What is Arteta's current position as of now?- in that poll...?

Lol...thats a logical question....if you are in office, chances are your IP Is fixed (thats what we called Leased WAN IP)....if you are at home then your WAN IP is fixed for only a few days and after which you get a new IP. These WANIP are different from what you see at your system. Just visit http://dnsstuff.com and look at the top, it will show you your WAN IP..Now compare againts the IP shown in your system, if you are behinde a router, these two IPs will be different. Some websites remeber you not only by IP, but by cookies they sent into your Internet Explorer application.

WAN IP address will be permanent if u have a dedicated lease line. MOST ISP do not offer dedicated IP address for home users. And in office, you may see your IP change and in some you do not see it change, it all depends on the settings of the environment.But the IP you see in your office in your office computer is not what skysports see.Be cause the IP in your office computer or home computer may possibly be behinde a router and this would be a private IP, Very high change skysports server may be looking at public IP (WAN IP and not LAN IP)........ Anyway..so much for computer stuffs....who care...as long as Arteta wins! lol

...at times restarting your PC do not help if your IP address does not change at every restart. On normal circumstances, each IP (WAN) address have a lease period lasting average 3 days (means it changes once every three day). At times it is good to clear your internet temporary files and cookies and try to vote again (if skysports are not tracking you by your IP address.....)

Done...

The Official website carries an article as... Manuel Fernandes played as Portugal's under 21s drew 0-0 with Belgium on Sunday evening. The 21-year-old was on loan at Everton in the second part of last season. And he lined up for the Portuguese in an impressive looking midfield, with highly rated Sporting Lisbon man Joao Moutinho and new Man Utd star Nani also in the starting XI. Fernandes was involved early on, firing into the side netting before getting involved with a move that Sporting's Yannick Djalo blasted at the keeper. Both sides had chances to snatch a win as the game progressed, but in the end they had to settle with a point apiece. Portugal's next engagement is on Wednesday when they faces hosts the Netherlands.

Since they still carried an article of him (shows we are still interested in him), does that mean we have extended his loan? Bought him? Or does it just simply means his current loan deal is not expired and would expire in a month time? Your thoughts and views please?

Phew u did some homework didn't you? lol...Good argument...totally agree with you on that!

Congrats!! Fully deserved!!!

Boca Juniors want to keep midfielder Juan Roman Riquleme beyond his current stay, which finishes in June. The former Barcelona midfielder joined Boca on loan from Villarreal in February after clashing with boss Manuel Pellegrini. His fall from favour at the club came as a surprise to many after starring for the Yellow Submarines in their most successful period to date. But an indifferent World Cup was followed by an alleged change in attitude this season and the player - who was linked with a move to Manchester United two seasons ago - has been farmed out to the club where he made his name in the late 1990's. Boca vice president Pedro Pomplio wants to keep him, however, eyeing a permanent deal for the summer. "The signing (of Riquelme) is a possibility that we are considering and we will do everything in our power to realise this," Pompilio said, although conceded that the wages he is paid by Villarreal could be a stumbling block. "If Roman understands the economic situation, we will try to keep him and help him continue his career here," he continued. "From what we have seen already, it pains me to think that Riquelme could be packing his bags at the end of the Clausura." Source: http://cario.eurosport.fr/football/sport_sto1099568.shtml

Agreed!

Very nice Rumour...very pleasing to the ears and wonder if it would be pleasing to the eyes in future.....is there any nick to the source of this rumour or are we gonna have someone who says "BK is my friend...over a cup of coffee he told me that we are gonna get this player and that player and the other player!"???

Too late to make a difference now.....

The Good and the TrueBlue Blood? lol

Ho gowd!! den we need to invest in good scouts in the first place~! lol

hahaha...why not look into Europe itself and bring in some quality like how we brought in Arteta (European Players)?

Anytime i would say McFudge goal is better. Not just because i am an Evertonian but due to the fact that there are plenty of such long range goal throughout the season...but rarely we see a player who had created a goal with sublime technique like what fudge did eventhough it was near the dying seconds of the game...He did not blast the ball in but had the nerve to outsmart his opponent with that flick and completed with a fine finish....

Agreed...but at the same time when we wanna compete in Europe we also need some players who had European experiences...someone who has flair ..someone who can create something out of nothing.....phew! how we wish,,,,,lol...anyway was a good post pal

West Ham are ready to end their interest in Charlton's Darren Bent and instead make a £13million bid for Everton striker Andrew Johnson. Johnson only moved to Goodison Park from Crystal Palace last summer, but the Hammers will offer him £90,000-a-week in an attempt to lure him back to London, according to reports. Everton are expected to knock back any offer for the striker who scored 11 league goals last season, but West Ham are ready to go as high as £18million to get their man. The Irons put an £18million bid on the table for Addicks hitman Bent in January's transfer window, but had it rejected so Hammers boss Alan Curbishley has decided to focus on Johnson instead. Curbishley is expected to be a very busy man this summer as he attempts to overhaul a squad which only survived in the Premiership on the last day of the season. Scott Parker is expected to seal his move to Upton Park shortly while Carlos Tevez, Nigel Reo-Coker, Paul Konchesky, Matthew Etherington and Hayden Mullins are all ready to leave.

If the above article is true, will DM let Andy go for 18M? is that enough cash?...i hope we do not let him go any any price for now,,,,

He seems like a OK player to me...the only problem was in most occassions i had seen him cross the ball behinde the post for the ball boys rather than infront of it for players to knock it in!....Backup (Yes) , 1st 11? (No)

I am happy that Moyes decided not to pay over the moon. If Barton was paid too much, then automatcially the rest of Everton dedicated star players such as Arteta, cahill's pay to needs to be adjusted. This will bring the bill up. Thank god for the smart decline. We can get better player for cheaper payroll from the continent and hopefully not a trouble maker like Barton!

LOL...i would agree to your entire quotes except, i prefer someone better than Koumas.....

First lets pray what was written was true and DM is trying to get that fella...

Everton have had a series of ups and downs under manager David Moyes, but 2006/07 saw them heading in the right direction once more. The Toffeemen qualified for the UEFA Cup by finishing sixth in the Premiership, and will be hoping to make a better fist of it than on their last continental jaunt in the 2005/06 season. On that occasion, a fourth placed finish in the Premiership had ensured Champions League qualification for the first time under the competition’s current guise. Yet the dream ended early when the Merseysiders were put out at the qualifying stage by eventual semi-finalists Villarreal, before going on to get blown out of the UEFA Cup by Dinamo Bucharest after a staggering 5-1 defeat in Romania. The Everton class of 2006/07 was made of sterner stuff. Not even lengthy injuries to the talismanic Tim Cahill could stint their progress, and a top six finish was just reward for their efforts over the season. Cahill’s goals had been instrumental in Everton’s success in 2004/05, and it was thought by some that without the Australian the Goodison Park club would struggle to find the net. While not exactly lighting up the scoreboard on a regular basis, Everton’s return of 52 league goals from their 38 matches is the joint seventh best tally in the division. It is just one less than the figure achieved by Champions League qualifiers Arsenal, while only the revered top four have conceded fewer goals than Moyes’s men. Joleon Lescott has been a leading light in defence since joining from Wolverhampton Wanderers last summer, while Moyes has managed to get the best out of an ageing but committed Alan Stubbs alongside Lescott. The main reason for the upsurge in goal power has been the capture of Andy Johnson. The England striker joined the club from Crystal Palace in a £6.8million deal which many saw as a gamble. Johnson had earned rave reviews for his performances for Palace in their one season in the Premiership under Iain Dowie two years previously, but had been unspectacular in their subsequent and doomed attempt to bounce back after relegation. Utilised as a lone striker more often than not, Johnson has been a revelation and has offered a genuine and speedy goal threat. His return of 11 league goals may seem modest, but his nuisance value cannot be overstated as it has allowed others to get on the scoresheet also. Taking over from Cahill in the role of goalscoring midfielder has been Mikel Arteta. The former Rangers midfield man notched nine goals during the last campaign, and also proved a skilful and useful outlet in the middle of the park. The January acquisition of Manuel Fernandes on loan from Benfica proved shrewd also, while Phil Neville was again a model of consistency despite a spectacularly embarrassing own goal in a 4-2 home defeat to Manchester United. Others such as Leon Osman and James McFadden possess no shortage of ability, while youngsters Victor Anichebe and James Vaughan look set to bloom in time for next season. Having had no European football to distract them in 2006/07, Everton will be disappointed by their performances in the domestic cup competitions. They were thrashed 4-1 at home by Blackburn Rovers in the third round of the FA Cup in January, arguably the team’s worst performance of the season. In the Carling Cup, they could not get past Arsene Wenger’s second string Arsenal side in the fourth round in early November. The match saw McFadden dismissed by Graham Poll for foul and abusive language, before Emmanuel Adebayor popped up with the only goal five minutes from time. Moyes will have more on his plate next term if the side progress in Europe, but will surely look to do better in the cups given that Everton have not won a trophy since 1995. Season highs include a derby day spanking of Liverpool in September, when Johnson scored twice in a memorable 3-0 win at Goodison Park. Johnson also found the mark when Arsenal came to town in mid-March, a goal that was good enough to earn all three points against the Gunners. Home defeats by Tottenham Hotspur and Aston Villa will have disappointed Moyes, while no fewer than nine of their away assignments ended in draws. Converting those draws into wins would go a long way to making Everton a challenger for Champions League qualification next term. So, is a top four finish achievable once more in 2007/08? Moyes will know that he must build on his squad, and keep the nucleus together to drive the club on. He has started by tying midfield stopper Lee Carsley to the club for another year, fending off interest from Wigan Athletic. Anichebe and Vaughan are contracted until 2011, while Allesandro Pistone and Richard Wright have been released. Tim Howard’s move from Manchester United was made permanent well before the newly crowned champions refused permission for the American to play in their pivotal, Neville-inspired Goodison Park victory. With Cahill hopefully back to his best and injury free, the signs are that Everton can improve during the next campaign. All too often during the reign of Moyes, a good season has been followed by a miserable one, and the Scot needs to achieve consistency over a number of seasons to wipe away any doubts as to whether he is the man to return former glories to the blue half of Merseyside. He does not have the backing in the transfer market that will be afforded to the top four clubs, but if any club is in a position to break that particular cartel, it could well be Everton.
