I was actually fine having him as backup but after the Jonny Evans drama i think we should just punt out all the sub standard players.

Its just embarrassing to watch...

Lukaku OR Kone
Barkley OR Naismith
Mirallas OR McGeady

Shows no depth

Howard OR Joel

Shows no keeper

Bit harsh on Joel. Over the last season he had it drummed into him that if you want to be first choice goalkeeper at everton then you have to concede stupid goals.

Looking at the Tim Howard thread, loads of Americans would take him.

Kone, Joel and McGeady someone would take a punt on.

Barry a lower prem side

Gibson no one

Naismith may fetch a few ££

Just because MLS teams would welcome Howard doesn't mean he's interested in moving back. The sense over here is that he won't return to the MLS.

That tends to be the missing piece in a lot of these conversations. The player has to agree to a move.

Yeah he's said he wants to finish his career here and he's got another 3 years on his deal, Martinez is happy with him so he's going nowhere.

What we do need though is decent backup for him, a young keeper who can push him in training and challenge his position.
 
Hibbert - 30k
Kone - 30k
Naismith - 30k
McGeady - 30k
Barry - 50k
Howard - 40k
Gibson - 30k
Joel - 20k

= over 13.5m a year in wages.

Which is bad enough, but then you hear stuff about how we are thinking of offering Gibson a new contract. WTF?
 
People need to get serious about selling Kone. No one will pay actual money for him. We have 3 options-

1) another club desparate for a striker may offer to pay 50% of his wages. Possibly with clauses to pay more if he actually plays/scores goals. This probably won't happen as he has serious fitness problems and he has been rubbish for 2 years. Also Kone would have to agree to the move which he may not want to do.

2) we offer him a % of his wage (e.g. 40-60%) to cancel his contract. Again unlikely as he'll know this is the last top level money he'll ever earn so why not wait and get all the money for his last remaining year.

3) we keep him and hope he pops up with 1 or 2 goals (and i really mean 1 or 2) by being in the right place at the right time. A random tap in against United or RS and we may all look more fondly on him (this is probably what Martinez is hoping for).

Remember that cross AVM put in against RS in the FA Cup game in 2009...
