Dont think Baines will leave this window, for an EPL side anyway. Liverpool are the only club that have a real need for him if City get Clichy

Not being smart mate but wouldn't Arsenal need someone? That Kieran Gibbs fella is always injured.

As says on the Asenal thread that Wenger will plump for Gibbs as 1st choice and he doesnt like spending cash on strikers/midfielders so i doubt he'd spend the cash everton would want for Baines

Hence, why Arsenal will never win anything.

Everton will introduce a new competitive pricing structure for Barclays Premier League matches next season – including money off standard prices for at least two fixtures.
Following on from the season ticket price freeze announced for 2011/12 earlier this year, Blues officials have revealed that a new grading system will be introduced for all league games at Goodison Park. There will be five categories of game - grade A-E - with the prices reflecting the scale and the timing of the fixture.

The grade A game will carry the highest premium whilst the Club has introduced Grade E games that will be cheaper than the standard 2011/12 prices. Grade D is the standard matchday price for next season and covers 50 per cent of fixtures. Alongside the new grading system junior prices remain half the price of adult fixtures for all games and in all areas of the stadium.

Chief Executive Robert Elstone said: “The changes we have opted to make for next season have come about following research we conducted in last season’s fans’ survey. “We asked a wide range of our supporters to identify what they believed was the optimum pricing for attending matches at Goodison Park and for 2011/12 we have managed to build our entire pricing structure around this – both season tickets and match by match prices. “In what continue to be tough economic times, we are aware that we needed to make some positive changes, as well as keeping the popular junior offer from last season and we hope as many fans as possible will be able to take advantage over the coming campaign."

CATEGORIES 2011/12

A Liverpool Standard + £5 Standard + £2.50 Standard + £3.75

B Manchester United and Manchester City Standard + £4 Standard + £2 Standard + £3

Think thats a good idea to help people go to lower grade games on the day.

Phil Neville contract extension done and dusted. Word is that he just asked to see the contract and signed it. Didn't make any unnecessary demands etc. Can't help but like the lad, even if his footballing ability is sometimes called into question.

I can see him being a future Everton manager.

Wish the transfer of players out of the club would happen already.

Seems to be taking ages with Yak and Yobo.

Me too as we need to sell before we buy.

Looks like Rodwell could be the one on the way out. Probably the best option if we can get 20 mil for him

It saddens me to say it but best of luck to the lad.

He'd a poor season but I think that was because of the injuries he had. I'd be happy to see a few teams get into a bidding war for him and if he's sold see if Ross Barkley is good enough to make the grade.

Mates of mine in Liverpool say that he's fond of the rock star lifestyle. He'd be better off at Chelsea if that's the case.

eh i dunno

Jaysus its all happening at Goodison this transfer window lads isnt it :eek: A 17 year old kid rejoins on loan. WTF :mad:

He was playing in the academy anyway and is a good player. Don't see what the issue is with? They aren't exactly lauding it as a big summer signing?

We have no money to buy players. End of... If we do, it will be when Yobo and Yak are sold. Combined with the Vaughan money, should have about 12 million to spend maybe?

Doubt we'll raise 12m from the above 3 and even if we did Moyes wouldnt get all of it. Now wheres my euromillions ticket til i check it. If i win the €170m i'll buy Moysie a striker

Would estimate around the following:

Yak - 6 to 8 Million

Yobo - 2 Million

Vaughan - We got around 2 million for him (undisclosed)

eh i dunno

3m for Yobo and 3-4m for Yak imo.

Even with 10m who could Moyes buy. Would spend it all on a striker but cant think of anyone we could get that would bag 15 goals a season.

I've heard he's decent but he won't get near the first team this season.

Was Bily the last player we signed?

Beckford?

He was free. Could be Coleman. Trying to figure it out without Google.

Weren't Johnny, Bily & Distin bought out of the Lescott money. It must be one of them.

eh i dunno

If Bily was my last sigming i wouldnt expect more cash off my boss to be honest. What a waste of 9m :mad: Panic buy in a mad rush to spend the Lescott cash

Heitinga was signed right at the end of that transfer window for 6m

The Yobo deal will go thru for £3.5 Million I think. (Can't understand why the likes of
Blackburn, Wolves & Wigan etc aren't bidding for him. He'd be a great signing for them)

We only have £1 Million from the Vaughan deal. Another £1.5 Million is add-on's for games played, Norwich surviving, new contract being signed etc etc. The usual.

As for Yak, our only real option at the moment is to sell him off to Turkey too. We won't get more than £4 Million for him. That's £8.5 Million tops altogether! If no bid of that amount comes in for Yak, we'll still have him next season.

If a good bid comes in for Bily (most likely from Russia), he will go too. A good bid would be £6 Million - topping us up to £14.5 million. However, unless this bid comes in around the same time as the sales of Yobo and Yak (hopefully) go thru, we won't be signing anyone expensive.

Selling Mucha is also a possibility but won't fetch much (pardon the pun).

Neither Rodwell, Baines or Fellaini will be sold. Heitinga and Arteta are the only other (far fetched) possibilities.

it said on evertontv that they were holding out for 6million for yobo

Look at Leicester City they are spending more then Everton.

Everton got f**k all money..

get over it.

I cant really see Moyes sticking much longer tbh...

its sicking that a team as famous as Everton got less money than a local chipper.

Ashley who?

Hands off.

Bothroyd having a medical with QPR , glad we`re not getting him as was once speculated.

eh i dunno

Finally a new signing!!!!!!!!!!!!

Alan Irvine returns as Acadamey manager :pac:

And Yobo is now back training with us......depressing times

Irvine is a good coach and an ex blue. He's also good mates with Moyes from their time working together so it's win win for me.

The Yobo situation is a different story.

Everton cant even sell a player, let alone buy one.

this is going to be a dog of a season i think unfortunately.

and no, we didnt sign the dog. :mad:

Irvine should be promoted back to assistant manager, get Round out of there, he's performed horribly.

In line with Everton always doing the opposite of what I expect, I reckon we'll finish 4th with Yobo as our player of the season!

ciaran76

Let's hope Yobo and Moyes start talking again or he will waste away in the reserves.

I agree with you on Irvine. Much better than Round who looks like a clown with his little head set thing on.

Im giving up on this transfer window already. How depressing seeing Stoke, Sunderland and even Leicester spend huge money and we buy no one :mad:

May buy the new home jersey to cheer me up

They haven't had a balanced article on there in years. Not even going to click on the link.

However, one of my mates in work was telling me about the Everton situation getting a 1/2 hour on Talksport last night and the NOTW ran an article recently. Bills had the balls to hold out this long but one the press starts listening to the fans complaints and takes them seriously they'll love the story. Unfortunately, I can see it all ending in tears.

Also got about 1/2 hour this morning too on the radio.

Everton will somehow finish 7th again this season as they always do. I'd really love to know how you do it, but it will happen

Laois_Man

Enough of this shoyte about it being a depressing season!

True the likes of Sunderland have spent - but they have also LOST the likes of Henderson and Bent for around £40 Million. We could spend over £60 Million if we sold Rodwell, Baines and Fellaini but would we want to? Not me!

Man Utd are pretty much the only team that I think have improved since new year - and that's not even a significant improvement considering what they too have lost (Liverpool fans think they have improved massivley - but I don't). Even if Sunerland, Stoke and the like spend another £20 Million, they'll still be weaker than us! Sunderland haven't bought one player I would have liked except maybe Westwood for free as back-up 'keeper. We haven't really missed out on one other single player who I feel we should have gone for at the price/wages they were going for. Plus the likes of Villa, Arsenal, Blackburn, Wigan etc etc etc are, or soon will be significantly weaker than last season!

Plus...we WILL have new players.....even if it's only loan signings like Sergio Canales from Real Madrid.

I wouldn't worry about us (Sunderland) mate. Your first 11 is still streets ahead of ours, although we do have more depth to our squad. I guarantee you you'll finish ahead of us. Everton will start poorly and come December fly out of the blocks and finish 7th. Same every year

Until 2 years ago, we had finished in the 5th or 6th for a few years in a row.

likewise, I can't understand how Sunderland were up there in the top third of the leage until Christmas and then droped like a stone! It seems to be something that follows Steve Bruce around! The injuries excuse doesn't cut it when you look at what a much smaller squad like ours can do with a lot of injuries!
