Coxaux Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 Still think when everyone is fully fit Villa have the best eleven outside the top four, if only they had a bit of depth. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newcastle Fan Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 Still think when everyone is fully fit Villa have the best eleven outside the top four, if only they had a bit of depth. Villa, Tottenham, Pompy, Man City all have better starting line-ups then the one 1878 put up imo. Anyway regarding Smith..i really hope its true, who the hell is Nicko btw?

gazza ladra Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 I'd take the Spurs *hock, spit*, Aston Villa & Portsmouth first XI's before the Everton first XI tbh. Villa? Really? No, really? And Spurs new midfield looks solid, but I'm not convinced. Cahill has made a believer of me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alberto2005 Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 If we were in Everton's situation, with that size of squad and those mix of players we'd be just as desperate and we would be writing the exact same things here. What mix of players is that then? We still probably have the best first 11 outside the top 4. We just need to boost numbers. Who is your starting 11 ? Seriously 1878 what's your starting 11? I'm curious now. Howard Neville Yobo Lescott Baines Rodwell Pienaar Osman Cahill Arteta Yakubu Doesn't look that strong to me, Rodwell? Has he even played a Premiership game?

Tsunami Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 Would be pleased to get Smith off the wage bill. He has always given 100% but hasn't been a success here, if he goes on the score goals for Everton then good luck to him; he wasn't going to do it here & his sale may allow us to make another signing (I should say it is now imperative that we sign a striker - a target man - not David Healy).

Absolutely, agree with the sentiment, it was a bad move for him, whether it works at Everton who knows. I also think if KK is willing to let him move on we have a midfielder and Striker lined up to come in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
brummie Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 You lucky, lucky bastards. 3m for Smith? Jesus. Poor 1878. re Villa's starting XI. Friedel Shorey/Bouma - Laursen - Davies - Young (assuming signs) Young - Reo-Coker - Sidwell - new RM Carew - Agbonlahor That's not bad, but we need a right sided mifielder and could do with a proven goalscorer. And potentially more creativity in the middle of the field. The problem is depth. I still think Everton will do very well next year. Spurs have the strongest XI by some way.

wrightstuff83 Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 again, agree with the above sentiments, really wanted it to work out for him, but it didnt in epic proportions! Now, who is the striker we all want? As already said, Ashton would be ideal, but there is still something about Gomis which makes me think he would be an awesome coup!

mrmojorisin75 Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 interesting, if villa & everton are considered to have the best starting 11's outside the top four i've just cheered the fuck up we're 2 signings away from having a starting 11 that will make both of them a joke as big a joke as people honestly believing spurs don't have the 5th best team really but that's a moot point....

Kimbo Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 Spurs defiently have the 5th best team in the leauge anyone who says different is a spa They don't have the 5th best team until they prove it.

James Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 Spurs defiently have the 5th best team in the leauge anyone who says different is a spa They've got good players, but most are flawed, and this can breed inconsistency, that a team with good spirit and an inkling of abilty, such as Everton or Villa last season can beat.

The Quichà Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 Good god I hope this guy knows what he's talking about and we actually get rid of Smudge. Jesus he's been pitiful.

REEEEALLY? does anyone consider them that good? pitiful Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
chicago_shearer Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 I actually reckon Pompey might have the best first XI outside the top 4. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gazza ladra Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 Spurs have great players... up top and in the midfield. But their defence stinks and they haven't accomplished anything. They finished 3 points in front of us last season ffs. They'll be fifth best when they prove it. Everton on the other hand aren't all that impressive on paper, but they're a tough team to beat. Their backline trumps Spurs, Portsmouth, and Villa. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
