Matt Posted January 29, 2013 Report Share Posted January 29, 2013 Confirmed by Greg O'Keeffe and the BBC's David Ornstein. There was a Q & A with O'Keefe today on the echo page and he seemed to think we were v.close to getting M'Vila until the Russians came in. Cheers guys, I stand corrected.

duncanmckenzieismagic Posted January 29, 2013 Report Share Posted January 29, 2013 Greg O'Keeffe@GregOK #EFC bid to sign Leroy Fer is hanging in the balance after medical reveals knee problems.

mcirony Posted January 29, 2013 Report Share Posted January 29, 2013 I think the chairman of Twente will deny the medical problems because if Everton don't sign him, he won't want other clubs thinking he's crocked. That would just be bad business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted January 29, 2013 Report Share Posted January 29, 2013 Says that Everton might go for other targets, would be harder to get a good deal now wouldnt it? With reported figures of how much we were thinking of paying for Fer? Mind you, also says were trying to push the deal through.... Damn journalists!!!

mcirony Posted January 29, 2013 Report Share Posted January 29, 2013 I don't think we'll know anything til we hear something from the club. Other than the chairman of Twente there hasn't been any other real sources, and to be honest I think it's just brinksmanship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lowensda Posted January 29, 2013 Report Share Posted January 29, 2013 He had a knee problem, came back stronger. Mirallas had no knee problems, came to Everton, can't stay off the bloody physio's table. Anyone smell the Ofoe bull? How many times can Everton truely fuck up a transfer? There's got to be at least one every window and they make themselves look worse, by announcing it. Idiots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duncanmckenzieismagic Posted January 29, 2013 Report Share Posted January 29, 2013 Greg O'Keeffe@GregOK Further on Leroy Fer. #EFC still willing to agree on £8.6m deal in principle but due to knee issue want chunk to be based on appearances Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zoo Posted January 29, 2013 Report Share Posted January 29, 2013 (edited) I think that Twente will be forced to sell because Fer wants to come to us so much. His agent will want to push through with the deal because he will get some money out of it and I really think that because Twente have replacements lined up they'll give in to the players demands and let him leave. I'm just as nervous as the rest of the people on here but I really do think that he's going to come. Edit: I think that J was getting at the fact that we announce transfers when we don't know the full story about the player (i.e. - Fer's reported knee problem).

Edit: I think that J was getting at the fact that we announce transfers when we don't know the full story about the player (i.e. - Fer's reported knee problem). Their replacements aren't really lined up though. Heerenveen's chairman reportedly won't settle for anything less than £5,5m for Djuricic and has confirmed he's turned down an offer from Twente today and has said he doesn't think it's likely Djuricic will leave in january as they can really use them in their relegation struggle.

Zoo Posted January 29, 2013 Report Share Posted January 29, 2013 With the money they get for Fer they could line up a deal for Djuricic. Plus the player himself would probably push through a deal (as it's a lot more exciting fighting for the league with Twente then in a relegation battle).

Blue 250 Posted January 29, 2013 Report Share Posted January 29, 2013 Wasn't there a problem with Lescotts Knees? Sometime you just have to take a risk. If Moyes can get some kind of staggered payments it would be good for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bainaar Posted January 29, 2013 Report Share Posted January 29, 2013 In some way all rumours on here have some truth he passed his medical although it showed signs that there maybe a recurring knee problem hence why everton wanted to renegotiate the instalments on payments with some of it to be payed when he makes a certain number of appearances nothing sinister about it sounds like twente are the sinister ones in this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunc, Zoo summed it up for me! It's not that I'm blaming the club for the (potentional) failing of a signing, it's that we announce deals etc, before we know the true extent of what's happening. We were pretty much told Odidija was signed, then there were issues. We were told Fernandes was signed, attended a game and pissed off to Valencia. We were told a deal was on place for Moutinho...didn't happen. And this one Is the same, "Deal agreed with Twente for Leroy Fer", having medical, everything's good....oh. Wait. Hang on. No it's not. More frustration at the announcements. Zoo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve_E Posted January 29, 2013 Report Share Posted January 29, 2013 I think we shouldn't have got the fans excited by announcing it before everything was official. But I agree we shouldn't just ignore the results of the medical. He might well be able to play as if nothing's wrong, I remember Stoke passing on Ba because their medical showed knee problems as well, but I just wouldn't take the chance. Turn to someone else. Twente are the ones who're really fucked here. Now they have a disillusioned player on their hands who might injure himself pretty seriously in the next couple of years.

Twente are the ones who're really fucked here. Now they have a disillusioned player on their hands who might injure himself pretty seriously in the next couple of years. I think we need to know the extent of the knee problem before we can say whether we would take a chance on it or not. If there is a chance that he might fuck it up in 2-3 years then I'd say take a chance on him but if it turns out that when he jogs little green goo leaks out of him then I'd say leave him at Twente. The fact is we don't know as supporters how bad this knee is so we can't start kicking off at each other as to whether we should sign him or not.

Bainaar Posted January 29, 2013 Report Share Posted January 29, 2013 Well there isn't really hiding things when it gets to the stage to they're coming over to complete a medical would have been good if we could have kept the quoted figures and how much we have to pay away from the press and perhaps not announce the deal so certainly when thinking its bit quite a done deal chicagoblue 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
