Summer Signings
It's obvious that from the mid point of last season to the end we really struggled with injury problems, and to be honest, performed exceptionally given the circumstances. To finish fifth, when prospects of that at the beginning of the season (with a fully fit squad) seemed bleak, and to reach the final of the FA Cup for the first time in over a decade, was a momentus achievement.
Even though the squad will no doubt be stronger when the key players arrive back in full training (Yak, Arteta & Jags), we will definately struggle to equal what we have achieved this season, let alone better it without bolstering the squad with high profile signings. Acquisitions of a quality right back and striker would make the team a serious contender for fourth spot and if Glen Johnson doesn't move to City or Liverpool, why not try to get him on Everton's books? Obviously this man's been all over the press recently and it seems unlikely he'll be within our price range anyway, but how about one world class striker who has seemingly been overlooked by everybody...Eidur Gudjohnsen.
The Icelandic forward has proved himself prolific in the Premier League, but although he may be on a great wage and be a Champions' League winner, he isn't getting much playing time at all at FC Barcelona. He'd surely welcome a move back to the Premier League, and unlikely to be the right fit for the top four, why not go to number five?

Chris,
I almost haven't got the energy to reply.
Let's buy Glen Johnson, but we don't have enough money. Let's read your article, your making stupid points.
Lets buy Gudjohnsen, he was prolific years ago.
Have you decided it's time to link us to anyone with Johnson in the name.
Why not buy Andy Johnson back or see if we can Johnson and Johnson to supply foot balm's to the players.
Are you on some kind of list for the most pointless posts.
We need high profile signings. Have you followed Everton for the last 7 years. We don't do high profile, we do clever.
Please, please, please, remember you are writing about Everton Football Club.
Stupid comments make us look like the rest of them. We are better and you need to take this into account when you decide to link us to players with whom we have no chance of signing.

I'd love us to sign Glen Johnson but it won't happen as he's said he'll only leave for Champions League football. As much as I've stuck up for Hibbert I just don't think he's good enough if we want to seriously challenge the top 4.
I'm quite plaeesd with the information in this one. TY!
