Gravesen On Verge Of Move

[Cal]

THOMAS GRAVESEN is on the verge of making a sensational return to Goodison Park.

With David Moyes anxious to bring in a midfielder before the transfer window closes tomorrow evening, he has explored a number of options and it is understood that Gravesen is at the top of his list of candidates.

The Denmark international was first joined Everton in the summer of 2000 from SV Hamburg and went on to become a cult figure during his five years at the club, making 155 appearances before he moved to Real Madrid in January 2005.

His spell at the Bernabeu, however, did not go according to plan and, frustrated by a lack of opportunities, he joined Celtic 12 months ago and helped the Bhoys retain their SPL title.

But Gravesen has not started a match for Celtic this season and has been told by Gordon Strachan that he is free to find another club, which has alerted Moyes, who last week saw top target Manuel Fernandes move to Valencia.

Sheffield United and Manchester City have also made enquiries about the 31-year-old but it is looking increasingly likely that Gravesen will put pen-to-paper on a deal and was set to have a medical on Merseyside this evening.

Though some regard Gravesen as a maverick, there is no question that he has ability and with Moyes making no secret of the fact that he wants to recruit another ball playing midfielder, he fit’s the bill.

We need someone who can pick out a pass,” Moyes noted after last Saturday‘s 1-1 draw with Blackburn Rovers. “We are trying to do something about it.”

Ghana’s captain Stephen Appiah - who missed Fenerbahce’s Champions League qualifier last night - has also been mentioned as a possible target but a move for him is now looking increasingly unlikely.

My nightmares...

he wrote it.

appiah AND one of vogel or gravesen, ideally.

and then theres cover at the back needed. (which we could try to get on a loan deal)

 

[Tennessee Blue Mike]

I still think Vogel would be a cheaper option and really a better one. But I'm not to choosey at this time.

 

[chicoazul]

He sacked us off last time, and we needed him.

But wouldnt say no for cover if he costs nothing and doesnt expect high wages.

 

[Robert Jarvis]

Ball playing midfielder that is a killer.

"Tommy, Real Madrid have come in to sign you. What do you want to do with this one in a life time chance mate?"

Give over chico. Anyone with even an ounce of brain would jump at the chance. True blue or otherwise. Play for arguably the biggest club in the world or stay and (what was then) battle relegation or float for a top 6 finish every season.

Read my post mate.

The fact remains, as much badge kissing, fist pumping corner flags antics as he done - he has the prospect of going into Europe with us. He had six months left on his contract but Im sure we would have give him a nice improved one.

Now tell me, using the ounce of a brain, what did he do in the numerous seasons before that. [Poor language removed] all, he's a liability unless he's in a five man midfield.

But as I said, for not much wages and on a loan then I wouldnt say no.

[Poor language removed] bravo.

 

[Axlswhk]

battle of chico and chigo...

 

[chicoazul]

This aint no Ghost and Suits.

And its not as if I can smash him over the internet for saying 'give over chico'.

Which is a homo term by the way.
