    Everton have announced that Rodrigo will be back at Bellefield this week. This is great news as we close in on a CL spot. The creative mid fielder from brasil will help Everton in an area that they have been lacking in all season.

    Yeah this is good news for Everton. How would Moyes line up the team if Rodrigo were on the field though? Would he line them up in more of a diamond with Graveson as holding midfielder?

    Probably in place of Li Tie as a diamond with our two forward, Rads and Mcbride/Rooney Graves as central mid.
    Now that Hibbert and Chadwick are just waiting for a reserve squad appearence the possabilities are endless. What a nice problem for Moyes to have with everyone back this late in the season and eyeing an a CL spot.

    Not to mention the possibility that Big Dunc might actually make the long-awaited comeback. Although, this "comeback" of his has been going on for quite a while.

    No I didnt even want to bring it up. I loved the guy but I feel he has been a drain on the club and should seriously think about hanging them up.

    Ive seen him play last seasonfor his club side in Brasil. Brilliant player. He has one hell of a shot from a free kick. nad can thread a ball on a string.

    So when is his debut expected? He's nearly there but are we talking Southampton or "soon"?

    Moyes will want to put him in a few reserve matches first to test him under match conditions Probably WestHam, but more likely Arsenal.

    Ok. So do you think he'll be able to walk into the lineup or will he struggle? If he gets in, which player is it at the expense of?

    I think he wouldnt have come back till he was ready, but Moyes will use him off the bench till hes proved himself ready. Probably Li Tie will be giving up his spot.

    I thought that Moyes wanted to use him out wide left or up top.

    At the start of the season when Moyes wasnt sure what he had upfront with Rads and untested Rooney, he was using him as a sub in that position, but he is a natural play maker and Rads after an injury laden first season and a brilliant second season wont need him as a striker more as a support for them.
