Sure he wants to leave but you can't accuse him of not trying. He probably wants to be at a club that can build on any success, and one that shows a bit more ambition from the very top. I fear he will be a big loss.

As for Vic, he is a bit of an enigma. A good squad player maybe with the potential for more, but I don't think we will miss him as much as the little braided-haired fella.

Will that do, Michael @ 1?

Pienaar wants parity with Arteta and, to be fair to him, I think he is being generous as he is far more important and effective than one of the most average Spaniards we know and I think he should be given what he wants.

Anichebe has probably still got a titty lip on with Moyes over not joining Hull and will probably leave ? hopefully to an English club so we get some decent recompense.

The only player we have who is scoring is Cahill and he gets most of his ammunition from Baines/Pienaar combinations. Pienaar is worth as much as anyone at the club and if his contract does not reflect this then I don't blame him for wanting away.

The loss of Pienaar and Anichebe will definitely be felt, especially if we continue to do nothing in the transfer market, as our youngsters don't seem to be good enough to push for places.

All we need is a few injuries and we will be in the shit big time.

Newcastle took a chance on Gosling and we have his medical records!!! The extent of Victor's injury should be known by the club and his contract should've been sorted out over 2 years ago and tied up on a long contract.

My question is still the same... why are players leaving on frees when they should've been tied up by the club well before the end of their contracts or should have been sold for a substantial fee? We are not in the position to let players we develop or bring in just walk away... I still await your answers...

To me, Arteta is part of the problem and a fucking bit part at that. He slows the play down too much, so much so that any one with anything about them has tried to make a move and Arteta moves it backwards or sidewards. I am glad he is suspended as it will show that really he is no real loss.

Players always come and go ? always have and always will ? it is the timing that matters.

But everybody seems to be missing the point that the man to blame for all this is draining the club of £66 grand a week, has just given lucrative extended deals to Ossie and Hibbo and thinks that the way to repair Beckford's confidence is to slag him off in the national press Oh and he's also the same bloke that paid top dollar for Bily and Heitinga.

Pienaar won't sign because his agent already has him lined up for a move to Spurs, if we're lucky some foreign muppets may just pay us £10-12 mil for Jonny rotten.

Moyes is absolutely atrocious at player contracts or transfers, and let's not forget that this is the same man who took over 12 months to sign his new contract and he expects loyalty off the players! The man's a joke!

It doesn't even look like we're getting Donovan back on loan either so there's January's Plan A out of the window ? and we all know about Moyes's Plan B! Yes, that's right, chaps... there is no Plan B!

So expect Victor to be played at right back, with Jan Mucha upfront with Iain Turner!

Michael (21#) ? We have never put Pienaar up for sale so how do we know if anyone expressed an interest? Do you know everything going on at Goodison, cos if you do you must be a member of FIFA! If we put Pienaar up for sale in the last few seasons, I would find it hard to believe no-one would of wanted in, in fact a top 4 club have made enquiries in the last 12 months to buy him, so you are incorrect in that point.

Also a clubs future is its youth, we developed the players and you think its ok to negotiate at the end of a contract. I'm sorry but that's not the way it works these days with agents looking for a lucrative move. We should be tying up our youth as the wage implication over a few seasons extra is minimal compared to the top players... End of lesson.

I will go and get nostalgic with an 85 video......... cannot see us winning anything in near future, we will probably let the whole squad go on a free!

The same is also true of Big Vic who if he goes abroad can walk away for free although any British club that signs him will only have to pay a training fee probably around £750k.

Also the fact that Everton (Moyes) is not even talking to his agent suggests there will be no offer. So I take it you think that makes good financial sense then? Most other clubs would offer him a deal get him to sign then flog him for around £2-4 mil now that makes sense.

Moyes has too much power and say over these matters and is too much of a ditherer when it comes to spending any money he has. He was good at spotting lower league talent but has never been good at the higher end eg, Billy, Krøldrup, Beattie etc.

The club has done pretty much everything it is prepared to do for Pienaar. I accept that; it seems you don't. Anichebe, I think reasonable reasons have been put forward which I am inclined to accept; again, you're not. I don't think there are any other answers for you.

It's best to let him go and get in another player on 5-year deal with the fee from Pienaar and then the manager can plan at least 3-4 years in advance. Moyes is trying to get a core of players on long-term deals and I say Anichebe should of been part of this plan... it's only my humble opinion...

Atrteta is now a spanish version of Ray Wilkins crab like, Bily's and Beckford's confidences are shot, Jags is struggling to regain form and Coleman, Gueye and Yak are left to rot on the bench ? that's my point!

Oh and as I said before Donovan Plan A is too knackered to come to come us and the pathetic plea to Beckham was a joke!

So far, not good reading... then and don't forget he gets £66k a week ? what a bargain that is!

And don't forget as I said previously he took his own sweet time nearly 12 months signing that (he thought Fergie was quitting and that he was a shoe-in for that job!). Also the fact that within two years of signing for us most players don't really have a good word to say about him, they talk about how great the club and we the fans are but seem to avoid talking about Moyes.

Oh and one final thought over Moyes's tenure ? we have have been spanked by more than 4 goals more times than I care to remember. So do me a favour, little boy, put your dummy back in, take those Moyes-coloured specs off and look at the league table, son. Moyes is a spent force with no Plan B or C to get us out of the hole we're in.

I personally am not looking forward to trips to places like Doncaster or Brighton if the worst happens ? and the only person to blame for that will be Moyes!
