  Eric Myles in Jordan Pigford? The abuse would have been horrendous
• There’s a lot of evidence that in the past Moyes has used the youngsters but also evidence he hasn’t much during last season except for the odd game when forced to. rnThere’s also evidence he keeps playing the same players that have let him down time and again, leaves it late with subs, takes knives to a gunfight, plays not to lose (or win in most cases), is stubborn, plays hoofball, is dour and a dinosaur when it comes to tactics. I can’t find any positives apart from steadying the ship. Buying over the hill cast offs no one else wants is his forte - they may come good within a new club/team mate environment and hit the ground running, or just hit the ground and be out for the rest of the season. For: £10m cheap option premier league ready. Against: Age, no resale value.rnBest to get the preseason underway, see who’s ready for the penultimate game, should have an idea of the first 11 by then. See if anyone comes in, RB and centre forward/striker and brace ourselves ...
  Mike Hayes in Jacob Murphy is not the sort of player we want at Everton
• Mike @ 84, The issue of Dibling non-selection is down to Moyes’s attitude, as it is with all our young players. Unless of course we are to believe that Rohl, Dibling, George, Patterson, Iroegbunam, Alcaraz and Aznou all performed so poorly in training last season that they did not merit starts ahead of the dreadful experienced senior players whose poor form resulted in a 13th place finish? Murphy is average, unproductive, cheap, old but has played 200 premier league games. If signed, Moyes will select Murphy as a first team regular on the right no matter how badly he plays - or how well the younger alternatives play. That’s how he rolls....

• Can I borrow your WTF Pete Ambrose (52) please?rnrnKenwright \'saved the club at a time when the club\'s demise was not \'if\' but \'when\'. He poured his own money into the club...\'rnrnYes, I do need to state this twice because it\'s so unbelievably and unforgivably wrong, perverted, and invented for what we can only imagine is blind saccharine sycophancy. rnrn\'He poured his own money into the club...\'rnrnThis would be the narcissistic parasitic liar who did not put a single penny of his own into our club - remember the remortgage lie Mr. Ambrose? - but like a greedy slimy bloodsucking leech cashed in his polluted shares with his grubby greasy fingers.rnrnOff you go Mr. Ambrose to the hagiographic sycophants\' graveyard. There will be no flowers. No tears. Just the anonymous epitaph, \'Hagiographic Sycophant 6\'. rnrnrn...
  Paul Griffiths in Jacob Murphy is not the sort of player we want at Everton
• Apart from being 31 and some saying he wasn\'t a regular at Newcastle last season there is Dibling, George and Ndiaye to consider or perhaps we could play all 3, or 4 even 5 with Grealish, and then the only problem we might (still?) have is who to cross to and what exactly we would want the overlapping full backs to do. Still, if it doesn\'t work then Mr Moyes can sub them out after 70 minutes and another position the Academy wouldn\'t have to worry about eh....
  Alan J Thompson in Jacob Murphy is not the sort of player we want at Everton
• Laurie, what it means for Dibling is, as Moyes said, that he needs to get his finger out and earn his time on the pitch. If he can't beat out Murphy for minutes........
