i hope no one has koldrups name on the back of their shirt!!

it doesnt say anything on the fiorentina official site about it! or the Everton one?

the only refernece i can see about it is in italian?

no please no

from that list id take Johnson or nugent. buy young i say. what we really need to do is buy someone quality rather than just a stop gap. i dont think hasslebaink is the answer, too old. with a decent quick striker up there with BT we could have a half decent team!

it also says at the bottom of the petrov bit that wigan are set to sign david thompson from blackburn for a cut price £250k. didnt we try to buy him for £3m in the summer!? surely if he is available for 1/12th of that now it would make sense to nab him!?

i think ferrari should show a bit of loyalty to the club thats paying him his wages (us) espec as hes been sitting on his arse collecting them for most of the time he has been here. u have mido of spurs saying he dosent want to rturn to roma and ferrair saying he does, shows the difference in attration between us and spurs doesnt it. i wonder if ferrrai would still want to return if arsenal or man utd wanted him?

'Darlington have dipped into the transfer market to sign Everton's Paul Hopkins.

The young striker has been earmarked as having a bright future at Goodison Park, and Quakers boss Dave Hodgson will be hoping that he can replicate the form which saw him net 15 goals in 24 games for the Everton Under-18s.

Hopkins's potential is further underlined by the fact that he holds the Liverpool schoolboys' record for the most consecutive hat-tricks, hammering six-in-a-row and doubling the previous record set by Anfield legend Robbie Fowler.

Hodgson is understood to have tracked the 19-year-old for some time before finally swooping, although it is unlikely that The Toffees would allow the switch to become permanent.'

THIS IS THE FIRST IVE HEARD ABOUT THE KID, SOUNDS LIKE HE HAS GREAT POTENTIAL. IF HES 19 SURELY HE MUST BE NEAR THE FIRST TEAM ALREADY?

i read in the mirror this morning that marcu bent might go sampdoria for £3m (snap their hands off time) and we will put that toward Ashton.

As you say though, they just link us with anyone and everyone

now we can add charlton to the list!

not really a rumour but more a thought,

I read last night that Rangers have bought him from KIllie for 1/2m. The guy is top scorer in the Scottish league playing for an average team, for half a mil i would say he would be worth a gamble, could turn out to be a v good player

my best mate is a qpr fan and i have seen shittu in action numerous times. hes an absolute mountain of a man, heavy weight boxer style, heskey but bigger.

he seems to be pretty accomplished at the back most of the time and scores a few goals too from corners but he is liable to the odd fuck up, and usuallly big fuck ups at that. when middlesboro were linked with him last season i thought that i was glad it wasnt Everton. he reminds me of titus bramble.

not what we are looking for in my opinion.

theyve done a lot of travelling too coming back from portugal, our lot should be nicley rested and well up for the game, could be 5 wins in 6!

also with van the man out and the general dejected feeling going all around old trafford it could just be time to pull one out of the hat

12/1 on an Everton win anyone!

I would be happy with all 3 options but I have voted for Keano because I have always thought he is class and would be overjoyed at having him and Beats as our partnership. (Beats and AJ is pretty tasty too)

i read van the man is suspended too and that Saha will have his chance against us. saha and rooney isnt exactly the weakest partnership ever. I think it will either be 1-1 or 0-3, depends if we can keep it tight until half time.

did no one notice that crouch was a mile offside for the 2nd goal. The first one was an own goal too. im sorry but as far as im concerned he still hasnt scored a real goal!

1-0 to us i say!

beats with the goal

im wondering what keane, if he does sign will think of our players, if he managed to find something wrong with most at old trafford what will he make of our lot. i dont think it would be very productive to have him come in and tell mcfadden hes shit and beattie that he has man tits etc etc.

im not against signing keane but as most of u lot have said already, do we really need him?!

and to be replaced by goal machine kewell when ur team is drawing 0-0 and being the top scorer in the club.

seems funny to me, last season i didnt rate cisse at all but they insisted on playing him until he broke his leg, this season i think hes been their best forward by a mile and always a threat but they prefer to play crouch up there and morientes with cisse on the wing!

not that im complaining, seems beneathus is as bad as houiller was at team selection

I think that blues fans can appreciate yobos qualities and realise what a good player he is but i dont think he is widely regrded as a quality centre back throughout the league. i think he would only be worth £3m if we were to sell him but he is much more valuable to us than hard cash would be.

how can rooney even be suggested, do u not remember the inprovement to the team once he had left!

i would have to say henry or shevchenko, but i wouldnt say no to ronaldinho either

clapham is a left back, was pretty good a few yrs ago when ipswich were in the prem. everyone reckons upsons quality but ive never seen it myself but a swap with killa would be good business

i think they want to leave because the whole reason ppl visit this site is to discuss football not get into a slanging match with a wind up merchant who thinks it funny to just argue for the sake of it.

belive it or not we have had a fair few RS fans on here that have contributed to the conversation and not a single complaint has been made about them. in fact supporters from a lot of teams have come on usually before we play them and have disscused general topics.

its just dickheads that ppl dont like

i think he has up to 10m to spend if he chooses to, Keane is meant to be coming (fingers crossed) and maybe a couple others. good thing about moyes is that he doesnt just spend for the sake of it, if the player is worth the money he will invest. i bet RS wish Houiller and Beneathus were as sensible instead of spending multil millions on second class trash!

the papers said today Chelasea may have aclear out, Geremi would be a good addition for us?! 3m maybe?

they should introduce end of season trophies for such things as...

biggest waste of money on a player. biggest girly haircut. team with most ignorant fans.

we really wouldnt be able to compete with RS's trophy haul then!

Adam, if only we could field 12 players!

I say 1-0 to us, 2nd half Beattie goal.

but Kato, u cant be the best team in europe as u readily admit that burnley are better then u. burnley arent the best team in europe cos they got beat by stoke, but then stoke got beat by rotherham...
