It is now time to switch to a new Money AM football blog as the world cup is now over and we all look to the future.....World cup 2010 is over, Bravo Espana, and Forlan, once again and bring on the new season !.....I never expected the last thread to be such a success...thanks all.... so this new one might go on for years without the need to edit the title...we shall see...

Sir Tom might be available on a part time basis.

Same old song - weak bodies, weak minds, and below par skill.

How on earth do the Germans do it ?....they look beatable but somehow they always win.....though I can't see them retaining the world title......but perhaps the semis again for them.....their football is based on doing simple things very well without mistakes and if desperate defending is needed : so be it ....other teams with more talent try difficult things and lose the ball....perhaps that's the secret of their success !...

Everton sign Michael Keane from Burnley for up to £30 million http://http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/40447200

:0) £80 mill spent so far, business done early. Sell Lukaku for £80 mill (can't see it we may be stuck with him LOL!!!) then Barkley, will he stay or will he go now. Been a good transfer window so far with more to come. Think most Evertonians finding it difficult to take all this in, not natural. Just saying :0)

Big splash from Everton, Top 7 last season were a country mile on front of the rest. Same again i would guess.

You don't want Gray as well do you CC? excellent value at only 50 million in my DO.

No thanks Stan :0)

Top 4 spot next season, imo

Wrong as usual, going for mid table safety for a couple of seasons to build up that supply of dry powder.

What about your lot then George?

What lot is that Stan?

Your losers who else.

Ha! Ha! can't think who that would be, we were very successful last season.

Call that successful 😂 That's a laugh.

Promotion nothing to be sneezed at

Promotion? expect your planning for Relegation now.

A bit of accurate passing and skilfull receiving never went amiss.

I frequently despair when watching England (and lots of Premier League teams too) with regards to this aspect of soccer.

Not at all Stan our manager has been very active in the transfer market and we have a side capable of pushing on.

Exec---I prefer to see the majority of passes going forward as opposed to sideways and backwards, which is what we see nowadays from many teams.

Pushing on? So what's your target for next season George?

Happy to consolidate this coming season Stan, then top 4 the following season.
