Coleman and gibson should be playing. Trap has his ideas and won't be shifted on them and gibson knows it.

Gibson and james mccarthy would be a decent midfield and maybe throw one other in.

[Fear Bun Na Sceilpe]

Yeah lads it looks like he wont play under Trap which is a real shame as he has seemed to have improved a lot since leaving Man U

[Main Street]

I have no sympathy with Gibson at this (post tournament) stage for not turning up.
Trap gave him plenty of game time when he was shíte and could hardly get into Man u reserves. More often than not, Gibson pulled out due to some strain or other. Trap told him personally and publicly to get away from Man U.
He did work hard to get fit for the Euros and there I would have sympathy with him for not  even getting a subs appearance when clearly he was a class above what was there.
But get over it, better players than Gibson have managed to get over it, Carsley and Dunne at WC 2002, without throwing a hissy fit and whining for months on end, Brady took the insults on the chin and buckled down to get onto Charlton's team of hoofers.
Regardless of Traps tactics, it's a pathetic excuse for a player to snub his country.

I'd say there is no chance of that red card being overturned. The ref had a perfect view of that incident and had no doubt.
It wasn't deliberate and he was trying to play the ball,  but that doesn't matter.

Can't see either red card being rescinded, but it was refreshing to see Collins get straight up after Anichebe caught him and Baines do the same after Cole caught him.

darron gibsons red card against west ham has been overturned. he's now free to play chelsea at the weekend.

seamus coleman has signed a new 5 1/2 year contract with everton taking him up to the summer of 2018. on the down side it looks like darron gibson is going to be out for a while with a thigh injury

Gibson does seem to be injury prone by the looks of it, but at least Fuzzy will be back for the next game.

With Heitinga's agent talking about him wanting to leave due to lack of starts I think Moyes will need a holding midfielder who can pass and tackle in the coming weeks if Johnny does decide to move on.

[Jonah]

Coleman is an excellent player. Hopefully Trap starts playing him regularly.
Good business by Everton to tie him down for 5 years.

Looks like the Fer transfer might not go through. Some problem with his knee so Everton want to change the terms of payment to include an appearances clause I believe.

I wonder was he playing recently for Twente?

I'd have thought Moyes would have wanted someone in who'd make an impact right away to push for a CL place rather than someone to nurse through injury for a month or so!!

Yeah I believe Everton discussed the option of paying add ons based on trophies won. FC Twente hung up

I heard Bill Kenwright got mad when he spotted in the contract that Everton had to pay an extra 2 mill to twente if they finished above Liverpool and finishing in 13th place wouldn't even cover the cost of that   "Per aspera ad astra" ( From adversity to the stars)

It's funny because it's true.

[johnneycool]

Everton call it off, or calling Twente's bluff, not sure!!

Everton always pull these stunts, the big signing that never happens. I don't think they have the funds. Its probably the case they hoped to delay the pulling out till nearer closing deadline day to save face.

He would have Moyes type of player and would have helped them.

Better that than spending £35 odd million on a useless tool to be seen by the fans as doing something.
