If we sign richardson and vdm comes good, then thats a left and right winger meaning arteta can go back to the middle (where we desperatley need someone that can pass very well)

richardson and vdm both have a lot of pace, so with aj we could see quick breaks on the counter attack at long long last.

which would be nice.

sounds great suits but theres a lot of ifs in there.

A fit VDM would be fantastic. He's a quality player when he's sober and fit.

Thing is, I'd be surprised if I ever seen vdm back to his best in an Everton shirt.

Oh look, another IF!!!

 

[fozzy]

thats vdm for you.

the best I've seen him play is on a youtube montage.

I don,t rate richardson he reminds me of lee sharpe overated had 1 good season and can,t be bothered getting back to what he did when he had a good season and just like sharpe a playboy and should never have got any england caps.

I understand your point my alcoholic argumentative freak of nature(you remind me of me)

I don't want to lose Arteta from the right, he creates masterpieces that Timmy know's how to find. (Do you know what I mean?)

i'll let that one slide for now, that is unless it wasnt actually aimed at me

i appreciate arteta on the right (and occasional left) but the position of precidence in my opinion is the left and middle midfield spots. if moyes could clone arteta so we could have three, then that would solve the majority of the issues - sadly he cant. we need a player in the middle that can dictate play to both flanks, and im interested in seeing cahill come onto a cross from the by-line instead of outmuscling two or more defenders because he is battling for position when the ball is crossed from deep.

So if i read this thread right....

It was colonel arteta in the hole and he used the cornerflag?

Blues to miss out on midfielder

Fri, Jul 13 2007 09:52

Man United's Keiran Richardson will reportedly join Sunderland for £5.5m with Everton set to miss out on the England international.
The versatile 22-year-old has never really taken his chance at Old Trafford and will be allowed to move on following the summer arrivals of Owen Hargreaves, Anderson and Nani.

Black Cats chief Roy Keane has endured a frustrating summer in the transfer market but is poised to add Richardson's signature to those of Gregg Halford and Russell Anderson.

Everton had been linked with a double raid on United for Richardson and Alan Smith, but it appears they will only now have the chance of landing the latter.

Hmmmm.... did we ever see a number put on Everton valuation of Richardson? Giving up on players for a couple million is one thing but is 5.5 that much more than we would have paid?

 

[SuitsBlue]

depends on how much the alternative costs, if mgp costs 8mill, then is an extra couple of mill that much more.

its very easy to give in to the escalating price game, moyes has shown he is willing to stick to his guns and shop around.

i say lets get a vote going to force vdm into E.C.T to rehabilitate him.

I always said Richardson was [Poor language removed].

If you want to talk of value for players, how much did we give the manure for Neville? and for Howard?
