Are they only selling the new kit at Everton one and two? I've not seen it in stores in either Warrington or Runcorn.

I think the Reyes one is just a rumour. I think Moutinho is the more likely option tbh. Would love to see Reyes at Goodison though, only 25 as well.

Yeah it is only being sold from the two new stores or online from the official website mate. I have a mate who works in the Everton One store and he said that's why it's been so busy since Saturday because at the min it's only in there or online, obviously, from this sat Everton Two store as well.

I'd love to see Reyes at Goodison, he is a class player would do wonders for us but as you say probably just a rumour. Can't see it coming off.

Deary me, I never thought I would see the day a City fan thought I was jealous. There nothing at all I would want to be jealous about, fifth in the league two years on the run, FA Cup finalists and Europe for the last couple of season too. Not bad for a side that 'has no money'

If you are referring to Everton in that statement then deary me tonight

The 5th best team in England without spending much is pretty darn good. Whereas you spent how much last and finished where again? Shame Dunne got sent off so many times, you could have got into Europe again.

It's wonderful how a bit of money can turn fans into something they're so obviously not. Kaka laughed at them, Eto'o will too and there will be many more after that. But hey, they have Barry and Taylor - 4th is nailed on

naaaa 5th just above you me thinks. Just wait till Cahill gets injured and you look utterly clueless and struggle for goals and when we take your best defender and a faiir gaol contributor in Lescott you'll be relying on the totally dependable on the dependable Loius Saha . And the money hasnt changed me in anyway i think you might find . Now go and see if you jump into Liverpools new stadium with them yeah??

So if you buy our centre half we will be relying on Saha? deary me, the knowledge of City fans is exceptional. Why will Cahill get injured? you must obviously be able to see into the future. And to be honest for the first part of last season Lescott was awful, I still don't think he would leave but if he does i believe Moyes will replace him quite easily. Oh, just so you know apart from Cahill we won't just rely on Saha, we have Yakubu, Fellaini, Pienaar, Vaughan, Arteta of course and anyone else Moyes brings in.

Well if it's not the money that's chaged you what has? there is nothing to suggest for years that City will challenge for 5th or 6th nevermind fourth.

City fans have always been deluded mate, nowt to do with the money.

As ever, the most amount of jealousy and insults is from the Everton fans and I can see why. We are two clubs who live in the shadow of their more famous neighbours and the clubs supporters are very similar in many ways. It's understandable that one will become jealous of the other when they see that the other could be on the verge of something special and they will go to any lengths to deny it's existence for their own sanity.

We won't trouble the top four next season and we will have to build because the big stars won't join us now. I'm realistic enough to see that. However, you and I both know that it isn't just about next year and it's certainly sod all to do with the last thirty.

The fact of the matter is, with the financial backing we have got, possibly the best youth academy in the business, one of the best stadiums in the country, over 40,000 regular supporters, the future is looking very bright indeed and it's only a matter of time before we are mixing it with the big four.

Congratulations on a couple of 5th placed finishes but that has gone. You have no money, a distinctly lesser youth academy, a ramshackle stadium and about 5,000 less supporters.

I know who most people will be backing to have a more successful decade to come and it won't be you.

He's lightweight, a cheat and average. He didn't like London, so I severly doubt he will entertain Liverpool.

What cup did you win for being 5th? With your points total, were you closer to winning the league or getting relegated?

Everton's performances in Europe have been laughable.

Fair play in terms of the FA Cup as you did have to play two of the best teams in the country to get to the final.

It's wonderful how a bit of money can turn fans into something they're so obviously not. Kaka laughed at them, Eto'o will too and there will be many more after that. But hey, they have Barry and Taylor - 4th is nailed on

And it's amazing that being average can create delusions of grandeur.

You have Moyes, you have performed well in terms of VFM. However, once Moyes moves, and you get a couple of duff big money signings (City fans know all about them), then you could well find your club slipping very fast down the Prem. That kind of scenario could quite easily be around the corner.

You are coming across as increasingly jealous with each post. The more you try and justify the bile, the more pathetic you come across.

The one thing I want most is to see us play great football. I would hate to see the terribel dirge your team produces. Diving at every possible opportunity within 20 yards of the box in the hope you get a free-kick so you can put it high in the air towards the goal. You score and then hold out for a one-nil win. Everton are the reincarnation of Arsenal in the 70s. Ugly, ugly football.


Scousers have always been jealous of Manchester. Can't say I blame you.

I know you like to kiss United ar5e, but describing their second team as one of the best teams in the country is pushing it even for you.

I don't count myself anything like Man City and thankfully I never will. As I have said many times I am not jealous as I have yet to see something to be jealous of. I am not denying it exists because nothing does yet, if you sign Tevez, Eto'o and big names players then fair play and I hope you do go onto challenge SKY's 'Big Four' tbh.

Can't argue with that and if more City fans had this sort of attitude I would respect that, the problem is most people see money and instantly think the likes of Messi, Kaka, Eto't etc will want to join and they don't, that's not to say in a few years you won't sing them players.

Spot on, if the money is managed well and development is right them who knows what could happen at City in years to come. The future does look bright, but then Danny Cadamateri had a bright future when he came through so things can go wrong but things do look well for the future.

People can back who they like, it won't be the first or last time that people called things wrong. Thank you for the congratulations because the team simply deserves it, they worked exceptionally hard for it over the last two years and we played really well along the way. Our youth academy is producing some fantastic players for the future and i'm sure we will start to see them come through soon. No one actually knows how much money we have, least of all you but we have managed to spend what we needed too over the years and we are going along better than most sides. The stadium size and a few thousand more supporters does not mean anything or win you anything.

All I said at the beginning was I don't see anything to suggest City will trouble the big four as people suggest and attempting to buy these 'superstars' is a bit premature, I don't think you will argue with that but then again.

As I said in my earlier a post it is just a rumour and I don't expect him to come but then again City after some of the players city think they can sign, who knows.

what a laughable post, clearly you win nothing for finishing fifth but wouldn't you rather finish 5th than where you finished last season?? surely the idea is to finish as high up the league as possible and as no one seems able to topple the top four 5th is the next best and we got it.

Last season was a disaster in europe, yes, but the year before we made the last 32, beat the eventual winners in the group and one bad night in Florence cost us our place but it's early days competing in europe for us and each that we're in it we will learn and hopefully we will improve.

I am not delusioned, I am not the one that thinks my team will sign eto'o, messi, kaka and other superstars but under Moyes we're developing and growing and slowly improving, again i think we are in a fantastic position, i am quite happy where we are. There is nothing to suggest Moyes will leave or we will slip down the league. We are improving year on year and hopefully it will continue.

There is nothing to be jealous of and I am certainly not jealous of City and never will be. I am not jealous of any other club.

If you believe that is the way we play you clearly have no seen much of us at all. We play anything but that football and havn't since the walter smith/early Moyes days.
