The summer 2013 Everton transfer rumourZ thread

[tim cahill]

Sicken me this. Just do one United! But, why have we made it public? Are we trying to induce improved bids. Hope not.

We didn't make it public. The media were all over it this morning so everton just clarified it.

No barry in the city squad

James McCarthy - lol

Do you think he's good enough to replace any starter or bench player they are putting out there tonight? To me he isn't although it is close with Rodwell.

I hope so then because that sounds a bit better if it's right. Ta.

Mccarthy in. Fellaini out.

Talk about nose dive.

I'm with you here. I'm slightly concerned about Baines to be honest. Outstanding most of last year, but finished the last few months of the season poorly.

He's looked average pre season and was average on Saturday too. Nearly 29 years of age, I personally think a bid of around the 16 million mark would be good business.

I also appreciate I'll be in a very small minority here.

I would not purchase a new lb, IMO Oviedo is a good player who needs to be given more chances than Moyes gave him.

You don't need to be 6'4" to be a tough tackling midfielder who gives you presence. McCarthy is one of the league's best at ball winning without committing a foul. His presence in the team will free up both Barkley and Gibson.

You're right mate. He is one of his leagues best midfielders.

The Championship that is.

he hasn't been anywhere near 100% fit mate, it's probably the main reason for his level being not as high.

Agreed

Think we're underestimating how important Fellaini is to us. He's a unique player who causes damage in attack and in midfield. Has a stunning engine.

He's a player that belongs at a United in all honesty.

And we would be happy to replace him with James McCarthy? Wow.

Imagine Baines and Felly out with Mcarthy and Barry in

BEST WINDOW EVER

Maybe we not over-reliant on our left back being our best attacker anymore ????

Even Barcelona have height in their midfield. It's about presence. We're already lacking a defensive midfielder to back up Fellaini, so to also reduce the height of the team is suicide for me.
