Big four can be broken - Yobo

Mon 22 Jun, 05:51 PM


Joseph Yobo is convinced Everton can force their way into the top four with a bit more financial muscle.

Yobo was part of the side defeated by Chelsea in the FA Cup final at Wembley last month, after which manager David Moyes pleaded for the funds that would allow him to strengthen his squad during the early weeks of the summer.

Moyes is still to make a move, but providing he gets the right backing from chairman Bill Kenwright, Yobo is convinced Everton can smash the barrier that separates the top four from the rest.

"With a better financial backing, we can be in the top four before long," Yobo told Lagos-based TV station Galaxy.

"We have a very bright future ahead. We have finished these past two seasons within the top six and we are still growing as a team. I believe that in the very near future we will break into the top four in England."

  3. Everton wont make the top 4 unless they stay injury­ free and make 2 key purchaces a right back hibbert is­ only good for cover (not quick enough) and we also need­ saha to stay fit. Carsley still hasnt been replaced in­ the holding midfield roll. 2 players and injury free­ there is a chance.

  4. If Everton makes it up there (I rather dout it)*they­ will take Chelsea's spot
    Arsenal looks good and­ strong, Man U is going down but not that much, and­ Liverpool is brilliant, but Chelsea is old and way to­ prideful, PRIDE PRECEDES THE FALL chelsea will fall and­ loose and this time "it won't be the ref's­ fault" LOL

    GO Gunners down Chelsea

  5. agree with you YIP, yes city and spurs can break the­ big 4, but everton also not possible to achive that­ because there never sell player and that will cost­ consistency. But sorry villa you already losy you­ inspiration captain.

  6. city might but thats it. aston villa are going­ backwards,everton will remain decent, spurs are trying­ to sign players beyond them but man city look now to­ have a team that actually looks better than arsenal and­ liverpools providing they sign tevez and a top centre­ half

  7. Yobo, you and your colleagues will have to prove that­ Everton can compete with not only the top four, Man U,­ Chelsea, Liverpool and Arsenal but also with the big­ spenders, Man City next season. I suspect we will have­ little to spend on new players of any real quality. I­ just hope your predictions come to fruition.

  9. Comment hidden due to its low rating. Show

    Everton can be a top-four. Arsenal will be a bottom-16.

  10. Everton are no nearer breaking into the top 4 than this­ time last year ,

    we need to buy and buy well to get­ closer to the big 4 ,

    the gap is still massive­ between ,villa ,spurs and everton and the very top­ sides !

    that is t he reality

    From IAN, on Mon 22 Jun 7:13PM

  11. yeh u cn break into the top 4 as long as u take­ chelsea's place or united's place haha lol x­ YNWA

    From smiley123, on Mon 22 Jun 6:34PM

  13. Experience they say is the best Teacher. Tevez should­ look at Robinho, s stay at Man City to KNOW or find­ out, if Man City fits him well or will fit him well in­ future. Why did Kaka, Etoo, C. Ronaldo and David Villa­ not sign for Man City? Please, Tevez, Go to where you­ will be known and recognized all over the world, and­ go to a team that commands good respect for football,­ and its players and the team remains one an ONLY­ (CHELSEA)! This is your place of ABODE, Come on Coach­ Ancelloti, sign TEVEZ without looking back. (ONYEOMA­ AFRICA 00)

  14. YOBO should stop making mouth about top 4 in England,­ and ensure that his own national team qualifies for­ world cup. How can he play well at Everton without­ ensuring that his National team qualifies for World­ Cup? It will take another 10years to beat the present­ top 4 in England, unless the Gunners wants to give it­ up for you guys. (ONYEOMA AFRICA 00).

  15. Yobo told Lagos-based TV station Galaxy. So thats why­ i keep getting all the get rich quick scams from­ there.. it is so Everton can get in the top 4 !!
    It all­ makes sense now !!
    But on a serious note, Everton have­ done very well the last few seasons, but with out real­ cash , Top 4 is too big a step for them, Man City ,­ Spurs, and Villa, seem to have a bit more cash to­ spalsh, and City are the ones who can get into the top­ 4, and knock Arsenal out of it !
