• I think some of you give Mykolenko an undeserved hard time. He's a good defender and if he has Grealish in front of him and gets down the bye line then he is in danger of getting in the way of KDH's, or Garner's, move either outside or alternatively inside of Grealish so Myko takes up a position on the line slightly behind Grealish with Gana also further inside. Myko does however have the habit before crossing of looking up to see where our usual one striker in the box is as we rarely have more and never as centre forwards used to coming in off a back post position. Just crossing and hoping might work if we had 5 or 6 players in the box but we rarely do and if it was that simple surely Grealish would cross it. For me a definite keep with Aznou getting minutes to see where he is upto and all being well that could be left back sewn up for years to come....

• Martin #7, sounds like you're describing a left sided Hibbert, who I always liked, a great defender who not much got past. So what we need is a left winger to go forward, especially if we keep Grealish....

• Interesting podcast with Kevin Maguire.He states that the Everton hierarchy do not want to qualify for Europe next season (13.10). We can spend 85% of revenue on football-related costs if we are not in Europe next season; if we qualify, we are subject to the UEFA limit of 70%.LinkDuring January, it was clear that TFG did not want to spend money on the squad that could aid our push for Europe. This is likely the reason.Of course, they could have made a big push to give us a squad to challenge for a Champions League slot as that gets you nine times the revenue of the European Conference League.If Villa win the Europa League, then 6th place will qualify for the Champions League....
