so this could have legs!!

still speculation. all the papers do it to say they got there first. only way we can know for certain is official website

It would be massively worth staying up if we announced not one but two signings. If nothing in the next five mins i'm off to bed

ps it's French

anyone speak whatever the hell language this is?

It's the same article as above. see link above for google translation. just says signed on 90,000 Euros net a month contract for 5 years.

According to wiki hes coming becuase of BK usual bullshit about being in the boys pen..http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marouane_Fellaini

Dont read wiki - that page has been updated so many times tonight that it's mostly bull. It's ranged from being nicknamed "Stuart Barlow" to being paid 3 fig rolls and having to do the dishes. It's just not a credible source.

Sorry guys it was heartless of me to do that - i hope i didnt cause any heart attacks. I bet you all felt excited for a few seconds though. Reports are starting to come to the UK now. SteveOs echo link is interesting - signing has been 2 weeks in the making!?

sorry gents had to be done!

;-)

OS is down right now, wonder if its to add the 'breaking news' page!!??

It's been up and down all night - lots of traffic i would imagine from hopeful fans

we wont really know until tomorrow....the transfer rules arent that they have to be announced by midnight, only registered. Time will tell, but let's not get hopes up to avoid disappointment.

haha i wouldnt rely on wikipedia - i've watched all of the updates on that page for the past hour...full of Toffeetalkers vandalising it probably!!

"net monthly salary of 90,000 euros."

 

~16 836 pounds net, which is about right for around 30k/week. Salaries are normally quoted gross

That will do me. Goodnight everybody. xx

what you cant even wait 3 minutes?!

they were this afternoon....train only takes 2 1/2 hours to lime street!

does anybody else hate the auto-playing video on the official site?

he'd be cup tied, right?

oh MASSIVELY thinking with my heart! It's the only way I can stay awake for the next 25 minutes. ;-)

hmm i'm a little disappointed at the moment but 35 mins left and here's hoping we've kept it all quiet and announce 2-3 good quality players that we've signed through the day at midnight....after that I will keep to my word - forget the last 3 months and focus on supporting the team we have.

For the love of all things blue, I'm saying (and absolutely hoping) 2 - and they have to be 2 good quality ones as well.

 

One thing is for certain...after midnight tomorrow, whatever has happened, I am forgetting every second of the past 3 months' transfer saga and thinking about backing whatever we've got in the squad with all my energy. Let's be realistic here, we were never going to be in the fight for top 4 anyway. It's all about fighting for 5th place this season and I'm not ashamed to admit it. COME ON YOU BLUES!!!

My Mrs thinks I'm constantly looking at porn. All these late nights over the last week or so wanting to check if we're going to sign anyone!

She definitely thinks you're looking at porn now after that shout of "YES!" following the Castillo announcement.

Peter Johnson was a Tranmere fan

Liverpool Season ticket holder

Liverpool Shareholder

 

Yes he did own Tranmere (still does?) but he is a gobshite, no question.

Informative article about Johnson: http://www.toffeeweb.com/club/business/chairmen/Johnson.asp

 

some good bits but LOTS of bad bits.

 

Compared to Kenwright.......

i'll probably get shot down for this by people who see PJ as the devil and BK as some sort of saint.

It's cos he's a red shite

Indeed, maybe I should do some research before I make a silly, childish rant like that ;-)

Kenwright has said he aint got enough money to compete with the BIG 4, yet there are 3 billionairres investing in the club, GREEN, LOWE, and the supremo whose name i cant recall.

 

How can we be struggling with money?

 

For a premiership club that has a very respected name and done resonably well in the past few years, there is surely something amiss here?

 

If we aint got the money to compete, why on earth are we trying to sign players who want big money and the champions league, whilst depleting our already tiny squad, is beyond me. How many could we afford? 2, 3 or 4 maybe? At say, 15 million each, come on!!!! We need at least 6 players if were to play 50 games a season,

 

Even if we did manage to sign top players, they want big money and we wont challenge for a few seasons, Meaning more debt

 

Not to mention the countless cost of proving the validity of the new stadium plans

 

In my opinion, Kenwright although he loves the club, ought to go now. AND PUT THE CLUB UP FOR SALE

Boring. Have you not been reading the papers the past few weeks? Kenwright has been looking for an investor to buy the club from him for 4 years since he bought his majority. Nobody is interested...yet.

 

Kenwright, woods and earl hold the majority of the club's shares and Sir Philip Green has absolutely nothing to do with the club except that he is Kenwright's mate, and lent him some money to buy the club off Peter Johnson....he does not own any shares and many times has publicly stated he has no interest in owning or financing a football club. Earl doesnt give a hoot about spending his hard-earned money on Everton but he's a damn sight better option than Gregg (or so we're led to believe ;-)). Also, can anybody tell me what exactly Jon Woods does?

 

By the way...Do some research before you make a silly, childish rant like that.
