    Brilliant!

    Lescott, Arteta, Cahill would make it in any top side across europe. I go to see Everton a few times a season and try to watch all tv games. I have to say, watching Arteta live at a game is a joy! The man is so intelligent on and off the ball. On tv you only see so much of a player. Any time I go to Goodison I just pray that he is playing (for Everton's sake and mine :D )....

    His judgement, vision, passing and crossing is top drawer. He is always a step ahead. He knows how a ball is going to break and where to be at the right time. For 2 million quid he has to be one of the best buys ever. Also Cahill was only a million. Lescott was around a million as well.

    Arteta is class but he goes missing way way too much to play in a top 4, cahill wouldn't make it into the first 11 at the top 4 but he would make the bench, Lescott was awful for England but has potential.

    I believe Arty was 2.8, Timmy was 2.2 but Lescott was 5 million, all very well spent it transpires.

    I disagree Arteta goes missing. If he's playing, he is the centre of everything. Sometimes he's merely electric, but he never disappears.

    Cahill's only problem is the wealth of competition for his position in the top 4. He's not as good as Lampard or Scholes, but to be honest, over a season, I think he'd come up with more big performances than Gerrard, and score at least as many goals, probably more. All the while providing the same tireless running. He's not as strong on the ball though.

    Lescott is the best defender Everton have had. If Fabio watches any Everton games, I think he'll get more chances. I'd have him over the aging Sol Cambell any day.

    Anyone else waiting to see DesF's head explode when Stephen Hunt joins Sunderland (as he seems to want to do)?

    I don't think Hunt is top 4 material, but I'd have thought he could do a job at somewhere like Villa or Spurs or Newcastle (if they got their act together).

    Villa are joint 6th I think comparing them with spurs and newcastle and saying if they got their act together is funny, but I might be biased PSI :D

    Ah I see, I couldn't seehim getting place in the Villa side or the others really, Young, Lennon, Milner all better imo.

    Very similar player to Nakamura. Maybe faster than Naka?
