Player Valuation: £380m
This just made me laugh, they really havent got a clue about ANYTHING

BBC SPORT | Football | Premier League | January football sales

Everton
Budget: Virtually non-existent - sell to buy at best.

January previous: Manager David Moyes is a reluctant operator in the January transfer market. In 2008 he brought in Manuel Fernandes and Anthony Gardner on loan and took £2m youngster Dan Gosling from Plymouth, while Alan Stubbs and James McFadden left. Moyes did break the then club transfer record to spend £6m on James Beattie from Southampton in 2005 and took Mikel Arteta on loan from Real Sociedad but do not expect big buys this time around.

What they need: A striker - desperately. Yakubu is out for the season, James Vaughan will almost certainly not figure again this term and Louis Saha's injury record needs no introduction. A powerful midfield presence would help but expect Moyes to concentrate on his attack.


Who they might buy: Newcastle's Michael Owen has been linked but that can be dismissed if Everton's public cry of transfer poverty is a true reflection of their financial status. It seems CSKA Moscow's Wagner Love can be struck from the list on similar grounds but BBC Radio Merseyside's Mike Hughes adds: "There's a suggestion now that a loan could be a possibility with Love. Mamadou Niang is a player with great potential and would fit the bill but Marseille may be less agreeable to a loan move. I think the favoured candidate is Huyton-born Portsmouth striker David Nugent. He certainly hasn't set the Premier League alight as yet but maybe a move to Goodison Park could rejuvenate his career."


Who they might sell: One player who appears surplus to requirements but is also marketable is left-back Leighton Baines. He has not established a regular place since his £6m move from Wigan in 2007 and Newcastle have been linked with a swoop for him.

What the fans say: "Kevin Doyle up front and Chris Eagles from Burnley will suffice."
evertonut on 606

And Kevin Doyle and Chris Eagles????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
 
The fan's opinion bit will be some random kid off their 606 page - bunch of absolute clowns on there for the most part.

More to the point, I think we're doing quite nicely without strikers, definately not in 'desperate need' of any!... Lets just hope we bring in more midfielders in case they get injured.
 

What fans did they speak to?

None, it's been lifted straight from the BBC's open access discussion forum. Most likely at random by whichever IT person puts the page together as opposed to the journalist who wrote the piece. Sloppy organisation rather than sloppy journalism.
 
Chris Eagles?? All this time I never realized that Evertonians have been dreaming about a player who couldn't cut as a Utd C teamer. What role would he play??
