Tim Cahill keen on Everton loan

A great player in his day, but a little limited now. I think any loan money will be spent on a cm, and another wide player (Donovan?). I can't see this happening unless we get a few injuries, and desperately need someone.

Thanks, but no thanks Tim.

We've already got Hitzlsperger on a short term. If I had a choice I'd rather have donovan than cahill right now.

I would like us to try and nick Debuchy in front of Newcastle but I doubt if the funds will allow and then get Odidje-Ofoe and Vossen in as loanees.

No thanks.

I know i'll probably get slated for this, Mr Posh, David Beckham is actually available on a short term basis. His distribution and passing is still pretty good. Would be good marketing for the club I reckon.

He can and will play in any position you want him to, he is a coaches wet dream.

Even now, all his so called bad points not withstanding, he is still a more mobile, skillfull option than Neville in MF...AND he gives you an option Upfront.

If the Options are Cahill, Anichebe and Vellios, who would you pick and more to the point who do you think Davy is going to pick.

The price will no doubt have to be right, but we gave a 2nd contract to that lump of porridge McFadden, for less potential return.

He will do for me.

Him and Barkley on the bench is not the worst thing in the world.

My wish list is...

1) No body out.

2) Our loan quota ( is it 3 or 4 ) ; Odjidja, Donovan, Cahill.

A good start would be to slot Tim in straight in place of Naismith.

How is it a 'no brainer'...he's shite,..and has been for years!

I agree he should/can/hopefully will come back in a coaching capacity but for crying out loud we're still trying to make the Champions Lge or at least the Europa League...

Why on earth do we continue to do this at this fine club?? Can't we look towards the future? Lets find an impact player that can add something. They're out there. Find them. They're in the French League, or the Belgian League, or maybe even in the Balkans somewhere... Someone with a bit of magic, or a bit of grit, or that can poach a goal once in a while out of nothing (Tim had ONE last season). Thanks but please move on.

Dear Tim: You were my favorite player - please stay that way.

By all means come back in a coaching/ambassadorial role and train with the team (for no wages mind)... but play? – good god no. He can get his ovation for 5 minutes by getting some sort of presentation on the pitch just before the start of a home match.

Let's move on...

Rodwell and Cahill were linked away earlier, perhaps Moyes tried the revolution earlier but no one would bite?

Let's not forget it was not only Cahill who struggled before Christmas last season – the whole team was appalling and it was the worst side Moyes had sent out in all his years imo.

It was easy laying the blame at a player who was playing out of position in a crisis, and in most cases he played up top on his own – something that £50M strikers also find difficult to do which imo shows the size of the task he faced.

The guy was not blessed with great footballing qualities but gave 120% effort each time and scored regular goals, that's what he brought to the team in his pomp. Once the goals ran out, he was just another piece of deadwood chasing shadows on the pitch. Effort with no product is not good enough at this level.

I am grateful to him for the early years and also that he left instead of running down his £50k/week contract. I have no gripes against him as, if your name is on the teamsheet, all you can do is try your best. It was Moyes's bad judgement to stick with Cahill and Saha for so long last season – 1 goal in 16 starts was it?

Anyway, thankfully water under the bridge now.
