..I see your point, Joey, but that won't happen. It makes you think that whoever we purchase will not necessarily be cover for Funes Mori, but might come straight into the team. It might be better splashing the cash rather than a stop gap.

Theres no way to drop Schneiderlin. He is the defensive lynchpin in front of the back 4.
I really really like Gueye, but lets be honest, he hasnt shown enough going forward yet. I think in games where we need to play more defensive, he should always be playing alongside Schneiderlin. But in games where we know we are going to have 80% possession, he should be subbed out for the likes of Klaassen, Rooney, and our strikers, and we should play with just 1 defensive minded midfielder.

Imo any CB bought with be for back up only, that's why Collins from West Ham was mentioned, we need to spend our money on Barkley's and Lukakus's replacements. Keane for this season will have to carry one of Williams,Jags,Holgate(Whoever the back will be) and Mori when fit. I reckon Williams will be the one Koeman won't give up on him after just a year.

Schneiderlin and Gueye are great player, but I just really enjoy Davies energy and craft going forward he is so much better that them 2 at making things happen.
How can you judge he's following last season's pattern before the new season has started?

Spot on mate. He's far better than just a holding midfielder

I think you greatly underestimate how much controlling the middle of the field helps you both offensively and defensively. And I think you underestimate how much of a difference on the defensive side of the ball a good CM makes.
You HAVE to have a calm and composed defensive midfielder who can protect the back 4, and distribute forward, and that is what Schneiderlin is. I thought we settled the issue when we saw what we were like for just a couple of games without him late last season. Going forward is great, energy is great, but it would be much like having a great looking car without an engine. Youve got to start with the core.

Three at the back, will give Kenny and Baines chance to get forward and provide us with some width in attack. Schneiderlin and Davies in front of the back four. Rooney up front with support from Ramirez and Klaassen

I actually think Schneiderlin just edges out Gueye as he is just that little more composed, but a lot of our best performances last season were when Davies was playing. Thats Koemans problem he has so many good midfielders now so it will be interesting how he uses them.

No its just a name I heard mentioned and used an example of roughly the type of cover CB I think we may well sign, bit like the RB cover Koeman signed. Come on I've been supporting Everton since 1988 it's been a long long time since I believed news paper football gossip . But I am a realist and we aren't going to have a 30 million plus player in every position just yet.

The season turned around when Davies broke into the team. He doesn't get the credit he deserves.
