"I think you can still have as much fun playing in the lower leagues as you can in the Premier League Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fox92 Posted 27 March 2013 Share Posted 27 March 2013 I really like Phil Neville. Think he is a good professional, and as seen in the article, he obviously wants to keep playing football. He might be able to offer that bit of strength in midfield imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foxfanazer Posted 27 March 2013 Share Posted 27 March 2013 Not for me. Had his best years and I never really rated him in his prime to be honest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Fox Posted 27 March 2013 Author Share Posted 27 March 2013 Hell no Why not? Kevin Phillips etc are still performing at championship, Neville would be ideal for us we need experience and quality in the centre of the park he would provide that imo.

Fox92 Posted 27 March 2013 Share Posted 27 March 2013 Not for me. Had his best years and I never really rated him in his prime to be honest He isn't a World Class International, never was, but he can still add that bit of strength in midfield, something we lack at times. That, along with his experience, could be indispensible to a club looking to get into the Premier League. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Changed my comment as it sounded like I'd be more against it than I actually would be.No doubt he has tonnes of experience and he'd be quite safe to have in midfield. I guess I just don't find him that exciting of a player. Maybe you need a few players like that in your team? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StanSP Posted 27 March 2013 Share Posted 27 March 2013 I like him as a player; he's quite professional and this latest statement does go some way to showing he loves the game for the game and not solely for money. However, saying that, he is probably on a good pay-packet so as much as he says he's willing to go down the leagues, I can't imagine he'll want to drop down too much too soon. A Championship club on the up will definitely be going for his signature as he can still offer a fair bit, especially in experience and versatility which is key in this division. I'm undecided on if I'd personally take him as I wouldn't want him to require high wages as one last big pay-off and use us like other players have done previously.

We do imo two areas of the pitch still need addressing central midfield and the wing positions. The likes of Phil Neville/ Dean Whitehead are required imo to help us gain automatic promotion in the championship next season should we remain in this division. If we go up this season then those type of players would be necessary because they have huge amounts of experience at that level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Fatboyslow_ Posted 27 March 2013 Share Posted 27 March 2013 Hang on didn't he say he didn't mind going down the leagues ? Sounds like the wrong direction to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingfox Posted 27 March 2013 Share Posted 27 March 2013 No. He has been one of Everton's worst players this season, if not the worst. Useless, he should retire and go into coaching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leicesterisme Posted 27 March 2013 Share Posted 27 March 2013 No. He has been one of Everton's worst players this season, if not the worst. Useless, he should retire and go into coaching. Even though he's played the majority of their games this season and they are sitting in 6th place. How on earth would you know if he's been their worst player? Do you watch them week in week out?

Basingstoke Fox Posted 27 March 2013 Share Posted 27 March 2013 Anyone see the Phil Neville behaviour trend when it was going around on Twitter? My personal favourites were: #PhilNevilleBehaviour Clapping, encouraging players to raise their game, when you've just set up Callum Mcmanaman for Wigans second. Throwing your shirt into the crowd after the game, only to have it thrown back at you #PhilNevilleBehaviour Not really seen him play for years so I can't offer much of an opinion.

Stinkenzo Posted 27 March 2013 Share Posted 27 March 2013 Told you guys, there are much more than that as well as Basingstoke Fox will know. So don't accuse me of knowing nothing, about Everton or Phil Neville. Yeah you just know nothing in general. He would still be a good squad player. Just because he's apparently not good enough to be in the Everton team doesn't mean he cant do a job at Championship level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is shit nowadays, and luckily after the Wigan defeat got dropped next game. He is only captain because he is experienced, drop him and they can easily give Jagielka or Osman the armband.
