efc1111 Posted July 27, 2013 Report Share Posted July 27, 2013 We've been mentioned as having interest in the above, possilbly on loan. He's a 29-year-old CM for Real Zaragoza, who were relegated last year and he's apparently looking to move. Described as a 5ft 8ins hard-working playmaker and he scored nine goals in 32 games last season. http://www.eyefootball.com/news/14711/Everton-make-loan-offer-for-Zaragoza-midfielder-Apono.html There are also a few reports on Spanish sites linking us with him as far back as mid-June, e.g: http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=es&u=http://www.fichajes.com/breves/apono-como-recambio-de-marouane-fellaini_59304&prev=/search%3Fq%3Dapono%2Beverton%26rlz%3D1C1GGGE___IM515IM515%26biw%3D1600%26bih%3D805 http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=es&u=http://www.todomercadoweb.es/mercado-futbolistico/exclusiva-tmw-el-everton-pretende-el-fichaje-de-apono-47393&prev=/search%3Fq%3Dapono%2Beverton%26rlz%3D1C1GGGE___IM515IM515%26biw%3D1600%26bih%3D805 This one suggests a transfer fee of 1.2m: http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=es&u=http://news-futbol.blogspot.com/2013/06/el-everton-quiere-el-fichaje-de-apono.html&prev=/search%3Fq%3Dapono%2Beverton%26rlz%3D1C1GGGE___IM515IM515%26biw%3D1600%26bih%3D805 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cake Posted July 27, 2013 Report Share Posted July 27, 2013 Get him in. Get them all in. If age is good enough for Chelsea it's good enough for us. Nice to have something to choose from, for a change, and at only £1.2m it's worth a gamble. He might turn out to be a midfielding Michu.

Steve_E Posted July 27, 2013 Report Share Posted July 27, 2013 His age wouldn't really matter if it was a loan though so that could work out positively. I'd be hesitant to offer another player who's turning 30 a multi year deal on a permanent transfer though. Apparently he played an impressive 8.9 accurate long balls per game last season (285 accurate from 387 attempted) so he might be a suitable backup for Gibson on loan as a playmaker in front of the defense.

StevO Posted July 27, 2013 Report Share Posted July 27, 2013 He plays great long balls, translates to Roberto is not interested. Quinn31 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StevO Posted July 28, 2013 Report Share Posted July 28, 2013 Gibson doesn't count, he was already here. And he's bloody brilliant! ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
