The Mail Bag

This Way, Jose.

He wasn't listed on the OS party to the US, and later under 'Boss Will Protect Jose' we read that Moyes wants to take Baxter under his wing and ? significantly I think ? to the USA with the squad rather than to let him go to an England U-17 tournament. Nobody there would attempt to tap up a young player of course, and DM explains that Jose is needed to swell the numbers.

He could be "in the side on merit", says Mr Moyes. He is, I hope, having the time of his life with Tim, Mikel and the rest of a happy, optimistic squad, just wanting to be in there doing it for EFC.

James Vaughan came in very young, and I don't think his injuries are age-related. It looks like DM is going to give another young talent a try this season, and that the lessons from the Rooney fiasco are written on the office wall ? don't let the bastards get anywhere near your home grown talent.

The future is bright, the future is blue.

Agree with most of what you say and I would love to see him given a chance this season.

However Moyes only took him to the US because of a lack of numbers, on the OS it stated that Moyes would have preferred him to have been involved with the England youth team.

I?ve heard a rumor going around that Man United are too approach Everton on speaking to Moyes about taking the role of assistant manager...

Has anyone close the club heard this??

Shaun Kinnair - thats the biggest load of nonsense I?ve heard all year! Why would DM leave to become anyones number 2 when he?s boss of the 5th placed team in England? He?s put in 5 years of hard work and is about to sign a new contract, why on earth would he up sticks and become Sir?s second in command?!?! There?s not truth in it at all, and I wouldn't be suprised if you made it up to get a rise.

Isn?t this supposed to have already happened many years ago - and Moyes turned the opportunity down because he wanted to be a manager not an assistant. I doubt that as his career has progressed he would take the step back now?
