Bill Posted August 15, 2007 Report Share Posted August 15, 2007 Its very Complex, we dont want another Tevez mess with our Club. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zequist Posted August 15, 2007 Report Share Posted August 15, 2007 This is also a bit more complicated than your ordinary run-of-the-mill transfer since MSI owns half of Manny. Besides whatever dealings we have to make with them and with Benfica we'll also have to run the entire deal past the FA to make sure that the terms are acceptable and we're in compliance with all of the rules - the last thing anyone at the club wants is to get embroiled in another Tevez situation. None of that should be a problem, but it may take a while to dot all the i's and cross all the t's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Posted August 15, 2007 Report Share Posted August 15, 2007 At the end of the day we have until Friday midday for him to be allowed to be included in the squad for the weekend game against Reading I beleive. Hope its before then but if thats when it is thats when it is. Maybe its all completed but waiting for another signing to be completed.

duncanmckenzieismagic Posted August 16, 2007 Report Share Posted August 16, 2007 Dont want to count my chickens and all that but just read this in this mornings Daily Post Imminent arrival Manuel Fernandes is unlikely to be in the squad to face Reading as he hasn’t trained this week since leaving Benfica’s squad in the build-up to their Champions League tie – but Everton will look to push his transfer through before the weekend.

RuffRob Posted August 16, 2007 Report Share Posted August 16, 2007 To be honest considering how the team are performing - we are not desperate for any deal to go through by the weekend - its not like he will be in Saturdays team or bench. As long as the deal is done nefore August 31st, thats the main thing. Considering that it looks like we have a couple of big signings coming in this next few weeks, none of our new already new signings have any real contribution and we are top of the league with maximum points after two game - It's a nice feeling being an Everton fan at the moment. (OK very early days, but have to make the most of it - I could be a Spurs fan!!! ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamiemaher85 Posted August 16, 2007 Report Share Posted August 16, 2007 Looks like Benfica are already in the market to replace manny, according to SSN they are looking at Rochemback to replace him. Even has comments from their president- looks like this is almost definatley going through. DOn't want to get to excited though. anything could happen. No doubt the Kopites will try and nick him.

Jay Bernard Posted August 16, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2007 He can have any number he wants as long as its not taken of course. If we can get him in for the Reading game it will be for a change, a quite efficient transfer process. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam Posted August 17, 2007 Report Share Posted August 17, 2007 From DM mouth http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,11095_2666873,00.html He is now close to a permanent move from Benfica, with Everton boss David Moyes confirming the deal is in place. "Manuel had the first part of his medical yesterday and that will be completed today," said Moyes. "I would then expect him to become an Everton player within the next 24 hours."

Adam Posted August 17, 2007 Report Share Posted August 17, 2007 If they beat Reading I would expect DM to stick with the same side and not even include Baines in the starting 11. Don't change a winning team unless you have to Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevO Posted August 17, 2007 Report Share Posted August 17, 2007 Stick with the winning team, but just think that winning team doesnt include; cahill, vaughan, jags, baines or manny! im getting excited big time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RuffRob Posted August 17, 2007 Report Share Posted August 17, 2007 I am not for squad rotation to be honest - if your winning only make changes as they are needed - suspensions, injuries. These will start cropping up soon enough and everybody will get there chance. I am sure new signings can't complain to much after two games if those on the pitch are getting the results. Also mean's that with sub, appearences they are eased in to the Everton playing style. Doesn't do the new midfeilders any harm watching the movment of the front players.

robin.jones Posted August 17, 2007 Report Share Posted August 17, 2007 http://www.football365.com/story/0,17033,8...2666826,00.html I guess most websites are at this stage. I am not worried about only owning half as but prem rules we have to get the say when he is sold. and to be honest I think he will be here for 5 years. Is it just me or is this turing into the best side we have had since the 80's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
