  • If Aznou is loaned out some championship team will have one cracking young player in their side.rnBut personally I think he’s more a wing back than a full back and we can’t play that system, especially if JoB goes....

  • This just a one-off article because I beg to differ with Tony (@9) who said he thought his ship had sailed. Although he had always relished playing football, I think he was more disheartened by Forest releasing him after trying to sell him as a full-back to Motherwell. Then he went to Blackpool, who were in a relegation battle, and the manager wouldn't chance a young midfielder who had played some very good games for their reserves.I'll leave it there because I started quoting different professional managers and players who thought that Tony could make a good living out of football before he contracted TB but then it looked like I was boasting about his ability and at the end of the day, it's all ifs and buts and what might have beens.The one thing I always refer back to him is that he got all his FA coaching badges and, not long after gaining them, the rules changed and you needed Uefa coaching badges as well...Tony had had enough of football by then so he let...

  • 1# TonyrnrnI think for a deadline it would seriously have to be close of play Friday, and any offer would now have to be £70m+ add ons.rnrnI guess the thing is, Everton technically don\'t need to spend the money on a replacement as such, if we go off the basis that Grealish would be a likely replacement should he return.rnrnBut it would make little sense to suddenly have £80m to play with on deadline day, and not spend it....

  • Steve @ 24, if it is true Moyes will hate to sell him. rnBranthwaite has been fine up to now thankfully but will it carry on, we need another centre back not sell one.rnI can understand O\'Brien being impatient to play in his best position, the situation is not great for him but I don\'t see Moyes putting captain Tarks on the bench.rnIt\'s a common situation in most teams so I don\'t see an easy solution, it\'s a million to one against Moyes dropping the captain for him, even though it might be for the best in the long run....
