Player Valuation: £225k
Hi guys Toffeesforme here, just wanted to make a few comment really. Firstly I'm a Toffee and have been all my life. Born a blue. :)

I'm sure many of you felt the same stomach churning disappointment yesterday as i felt, when we didn't sign a midfielder. Now i see we spent the money from Lescott, but the actual club did not spend much if anything. Now i know everyone bangs on about us being skint, but it just doesn't make sense to me. We have achieved a good league position for the past few years, in Europe, and achieved a cup final last year. Now i do not declare to be a financial expert, but for Everton FC to say they have NO money available must be a total lie. Now obviously if anyone can come on here and show me how we are so "poor", then i am happy to listen.
Now we can all blame whoever for our supposedly financial problems, but i will not slate Bill. Yes, i am disappointed that he has not got the money to invest in Everton Football club. However he has brought us from the dark days of Johnson. That said i look forward to the time comes when Everton FC is taken over. I don't personally want some rich Arab guy to come in and make us a "Global" force, and David Moyes act like a kid in a sweet shop when it comes to buying players. However someone who can invest in the club and get us fans excited would be more than welcome i feel.
On Lescott, i cant believe we managed to get £20+ for the guy. He is worth nowhere near that amount. Yes he scored goals for us, but in my opinion that was down to us being well drilled in set pieces, not his great goalscoring ability. I look forward to Distan getting a few goals for us this year. I personally believe we have a stronger team that last year. For selling one good player we have acquired three. I know some will say we haven't added numbers to last years squad, but are we really going to miss Nuno or Shandy? Really? No we aren't.
I live in South Wales and get up to as many games as my work and family commitments let me, but every time i get inside that ground, look about and see so many fantastic fellow blues, the hairs on my neck stand up. Everton FC really does have the greatest fans in the world bar none, and i am pleased that i am one of them. This year may well be a struggle for us, but i have faith that we will achieve a good position in the league come the end of the season. So on that point my utter disappointment has now gone, and I'm eagerly awaiting to see us rise up the table once more. We have gained three very good players, and i cant wait to see them all playing in our blue shirt. And i for one will be at our next game and i look forward to giving a fantastic reception to our new blues.(y)
That's it really guys.
Toffeesforme a proud blue.
NSNO.
:):D


Hope this hasn't board you all rigid lol.

Welcome matey.


I felt our transfers were better than last year, and our defence looks stronger.

I'm more disappointed about not getting a pacy right winger, but Billy seems to be one that can be useful.

As for a midfielder...the Banega deal was a bad dud, and he would've been great.

But the pro's and con's for me are that we have talanted midfielders that can play centrally - Pienaar, Billy, Ossie - so spending £10million on a creative midfielder who's only going to be dropped when Arteta is fit doesnt make sense especially with our finances.

Heitinga is an absolute steal IMO. Distin rock solid. With the new lad Billy is going to be exciting to see what he can do and where he plays
 
Im gonna lie and say i read every word, and it was very interesting reading. The part about the Sheep the sailor and an open top bus made me laugh the most. (y)

Yeah i guess your right about a new creative midfielder. Just when we were mentioned with vdv i let my head and heart run away. ha ha. I'm pleased with Heitinga will be fantastic for us, just surprised Villa Shitty or Spurs didn't go for him too, they usually do.
Thanks for the welcome. :)
 
i read it twice but still didn't manage to fathom wether or not you think pineapple is an acceptable topping on pizza ?

and what about pasties, or are you a pukka man, they dont do them do they ?
 
Hello, i think everyone on here wished we brought a pacey right winger, but we have to be thankful for small mercies, the signing of Heitinga is a great bit of business, especially when you look at Villa who brought James Collins for 5 million and we got a Dutch international who can play 3 different positions for 6million.
Welcome anyway.
 

Welcome mate - the call in cost us over 10 mill by all accounts - while i would imagine some was put aside anticipating a thumbs up in Nov - who knows if it doesnt get the go ahead we may be in the wonga.

Do you think he'll swing off to the right side when MA comes back? Think he'll rate out there?
