Not sure if it's the fight for competition that's helping some recent performances, but we have 3 superb centre backs at the moment.

I can't work out which one's my favourite, but JH is certainly putting up a case and is my player of the season so far I think.

What an awesome challenge earlier too.

"Great performance of #Everton and our fans in #Sunderland. We have the best fans in the world! #facup #wembley #proudtobeblue"
 
Would love to see Moyes announce Heitinga as next Club Captain right at the end of this season.

Benefits would be enormous:

Genuine thanks to Neville, but it's time for him to move into the management/coaching role he would excel at.

Would cement the Moyes/Heitinga relationship

Heitinga is begining to "get" Everton, this would accelerate that process

Would keep Jagielka as third choice CB or perhaps allow him to move, freeing up funds and allowing Duffy to move to third choice

We would continue to play better football etc etc.

Seems even more relevant after last night !
 
I don't know if this has been mentioned but I read somewhere today that he's in the last 18 months of his contract now. I didn't realise this at all.

And the rumor is that he's working a new deal. I like our CB's, and he's very good. For me, I'd like to see Duffy get a few more games, but now they're a bit too important.
 

He signed at the beginning of 09/10 didn't he? If he signed a four year contract at the time then you'd be right.

Hopefully he can follow Fellaini in signing a new deal. I'm delighted he's becoming so important a part of our team. Always rated him.

Don't like these calls to bin Jagielka off though, he deserves better than that. If he is to become our 3rd choice center half then he'd likely be the best 3rd choice in the league. Would only make sense if we got a daft offer i.e. £14m+. The only side I could've seen giving us that was Arsenal but Koscielny's form likely means their interest is over.
 
It was funny I was watching the quarter final with a friend and I said how good Johnny had been this season and at that very second he does a millimeter perfect sliding tackle to dispossess Sessignon and come away with the ball.

Class
 
I sincerely hope he does sign a new deal. He's been out best CB this season and if he was to be sold this summer we wouldn't get a price that reflects his ability and worth to the club. I think eventually him and Jagielka will be our CB pairing but at the moment Distin is still doing brilliant.
 

He said that this season has been the best of his career

What a legend, hope we sign him up again, definitely should be the most payed defender
