Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  Kāore te kaiwhakahaere o Everton a Roberto Martinez i whakakore i te tūmanako kia whiwhi kirimana hou a Antolin Alcaraz, a Sylvain Distin, engari me whakamārama e hiahia ana rātau kia noho tonu rātau hei tangata hira i te wā kei te heke mai o te karapu. Ka pau ngā kirimana o ngā kaitautoko e rua i tēnei wā o te raumati, ā, kāore pea ka noho tonu a Distin, e 38 nei i te marama o Tihema, ā, he nui ake ōna tākaro mō te kapa o raro i te 21 tau i te marama whakamutunga, i tōna tākaro ki te kapa tuatahi. Ko Alcaraz, 33 i Hōngongoi, he nui ake te tupono ki te whakarite i te whakawhitinga poto-roa i te mea e titiro ana a Martinez ki te whakapakari me te whakahou i tana tiaki i te raumati. E mea ana a Roberto Martinez kei te whai wā tonu te kaitautoko 37-tau a Sylvain Distin ki te whakamatau i te tika o tana kirimana hou. Ko Antolin Alcaraz, i uru atu ki Everton mai i Wigan i reira i takaro ai ia i raro i a Martinez, ka taea te whiwhi kirimana hou. Ahakoa e hiahia ana te rangatira o te Toffees ki te whakatairanga i nga taranata o nga kaitakaro taitamariki - ko Tyias Browning me Brendan Galloway nga mea e rua ka whai hua - kaore ia i whakakore i te pupuri i nga kaitakaro matua o mua. 'E rua noa nga kaitakaro kei waho o te kirimana, a e rua nga kaitakaro nama (Aaron Lennon me Christian Atsu) a ka whakatauhia enei whakatau ka mutu ana te waa,' i kii a Martinez. 'Ko ngā kēmu e ono e whai ake nei he nui te pānga ki tērā. Ko ngā meneti e iwa tekau he whai wāhitanga nui ki te huri i ngā tirohanga a te iwi. 'Ka whakawakia ngā tāngata katoa i taua wā. I roto i te whutupaoro kaore he take mena he kirimana to koe kaore ranei, me whakapai tonu koe me te whakaatu i te ahua tika me te whakaatu kua rite koe ki te whakauru ki te heke mai o te karapu. Engari ka whiwhi koe i ngā kaitākaro i te mutunga o ā rātou kirimana, he whakatau hei whakatau, ā, ehara i te karapu anake, ko te kaitākaro anō hoki. E ai ki a Roberto Martinez, kua ono marama te wā e rapu ana te kapa whakawhiwhinga o tana karapu i ngā whāinga. He nui ake te tākaro a Distin mō te kapa rangatahi o Everton i te tuatahi o te tekau mā tahi i te marama kua hipa, ā, tērā pea kei te haere ia. I kii a Martinez kua whakatauhia e raatau he raarangi o nga whaainga whakawhiti mo te raumati, a, ahakoa kaore ia e whakapumautia i te iwi, ko te nama a Aston Villa ki Manchester United...
Ka mutu te kirimana a Antolin Alcaraz rāua ko Sylvain Distin i te raumati nei. Kāore tētahi o ngā kaitākaro i noho pūmau ki te kapa tuatahi i ngā wiki tata nei. Engari ko te kaiwhakahaere a Roberto Martinez e tohe ana ka taea e te tokorua te whakatakoto i tētahi kirimana hou. Kua tohua e Everton ngā whāinga mō te raumati, tae atu ki a Tom Cleverley.
