We should have bought Ginola BEFORE he went to Spurs and that was a huge mistake, please do not give Owen any lifelines as he is not worth a place at EFC and would be a kick in the teeth to our youngsters.

I think we need to get rid of quite a few players who are currently on the payroll and bring in some fresh young players to really push for places in the first team squad. Martins would be a much better buy from Newcastle than Owen as he does work hard and would have more impact even though I think we need better players than he is.

The players I would hope we would not sign include Barton, Owen, Nolan and Smith who are either past it or troublesome characters. We need some top players to boost our present squad and take the places of the likes of Osman, Hibbert and Saha who are not good enough or fit enough to play as automatic first choices.

A lot of people say that Moyes never takes a risk, Owen could be a risk worth taking with money spent else where.

Moyes can do no wrong so just leave it to him!.

I just hope Moyesy gets some serious backing this summer because were going to need it, Man City are already in the market trying to buy Barry so they're not hanging around and are building to push for top 6, possibly top 4 next year. It's a big summer for Everton FC, I don't see why the Board can't back him this summer after what he?s achieved. I saw an article saying we received a total of £50m in TV money and parachute payments alone this season, and then there?s the £30m + kitbag deal on top of that, new kit deal, money from final league standing and the cup run, so surely some of that will be given to Moyesy this summer?!!

Hopefully he gets the backing to make at least 3, possibly 4 quality signings that will make a difference to are side, I'd like to see him get Moutinho in for starters, M?Bia for holding midfield role, get Owen in too. Maybe a pacey out-and- out right winger and a few squad players but it all depends on how much the board are willing to back Moyes this summer?!!

Note, however, the absence of Castillo and Jacobsen. Now, not that many (if any) shirts will sell with the names of these players on the back but this is perhaps indicative of their chances of staying for next season ? clearly a contract has not been agreed at this stage for these two. Not many will lose sleep over this of course (other than the players themselves) but only if there are replacements forthcoming in the Summer.

Castillo is unlikely due to the fee required by Red Star but Jacobsen fits the mould of a fee-free international player to start the season instead of Hibbert ? who was woefully outed at Wembley and targeted by Hiddink as our weakest link.

It looks like Owen is nailed on also ? sadly we are in no position to buy another proven goalscorer at this level who is fit and Owen would be a typical Moyes signing with something to prove ? a contract similar to Saha?s would be more prudent though perhaps than anything medium/long term. Owen has lost several yards of pace and will need to improve as an all-rounder to get into the current Everton team?.question is in the run-up to the World Cup does he have the desire?? This could be a gamble that could pay-off and if the contract is structured in a way that favours the Blues it could mean minimum risk.

Ledley and Moutinho would then cap it all off ? with Anichebe going to Cardiff for a year. You never know we could also see Jo back on loan for a year which would give us a decent squad player to tide us over until the Yak is firing once again?.Other than that I cannot see many other comings or goings unless Bill miraculously finds his Billionaire?Can you?
