• I like the look of Rohl but if we get to the end of another transfer window and still haven\'t signed a proper right back after 4 years without one, I think I\'m going to take the hatchet to the hedgehog......
  Mark Taylor in Merlin Röhl embraces Everton utility role in pre-season, as search for a full-back continues
• In actual fact it was the Sheffield United manager who converted Jagielka to centre half, not Moyes.rnrnFellaini was a box to box midfielder in Belgium with Standard Liege, where he occasionally played as a defensive midfielder. Again,nothing to do with the Moyes University of mediocrity.rnrnThe only reason Lescott was played st left back, was because of the successful pairing of Yobo and Jagielka in the middle. rnrn...

• Good point Mike.rnrnLots of younger players get minutes in positions that aren’t their best or most natural, early on in their development.rnrnHell, Saka was used as a left back in his early appearances for Arsenal. rn...

  Rick Pattinson in Stoke City vs Everton - Match preview and team news
• A relatively injury-free season will be a great boost to our defence. They are pretty average defenders at best and another season older won't improve things, so Branthwaite's presence could be vital.rnrnReinforcements in several positions are needed urgently; we all know that. Unfortunately, our specialist recruitment team don't seem to be on the same page.rnrnThe clock is ticking and this transfer window is beginning to look a lot like our other recent ones... last minute, desperate and with absolutely no evidence of any transfer strategy or planning.rnrnTFG appear to be totally disinterested in the football side of Everton Football Club, evidenced not only by a seeming reluctance to strengthen the squad but by allowing the unambitious Moyes to run down his contract.rnrnI hope I'm wrong and that things are progressing behind the scenes, but I'm beginning to fear the worst!...
  Stu Darlington in “Hopefully we’ve resolved some issues”: Branthwaite eyes injury-free season after Everton comeback at Bolton
• Mike 47. Everton are probably quite happy he\'s rejected contracts, because he\'s probably our most saleable asset, along with Branthwaite, who will probably need to prove his fitness & injury issues are behind him before any club will offer a good fee for him. rnrnIf the SCR calculations are as tight as the esk predicts, we probably need a big sale to fund the other urgent holes in the squad.rnrnHave the club offered him really good terms in this new contract offer? or a mediocre rise and has he seen it as sign of being pushed out to fund the rebuild? rnrnThe fee paid and the relatively small wages, would seem he would be ideal to keep with SCR, so maybe selling him, doesn\'t offer such a great upside, if you consider who would come, for what fee, and what wages compared to the steel we got him for. rnrn...
