The Everton fans here in the Transfer Tavern have been a lively bunch of late with their team pushing hard to earn European qualification through the league this season.

The Toffees faithful have spent many an evening here in the Tavern praising their team following a good run of form, which has seen them shoot up the Premier League and in to contention for a European berth.

Ronald Koeman seems to have finally settled into life as the club’s manager after a somewhat difficult start following his arrival in the summer from top flight rivals Southampton.

A group of Everton supporters are in the Tavern discussing the day’s arrangements for when the Toffees travel to Liverpool this weekend and they have also begun talking about which players should feature for the team next season.

Our landlord is intrigued by this and takes a look at TWO players Everton should look to dispense of sooner rather than later…

Leighton Baines

The England left-back hasn’t been at his level best this season and years of playing in the Premier League is finally catching up with the Liverpudlian defender.

One Everton fan is perched on one of the benches in the beer garden and he is of the belief that Baines is still a good player, although he does concede that the summer could be the time to look for a replacement for the left-back.

Arouna Kone

Very much a Roberto Martinez signing, the Everton striker has barely featured for the club this season and staying beyond the summer looks unthinkable for the Ivorian talisman.

One Everton fan is chugging away on a e-cigarette and he thinks that Kone is not of the required quality to improve the squad, stating that he should head the list of departures this summer.
