Player Valuation: £80m
Q1: What have you made of how Moyes has done for Manchester United this season?
Not surprised he's struggled, he's a decent, above average manager, but not really up to the job of managing ManU.
Q2: Where do you think Manchester United will finish in the league come the end of the season?
6th
Q3: RM has had a great first season in charge, do you think that he will be able to sustain this while evolving the side away from the one he predominantly inherited?
Yea. It'll be harder next year because you'll presumably do better and Spurs might actually get a decent manager, but he's a much stronger character than many give him credit for and I think we'll improve as a team next season. That might not translate into a higher finish though.
Q4: Do you fear Roberto Martinez could land a job at a bigger club (e.g. Arsenal) so soon after doing such a wonderful job in one season at Everton?
No, I can't see him moving to another English club in the short or medium term. Options abroad might interest him but I think he'll still be here in three years time.
Q5: What is the biggest difference between Moyes' Everton and Martinez's Everton?
Style and belief. We often played good football under Moyes but, when it got tough, he reverted to pragmatism. Roberto's a breath of fresh air in comparison.
Q6: Do you think you'll finish fourth this season?
No, fifth.
Q7: Do you think your club will be able to handle the heavy schedule with European football next year, especially with the number of players you brought in on loan this season?
We might struggle. We'll need another 4 or 5 squad members to cover the extra games. If we get them in decent quality thn we'll be OK, otherwise it'll be tough.
Q8: Which player have you seen the biggest improvement in this season compared to last?
Oveido, always thought he was a decent backup to Baines but he was a complete revelation.
Q9: Which player has surprised you the most with their levels of consistency and performances?
Gareth Barry. He's one of those players you only really appreciate when you see him week in, week out.
Q10: Which team would you prefer to win the league out of Liverpool, Chelsea and Manchester City, and which team out of those do you think will win the league this season?
Prefer - Chelsea, think Liverpool will win it though
Q11: Are there any youth prospects you have that you’re excited about/looking forward to perhaps see breakthrough in the future?
I'm expecting Browning and Garbutt to feature more next season. It would be nice to see McAleny breaking through as well, but I think that's less likely. We also have someone called Kone who's young for his years and might surprise a few next season.
Q12: What signings do you think/hope your club will make this summer?
Havn't a clue to be honest
Q13: What are your goals for the club next season?
Win a trophy and qualify for Europe, ideally Champions League.
Q14: Which XI would you like to see your team field against us?
Howard, Coleman, Distin, Stones, Baines, Mirallas, Barkley, Barry, McCarthy, Naismith and Lukaku
Q15: Finally, your predictions for the match?
1-1 draw. Only kidding, we'll smash you 2-1.
