15 million pounds this cost, Sporting was asking for 18 million. after the sale of Johnson surely there would have been some money to splash out, i just dont see why moyes didnt meet demands of sporting to get moutinho as apposed to this signing. none the less its a happy and welcomed signing

what is the last resort? that was the last potential signing which has been from both sides. were do you turn to now?

wtf happened with smith aswell, not saying im keen to get him but this is getting sad

Just when our patience couldnt be pushed any further, I stumbed across this bit of news.

"The 26-year-old, who sealed his £2million move from Borussia Dortmund in April, will thus miss Everton's Premier League opener against Blackburn Rovers and could spend up to six weeks on the sidelines."

Just what we needed, only positive that can come out of this is that Moyes may step up his ambitions to sign another Midfielder, no real option but to make some form of signing.

I am becoming increasingly frustrated with this, have a look at the squad we have at the moment. Skill wise nothing wrong with it but its so shallow. I am tempted to turn off my laptop and not check the sites anymore,its filling me with false hope and deffering myself away from the reality that we probs wont sign him. We need him now Fernandes is out of the picture, and truthfully its looking grim. I hope i have completley jinxed the scenario and i can wake up tomorrow morning and find the signing completed.. in all seriousness can someone vouch for a reliable source or is gonna be my mates second cousins fathers mate who runs towles for the club.....

does anyone acttuallu have any actual rumours, likw is there anything that we can go on as a replacmen...

^^ Yano what mate, its not Moyes, its out board. All moyes does is says who he wants etc, and maybe a price he's worth and the board do the rest I think..

my bad, i just mean the club on the whole, i am watching the valencia V villereal game, they r talking about him atm, saying how he will add depth, so i am confident we have lost him... so frustrating..

i am actually furious on this one, im sorry to say this but i have lost so much faith in the ability to stabilise a crucial transfer,,, moyes needs to pull the trigger much earlier,, it is so F**KING frustrating, splash some cash, it is a worthy investment, he i experienced, skillfull and is 21 for f**ks sake, and now the yak deal ounds like its off,, i am so frustrated, and everyone here has the right to be

meh, even if its not the Blackburn game, there will be others

Come on,Manny has proven he can play premiership and will be one of the best players we have once we sign him and you reckon we bench him? Carsley + Neville both played shite against Reading imo so its not like there playing to good to take one of them out.

 

Pienaar on the other hand im sure will be a good player but when he has came on he's looked confused on the left wing we need to give him a few 20 mins before a start or play him in his true position behind the striker.

 

Well, my team to play would be

 

-------------Howard---------------

 

Hibbo---Yobo-----Lescott--Baines

 

--------------Carsley---------------

 

--Arteta----Fernandes---Osman--

 

---------A.J---------McFadden-----

i apologise for my preious statement, cos i didnt make it clear.. Manny is equally my favourite player for Everton (assuming he signs) and it is obvious his skill and ability to play in the Premier League.. but we have Steven for 1 year on loan,, give him a run, he is an absolute gun, i still say we start him this week, and sit manny on the bench for a little bit. Leaave steve on and bring off osman for fernandes... formation can change to suit it,

Hey ToffeeBlue

 

Also in Melbourne and have failed in the past to locate any fan clubs here. Myself and brother are keen to watch the games somewhere "painted in blue". Maybe a pub somewhere with a blue gathering can be one of the initial steps???

 

Any ideas anyone??

yeah mate, i agree, well name your local pub, we need to find somewhere convnient,, i am from the general Kew and Hawthorn area, maybe something in the CBD???

oh and X-Pat, could we grab the contact for steve, cos i think there are alot more lads around melbourne who would be up for this, i will help try and set it up, spread the word,,, can anyone set up a website promoting nights

Hey I'm from Melbourne and would love to find any other melbourne everton fans or find out if there is any Australian/Melbourne Fan clubs.

yeah mate i am from melbourne, in kew,,, where are you from,, i am gonna try and suss somewhere out,, is there any fan clubs down here...

i feel sorry for turner, not so much ruddy cos he is still young, he has a future hear, pretty much we have told turner he is not needed

spare me, i reckon it would be good for him to read this stuff, get some fans perspective... if taylor is up for grabs then take him, but at 5 mill its expensive considering manny is on the way in, yet, i would happy to see it happen

i agree stevo,,, moye is a smart man, i hope he is reading this

just a tad optimistic adam

24 hours huh,,, come on Moyes,, deliver

Hey everyon,, just wondering if there are any Australian Evertonians in the forum. If so where you from and is there any fan clubs around this great land

I would like to see us get Yak because we are desperate for a forward because Big Vic isnt ready yet, but I thought he was overpriced at £10M so £12.5M is absolutely ludicrous.

Granted he is good when he wants to be but he is also useless when he wants to be and that added to the fact we will lose him for 6 weeks during the busiest part of the season makes me think its a waste of money

I agree 100% that vic isnt ready to play, its been evident through his start to the season, he is gonna be good up forward, i stll think we should bring in Yak, look, he (assuming we wins the respect of teammates) will be able to teach him a thing or to,,, but i reckon we try and get a striker who is a little less "Mark Viduka" and more of a Benjanji Or Kanu for Portsmouth, one of those players, is Yakubu quick????

2-1 to us, i think that we will get up at home, Steven to start and Manny to start on the bench.. give steve PIENAAR a run, he is an absolute gun, i agree that santa cruz to score, he is so solid up front, expect lescott to own him though, hopefully we can all get through this game fit and well,, it depends on how dirty Blackburn decide to play

G'Day everyone,,

Look forward to making an input t this great site

It’s a simple case of Moyes needing to recognise that it is a quality investment in putting the 12.5 into Yakubu, it is not that he has to choose between him and Manny. LOOK TO THE FUTURE, Anichibe and Yakubu, working together up front.. sounds pretty attractive to me, I think if Yak dosen’t work out, Moyes should seek out some of Mannys lads over in Portugal, there is a whole different level of skill there, plus they are young and come from what are pretty much feeder clubs, Arteta is so skillfull and Moyes should look for a young player who can potentially turn out like him

yak is essential, moyes has the cash, he NEEDS to spend this money, with anichibe still very young at a teenager, who would be a better mentor then a fellow Nigerian of Yak, sure Andy Johnson is an excellent striker (and stop bitching about how he hasnt scored yet) because he will very soon, Yak would just add another level which would be exciting for the future, can anyone officially say that the deal is off/ name alternatives besides Defoe and Love becuse they are not gonna happen, also can someone confirm the manny deal...

a big no for me

Chill out lads.. do you really think that Moyes will choose matt taylor over Fernandes, Moyes had a soft spot for manny so consider that one done.. sure he is taking his time to announce it, but it is just as good as done, Benefica left him out of there EURO matches.. and why is that?? So he can qualify with Everton. Moyes will sign Manny, and will only sign taylor as backup, 5 million is expensive, but he is a good midfielder…. Can anyone confirm if this interest is true or just tribal rubbish, also is the Yakubu deal as good as dead????
