Saw this on the BBC gossip page today, no idea who he is or even if its true but hey! Everton boss David Moyes is tracking Sevilla midfielder Seydou Keita. The Spanish club believe the Mali international can be as good as Michael Essien and will want £10m for him. (Daily Mirror)

Dont think he is a Carsley type player he is more of an attacking midfielder who has been banging in the goals this season

Im pretty sure that the Piennar fee is already agreed at £2.5M. As for Arshavin IMHO its a no brainer he is top class and the figures getting bandied about are reasonable so sign him!

Probably just as well because of he had seen that pile of sh**e on Saturday he would probably have done another runner!

Well you never know lets hope they can spring a surprise!

No idea how true this is but the bloke sitting next to me at yesterdays FA Cup capitulation swears blind that he saw Manny at Goodison yesterday with his own eyes

Maybe Im still a bit down after yesterdays farce but the thought of the same midfield that failed to make an impression against an understrength Oldham at Goodison, minus Piennar, taking on Chelsea at Stamford Bridge doesnt fill me with confidence

Stevie P wont be playing on Tuesday as the South African FA have refused him permission. Think thats us out then! http://www.supersport.co.za/soccer/article...20arrive%20late

Sorry wasnt meaning to blame you in particular. I have read the entire thread and Im just frustrated that so many people seem to want rid of one of our best players. I was just dont see the point of the thread , there is no way we could sell Arteta then bring in Manny and Bentley with the proceeds its pure bollox. Whilst I think Bentley is a great player does everyone think he is on fire week in week out? I was at the game against them this season and he was awful against us. Manny hasnt had a look in all season over in Spain and has had all kinds of discaplinary probs off the pitch so even though he was a sucess he last year there is a bit of a gamble there. Arteta never gives anything but 100 % Every player is going to have there ups and downs . I just cant beleive that there are Everton fans out there who dont appreciate what Mikel Arteta gives to our team

I agree his form did take a dip earlier in the season but IM with you even then I dont think hewas playing badly. I do think that since he has come back he has been a lot better. He was as good as he has ever been against Sunderland and I thought he was great against Arsenal

Where is all this bollox coming from ? I would rather have Kaka and Drogba than the Yak or even Steven Gerrard & Gatusso than Carsley or how about Ronaldo & Henry for Piennar? There all about as likely to happen as Manny and Bentley

Maybe he hasnt hit the same heights as last season consistantly this season but he is still a class act an is still by far and away our most creative player and I also believe he brings out the best in players like Stevie P and Ossie. He is on record as saying he loves it here and thats good enough for me. I really cant understand why anybody would want to get rid of him

This mornings Daily Post is saying that we are refusing to rule out a move for Manny on loan , but want Valencia to drop the fee

His agent is saying we have agreed to take him on loan until the end of the season! http://sport.setanta.com/en/Sport/News/Foo...n-Everton-move/

Fernandes agent is now claiming he is on his way to Everton! http://www.typicallyspanish.com/news/publi...cle_14446.shtml

Haha I am truly lost for words!

Precisely! Would you want a cm combo of Ossie & Piennar? As for Arteta , where are you getting your info from, ? he has just signed a five year contract and is on record as saying he loves the club and wants to stay. Even his agent has said this week that he doesnt want to go. That doesnt sound like a player we should be showing the door. He is by far our most ceative player why do u want him to go? Tim Howard probably wants to return to the States eventually shall we get rid of him aswell? We are never going to move forward if we are a selling club, we should be building the team around Arteta not trying to make a fast buck

Wouldnt like to go down to just AJ Vic and James V, especially considering the amount of games we hopefully will have to play

Ive never seen Pandev play so got no idea what hes like but I think Piennar is too lightweight to play in the middle and I would hate to see Arteta go at any price. We need to be improving the squad not selling our best players

Pandev is a centre forward so I dont reckon we need him, unless we let Mcfadden go

That was exactly my point!!!

http://sport.setanta.com/en/Sport/News/Foo...anta-exclusive/ Van Buytens agent reckons he is a mate of Moysey and he says hes told him hes looking for a centre back on loan

From tonights Echo His moving celebration - smacking the black armband all the players wore in respect to Phil O’Donnell and looking to the heavens – confirmed this had been a difficult afternoon for him but, as always, he conducted himself immaculately.

Has anybody heard who got our second in our WIN at Borro the other day, or who the man of the match was?

Newcastle would offer double the wages we could offer!
