Who do you think Moyes should cut from his squad and who do you think he should buy for next season? Sunderland are down, and their entire squad is up for sale. If West Ham go down, then they will have a long list of players to offload. Our squad: (italic = players who need to go IMO ) Goalkeepers: Richard Wright Steve Simonsen Paul Gerrard Defenders: Steve Watson Alessandro Pistone Alan Stubbs David Weir David Unsworth Gary Naysmith Joseph Yobo Peter Clark Tony Hibbert George Pilkington Sean O'Hanlon Midfielders: Niclas Alexandersson Mark Pembridge Li Tie Thomas Gravesen Scot Gemmill Tobias Linderoth Alex Nyarko Juliano Rodrigo Lee Carsley Kevin McLeod Leon Osman Forwards: Thomasz Radzinski (29) Kevin Campbell Duncan Ferguson Wayne Rooney Nick Chadwick Only four players, but the truth is that Everton can't afford to get rid of the rest. We need all our youth, especially Hibbert, Clark and obviously ROONEY. Duncan Ferguson (£1.5M) Scot Gemmill (FREE) Alex Nyarko (£1.5M) Niclas Allexandersen (£1.5M) We've been trying to sell Nyarko for ages, to think we wasted £4.5M....and the crap he's coursed us. No one wants him, but he's still rated around £3M. We should cut his transfer price in half to get rid of him. Ferguson is back, but in another 10 games he'll be out all season. Too injury prone, he should be worth £4M with the talent he has, but no one will buy him at that price. No one will buy him at £2M. Allexandersen is just a waste of space, might be a Swedish international, but he hasn't done anything for. That will leave £4.5M for Moyes (probably wishful thinking). Moyes should have at least £5M to spend anyway. So lets say £10M in total (at the minimum. Who Everton have been linked to in recent weeks Wolves (left back) Lee Naylor (£3m) Arsenal (right winger) Jermaine Pennant (£2m) according to the BS of toffeeweb West Ham (midfielder) Lee Bowyer (£6m) If West Ham go down The entire Sunderland squad Real Madrid (midfielder) Steve McManaman (Free Transfer) Load of BS in my opinion. Brescia (midfielder) Markus Schopp (£nominal fee) Fell out with his manager Celtic (midfielder) Colin Healy (Free Transfer)
Bowyer would be a mistake in my opinion. Its a shame he'll never be as good as he was a couple years ago. He had a bad time with Leeds this year and he's played like crap with West Ham. His attitude is all wrong and IMO, thats just not the kind of player everton should spend valuable money on. I'd only be in favor of Everton taking him is he was free, or close to it.
How about Reyna? With my American bias aside, I think he'd do well with Everton. If Everton could work his price down, then I think he'd be good. And I don't buy that injury prone label he gets.
He's the type of player we need, and I read in the mirror newspaper than he's up for sale for about £2 million. Moyes is definetely going to buy a couple of midfielders this summer and he could be the one. As for Bowyer I agree with you, but I don't really think I'd have him for free either, because he's scum, I don't think he's the type of player (attitude wise) that Moyes would buy anyway. Gavin MCann looks set to leave Sunderland for £1.5M, Everton could buy him back. We've also been linked with Jason Koumas again.
i'd take koumas, no questions asked...i've liked him for quite a while now. undoubtedly, the area we need to sort out is our midfield.
What about Bellion? He's fast, he's creative on the dribble, he could open things up, and Sunderland will definitely sell him. Forgive me, but is Koumas the young forward for WBA? I'm thinking of the guy who scored a great goal for them back in January. As for what area Everton is strongest in, I really don't think there is one. I think there is plenty of room for improvement everywhere, with the exception of goalkeeping. Another central defender, a midfielder, and a forward would be great, if its possible financially.
It had in the "Daily Star" newspaper today...... Everton are favourites to lure midfielder Michael Brown from Sheffield United. Brown has been the key player in the Blades' push for promotion and their FA and Worthington Cup Semifinal campaigns. United have offered him a double-your-money £8,000-a week deal. But 26-year-old Brown may be tempted by the chance of play with Wayne Rooney and possibly in Europe.
