    GrandOldTeam - Season Awards

    Player of the Season: Leighton Baines (He is our most important player now imo. Best left back in the league this season, beyond a shadow of a doubt) Runner-up: Sylvain Distin (Edged out Coleman... Since berbatov handed him his arse back in september he has performed very consistently, which is...

    End of Era? Something HAS to change, Players or Manager???!

    TX Bill, The thing is though, that last night was the 'straw that broke the camel's' back for me with this group of players. Yes we have been inconsistent all season and it has been infuriating as each time we seem have finally kickstarted our season, we have followed it up by stalling...

    End of Era? Something HAS to change, Players or Manager???!

    There is no doubt about it now, this team has reached the end of the road and sadly will be remebered at best as a bunch of nearly men and at worst a rather fraudelent gang of bottlejobs/underachievers. That 'performance' tonight was an absolute disgrace and given the context and importance...

    Is revolution the way forward?

    It's an interesting article; Now if there really is not just no money BUT an urgent need to reduce the wage-bill/get some money into the club then selling off some of our bigger assets is probably the only way forward. However, if he seriously thinks we'll fetch £50m in the summer through...

    Arteta OUT, Adam IN?

    Charlie Adam has had a half a good season after an undistinguished career on the fringes of the SPL and in the Championship. Mikel Arteta has had half a bad season after spending 5 years being arguably the best player at a club that has consistently finished in top half of the Premier League...

    Charlie Adam

    An odd one this, as although he has been outstanding for Blackpool this year but with our (lack of) budget and current needs there's no way he should be considered an essential signing right now. As Mr Alio says, he wouldn't get into our 1st choice XI and its hard to see what qualities he...

    Premiership players to make up the team of the year so far

    Yeah he looks promising, was their best player on sunday I thought... he is probably better than Glen Johnson defensively already, though thats not too difficult i suppose. Maybe Seamus will eventually be moved back to RB and end up as one of the league's best? In any case the current standard...

    Premiership players to make up the team of the year so far

    Hart Ivanovic Vidic Kompany Baines Nani Nasri Adam Bale Van der Vaart Tevez How bad is the current standard of right backs btw???! Even the top 4 or 5 barely have a decent one between them.

    The inevitable

    Yeah I agree with u there mate, Moyes doesn't look like a man short of reasons to have had enough, and that could/would be the final blow... fingers crossed he re-signs then!

    Pienaar Signs for Spurs...

    I think "one good season" is a bit harsh mate... I agree he is hardly unmissable and that his actual end product is pretty lacking but I personally thought that he was great not just last year but also the 08-09 season when we got to the Cup final, especially the second half of that year when...

    The inevitable

    Yeah mate, well if Arteta's form doesnt pick up during the rest of the season I can see us subtly trying to 'offer' him around during the summer to see if there's any interest. We'd save a s*itload on his wages for a start plus say £7/8m in a fee. And if Fellaini hasnt signed a new deal over...

    The inevitable

    sadly, Arteta... I know his form is a cause for concern but I beleive he'll return to form sooner rather than later. however because he is the oldest and highest earner of the 4 u listed, he'd have to go (I also think he'd fetch the least, especially w/ his wages too). To sell Fellaini would be...

    Darren Bent to Villa

    Yeah agreed, his main attribute seems to be that he's left footed... and thus adds "balance to the side". He's ok... a real 7/10 player, he could do with another yard or two of pace to be considered a really effective player... £12m is very steep and I cant believe Villa will let him go for a loss.

    Money or Football

    Best moment of last season that! Boss team goal to go 2 up and then Lescott sitting there looking like he was ready to burst into tears. I hope he ends up reunited with Hughes at Fulham on loan, they'll have both found their level then.

    James Vaughan

    Thats a scary statistic... but Im also suprised to read that in 7 seasons as part of the 1st team squad, he's only started 8 Premier League games! (06/07 he started seven and in 08/09 he started one)... so its not like he's had much gametime at all, which I think it also highlights how badly...

    James Vaughan

    Celtic would be a great move for Vaughan IMO... big club, annual european football and a domestic league of an absolutely abysmal standard... he could fill his boots and get 20-25 goals a season if he managed to stay fit, which could eventually get him a move back to a decent prem club (or...

    Darren Bent to Villa

    I agree with Mr Damon, this is surely going to result in Young leaving... Villa have been looking to cut the wage bill so i cant see them spending £18m, with another 60k a week on Bent without some serious trimming to be done. Young has only 18 months left on his contract I think, so they're...

    Alright fellas

    thanks... and apologies for the unintended sexism! "alright evertonians" would have been a better title!

    Replacing Pienaar

    Gotta be Bily's big chance now; if we dnt try him out now, we never will... im not 100% convinced by him but he hints at having whats required to do well here. Tbh I think alongside Baines, anyone with a good touch and a bit of hard work can look decent! Ossie is a good option but I prefer him...

    The Johnny 'Colossus' Heitinga Appreciation Thread

    yeah i thought he was fine today, not to distin standard (MotM for me) but solid nontheless... much better at centre back than midfield thats for sure; personally, in terms of pure ability, i think he's better than Jags. However, he's obviously a bit of a ******** off the park, so cant say i'm...
