The summer 2013 Everton transfer rumourZ thread

They come out to " Return of the Mack "

No mocking that was 2 minutes of hardwork!!

No, but one would hope that an alleged 12-15 million pound player could shepherd his team to a victory against the mighty Doncaster Rovers.

One would hope people slating James McCarthy know what kind of player he actually is. His role in the team isn't to be the match winner.

Still rather have Felli than McCarthy though!!!!!!!!

Ijjy you're posting Wigan scorelines, not James McCarthy scorelines.

We conceded 2 goals against Norwich, that doesn't make Fellaini crap. Or Jagielka. Etc. It's a team game, and all these vendettas against McCarthy are tedious.

Except Jags WAS crap against Norwich. Van Wolfswinkel skinned him three times in the opening half-hour chasing long balls in behind the defence - he got his positioning wrong over and over in that match and it was no surprise to see him completely lose track of the dutchman for Norwich's second goal.

Back to McCarthy - the issue is quite simple: if he is truly worth anything like the outrageously-inflated £15m price tag attached to him, he would be dominating games, week in week out, in the Championship.

Does anyone rate Felli?

Do we even rate him?

It's pretty clear we'd prefer the money than the play but we'd like a profit of some sort.

Oh most definitely. I'm no McCarthy super fan. If we could get him for say £8m, I'd call that good business and be pleased. He's never worth £15m.

But he's not gash, and it seems a few have a vendetta against him even though a.) He doesn't dictate his transfer fee, b.) He doesn't choose Martinez' transfer targets and c.) HE HASN'T EVEN SIGNED.

Sean Maguire of West Ham, opinions? Also Janaai Gordon and Junior Morias

After that game, I couldn't really tell if Van Wolfswinkel was THAT good, or if Jagielka was THAT bad. It's hard to tell them apart after one match. After all, good strikers are able to lose the best of defenders, that;s what makes them elite.

On your second note, I agree completely. Any 15mil player should/would dominate week in/week out in the Championship especially a CAM. Still a good player who could help us, but not one worth that rather large price-tag.

 

[Elong]

Don't think Jags went from being amazing to gash because of one game. Settle with the knee jerking fellas.

[Greek Fisherman]

Transfer Funds remaining - 8m
Fellaini - 23m
Baines - 16m
Heitinga -3m

There's your 50m???

We could do some serious damage with that type of cash... or Kenwright can just pay off our debts and bump up the sell price.

I'm kidding.
