If Nugent is really that eager/desperate to play for us then surely he should just stuff any offer by any other club? That is of course, if Moyes is actually willing to pay £4m rather than give Vic and Vaughan a chance (or sign Gudjohnsen ... 
)
Correct me if I am wrong, but if Nugent said to Preston he will only leave for Everton and he will not renew his contract, then they will have to sell for 4m either now or in Jan... simply because if they didn't they would lose him for nothing next summer. In fact, that could be better for us. Sign him for 0 next season (he'll still only be 22) while giving Vic an Vaughan a chance.
For once am happy with Everton's transfer tactics. Everton are holding their ground, as they did with Jagielka. If Nugent wants to play for us as much as he claims, then the ball is firmly in Evertons court... especially with Nugents contract expiring next year. And Preston know it, I mean, take a look at their managers latest comments;
Simpson "Portsmouth and Sunderland are the only two clubs who have agreed a fee with us. And the best of my knowledge no one else has even contacted us.
"I actually think we will be seeing the lad on Monday, although I am really guessing because I honestly don't know what David is thinking."
""I think the two clubs who have been in for him, and we have accepted offers from, are fantastic clubs. I'm sure they would both be a good move for him."
Translation: "he's leaving, we desperately want him to go to Sunderland or Portsmouth because we'll get at least an extra 2m."
I've rambled on abit here, but if Nugent signs for any other club, its simply because we didnt want him because if we did, am sure we would have got him for 4m.
