Getting Howard, J-Lo and AJ last summer was considered by the majority of the fans as a successful summer. I was thinking then what would be considered a success this summer?

- Getting Arteta to sign an extended/better contract or at the very least get some £10-12 m. for him.

- Signing M. Fernades on a permanent contract

- Signing David Nugent (will go for £6-8 m.)

- Signing Steve Sidwell (free)

- Signing Matthew Etherington (£1½ m.)

- Signing Nigel Reo-Coker (£5 m.)

- Signing Leighton Baines (£3 m.)

- Signing Billy Jones (£½ m.)

- Selling Beattie (Sunderland), McFadden, Naysmith & Wright (Rangers), van der Meyde (back to Holland) and Pistone (back to Italy)

That would be great summer in my book (just getting Nugent would probably do it).

Dane i can never take anything you say seriously again

Dane, you'll thank me. So will Evertonians when we don't buy half of WBA and Wigan's players.

A successful for Everton right now is getting Fellaini to sign a contract. Anything else is a bonus. Nil Satis Nisi Optimum!

Ha ha, long time since I made that thread. At the time all those players would have strengthen us. Sidwell on a free would be good even today and so would Reo-Coker. I can't even remember who Billy Jones was!

Still a successful summer 2011 would be getting McCarthy, Morrison, N'Zogbia and Gyan/Long. Then again ask me in 2015 and I might have a different answer for you.
