These were the interesting ones. Google translate, appologise for that, but dont have the time to translate for you.

 

> Nikica Jelavic from Rangers for Everton

Price: About 7 million pounds.

 

Comment: Everton have had a shortage of strikers in recent years and often had to play Tim Cahill and Marouane Fellaini as strikers. In Nikica Jelavic get the team a strong terminator described as a "slimmer version of Mark Viduka." It bodes well. Others are less convinced.

 

Importance to the team: Louis Saha out - Nikica Jelavic up. Saha is an awesome player when he is great, but because it is far too often, just hope that David Moyes get more use out of Jelavic. Everton have long needed a reliable scorer - Jelavic can be the solution?

 

Possible starting eleven with Nikica Jelavic: Howard - Hibbert, Jagielka, Distin, Baines - Donovan, Neville, Fellaini, Pienaar - Cahill - Jelavic.

 

Transfer rating (where we take into account the player's capabilities, potential, the team's needs and price tag): 2 / 5. (two out of five)

 

> Steven Pienaar, from Tottenham to Everton (loan)

Price: -.

 

Comment: Pienaar gave Everton for Tottenham last year but have not succeeded at White Hart Lane. He has played sparingly, but everyone remembers how sharp he was at Goodison Park before the transfer.

 

Importance to the team: Everton have lacked creativity in midfield then Pienaar and Mikel Arteta disappeared. There will Pienaar and short-term loan Landon Donovan to bring a lot to come.

 

Possible line-up with Steven Pienaar: Howard - Hibbert, Jagielka, Distin, Baines - Donovan, Neville, Fellaini, Pienaar - Cahill - Jelavic.

 

Transfer rating: 4 / 5.

 

> Louis Saha from Everton for Tottenham

Price: Unknown.

 

Commentary: Harry Redknapp knew he had to find a new backup striker when Roman Pavljutjenko asked for a move to the Championship. Few believed that the choice would fall on Louis Saha, who turns 34 years this year. The former Manchester United player was dumped by Sir Alex because of his ability to always get hurt and have had the same problem in Everton.

 

Importance to the team: Saha will act back behind Emmanuel Adebayor and as such he can function better. He does not play every game and can focus on being great and fit in selected fights. As a player, he is like Adebayor as he is both strong as the target and the depth players.

 

Possible line-up with Louis Saha: Friedel - Walker, King, Kaboul, Assou-Ekotto - Lennon, Modric, Parker, Bale - van der Vaart - Saha.

 

Transfer rating: 2 / 5.
