Rumours have it that D. V. D. Beek is loving it here at Everton and has no intention in returning back to Man Utd at the end of the season. wanting to sign permanently. no buy-back clause inserted in his loan but UTD would apparently accept bids around 20 million taking a loss on the 35 million they paid for him. now if that is true, I think that is 20 million very well spent in this day and age in my book! Just the type of player we need.

Hope so, for him it is better playing for a team that wants him rather than sitting on the bench elsewhere.

Whilst it does sound positive, let’s not get carried away.
He’s had 1 good game for us.
If he keeps it up then great would be a very good deal. However if he does keep putting in good performances then I imagine there’d be other teams interested and also Utd would be looking at more than £20m for him.

Double edged sword really as we want him to do well but the better he does the less chance of us getting a good deal for him.

I thought he did well when he came on as a sub as well.

Whether we get him is for later.

What I liked was that it suggests the atmosphere in the dressing room, which was rumoured to pretty bad not so long ago is already in a much better place. Admittedly in comparison to Man Utd which is one of very few clubs that seems to being run as badly as ours in recent times! But a positive none the less.

Read it in context. 'If' he helps us stay up. As Gingerdan says, let's not get carried away. We do this every time and then the misery and recrimination starts. AVB is a good player as are a few others, fact is two swallows and all that.

I have to say 'so far so good' and 'hope springs eternal' ?.

Hope the players are focusing on the here and now. Much needed win and performance last time out. Need another one today, without the home crowd. Tricky run following today so 3 points would be welcome and would remove us from the relegation chatter. Any DVB chat is just speculation as no deal is in place.

We could do with 2 or 3 CMs in the summer depending if Alan goes. Always seem to be light in CM.

{Ed0666's Note - just the 3 Chris?

Ideally Ed yeah. I know it won't happen but if Allan goes doucoure is only cm that deserves to start a game. We need to start playing 3 in midfield so with injuries we need 2 or 3 CMs that are good enough to start.

{Ed0666's Note - mate I was insinuating you need more than three. You need a massive rebuild. I would say you need 4 midfielders. I agree the only one id keep is Dacoure I think he’s very good and would get into most premiership teams on merit.
