to deal with Neville and Osman, leading to about 7 draws in a row or something, and getting hammered by Wigan.

Being unable to sell Fellaini has done us in, because by the time we sell him there will be nobody worth buying. Well, not unless you are after yet another Wigan player that nobody else is interested in.

I hear what you´re saying but the service was not so bad that our strikers shouldn´t have scored more than they did.

And being unable to sell Fellaini has not done us in. He´s one of the best midfielders in the premiership. How would we have gained by selling him? There´s a reason for Moyes wanting him at Utd.

Is right. I want to support the lad being a new player and all, but lets face it he is garbage.

13 goals last season. How the [Poor language removed] is that garbage ?

Our two strikers scored less than 15 goals combined last season, up front was clearly our weakest part of the pitch.

People called Dempsey garbage after he bagged 23 for Fulham, they call Kone garbage after 13 for Wigan, yet they rave about Andy Carroll for some reason. I don't understand.

Dempseys doing well for himself these days innit.

Fellaini played upfront and scored 12 goals by himself. There is a reason why we were all screaming for a central midfielder back in January, it was because everyone could see how badly we needed one, nothing has changed since.

Surely the fact that we had to rely on a midfielder to score 12 goals by playing up front sorta proves our striking options are crap ?

Just using common sense.

To be honest I thought Osman and Gibson did a great job in the middle last season. Very fluent in possession, it was when Gibsin was injured that we struggled.

Nevertheless we need a CM for sure. Hope Barkley gets the no10 role tbh. If we don't sell Felli. Be happy to see him in a central midfield role. Nothing major to worry about for me.

Well 5m USD a Year, but I meant career wise, ya know.

Random thought :


Martinez was in the job how long to see and suggest he thought Kone was a better striker than jelavic, or at least could offer something better than him? About 3/5 weeks at a guesstimate

No infact, we signed Kone before Jela even came back from holiday.
