Think about it!
Comments (1) : They missed the point ! The real turning point for this season was the audience reaction to David Moyes conservative handling of the Blues during the Spurs debacle.
After that Moyes gained a little courage and let the lads have a go. It worked then and it will usually work. Get up off your knees and have a go at the other side and you will often come out of that with three points.
So the southern press has West Ham about to offer £20 million for Andy J and a similar amount for Tim C. If Everton 2007 has three players who are indispensable they are probably (in order), Arteta , Lescott and Yobo,
Would £40 million handed direct to Moyes for spending replace Johnson ( a great worker and a very speedy forward but NOT by any means a clinical finisher) and Cahill ( a superb late-arriving scoring threat but far from a classical mid-fielder) and leave enough cash to improve the fringes of the side ?
I suspect the answer is yes but that the West Ham speculation is no more than that but I do wonder if Arsenal will come after Johnson and what might happen if they offered that £20 million.
Andy would have to be wrong in the head to consider a move to West Ham right now but Arsenal could be far more tempting.
I am so glad that young Vaughan and Anichibe have signed for the long term , and sadly I think we can let McFadden go if the right offer comes in. He is a good lad and a decent player but he will never fit into David Moyes Everton.
Fear not folks .....let's give Arteta his deal and its onwards and upwards next year. I hope Moyes learned a lot from that Spurs mess and why not a four or five spot next time?

I beleive AJ has proven a lot of premeirship managers wrong last season. I would love to see him stay and give us a full wack. I am sure he will get twenty plus next time around. With a greater emphasis on open play I am sure he will get his personal and financial rewards with the blues. He comes across as a decent lad and I am confidant he will give Moyes another season for putting faith in his abilitiy.
Arteta, we all agree number one and must stay if we are going to move forward as a team.
Lescott is in the same mould.
As for the Spurs game am I the only one who thought Spurs were strolling that night
Lots shouted at the manager for not having a go at them. We were shite in the first half and only got back into the game with a free kick. The forwards did not make any impression so when hunting for Europe and remembering they were our biggest rivals what is wrong in trying to get something out of a crap game.I love the school of science but sometimes you have to scrap for points and fight another day. That night it did not work but how we moved forward after it.Maybe instead of giving stick, a bit more encouragement as with the Portsmuth game would be better served.
I Would like to see more vociferous debate over the Kirby move than looking back on next season. Where are the public meetings and demo’s? Now is the time to respond before it all goes over our heads.
Are we going to end up like the weetabix eaters over the park. Thick,blind and take any shit that is offered
Overall a more balanced article than the diatribe your colleague Tony Marsh offered previosly.
