read through most of this thread. agree with most of it. de jong is a defensive midfielder and that is it. love him. but he is not remotely close to what the team lacks. saw someone mention gago. he is a holding player. not a free roamer.

Maintain the big picture is a good message The club has not been in any semi-final since the days of punk before this week. That alone is big progress. And the draw for the semi-final could just as easily been against Villa or Blackburn as it was le scum. So perhaps the next time the road to...

not sure why anyone gets worked up over what Cook says at a meeting of supporters. of course he is going to talk big. that's part of his job. the players the club recruits and the organization they create will ultimately be what drives the results. not whether or not cook runs his trap...

He said in the pre-game interview today that Ned would be available on the bench for Everton.

I think there has been a huge media swarm around Tevez. So they are giving him his kudos and I have no big complaints. That being said I think they are still now waking up to just how good a player he is technically. Some of them still chalk a lot of it up to hustle. But a review of his play...

What he said directly above only I replace Villa with Spurs

Tevez is a great player. Just needed to get time on the field to show.

I've lived in America. Donovan is the best U.S. talent ever produced. He can be soft. But he is still a better all around player than Dempsey. Donovan though won't be used to his full potential by Everton. They'll want him to play more defensively and work for the team tracking back, etc...

It should be far and away the toughest match Mancini has overseen. A win there would really open some eyes.

Tevez. But Kompany, De Jong, Barry, Zabaleta and Garrido all had solid outings as well.

You're not saying he play like Mancini did are you? They are nothing similar at all.

Let me get this straight. Mancini is being set up when he's a willing participant in a plot to let Mourinho take over? How can he be set up in such a scenario. He already knows what is to happen. As for Ansaldi. He is used to coaching in Italy. Managers there are used to having not as much...

I doubt Mancini much cares that the press took up the story. You think the English papers are bad, in Italy it is even worse.

Tire of what? 90 million is nothing to these owners. 300 million is nothing to them. Billions are nothing to them. They 20x the money in a year than they would spend in 5 years on the club.

I had no idea the that City were required to field any youngsters. The idea is to win the game. Not be a training ground fr other clus. Of course Everton doesn't grasp this.

Allow me to rewrite the quote. Only now let's make it in reference to Landon Donovan. "I'm sure there will be a lot of young players at Everton who will be disappointed at not getting the chance they might have otherwise done. It might turn out to be a good move for Everton, bu if you're...

Not sure how you draw that conclusion. It is very hard to make big name signings in this window anyway. We only got Vieira because he wants to try and make France for 2010 for instance. There are plenty of quality younger players we might sign. Note as well that the Shiek tossed an extra 90...

In his prime Weah was untouchable, among the two or three best on earth. Course that was in his prime at Milan. This is low risk. Six months. Big deal. Not sure why anyone says its a gamble. And the media looking at wages and the like. Who cares. The club can afford it. Aren't Pompey.

The balance of power has not shifted and no one outside our own supporters see it as shifting. At this stage we just get a few tips to do well and a whole mountain of criticism for trying to buy big name players. Vieira's too old. Tevez isn't really world class afterall. Barry isn't Lampard...
