THE SUMMER OF 12: EVERTON PLAYER TRANSFER RUMOUR THREAD. IN AND OUT.

Love that statement from Distin staying he would have already signed the contract. :)

I'm happy to offer him another year. If he's not starting, he's #1 off the bench.

What about Rodallega and Diame from wigan.. contracts both up this summer, martinez says they'll be leaving.. Think they'd be decent additions to the squad especially with each on a free!

yup, would add some good depth. Moses would be a good shout too.

Rodallega i would definitely take, his wages would be low and no team above us would give him decent playing time.

Diame i'm not so keen on because we already have plenty of defensive minded players who can take that role when necessary and we've got Junior coming up in the reserves who apparently plays in that role. Would still be happy to take him on a free with low wages just to fill out the squad.

RM
CAM/CF
RB

Should be our priorities, in that order.

I see where your coming from.. But I think based on the last few games especially today against newcastle, a case could be made for moving Fellaini into the CAM role, and that move could be facilitated by bringing in a player like Diame. Have him or even Rodwell holding the middle with Gibson, give Fellaini the chance to move forward. but as you said, there are definitely other areas that need strengthened first.
 

Klasnic on a free from Bolton? He would give us much needed experience amongst the forwards. He could play behind Jelavic or as the lone striker if needed. Having another Croat around might be good for Nikica. And his record for club and country is roughly 1 in 4.

Fellaini definitely works well pretty much anywhere but the kind of player i meant when i said CAM would be a Clint Dempsey type who can play both in the hole and as a striker when needed. We need somebody as backup for Jelavic and i can't see us being able to afford a CAM and a Striker so the best option would be somebody who is adaptable. Dempsey will put the ball in the net in either position.

Fellaini's display today just showed what a top player he is. He is the numero uno in our team as far as i'm concerned.
 
I don't ever want to see Felli in DM ever again. When he can do what he likes in the midfield he is near to unplayable at times and Pienaar just brings the flamboyance in him out all the more. I will be inconsolable if he goes.

Neither do I ever want to see Felli in David Moyes...
 
I'm more convinced that Moyes is trying to follow the Man City model of three all rounder attacking midfielders behind Jelavic, with Fellaini as our Toure. He clearly just doesn't really like wingers and prefers passing around players to running through them. That's fair enough, so long as he comes up with ways to score goals from playing that way. We need better corner routines as well, you get a lot of them playing like that.

Fellis best position is as dm but can be a threat going forward.

It's why I think getting him and rodders back in the midfield working again would work a charm as both can alternate with Gibson or whoever just sitting. In fact all 3 would be able to alternate positions and look more fluid.

Won't happen though.
 
Gibson sitting....

Fellaini box-box....

Rodwell slightly more advanced....


Slowly bring Barkley in as playmaker.

Didn't we score a load from corners when Lescott was here? Just need a decent delivery and a good threat in the box. Reckon Heits could be that man, great header yesterday...
