• Ian (94) Grealish has worked? But Alcaraz hasn’t? I think Grealish could have done a lot more than he did — 5 assists and 2 goals in 22 regular games - I think he is on the way down. Alcaraz has been sidelined by Moyes even when he was fit and his injury is a bit of a mystery because we never got much information about it, I think a lot of fans like him as well as the fans you pointed out who didn’t, he’s got plenty of time to prove his worth, which I wouldn’t bet against....
  Dave Abrahams in The difficulty with David…
• Everyone seems to think Moyes signed a 2 1/2 year contract when he joined!! But I thought I read somewhere it was 18 months with a 1 year option? Surely TFG would not trigger the extra year with £150 mill of investment not being utilised off the bench ...
  Ian Horan in The difficulty with David…
• Paul (65) A lot of actual fact in that post, a lot of young players who Moyes introduced to the first team hardly ever played many games, there was one European cup game when the result had no consequence and he played about 4 or 5 youngsters who never got many or any more games for the Blues. Of the six you mention, Rooney there was no option but to play him yet Moyes could have used him more, Barclay had a great potential but Moyes sent him out on loan twice, after a couple of mistakes while senior players carried on making theirs, Rodwell was easy to select because of his obvious talent, Baxter played very young but not a great deal and he left Everton after Moyes offered him a new contract with reduced wages of 50% — he should have been as bold offering some of the mediocre players the same deals. There is an old saying— “No one wants you when you are old” I think Moyes goes against the grain with that adage—- Mind you he can “ Do one “ for me at 63 ...
  Dave Abrahams in West Ham 2-1 Everton: What We Learned
• The manager and his staff are seeing these players in training every day. TW followers do not, you have to trust the guys running the club. You may not like them, but are opinions do not count and people should realize that....
  John Williams in Everton squad audit: Who should stay, and who should go, in another big summer
• John #5, that's some list and begs the question, who will replace them? Obviously Aznou and Patterson don't fit the bill in the manager's eyes, and Tarkowski and Keane don't in the supporters opinion (those on ToffeeWeb anyway) so that leaves us with O'Brien and (a possibly injury prone) Branthwaite. So that leaves us with three defensive positions to fill, assuming the others are backups, but they will need replacing a year from now as well, before we even consider the striker department which I'd say is a must. So are the midfield / winger positions good enough as is? Without Grealish as he would cut into the budget too much. Maybe OKish? but could be improved by one more at least. That's some recruitment for the Club to do in the summer and depends a lot on who drives the recruitment policy ...
  Eric Myles in Everton squad audit: Who should stay, and who should go, in another big summer
• We have to bring in two right backs, move O'Brien to centreback, a new left back with Myko as cover, a defensive midfielder, a winger with pace and top of the list a quality striker. Patterson exit, Seamus to coaching staff, Gueye, McNeill and Barry exit. I also think Armstrong is talented and should be involved alot more next season, playing Gueye in every game and saying Harrison is struggling the last few weeks, shows that Moyes won't give younger players a chance....
