Manager’s Reaction

A slow start to the new year with a few hiccups. We defiantly want to remain confident and continue the good run that we ended the year with. We want to be turning these draws into victories.

Player of the Month – Leon Osman

With the side being rotated slightly over the busy festive period, Leon Osman showcased his abilities after he managed to get a consistent run in the side. Osman’s contract expires at the end of the year and the English midfielder may have played his way into an extension.

Well, we have to be honest here it was a very disappointing month. Not good enough and everyone at the club knows that. We are itching to get the record straight and that showed in the great victory against M.Tel-Aviv. We are working hard to ensure we don’t not repeat these sorts of results. I have decided not to award anyone with the player of the month award as there were no stand out performers in a terrible month. I can only hope we have a worthy winner next month.

With the end of the Premier League season looming, many have started to cast their eye to transfer targets. With everyone looking to snap up the young talent available. One young star who has caught the eye is, Patrick Roberts.

Having come through Fulham’s academy, Roberts has had the chance to shine in the Championship. The tricky winger has been dubbed by many as the ‘English Ronaldo’. Roberts has scored ten
goals so far this season for Fulham and notched 13 assists.

He has soon caught the eye of many top Premier League clubs. Both Manchester clubs are the early front runners, Southampton and Everton are also thought to be keen.

Another dramatic cup final. A chance for two teams who have had a mixed domestic season to gain a spot in the Europa League. Everton and Swansea took to the stage.

In the end it was the Welsh side that came out on top. A very close game between the two sides which saw Everton come very close. Swansea took the lead through an early goal from Spanish right back Angel Rangel. The full back found himself in the edge in the Everton box, his deflected effort found the top corner.

Early in the second half Everton clawed their way back into the game. Record signing Romelu Lukaku came up with the goods to with a close range header. However Swansea battled their way through and found a second goal.

James McCarthy found himself in the wrong place at the wrong time off the back of a Swansea corner. In a freak goal that saw Leighton Baines attempted clearance smash against the back of McCarthy and land into the back of the Everton goal.

The freak goal saw Swansea hold on win the FA Cup. Zinedine Zidane would have been bitterly disappointed as Everton were on top for the majority of the game. However Swansea had the slice of luck you need to win a trophy.

Everton have confirmed today they have accepted bids for three of their senior players. It comes after manager Zinedine Zidane announced his plans to reshape the squad over the summer. The toffee’s are looking to offload their ‘fringe’ players.
Everton have accepted a £4 million offer from Aston Villa for Scottish striker Steven Naismith. Naismith endured a tough season under Zidane after it was clear he was not in his plans, with Villa dropping to the Championship he will be hoping for much more game time. Naismith failed to register a single goal for Everton last season.

The second player on their way out is Joel Robles. The Spanish keeper was impressive for Everton when called upon. Playing mostly in the FA Cup were the Spaniard only conceded two goals, which came in the Final. However due to the performances of Tim Howard, Robles has moved on in the search of regular football. Everton accepted a £1.6 million bid from newly promoted Notts Forest.

Finally, Everton confirmed they have accepted a £4.2 million bid from Swansea for midfielder Darren Gibson. Gibson fell down the pecking order under Zidane due to the fine form of players such as Barry and Besic. Gibson will be hoping for more regular football for the Welsh side that beat Everton in last season’s FA Cup final.

After manager Zinedine Zidane was handed a very flattering £20 million transfer budget he defiantly put it to good use. The first arrival at Goodison Park has today been confirmed. For £12.75 million, Viktor Fisher has completed his move to Everton.

The winger joins from Ajax and has been tipped to become a star. The Danish winger is just another player to leave the incredible Academy of Ajax that has produced many great players of the years. It is believed that Everton faught off interest from the likes of Jueventus and Manchester City to snap up the winger.

Fisher is expected to jump right into the Everton starting eleven, where he will be battling with Aiden McGeady for the left winger spot.

Everton have announced a further three more signings. Two of the signings have been made on free transfers after both players contracts’ expired with their respective clubs.
After the departure of Joel Robles, Zidane was keen to line up a replacement. In which he did with experienced goal keeper Tom Starke joins Everton. The goal keeper joins the Toffee’s after three years with the European Giants Bayern Munich. With Manuel Neur between the sticks, Starke did not receive much game time. Starke has signed as a rotation option, however who knows were a few good performances could lead.

The second free transfer come in the shape of Chilean striker Eduardo Vargas. The well- travelled striker joins after his contract with Napoli expired. Vargas scored 10 goals in 31 games for Queens Park Rangers last season, were he had a loan spell. Vargas is seen as a back for Lukaku to give Everton something different upfront.
