Definitely agree with you there.

His passing range wasn't great, but the amount of opportunities he created with his dribbling skills was great. Looked decent for England in his limited appearances I thought. Had a canny finish on him too, though he wasn't the best at striking the ball.

Dyer's level wasn't that great imo. Dyer was quality when he was fully fit IMO.

It seemed he was available for plenty of league games last term, but was overlooked by Pardew. I like him, and under another manager he would flourish. He's a creative player with an eye for a good pass, he can run with the ball effectively but he hasn't got the ability to tackle so he will be held back under Pardew.

I think football is moving on from the Darren Bent type of striker, nowadays you need to get so much more from your front men. For the prices being bandied around, he wouldn't be so bad, and he is near enough guaranteed to hit around 10 goals a season in the league. Cisse was on and off and we don't have any other recognised striker on our books who could come in and look like being a threat. I think this signing would push Cisse on too. Healthy competition and all that. Unless Pardew wrongly tries to play both together.

I've gone from "we shouldn't sign him, he turned us down for money, his attitude must be bad" to "if he's found not guilty, sign him up". Football fans are so fickle.

It's all about who bring in if Perchy is to go. He's massively replaceable, though just how big of a miss he'll be in the dressing room is unknown.

Was basically a free loan ffs. Was he awsome in Russia? As he looked out of shape and cumbersome during his return to England.

Rooney is absolute quality, no mistake about it. He'd be a big loss and huge blow to Moyes start as manager if he were to leave this window.

Even if we sign Aubemeyang, it's still Kinnear calling the shots and Pardew coaching the team. The future is still bleak.

I read the football forum here a whole lot less now he has been placed in charge. There's always something with him, he's going to continue to say stupid things and make this club the butt of everyones jokes for the 3 years and beyond he's going to be here.

If we sell Cabaye, it's a massive worry over who's going to come in when any signing will have to be given the rubber stamp by Kinnear.

Aye, no ill feeling towards him.

Kone is a threat and would be a decent option, not necessarily a starter though. Is £5m really that much dead money for Everton?

Another opportunity for Joe to embarrass himself and the club.

Abeid is a disappointment but he's had a canny year in Scotland, he'll be sorted for a move. Amalfitano was a strange one given his age. Thought he was lightweight but forward thinking in his play. I don't think he'd break into the first team here any time soon. Was worth a shot.

Far, far too early to get pissed off over lack of transfers. That comes later.

I'd keep him around the squad as he could be an option off the bench if we're in a winning position. I don't think he's totally useless. But when Kinnear mentions 3-4 going out, you'd like to think it's someone like Jonas who is expendable.

Has anybody else had poo just come out of their ass?

Potentially one of the players Kinnear has spoken about moving on? Or wishful thinking?

Serious? I thought £2m would be about right.

Tomkins isn't awful, he's just extremely average. Williamson out, Tomkins in with the money we receive. I think that's a worthwhile swap.

Surely a better option out there for him than QPR.

Wish I hadn't read this transcript of the Monday night interview. Totally clueless this bloke. http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/joe-kinnear-radio-interview-line-by-line-1960189

The club are just working out how they're going to announce this. It's possible they might just not say anything and just let him crack on with his job.
