Even he was saying i'll be happy if we add to the squad some quality players to challenge for europe even higher if they the right players.

You're right of course , I don't want trophy signings but it's just that 'fingers crossed' thing that they do a decent job in the summer. Especially with some senior players looking like they are on their way out we can ill afford to not get some ins. Even if they aren't big names but solid performers. We did well in the last half a dozen games to pick up the points but we will struggle again over the course of a season without some fresh faces.

We need to be able to attract them by saying look at what our ambition is... Its not for the a signing for the fans but to send a message to other players.

I'd have taken half that amount. …and as you say, if we’ve got anything like £8m for Emre I’ll be over the moon. I’d have taken half that amount.

I think you're both right regarding Milner, I like the lad and he works incredibly hard, and I'd like to see him stay, but his crossing must improve. Did he not play in the middle at times for Leeds? It might get him into positions where he can have a few long-range shots, which when he's on form and confident have flown in a few times. Either way he's got a shot like a rocket. As for Arteta, I really can't see it, sorry. We might be a bigger club, but I'd have thought a bigger club than Everton WITH European football would come in for him if he were available? Yes he'd do brilliantly under Keegan and the fans would love him, but if I'm being totally unbiased I think he'll think he has better options. Again though, I'd love to see it happen and I fully expect to see one or two player like him join over summer. As for easing the fans, an early signing would be nice, but I'm not bothered either way. The main advantage for me of getting a big early signing is as a statement of intent, to show other potential signings that we're going places. I know you're not for a second suggesting that we make an early signing just to appease the fans Toon, but at the moment I'm happy to let the fans who are getting impatient be impatient, the days of us making trophy signings "for the fans" thankfully left SJP with Fat Freddy.

Yes Everton have Europe but I think if you look at the bigger picture Newcastle is a bigger club but unfortunately they aint showing it at present. Obviously that could change over the next 3 seasons and Arteta could be a big part of that. I think hes KK's type of player and he'd shine under him. I still think Newcastle will be playing a good attractive style of football in front of 52000 which may be tempting and throw in possibly a bit more cash than what Everton can afford to pay him and he may just decide Newcastle might be worth a punt. Hes been at Everton for a while now. He seems as though he'd like to move at the moment. He'd be a very good addition to our squad with proven EPL experience. Its less risky. On Milner I know where you are coming from but the lad cannot cross a ball on a regular basis with quality. His final ball/decision making is poor. Hopefully if KK keeps him he can work on it but its defo a problem. May seem a bit of an odd one but Milner might be alright to try in the central area as a box to box who knows. I just dont think hes KK's type of winger if you know what I mean. I think if we could get £10million we could get a more finished article which in all honesty is what we need. On Emre you are spot on though. I loved Emre thought he had bags of skill just simply from a business point of view it didnt work. His wages couldnt be justified to games and I think this is going to be something MA will look at carefully and too right. I would be doing the same if it was my business. Apparently the deal could be worth up to £8million which if it is - well amazing business. These guys aint muppets but it would be good to see a signing statement shortly to ease fans.

I'm dissapointed to see him go as well, because when he was fit, he looked as if he could be quite a good attacking mid. On the arteta link, i dont think he'll come here, why would we, we cant offer him more than what everton have, as they have europe next season, all that we can offer is maybe bigger wages, and with MA's new wage structuring, it doesnt look likely... if we do get him, by some small chance, it'd would be a real big feather in KK's cap.

I like what is going about at present with Arteta, Shorey and Crouch. I think all 3 of those players would improve our squad and are potentially attainable. Don't get me wrong Crouch aint everyones cup of tea but he scores goals and has good touch for tall lad. I think Owen and Crouch would be a good idea especially with regards to the England setup. It might make both happy. We still need some more players though and i'll be happy when we see the first one in.

I've had a look on the Teamtalk pages a few times and people really aren't happy, they seem to think that Ashley is going to try to bleed the club dry (then again, when was Teamtalk full of sense?). I think we'll see pretty sensible spending, but the squad will certainly be improved. If nothing else, I definitely feel that there's a big ruthless streak being instilled, which is good to see.

Im just a bit wary at the moment. I’ll only think things are looking up once we see what is coming in the other way. Im just a bit wary at the moment.
