So according to reply's to nearly every post on here Everton are signing...
Naismith
Mandzukic
Rhodes
Yilmaz
Berbatov
Pogrebnyak
Dempsey
Blimey they must have some off shore account as it's public knowlege moyes has'nt got a huge budget.
They will probably end uo with Naismith n Pienaar n maybe a new defender , as much as it pains me being a qpr fan my m8 who works for the hammersmith n fulham chronicle reckonsmandzukic is close to agreeing a move to the cottage n they are lijely to beat my beloved R's to the signature of Abaguyauman from st ettiene(pardon spelling). {Ed003's Note -

Sigh this again. Everton have a lot more money than they let on. Sold Arteta for £10m and Bilyaletdinov for £7m and didn't reinvest the money. That's £17m (appears the guy who originally posted this has no education) to spend on new players. Pretty sure Kenwright would throw an extra £3m in the pot to round it up to £20m. Do your research before posting

why do people say that Steven Fletcher isn't worth 12m and is only worth 6m?
he has score the most headed goals in the prem for the last 2 years with wolves, in the 3 years in the prem he has scored 40 goals and that is with being left out for half the first year with wolves and being injured the second year. in the first year with wolves he was the prems most clinical striker and 5th in the world above messi who was 7th. i don't know about this years has the artical hasn't been made yet
wolves bought him for 7m 2 years ago
he has got 3 years on his contract
he had a wage reduction on his contract like ever wolves player and he has said on as interview he made himself saying he wants to stay at wolves cus he doesn't care about playing for Scotland and playing in the prem he just wants to feel loved at a club , so we don't need to sell.
he is easy worth 12m if you ask any wolves fan because he has got alot better since joining us and even bolton boss coyle said he could easly score 20+ goals a season in a good team, which he wasnt at wolves.

My 2012/13 Prediction:
1-Man City
2-Chelsea
3-Man U
4-Arsenal
5-Liverpool
6-Newcastle
7-Tottenham
8-Everton
9-Sunderland
10-Swansea
11-Aston Villa
12-Fulham
13-Stoke
14-Southampton
15-Wigan
16-QPR
17-West Ham
18-Norwich
19-West Brom
20-Reading
Would like to see Reading stay up but honestly can't see them having enough quality to stay up. West Brom will struggle after Roy and Norwich look to me as a team who will suffer second season syndrome. West Ham will stay up because hoof ball teams usually do well. QPR have a good core of players and Sparky is a decent manager. Chelsea will be main challengers to City and may even win the trophy but at the moment its City's to lose. Spurs I can see flopping badly, the team loved Harry and morale will go down after his exit plus Modric, VDV etc. could be leaving.

So Reading don't have enough quality but showed we have more quality than Saints & West Ham. Reading will finish 11th to 15th.

Reading don't have more 'quality' than saints or west ham, your team was in form
Agree2

Surely having form we have more quality as we can get CHAMPIONS form.We had a bad start of the 10 matches other than that we were good then about the same time saints went off the boil without a win in 7 corresponded the same time as Reading going on a winning streak of 8. You would think Saints & West Ham would have learned never to underestimate Reading.

Tony Pullis would not sign Bemba Ba over fears of his fitness, Ba then went on to score 16 premier league games and missed NO games through injury. Now Pullis is going to sign Michael Owen! Owen,injured 80% of a season hasnt scored 16 premier goals in 5 seasons. That just shows that managers like Pullis have no sense of football and gets along every season by just smashing the ball 100 yards and hoping for the best. The sooner this man is back in the lower leagues the better.

Why does everyone think Reading and Southampton will get relegated? Apparently west ham are better even though we (reading) put seven goals past them last season and took all six points off them, we have a massive cash investment coming in and are sensible in the transfer market unlike west ham who just sign whoever does well for a season then flops... Also Southampton are a country mile better than west ham so all you premier league fans know nothing about the championship and it's sides, look at Norwich and Swansea no doubt finishing above your teams, why don't you judge us after seeing us destroy you next season, your in for a surprise

Reading, southampton and norwich to go down,doesnt matter what u spend
Agree1

As a Blackpool supporter I have to say through gritted teeth that West Ham were by far
the best team we played last season of the three teams that were promoted to the Premiership. Reading were quite good and look like they have something to build on this coming season. Southampton were really appauling , probably the worst team to play at Blaoomfield Road last season, and they need to start spending money urgently to have any chance of staying up. i know you can only read so much into one game but these comments are a fair reflection on how these teams played against us last season.

WELCOME back reading and saints to the premier league.
Im a norwich fan and it will be great for us 3 and swansea to light up the league this year.
You have nothing to fear there are some very poor teams in the prem
Stoke, wba, qpr, villa, wigan are truly awful
Agree3

Haha Reading fans are the most deluded bunch on here, I sincerely hope you finish bottom. I can't wait until you sign a bunch of average players instead of some of the players you are linking to yourselves on here, you're making yourself look silly now.

Prove it fed up with hearing how good you think you are southampton are terrible at the back as for reading no prem scorer.

If Redknapp is not back in management by the start of the season Eddie Mitchell is to offer him a role (not manager) at afc Bournemouth on a non contract allowing him to jump straight back into management. Source: all local papers and everyone associated with Bournemouth football club.,..... I bet Paul groves can't wait to have redknapps shadow over him? Too many chiefs?

Norwood played for Coventry last season - they went down. What's your point? Barnsley are a Championship side, have done very well the past few years to remain so. They would have been a top 10 side had Butterfield, Perkins and O'Brien not got injured when they did, and had Vaz Te and Drinkwater stayed.
