No, you've mistaken my point. I wouldn't deploy him right in front of Carra and Skrtel.



He'd be in centre midfield, as the box to box midfielder he built his reputation on.



Basically, Benayoun or Kuyt up front, with the other on the right.

SSN reporting that Sol Campbell has turned down a late approach from Villa to complete his move to Notts County.

How ridiculous must the wages be that they are offering there in League 2?



He's turned down Newcastle, Villa and Hull to join Notts County. Like Lescott it says it all for his integrity.

To be fair it is the best league in the world, sexy football all the way.

Bolton allowed Hull to achieve a first in 2009.

Nice to see Rafa still losing it on the touchline, that second goal any complaints? I don't see how there could be, Reina kicked it away so they ref has to allow time.



Going back to your point on the last football thread about Everton. Arteta, we havn't heard much about to be honest, it's all been a bit quiet but initial hopes are still for September-october return. Jags is November and Yakubu is playing for the reserves tonight so hopefully he isn't far off getting back in.



It would be a shame to split the Pienaar/Baines partnership up and I'd be very suprised if Moyes did, it's a cracking left side and works so well together. Seems like he can offer a couple of positions though does our new Russian superstar





The right side of our side tho



shiiite!!!!

Still think you need a right back, I think Moyes obviously does to as you nearly signed Naughton.



This Russian is a good player, I wonder where Moyes wants to play him, though. If he plays him centrally, he'll certainly add some much needed quality in the middle.



When everybody's fit, which is a rarity at Everton, what would be the first choice XI?

Haha yeah right

Mine would be



Howard, Neville, Yobo, Lesc..(oh no wait a min

) Jags, Baines.

Arteta, Rodwell, Cahill, Felliani, Pienaar

Yakubu.



Arteta is good from centre mid but we need his flair on the wing, him and Neville link up well.

makes you laugh dont it they will put anything in the papers. There is no chance that Fergie would sell Carrick to Liverpool lol he might sell Anderson to Barca though

Be interesting to see where Moyes does play him really because wide left would disupt Pienaar and Cahill's best position is without doubt playing off the front man.



My team would be:



Howard



Hibbert Yobo Jags Baines



Neville



Arteta Fellaini Pienaar



Cahill



Yakubu

Made me laugh. T'is the type of sh*t that's usually written about our club.



Carrick's a top player, but considering Fergie wouldn't sell us a well past it Heinze, I doubt very much he'd even look at a bid from us.
