4th place or F.A Cup and a mid table finish?

[bluebloodinmyveins]

I want a trophy. I really think this year we will get one.

Fa cup this year of this i am certain.

Top four. We need to show our best players that we can compete with the best week in, week out, not just a few flukey results in matches the other top teams may not even care about. Portsmouth won the FA Cup few years ago. How are they doing? Also look at Leicester when O'Neil was there. To challenge for the title we need sustained growth and the possilbility of top level European football. 4th gives us that, winning the FA Cup doesn't.

This. Ask Portsmouth how that FA Cup helped them. We need CL money at this club and we need CL football to keep Arteta and Pienaar and everyone else who's any good on our team. This isn't really even debatable in terms of today's economics.

fa cup, league cup and a top ten finish that will do, if we can't win everything that is. I'm up the treble

Getting in 4th place would allow us to keep Arteta, Pienaar, etc. If we don't get a CL spot, we may lose our best players and finish even lower the next season. It's an obvious choice imo.

we`ve kept them tho, the FA cup is a major trophy and always will be

 

[keverton]

would have to be 4th place finish for me as we all know that its the champions league which keeps players and also attracts players which is what will help us reach and move on to the next level

If we don't get a CL spot then they will leave next year. Where have you been?

I'd like to hear you say that when artera and pienaar are walking out the door to go to city.

 

[RFUS]

I don't know...

Finishing 4th, to then not have an impact in the CL is certainly not comparable to a trophy. BUT, if you get a run in the CL and get some proper finances, you can build even more. And then you can win more than the odd -- and unexpected -- trophy.

We get 4th this season, which allows us to keep players and maybe bring in new players that wouldn't come unless we were in the CL. It will allow us to get better which will help us win more trophys in the future rather than just one.

You have to be patient guys. Greatness is just around the corner for Everton FC.

I said our squads good enough to get 4th didn't I? And arteta wants champions league football. That's why there were all the rumours this year.

.... i get it, attract mercenary players. tbh - winning league games and watching league games is the best but i want us to win the fa cup and all it entails
