Let the rumors begin From an Everton ITK... Klose's agent has met Everton officials twice in the past week.
SMH. I don't know what he has left in the tank. Saha always gets hurt and Beckford is still a relative unknown. Yak isn't doing himself too many favors getting benched (except for scoring coming off the bench). That 5mil or so for Distin looks amazing right now. Heitinga might go this summer. We gotta keep Rodwell. Baines is our "playmaker". Gosling can thank his agent for limiting him to 1 game this season (and also injuries as well). Arteta doesn't look like the Arteta of old. Maybe it's the injury. Our team seems so brittle. Fellaini gets injured often as well. He was doing pretty well two years ago when he was in that holding midfield role. Ever(ton) Banega.
Klose is a free transfer, but he's supposedly on 140K pounds a week at Bayern. To be fair though, he signed that contract after tearing it up with Werder at age 28. I think Klose is just a player who is desperate to play. He is world class at what he does IMHO and is just the player we need with our limited transfer resources so long as he reduces his wage demands to around 60K a week. (which is a lot to ask, but for a player who wants to play week in week out might be just enough to get him in)
Yak, Vaughn and Yobo will be gone for sure this summer along with a few others I imagine. If we got Klose (doubt we will) I would be happy. I am happy with Moyes ability to identity talent. Guaye and Vellios are both good looking young players. I realize our financial restraints so if we can get cheap young talent then I hope he finds some good players who can eventually be first teamers.
Vaughan is going to Norwich City for £2.5 million. Klose is the type of player that would go to Spurs. Moyes will have £15 million to spend.... And from what I've heared so far.... (most of which is pure speculation) OUT: Yakubu > Leicester City > £2 million Yobo > Fenebache > £4 million Heitinga > some foreign club > £6 million Jack Rodwell > Man Utd > £15 million Leighton Baines > Man City > £15 million + Wayne Bridge ----------------------------------------- IN: Jay Bothroyd < Cardiff City < free transfer DJ Campbell < Blackpool < £750,000 Jonathan Reis < PSV < free transfer Demba Ba < West Ham < free transfer Guy Moussi < Nottm Forest < free transfer Scott Dann < Birmingham City < £4 million Souleymane Bamba < Leicester City < £2.8 million Reo Coker < West Ham < £10 million Eljero Elia < Hamburg < loan (although he most probably will go to Liverpool)
It seems every week Jack Rodwell is linked to Man Utd in at least one British tabloid newspaper. If you thought £15 million was high. Well it used to be £25 million. But it's gone down £1 million for every game Rodwell has played.
No thanks to selling Rodwell or Baines. 2.5 to pay off debts. We're still in the red. We need to sell Yobo and another person to make up for the debts we collected this season. We must offload Arteta. His salary is just too high. Yak, Yobo, Arteta, Vaughn Heitinga out.
I don't think Rodwell or Baines goes. Maybe Rodwell but Baines will be staying. DJ Campbell in? Same player as Beckford. I don't think we would want to do that. Reo Coker was cut by Villa so why would we pay West Ham 10 milll to West Ham (I could be wrong I don't think he was on loan at Villa). Plus 10 million for Reo is to much anyways.
I agree. But all those links have been reported in the media. Which goes to show how crap the media is. Reo Coker has just been released by Villa.
I am not a Jay Bothroyd fan. I will be honest and say I have only seen him play a handful of times but not overly impressed. Combine that with his age (29) and I would us rather look at other options.
Almost nothing about Everton in the last 2 weeks here ... one thing that has been completed, Eric Dier's staying with Everton. Yobo might be off to Fenerbahce soon for 4m GBP fee. And Jay Bothroyd might be heading in, ex-Cardiff City striker. All news here.
Yobo's transfer might be in jeopardy because Fenerbahce's boss has been accused of match-fixing. Plus Everton are holding out for 5 million.
Everton might make a bid for Every youth player on free transfer. but Nzogbia costs money so therefore, there is absolutely no truth to the rumor!! (i hope i am wrong)
It had appeared on Sky Sports. I doubt it's true. Elstone was denying it. Even if it were true Everton can't match a bid from AV. http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,11661_7038652,00.html
So Eric Dier is back and that's about all the Transfer speculation there is. May he waste among the ranks like all the other 'prospects' we've accumulated but never play. Never fear though, we might be making a loan deal for Nicklas Bendtner!
