Went to hartpury college with Waris and he has unbelievable technique! Pretty much scored a hat trick a game for the first team when we went to see him play.. Sound guy too!

EVERTON LATEST

Our man in Spain Andy West brings some bad news for Everton fans: "Can we rule out the possibility of Alvaro Negredo joining Everton? In Spain, El Desmarque are reporting that Sevilla have rejected a €14m bid - they don't have a replacement lined up and are focussed on preparing for their cup semi-final against Atletico Madrid tonight.

"And on Merseyside, the Liverpool Echo are quoting Negredo's agent Juanma Lopez, who says that the deal is "impossible." Looks like Everton have left it too late."

thats what i siad back up top, if Rooney went for £27m, Carroll £35m, Henderson £20m then Barkley has to be worth £30m

I totally agree with you on that. IMO Barkley has more potential than Henderson and a LOT more than Caroll.. So considering that we should be looking for at least 30 mil, maybe more. And considering Rooney, 18 at the time so still in the potential bracket, was sold in 2004 for 27 mil I'd say we deffinatly need to be looking around that mark. Espcially as transfer fees for world class and potential players have risen since then.

Joseph Yobo has agreed a 3 year deal with Fenerbache, fee is in the region of £2million #EFC

Worth more than 2mil!! But glad to get him off the wage bill, he clearly doesn't want to be here anymore and hopefully we can put the money towards a new winger or striker :/

What's up with Beckford?

 

I shake my head at Moyes sometimes.

I know what you mean. Beckford has quality movement on and off the ball and some real pace! I will admit that sometime it take him a shot or 5 to hit the next, but then again he's scored some absolute screamers!! I don't know why Moyes doesn't play him and Saha up top (when Louis' actually fit of course:P) they both feed off each other well and work great together, from when i've seen of them anyway.

lets face it, we're never going to be spending big money on a lightning quick winger who can pass, score and create goals... but in Krancjar we'll have someone who can do everything bar keep up with Usain Bolt! H's defiantly worth signing up for the season on loan and then look to buying in our own Messi at a future date

 

Based on computer game ability or real life?

Barrera based on his ability, he played pretty well in the word cup, i remember him running rings around Abidal when he came on, and awesome in the gold cup.. scoring 2 in the final against the US. Was quality in the Mexican Premiera before moving to West Ham where he flopped majorly. But he's definitely got the potential to be a star in the premiership, just hasn't really shown it yet. And Sears based in ability but mainly potential. He's got pace to burn and a good mate of mine from uni who's a Hammer trained with him in the academy as a youngster, reckons he has plenty of talent and scored bags of goals in the youth set up. I know that means nothing when it comes to stepping to the big time, but its better than not scoring Naturally play's behind the striker but can play out wide to. But lets face it, we have no chance of signing either of the two any way

I've just noticed Julien Faubert still at WHU - decent winger. I wonder if WHU were still interested in Yak and whether a swap could be done?

 

If we're as skint as it seems blatantly obvious to us all then these are the kind of deals that we should be trying to do!

I'd rather have Barrera or Sears over Faubert tbh.

I'd consider a swap deal for Pav, but I'd still want between 5/10mil or another player. Rodders is a player with huge potential at only 20, bearing in mind players don't hit their peak till around 24-26, and with Pav being 30 in December he'll only have another 3 maybe 4 years left at the top. He's got real quality though but isn't consistent enough IMO, but saying that he had a bad patch for Spurs and old Arry seemed to give up on him.

His stats from last season are : Season Club Played Goals YC RC 2010/11 Tottenham 29 (11) 9 3 0

Bearing in mind nearly half of his appearances were as a sub they're not bad, got 4 assists as well I think.

lennon for rodwell and yes..otherwise they can shit the cunt off for anythin

I'd deffo swap Rodders for Lennon!! Can't see old ball bag face going for that though

this has got to be some sort of joke? If this actually happens I think I'd loose all faith in Everton what so ever. I'd say Crouch is worth around 8-10mil and Rodders at least 20/25mil. And tbh I'd rather keep the Yak than bring in that lanky goon.

Lets face it we do need to be taken over, but not in that scale. If we were to get a 'City' style takeover, they bring in 5/6 players on 100k+ a week and then suddenly fuck off cus they've had enough we'll be in a whole heap of shit. IMO we need to be taken over, but by someone who actually has an interest in running Everton as a football club. Come in and sort out our finances, write our dept off and maybe a new stadium, but that's not at the top of our list of priorities tbf, and get us up back up there with the likes of manure and chelski. I believe we're not that far off, but we will never be a massive threat until we spend a little money. In the long term though a bigger stadium would be what we would need to bring in more revenue, increase the fan base etc.

We need to bring in a little more depth to the squad to cover injuries and fatigue, and obviously bring in a decent winger (or 2) and a striker. If we had a chairman there to give Moyes around 20/25 mil to spend each summer I think we would be a team to compete with. Tbh we probs wouldn't even need that every year, but it would be nice for Moyes to have the money there and bring in either future talent or a player(s) to strengthen the squad where he feels necessary.

According to Metro Arsenal are leading the chase for him.. but he's already said he doesn't want to move south didn't he?

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/gossip_and_transfers/default.stm

Two Premier League sides are reported to have contacted Newcastle about Joey Barton, and the midfielder is set to determine whether or not he can leave the club immediately on a free

Moyes was apparently supposed to be having talks with him yesterday so one of those clubs could have been us? But it looks like the toon might not even want to get rid of him now..

Barton believes he is good enough to play Champions League football.

Won't be coming here then unless he can wait

IT WONT HAPPEN!!!!!!!

agreed

would be over the moon if Moyes pulled that off!!

Sign him up! He has been a dick in the past but I think he's learned from his mistakes.. and lets face it, he was awesome last season!

I managed to see about 15 minuets of the Ireland - City game earlier and from what I saw he was playing pretty well. Played a really nice ball in behind the defence to set up Scapuzzi. And scored as well, but I didn't see the goal :/

 

Leicester, West Ham and Ipswich for me, Cardiff to come close again!!!

I can see Cardiff going up this season. Especially with Swansea going up they're going to want to prove there better if not just as good!

I'm not to sure if I'd really want him here.. Not as good as Louis on his day and IMO I'd say he's just as good as Becks can be. And if City are interested then there's not a hope in hells chance we could match they're offer.

I'd definitely take him on a free providing his wage demands weren't OTT!

I'd rather have N'zogbia permanently but as it looks like he's gone to Villa I'd defiantly take him on loan! And if Manchini doesn't see him featuring in his future plans then maybe Moyes can work out a loan to buy deal.

The only way we will sign N'Zogbia, (or anyone else) is if N'Zogbia stalls signing for Villa until early August as that is when we get the Premier Leauge money for next season. In the past we have used bridging loans to cover the gap in time from the start of the transfer window to premier leauge money comming through. I suspect given the clubs financial state (reducing over draft) and the reluctance of Greene and others on the board to lend money this is the reason. It wouldnt suprise me if N'Zogbia has been advised of this which is why he has gone on holiday and avoiding Villa as he wants to come here.

 

Alot of clubs are in the same position as us which is why there has been so little transfer activity (bar usual suspects) and which may explain why Yobo and the Yak are still here. I predict with absolutly no certainty which I guess makes it more of a well guess, that Yak and Yobo will go in early August and we will get N'Zogbia and maybe one other free transfer or lower leauge signing.

I do hope your predictions right, but I can't see him coming here now. And would the board even give any of the Premier League money to Moyes or would it just go straight to paying off some of our debt?

If we got enough money from Jagielka to get N'Zogbia and Onuoha I wouldn't be too disappointed to be honest.

I wouldn't either in all fairness, Onuoha is still young and has a lot of promise about him! Can play rb and lb as well.
