adamsmith69 Posted April 21, 2006 Report Share Posted April 21, 2006 Does anybody know if it is true we are going to lodge a 4 mill offer at the end of the season for him. would be a great signing in my opinion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat Posted April 21, 2006 Report Share Posted April 21, 2006 We dont have 4 mill to Gamble akin mate...sad but true. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob W Posted April 21, 2006 Report Share Posted April 21, 2006 maybe they would take a part exchange..naysmith, killa? CJ does seem like a good prospect, maybe a darren bent scenario with a bit of luck. i dont think he should be THE signing for attack though, him and another like AJ to go with beats would be a good force Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Posted April 21, 2006 Report Share Posted April 21, 2006 The only people who know for sure if we are going to offer for him is DM and BK However if you look last season to all the people we were linked with and going to offer for and how many of them signed or were confirmed targets then maybe that will answer the question Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamsmith69 Posted April 21, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2006 very true adam, hope we do sign him though, and how much have we to spend i have heard 7 mill. agreed 4 mill for cj might be abit much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevO Posted April 21, 2006 Report Share Posted April 21, 2006 wouldnt pay more than £2.5m for CJ, but if we pay £4m and he bags loads of goals ill happily eat humble pie! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L_Blue Posted April 21, 2006 Report Share Posted April 21, 2006 To be fair we need a decent striker and what strikers do you know who would be available for under 4m there is always Paul Dickov Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevO Posted April 21, 2006 Report Share Posted April 21, 2006 there is no PROVEN strikers under that fee, not below 30 anyway. i never understood why we didnt get Kevin Phillips when we got BT, would have only been £500,000 more, and we would have had a ready made partnership for a year or two Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CraccerC Posted April 23, 2006 Report Share Posted April 23, 2006 hope so....be a good buy i think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EVA Posted April 25, 2006 Report Share Posted April 25, 2006 Sheffield United boss Neil Warnock is ready to trump his new Premiership rivals in landing Cardiff City striker Cameron Jerome. The Blades boss failed with a ?.5m bid for the 19-year-old star in the January transfer window. But now the Bluebirds have admitted defeat in their battle to keep Jerome. They are now prepared to sell the 20-goal hotshot to cut debts as they attempt to move into a new stadium. Everton, Charlton and Fulham have all watched Jerome but Premiership-bound Blades are the only ones to make a firm bid. The ex-Middlesbrough trainee also came close to joining Norwich in January but now looks certain to complete a dream move to the top-flight. Quoted from http://www.tribalfootball.com/april/englinews2250406.html WHY HAVN'T WE MADE A BID?? IF WE CAN'T HAVE HIM, I HOPE HE WILL NOT BE THE NEXT DARREN BENT OR ASHTON.

Adam Posted April 25, 2006 Report Share Posted April 25, 2006 Can't beleive this. You watch it come back and hit us in the face when we try to sign him in a couple of years for 3 times that amount Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EVA Posted April 25, 2006 Report Share Posted April 25, 2006 COMPARE Bellamy:- GS: Games started, 20 SB: Used as substitute, 5 G: Goals, 13 A: Assists, 2 SH: Shots, 50 SG: Shots on goal, 33 YC: Yellow Cards, 4 RC: Red Cards, 0 FC: Fouls Commited, 16 FS: Fouls Suffered, 32 Cameron Jerome:- GS: Games started, 46 SB: Used as substitute, 0 G: Goals, 20 A: Assists, 3 SH: Shots, 113 SG: Shots on goal, 58 YC: Yellow Cards, 7 RC: Red Cards, 0 FC: Fouls Commited, 95 FS: Fouls Suffered, 47 Goal Ratio: 13/20 = 0.65 per match for Bellamy; 20/46 = 0.43 per match Goal:Shots Ratio: 13/50 = 1 goal per 3.84 shots for Bellamy; 20/113 = 1 goal per 5.65 shots for Jerome. I think for 3.5M for Bellamy last season, and 4M for Jerome this season, I do prefer Bellamy as the stat are all better and such stat are from the Premiership level, unlike Jerome. 4M for Jerome could be a risk on second thought.

Bill Posted April 25, 2006 Report Share Posted April 25, 2006 Davey just wont take chances, you can tell that by his team selections, why the f#ck did he put Duncan in the squad last week. Middle of the road Davey, dithering Davey, call him what you like, but cant see him taking us any further. Both of the young keepers should have been played by now to see what we've got, he's probably lost Ferrari by now, so we are stuck with the oldest centre halfs in the premier, and Darren Bent, Ashton and Bellamy have all been missed when he had the opportunity to get them. Dont expect any decent players to come here in the summer, it will be another season of struggling with the squad we have, and we will look back at all the missed opportunies.

Adam Posted April 25, 2006 Report Share Posted April 25, 2006 Thought Bellemy cost £6m not 3.5. CJ is only about 20 and Bellers is about 27 so take into account as well that if CJ does well you can get the money back plus more but Bell will start losing value soon.

Bill Posted April 25, 2006 Report Share Posted April 25, 2006 Yeah, because i keep hearing these stories about Davey in the transfer market. We all knew Ashton was going to be a good player from back when he was a 17 year old, along with Hulse they slaughtered Evertons Defence when we played them in the Cup, AND HE WAS HANGIN ABOUT ON OUR DOORSTEP FOR LONG ENOUGH, COULD HAVE PICKED HIM UP FOR A MILLION. Then the Bellamy fiasco...... Newcs Chairman and Kenwright had agreed a fee and Bellany came to the club to sign, Davey called him into his office because he hadnt had the chance to speak to him yet.........five minutes later Bellamy leaves saying he didnt want to play for him. Then i got it from a good source that when Joe royle knew that he couldnt stop Darren Bent from leaving, he rang Davey and offered him to Everton saying he would be good for the Team, and Davey told Joe that he no longer has anything to do with Everton and as he put it......" i decide what players i want at this Club, not you. so off he went to Charlton £3. Thats the sort on man we have in Charge here, so dont expect too much and you wont be Disappointed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Posted April 25, 2006 Report Share Posted April 25, 2006 Not doubting anything you say TL but if even half those rumours are true then we are in serious trouble Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Posted April 25, 2006 Report Share Posted April 25, 2006 (edited) Theres been more tales of woe, thats just some of them. Davey cant handle Big players, we will always have his type of player at this club, middle of the road footballers, they are workhorses first, which is good, but not at the expense of quality football, which leads me onto Yobo, Arteta, Valente, and Ferrari............Dont be surprised if we do not start without at least two of these players next season, maybe all. Ask youself how often do you come away from the ground saying that was a joy to watch, and enthusing about the football we played. You can count the times on one hand over the last four years.

GoldfishMemory Posted April 25, 2006 Report Share Posted April 25, 2006 Again licker i know where your coming from but the last 2 years i have left the ground smiling ear to ear more than i did during my previous 10 years with a season ticket!

Pat Posted April 27, 2006 Report Share Posted April 27, 2006 Thats arguable Cracccer, I personally hated the Dogs of War. Very Un Everton. However the 10-15 yrs since have been un Everton as well...Or perhaps an old fool is deluded & this is infact what Everton now is? School Of Science, Mersey millionaires, Nil satis...Perhaps now, but fading symbols of what this institution ONCE stood for? Sad, but time waits for no man.
