Yes, well done to the Blue Union. Telling every club in the world how broke we are.

This is definitely a Moyes decision. We can't say that "Moyes signs, the board sells". Arteta would be going nowhere if Moyes didn't want him to go.

The more I think about it the more it makes sense in my head. I think even Moyes sees Arteta and Cahill as replacable. Only Howard, Baines, Jagielka and Fellaini truly unsellable, I think. Arteta is earning wages way out of proportion to his value to the side. However, if Yak, Beckford and Arteta go and Drenthe and Stracqualursi are the only in's then I think there will be uproar.

SSN are way behind everyone else lads. WAY behind.

Osman and Barkley available to step in I suppose. £13m'ish would represent tremendous business for an out-of-form, aging, injury prone Arteta. But.... I'll probably still cry. The best little spaniard we know. Love him to bits Hope he doesn't go.

Matt Dickinson from the Times says deal is very likely. I still don't see this going through.

John Cross (Mirror hack) says Arsenal are hopeful of completing a deal before the window closes. Phil McNulty says he's hearing "no deal" Confusion abounds.

Drenthe's contract is up next summer, no need for an option if he IS on loan. I'm hearing it could be a free.

Confirmed by numerous Spanish journos that Drenthe has signed for us. Some talk of it being on a free One of the fastest players in football. Yes please.

Wages.

Disappointed we're selling Beckford, I think he's a touch of class. But it's clear Moyes won't play him properly so perhaps £4.5m represents great business from that point of view. A couple of new signings would go a long way to exciting the fanbase again, as well.

It's being vandalised. I think he's actually 6"3'. He scored 22 in 35 last season and was the Argentinian top scorer and his tally included a hat-trick against Boca Juniors.

Grand Old Team's ITK, LCAB has said he expects 2 in and 2 out today. Though deadline day can sometimes move a bit fast for him to keep up with his source.

Transfer re-cap: Yakubu in Blackburn for talks, according to the Echo's Greg O'Keeffe. Leicester City have a bid in the region of £4.5m accepted for Jermaine Beckford according to multiple Leicester City-based journalists (including one from the Beeb), Greg O'Keeffe says it's now up to Beckford to decide on a move or not. Everton to sign Argentinian Primera top-scorer (previous holders of title include Zarate, Lisandro Lopez, Saviola...) Denis Stracqualursi from either Gimnasia or Tigre (not entirely sure) says BBC Chief Football Writer Phil McNulty and the Torygraph's Merseyside reporter Rory Smith though Greg O'Keeffe seems to think it's dependent on one of the above moving.

Signing on loan from Tigre apparently according to BBC Chief Football Writer Phil McNulty. More from Dominic King later apparently.

Well, it's sometimes me and sometimes Louis. We both tweet from that account. You can tell when it's me tweeting because it's usually some manner of hilarious quip.

Not entirely bollocks. The customer isn't always right, true. But when you have the choice simply to delete their email rather than damage your own personal reputation and that of your employer then you simply delete the bloody email and go back to work. Ian Ross is a very well paid PR/Communications professional. He should act like one.

The sort of boss that expects a Head of Communications to communicate to fans in a professional manner? Everton is an international brand with a turnover of £80m and over £100m in assets. I don't agree with many of the Blue Union's positions but c'mon, it's clear that professionalism is VERY much lacking at Everton.

That sounded more than a little sinister, mate!

Sporting could well be paying us....

My birthday was in June. You all said happy birthday. How dare you all forget

However, at least the BU are usually consistent and coherent. Which is not something that can be said about Everton's communications department.

I think Mark Rowan's argument was that the BU report was so directly taken from the meeting that it was almost verbatim whereas they expected BU to give a far more general overview of the discussion while BU view Mark Rowan's email as an admission that the meeting's contents were to be public and that any assumption of the content of the BU report was a mistake on the club's part. If I'm reading that correctly, that is.

I read it as the club wanted it in their own words, whereas they posted more of a transcript?
