    Easy.

    Aspas---Suarez---Costa


    Suarez roaming around like a f9 and forward hybrid. Suarez opens at the space, Costa and Aspas run in to the space created by Suarez and Suarez plays the ball to them. If they are through on goal they shoot, if not they jossle with the ball similar to what Suarez has already done, Suarez runs ahead of them and they play the ball to him. Penalty area is crowded, Coutinho is in there to and Gerrard on the edge. Full backs in the wing positions. Domination.

    Story also says he's heard nothing about an offer from Liverpool, and that he's an Atheltico player.

    You want to hope that's right, as he's gash.

    Have you seen Arouna Kone lately? <laugh>

    I really don't know much about him bar one game and youtube ( which is never a good barometer). Btw, Mirallas must be one of the most exciting and frustrating players to play for Everton in some time!!

    Unfortunately I have seen Kone & I'm hoping that his pre-season ****ness is due to Ramadan & the fact that he's Hank Marvin <laugh>

    Mirallas could be a star this season, providing his chocolate hamstrings don't melt in August again :(

    Being as Hank Marvin is 71, this could explain the basic ****ness of Kone, if indeed he is Hank Marvin.

    I'd ask who it was who paid for him, why they didn't check the merchandise before accepting, and did you keep the receipt...<ok>

    Unless there's one guy in charge of transfers at Atletico and he's told everyone else at the club that no bid has come in, we've not bid because information leaks from that club like a sieve.

    Toure is in the middle of Ramadan and has looked good for us? Maybe it just affects some more than others?

    Mirallas had moments in the real game where he just MUGGED off the Madrid defenders but then would pick the wrong decision in the final third. Naismith wasn't pleased with him most of the game lol.

    I feel like we have the strikers close to the vest but still wish we would get a top CM and LB/CB.

    Kone's defo got a dodgy African birth certificate, similar to the one that 43 year old Yakubu had when we paid £11.5m for him.

    Looks like this transfer is dead judging by the comments coming from Madrid & Costa.

    Wonder if we have any other targets lined up... think we do need another winger/forward especially if Downing goes and then a possible replacement for Suarez.

    Now that Damiao's crew is waiting for European offers, I think we should go after him. Think he would do the biz for us and he would certainly get PT!!! Coutinho would relish that as well.
