Irish Toffee

Saha had a good time at Fulham, he was a real threat for them and helped them to secure a place in the Premiership. He looked really good when he played and you knew it was only a matter of time before either Manchester United or Arsenal snapped him up.

 

If you look at his records he's not done bad considering he's been injured for some time. He's managed to net 53 goals for Fulham in 117 appearances and scored 28 goals in 86 appearances for Manchester United. Hopefully him and Yak will be a good strike force for 2008/09.

 

In my opinion this is the perfect signing, we needed a striker to play alongside Yakubu and this is the perfect man. We look good in attack now with Yak, Saha, Vaughan, Baxter, Jutkiewicz and Anichebe (even though Anichebe can leave for me) we should really start to roll in the goals and challenge for Europe again this season.

 

Good signings so far, Jacobsen looked good against Nurnburg and Castillo's looks good according to his Ecuador records. I suppose we can't complain getting them on a free transfer. But we look set for the season now, one or two more signings (a goalkeeper please?) and we should be done - COYB

Sorry mate but you are talking shite about Jacobsen there - he wasn't even on the bench when we played Nurnberg...

I can see Riquelme working back he mad a fair few tackles agianst us in the CL and as for Yak well you dont often see AJ tracking back and actually doing anything!

Yeah but Riquelme is a midfielder - albeit an attacking one...

Don't get me wrong I know he's class but I just think that he would upset the balance of the Everton team

Wouldn't want him for a second - he is a luxury that a team like Everton cannot afford.. Moyes has built a team that works for each other. Can you see Riquelme working back and making tackles?? I cannot..

His wages would be massive, he wouldn't fit into the team, and he would be sitting on the bench for the majority of the time...

Fine in Spain or Italy - not built for the Prem IMO...

Good signing imo - better than Neville and Carsley in centre mid... He's not the exciting signing everyone is waiting for but he's not too bad either!

Jags left wing haha even Baines is rightback, is your team done right?

Yeah just spotted that - reverse the full backs and the wide men and that's what I meant!!

Even without Taylor it's a quality side

Howard

Baines Yobo Lescott Neville

Arteta Cahill Appiah Jags

Yak AJ

Let's not forget that Neville has played plenty games for Utd and England at right back - he's no mug and he's the club captain! Jags played plenty at right mid for Sheff U and is better there imo..

Both would be outstanding signings - everyone knows what Manny can do and Yaks goalscoring record cannot be argued with...

There has to be some truth to it - it's being reported everywhere... If it's not it's one elaborate smoke screen!

Cahill is injured...

Seen a bit of him - he can play as a central midfielder or in the hole as a support to AJ, has scored quite a few goals too!

Class player and could be a great addition...

Oh ya - Absolutely delighted we didn't get Smith, the guy is a has-been

Think he'd be an top signing for us - perfect with Victor with AJ out...

I just hope in the summer Moyes pulls a couple of quality deals from up his sleeve like he did last summer. If he can do that then some hope shall return, but not buying this window when we have and will let players go is fucking crazy. I know it's not all Moyes' fault with BK fucking about behind the scenes, making Moyes say and do certain things IMO.

Couldn't agree more mate!

I don't know what Moyes is up to - either you are interested in a player and you pull out all the stops and get him, or you shut the fook up and look at other options. I firmly believe that Joey Barton is the kind of player we need but with Moyes pissing about we won't get him and we'll end up missing out on Europe for another year while the likes of Bolton and Pompey fight it out with the big boys where we should rightfully be.. So frustrating!!

Hope so - we do have a history of offloading our best!!

Just cannot see it happening - he would be a great player wherever he went but cannot see ferguson wanting to unsettle Carrick... Spurs maybe - but still doubt it completely tbh

Probably will - and will probably concede 10+ goals in those games!

Hes got the number 1 shirt so prob wont be going anywere

Why give him the nmber 1 shirt - i suppose cos Ruddy and Turner are considered too young and Howard on loan... Still he is Paul Gerrard all over again - USELESS!!

I'd personally hate to see him sign - don't rate him, and he is a lifelong redsh*te...

Carsley is not English he is Irish, not sure which Ireland he played for though

I know - I could be wrong about Moyes signing him, it could have been Smith..

He played for the Republic.. Keano's understudy

Could be wrong about Carsley alright..

Would love to see Malbranque at the club though - the guy has the kind of trickery we need and can score a couple as well! Sign him up...

Non British players signed by Moyes

Tim Howard

Nuno Valente

Joseph Yobo

Andy VDM

Kevin Kilbane

Lee Carsley

Tim Cahill

St Dom kept us all up with whatever info he thought was going to lead to players being signed - fair play mate!

Fairly new to the site lads but this is one of the best threads I have read...

Fookin nerve wracking stuff though!!

ive never seen him play butheard alright reviews of him, anyone seen him play? If so would he be a good signing?

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Saw him play in the amsterdam tournament in august.. Good touch and nice hold up play.. Looked a little too similar to BT for my liking though.. Reckon we need somone smaller with more pace - Earnshaw is the only one around that I could see doing a job for us

Kevin Doyle definitely a prospect - I agree with Cork Toffee I also saw him out at the Cross a lot last year and he would be worth a look..

Reckon Reading will definitely want to hold on to him though
