Gravesen signs!

Seriously we have on the books the best squad for years it just needs that little rounding off. Then the fat lady would sing, just ask Chico he knows all about them.

Is what I said on another post does that answer your question. How many other forum members did you ask in addition to moi.

Well I wanted your opinion because out of all the posters, you just stood out as not that impressed. I wasn't victimising anyone,just at the time I just thought you were less than impressed.

So I take it your not pissed off then with the Summer dealings? :)

I'm also confused with the multiple threads, so sorry if I missed your opinion.
 

It is only Gravesen I am not pleased about for me rarely works bringing players back especially after so long, it was Jan 2004 he left. I just cannot see in the time left anymore activity taking place much as I would like to see another body on the lines of Appiah, Manny or another Arteta.
 
I get a real kick out of people who bitch about squad depth with all of the competitions coming up for us, not to mention our league obligations and then, when we go out and get on loan, a competent player, they bitch and moan about the quality of said player.

Sometimes you can't have your cake and eat it too.

But in this instance, Moyes has instantly added another player to the squad, one with experience, one who's already familiar with many of the Everton players, and one who can help when needed.

Is Gravesen gonna be an instant starter? Possibly but probably not depending upon who's healthy and who isn't but that really isn't my concern. My thought is all we need is one or two more injuries in the midfield would have left us woefully short. Gravesen fills that potential void.

Oh, and did I mention Moyes didn't spend a few million quid in the transfer market to fill that need?

Damn, some people need to take a step back, take a deep breath, and just for a minute or two, compare this squad right now with what Moyes had to start with 5 years ago.

Some people are never satisfied. :angry:

I agree about Gravesen, if we had to pay a transfer fee, but he is on loan so the risk is fairly mimimal.

I was as annoyed with him as you when he was here and I felt he only played when he was being touted for a move. But I think he may well have learnt the error of his ways and his interview is fairly promising, we obviously know where is heart is and I never felt that before.
 
Munch, munch, munch, lovely bit of cake. No offence Tex some like him some not keen simply that.

Ghost no way are we going to get that many players before midnight tomorrow or whatever time the FA packs in, as for Appiah, work permit in less than 24 hours????????:huh:
 
Personally I think it's a great signing. We all know that he's not our preferred signing but he's buggered off to Spain. We all know that with deadline day fast approaching we really need an extra body in midfield that can keep posession and help relieve the creative burden from Arteta. For me Graveson can do that. He knows the club like the back of his hand so will have no trouble fitting back in and will have the insurance of a defensive midfielder behind him. Given the time restraints I think he'll do us just fine until the end of the season.
