c1982 Posted August 18, 2008 Report Share Posted August 18, 2008 Quote Arteta, "I'm sure some signings will happen this week. When it happens, it's going to be big." This sounds like a moutinho type player to me - maybe even joao moutinho! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Everton_Worshiper Posted August 18, 2008 Report Share Posted August 18, 2008 fingers are still crossed, he would attract other top players too. but i cant see him fancying us after all the trouble at the club lately, and the well documented tiny squad what do you mean by trouble? to me trouble is club going into administration, player revolt, manager leaving etc trouble in most fans eyes is not meeting expectations from finishing 5th etc I cannot see why a player, in this case Moutinho, would see Everton as in "trouble".

chris1eng Posted August 18, 2008 Report Share Posted August 18, 2008 (edited) If we sign one player this window lets make it Joao, i know we need a def mid but this little guy could attract bigger names.

Sporting4ever Posted August 18, 2008 Report Share Posted August 18, 2008 It was just reported again on SSN, but this time it was properly mentioned, not just reading from the Daily Mail which they did this morning. Just saying that apparently Sporting had lowered there valuation of Joao, lowering from 22m to around 17m. To be honest if they are willing to lower there price then it really shows that they are willing to sell. I still have a very small glimmer of hope for this one, very small glimmer of hope though mind!!! Hi, guys. Haven't written in a few days, tough break on the weekend, even with all the problems, you had really bad luck to come away with no points. Anyways, news from here, regarding this issue, i haven't heard ntthing in our media about lowering the value. Haven't read anything about a delegation arriving either, but, who know, maybe they have. BUT, atm, João is with the National Squad, and he's playing on our friendly with Faroe islands midweek. Also, since we took our version of the charity this weekend, 2-0 vs Porto, moral is pretty high atm, and i still think that to take him you'll most likely have to match the release clause, so unless they're prepared for that, they're going back empty handed.

Sporting4ever Posted August 18, 2008 Report Share Posted August 18, 2008 (edited) depends on what moyes has planned. if he wants to save the season and play for mid-table or uefa spot, he'll loose the big signings and go for quantity instead of quality. i think it's pretty easy to find players out there for loan or for close to no cost that can fill in gaps and keep EFC above the line easily. players like tiago, hugo viana etc, who don't fit into their current teams plans and could easily fill in the gaps in midfield you guys have, and they'd cost virtually nothing to sign. IF, however, he wants to aim higher, he'll need quality, and quality costs. The longer it takes, the more it's gonna cost, since it's no secret atm that EFC are in dire need of fresh blood. if he goes for quality, i sincerily doubt it's possible to sign 3 or 4, much less the 6 or 7 he mentioned he needs, so i see a very tough choice for moyes. for ex, imagine you go for quality, and sign 3 top players, moutinho, m'bia and love (note this is an example, i know love's deal is pretty much dead). if you get another major injury, like the one you have now, you'll be short again, and strugling again. if you go for numbers you can compensate. In all fairness, from JM's performances the previous season, he's an extraordinarily regular player. lsat season he didn't miss a single club game. that means no injuries, major or minor, no misses due to red or yellow cards, and i never saw him play badly. not always good or brilliant, but never badly. That boy is the definition of regularity, and, looking at both our squads atm, you definitly need him more than us. but like i said a few days ago, i doubt we'll give freebies...

Raccyboy Posted August 18, 2008 Report Share Posted August 18, 2008 a very good sensible post - I agree, forget about this guy, we can't be spending 17mil + on a single player particularly not one who may or may not be worth the price. let's get a couple of of cheaper signings and loans and bulk up the squad.

Sporting4ever Posted August 18, 2008 Report Share Posted August 18, 2008 I'm still waiting to see EFC paying the 25 million euro. Until they do, I'm pretty sure he'll be staying with us. well, we do have plenty of mid-field solutions this year, and we'd get a replacement fast enough, i believe Soares Franco has something already lined up in case they do. I think a bit like you do, but i don't discount the possibility that they will in fact pay it. They need him alot, at the moment. i hope he stays, i really want us to make a strong start this year, seeing as we play pretty much everyone in the 1st 6 weeks. I honestly think this is the best squad yet to challenge porto, and i'm sick of those tripeiros winning every fking year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's worth the money, as sporting fan will agree with. What's the point of getting cheaper signings if they don't improve the squad, Joao should be a priority, even if he's the only one.

Sporting4ever Posted August 20, 2008 Report Share Posted August 20, 2008 i've looked around the portuguese papers' sites, and the only thing i saw was that "A Bola" news that Everton gave up on him. Seeing has they're benfica-sided paper, i tend to think it's true, and this may indeed be over. there's a translated link in the other topic, on a post by storm. jamie said there we're opposing reports in our press, but i couldn't find none.

I'm bored of this story now, just want it resolved, either way Didn't spot that one. i really don't credit much on CM's hability to report news anyways, what they say is that EFC bid €19M (~£15M), but that SCP don't want to negociate with anything bellow €22M (~£17,4M). So it isn't a conflicting report, and it may be that EFC bid as much as they could, and we didn't take it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
