Progress?

Couldn?t selling AJ for 20 million + and buying Fernandes, Nugent, Jagielka/Koumas with the proceeds plus some of the transfer kitty also be seen as making progress?

I'm not sure if it's just pride getting in the way when we talk of not selling our top players and not being a selling club. (After all, when Ferguson sold Beckham, Van Nistelrooy no-one labelled Man Utd as a selling club). Nugent might even be better than AJ and therefore mean progress.

Much as I would love to see AJ in an Everton shirt next season I would love to see us lifting the Uefa Cup and getting to the Big cup next year even more. I?m not knocking AJ as for me it would be impossible to criticise him in any way, but is it not worth gambling on Vaughn, Anichebe and Nugent (plus the Polish lad ... sorry can't remember his name) in attack and strengthening/improving the side overall?

It?s a genuine question I don't have the answer to, so please don't jump down my throat for asking.

Yeah, that’s right - let’s rely on an untried young forward that his name you forget!
Why can we not keep AJ AND add one more to the forward line.
