parisvilla Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 Everton already looking a better side for shipping out Cahill. They could be sniffing around top 4/5 again this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daweii Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 Relegation candidates? Villa? Pfft.. We're above Man Utd after the first game of the season, that's not too bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PieFacE Posted August 20, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted August 20, 2012 Everton already looking a better side for shipping out Cahill. They could be sniffing around top 4/5 again this season. Everton have a great ability to play well against better opposition. It's almost as if they thrive on being the under-dogs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Rev Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 Their overall record against Manchester United is worse than ours though, and that's saying something! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NurembergVillan Posted August 20, 2012 Moderator Share Posted August 20, 2012 Just in case anyone was wondering about the pros and cons of having a big man in the team, Fellaini has shown how it can work. Not sure what you mean by that really. Do you mean as is a big lump it up to him #9 or something else? Fellaini is very much a footballer who happens to dominate physically too, but his game isnt just about him being a big bastard who can win knockdowns. I mean a Fellaini type player. Proving that a big man doesn't have to mean Tony Cascarino in the modern game. Fellaini is a good all-rounder and has more to his game than just getting on the end of high balls, although he can do that we required. We'd be well set with someone like him in the side, no doubt.

The_Rev Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 I'm not sure there are that many Fellani types about though, big blokes who can play football are few and far between and more often than not they tend to be strikers. If they are any good they dont come cheap, Everton paid £15m for Fellani when he was a 20 year old prospect. It's looking like a gamble well paid off (and it has been for a couple of years to be fair) but it's not like we have been missing a trick by not having a player like Fellaini in the side, its just that there hasnt been one available.

AVFCforever1991 Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 Yeah MON decided Heskey/Harewood would be a better gamble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 im still not convinced everton have the depth, especially in midfield, barkley and coleman are the 2 back up midfielders, heitinga the back up defender they were brilliant tonight though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Rev Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 Yeah MON decided Heskey/Harewood would be a better gamble. I'm not defending the signings of either of those players, but their fees combined was literally half of what Everton paid for Fellaini. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't Stephen Nzonzi a Fellaini type player according to his wiki he's not on the small side 6ft 3 and wants out of Blackburn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Rev Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 Watching the Helsingborgs vs Celtic game on ITV. Talk about a smash and grab! Celtic have just gone 2-0 up in the 75th minute. They scored in the 2nd minute too. They spent every second of every minute in between getting absolutely battered. **** knows how they arent losing the game, but they are looking like they are through to the next round of the big cup.
