Squad - what squad?!!

[toffeejack]

you've got to remember though we have a lot of versatile players, look at our defenders alone, i know heiting doesn't want to play there but he can play RB, as well as CB and DM of course, same goes to jagielka, neville can play RB, LB, DM and distin can play CB and LB
..you then get to players like coleman and gueye who can play both wings and coleman would be available at both full back regions, we defo need about 4 or 5 players IMO to be confident of a real challenge at the top 5

Vellios is always fit.

Moyes still wants to add a pacy right winger and striking cover to his squad before August 31. “I’m going to keep trying and looking around,â€￾ he said. “I’ve got a similar squad to last season. We’re certainly down on numbers a wee bit as far as squad numbers. Our team is pretty much what we finished with last season, so we could just do with keeping them fit and if we can add to it then great.â€￾

This must be the 'chink of light' Moyes was looking for from the board back in May/June. To start the new season with less players than he finished last season.

Nice one Davie.

Hopeless.

Yer rich clubs can't boast that eh? Eh?

Moyes knows how to put pressure on the board using his own contract negotiations.

Cool more signings!

Ha Ha. Even that's optimistic. "trying and looking around" is Everton code for "not a chance".

No wonder he was going mad at the pitch invasion. He'd probably been told that night all his 'hard bargaining' with the board had yielded a net loss in squad numbers for the summer.

Face it. Moyesie is just a plodder who keeps his mouth shut and sells his players on when he's ordered to.

we will prob end up with a rubbish loan again

I think a pair of loan players Like Drenthe and Straqualursi from last season, are the best we can hope for to add to the squad a bit, we wont get them particular players again, just some like them.

The only other option I could see is either resigning Saha (who is on a free) or signing Owen (also on a free).

Id say one permo and a couple of loans before this window shuts, pre Landon in the winter. TBH i would have been happy with just Pienaar on a permo and keeping eveyone.

The begining of last season was the biggest dearth in quality i remember, i think in the space of the year the level of quality of our players has jumped hugelly, when you think about it really Arteta is prob our only tangable loss in quality and we havnt even really missed him. There has been a regenration of sorts over the last two windows. The team is far more balanced.

I think we have cover in key areas, throughout the spine of the team, supplemented by the Davey "utility player".

Like i say i dont think we're finished adding yet, but i wouldnt expect much untill the last week of the window.

Im more optimistic then at the same point last year tbh.

I think the smallest squad we ever had was the year we qualified for the CL.
