If mercenaries want to leave let them. Our priority should be MOYES.

[ReidM]

David is coming into his final year of contract and he could well shock the country and all of us by refusing a new deal. I love Fellaini, don't get me wrong he's my favourite player, but if he decides to go elsewhere what could you do. We'd get an immense fee and Moyes' could strengthen to negate the detriment of him leaving.

Further we saw what happened to Pienaar when he went to Spurs. Simply couldn't fit in. If a player like Fellaini would risk their aces by going elsewhere that's their gamble. All I'm concerned about Everton getting the right players for the team. Players of the Baines', Pienaar and Cahill mould.

The league is getting ridiculous. Rumours that United would have happily payed Ronaldo 500 K a week. It is ludicrous and quite disgusting that the same crap goes on with the Portsmouth scare only a few years ago. If the league keeps going how it is, with the rich top 20% of clubs paying silly wages, and the remaining 80 percent borrowing non-existant monopoly money from the bank to make ends meet, there's gonna be a bust eventually, there's going to be a cap eventually, and there's going to be a switch up of the whole system in conjunction with the fact the Premier League wants teams to integrate more English players. It can't be done because only the rich teams can afford it.

The important thing for us is firstly keeping Moyes. Then its getting through the next 5 years, recycling the mercs who don't want to play for us, bringing down our debt, and being in a healthy position when the whole thing comes crashing down which it will, with the way wages are ridiculously increasing.

The day Moyes' leaves I'd literally shed a tear. He is the perfect man for our current situation.

In the premier league everyone is mercenary and can you blame with the amount of money being thrown at them? I for one would love a salary cap and Moyesy signing a new long term contract.

 

[Elong]

They're people with careers, not bloody volunteers mate. If they get a better paying job they're not mercenaries, they're intelligent people with ambitions.

We're not living in the romantic 1950s anymore, I wish more people would get used to it, football is a business, not a Sunday kick around.

Moyes has been doing this for some time now, but for me he generally seems to misread the game sometimes, and is loathe to try something new.

It's all about work ethic, and sometimes to the detriment of everything else good about Football. He has built and dismantled several generations throughout his tenure, but still relies heavily on arguably the two of the most one dimensional players we have.

I believe he also overlooks certain types of players that other teams all seem to have that are capable of nicking a goal or doing something special. If you look back on all the types of goals we score, I'm sure most of them are set pieces, or from a well worked passing game. Virtually none of them revolve around that sublime piece of individual skill that most of the other teams seem to be able to generate.

I think he misreads vital games, a sign of pressure clouding the simple judgements and he relies too much on the same systems. I always remember Baines hitting some absolute crackers for the Latics outside the box, but that all but seems to have been ironed out of his game.

Where I think he has excelled is in the positional sense of his teams. There is always someone to close down, to double team; were not shy of a defender, it's just a shame he has no real ideas about his attackers. The right side of Midfield, and the striking options have limited our progress over the last five years. Hopefully he has solved this over the past two windows, but we still see the gaps.

He's become a tiger in the transfer market, albeit after alot of luck and teething problems; not so much in personnel but in the timings of transfers. After sinking through several windows with players late departures, and seeing some of his gems sold off for huge numbers and making waves in the squad that never settled till Christmas, he's finally learning when and how to buy. Not that his hands haven't been tied for most of it, or due to the old catch 22 that holding firm would build a better squad, but cause prima donna players psychological problems.

I wouldn't get upset if he left; what would upset me is the next club benefiting from all the teething with us, and having to go through it again with someone new.

 

[Jamo Martinez]

If Moyes refuses a new contract, won't he be as much of a mercenary as any of the players.

 

[Christiffa25]

Moyes will not refuse a new contract. His delaying comes down to the simple fact he wanted to ensure he got the chance to rebuild his squad and some funds to move forward... Can anyone say in his posistion they would do anything different?

The type of clubs who would potentially want moyes would not be deterred by him being under contract either do I expect a signing of a new one over the next month or so.

Fellaini certainly wouldn't be a mercenary for leaving. He's give us 5 years and wants CL footy. He signed a new deal which ensure's we'll get top dollar when and if he goes and once moyes reinvests that cash I have no doubt we will come out of the other end stronger!

 

[MartSlinger]

I think Moyes will sign a new contract soon enough, however, i wouldnt blame him if he never and walked at the end of the season.

 

[Jags..class]

Not really, cos he give us 10 years, and he might want a new challenge, plus he completed his contract, Rooney and Lescott are both Mercanarys cos they both demanded to leave even tho they both had a contract.

 

[Beagers]

Yeah,if at the end of this season,it doesn't look like we are going to break our "ceiling"I wouldn't blame him for looking at Champions league,if you are a top player its where its at these days,five years at one club is a long stint nowadays and as has been said previously we would command a substantial fee,there's no-one I would trust more with the loot than Moyes so Yes it is imperative we get him to sign an extension to his deal!!

 

[Kurt.]

We could get der Kong in to replace him like and give him the whole transfer kitty to invest.

King Kong? Didn't work out too well for him climbing to the top mate.

'I wouldn't blame Moyes for leaving either.'

FFS - he doesn't do his job out of the goodness of his heart you know!

He is handsomely rewarded.

It has become, for him, a 'soft job'.

A reasonable finish in the table and he doesn't seem to have to actually win a trophy EVER???

I'll have some of that!

Because I'm sure thats what he thinks.

So Pienaar running his contract down and leaving makes him a mercenary as Fellaini would be if he left but moyes running his contract down means we should up his deal and fight to keep him and he wouldn't be a mercenary if he left . Is that right ?

There is a difference mate. Pienaar cost the club millions by running his contract down. Moyes wouldn't and fellaini signed a new deal and if leaves will ensure we get big money.

If your an important player and worth decent money.. Running ur contract down for a easy transfer out and costing ur current club millions makes u a bit of a selfish [Poor language removed]!
