Sean Mc Dermotts (396 Posts)	Well lads, i know there are a few evertonians on here and was wondering what your fellings are on the lack of transfer activity at Goodison this summer? even the rumourmill is poor, canales on loan? lewis holtby? the only rumour i likw is swopping billy plus cash for aiden Mc Geady, now that would be a cracker if it happened but i can`t see it. Personally i think the squad does not need major alterations if the key players stay, and on a bright note at least Bothroyd has gone elsewhere!

An Fear Marún agus Bán (1,931 Posts)	Ya, another frustrating summer in the transfer market. I`ll be happy enough if none of the current squad are sold off. If the Yobo deal can eventually be completed it might generate enough cash to bring in another squad player, the days of expecting a new player for a record transfer fee are long gone. Mc Geady for Bily might be an interesting option, if only for the fact that he couldn`t be any worse than the Russian. They play Bury in a pre-season friendly tonight, Fellaini and The Yak both starting. It`s imperative that Fellaini is not sold, and while I`d love to see the Yak back to the player he was pre his achilles injury, it`s highly unlikely. Cahill should be revitalised following a good summer break, and who knows even Saha might be able to string a few games together. Hopefully, having one years Premiership experience under his belt will have benefitted Beckford and he`ll be slotting on a regular basis this season. All in all, not a whole pile to be getting excited about, but I still believe theres a stronger squad there than say at the likes of Sunderland, who have made 9 Summer signings. Top 7/8 at best again, League cup of F.A cup only chance of glory.

Sean Mc Dermotts (396 Posts)	Pretty much agree with all you have said, i dont think everton can rely on Saha, fantastic when he plays but 20 games seems to be the max to hope for given his recent record with injuries, i hope the Moyesiah play 2 strikers in home games as well, i find that Cahill off a main striker in away games is very effective but does not pose enough of pressure on opposition at Goodison, i think Beckford did really well for his first season in the prem even if he is a litle petulant

An Fear Marún agus Bán (1,931 Posts)	A return to form for Arteta would be a welcome boost too, he was shíte for most of last season....not good enough when you`re the highest paid player in the squad.

Sean Mc Dermotts (396 Posts)	I think the best hope is a couple of loans, fernabache are in the turkish match fixin scandal so no money comin for Yobo, good point about `our tater` he was not these last season hopefully a full preseason will see him, fellani and cahill hit the ground runnin

cerebus (3,258 Posts)	Goodison is best seen at night, these days. Great memories of watching them in away games in London during the 70s Mackenzie, Lyons, Thomas, Latchford et al. Used to watch Arsenal even though Alan Ball had left and they had three Dubs playing for them, back in the day.Not the same though. This time next year WE will be....

He`s technically good and has a rocket of a shot on him, but physically he doesn`t look strong enough for the Premiership and appears frightened in a lot of games, his performance at Old Trafford last season was disgraceful.
