Moyes Keeping Tabs On Brazilian

[GrandOldTeam]

Both Everton and Bolton are believed to be interested in Fenerbaches Brazilian defender Edu Dracena.

Dracena played a pivotal role in Fenerbaches Super Lig win and their impressive UEFA cup campaign and is thought to have attracted the attention of a host of clubs from around Europe but despite the 26-year-old being linked with Real Madrid and Liverpool, SkySports believe it is Everton and Bolton who are most likely to give the Brazilian a chance to test his skills in the Premiership.

With defender Joseph Yobo being unavailable for part of the season due to International commitments (African Nations), it is expected that David Moyes will be actively looking to bring a defender to Goodison Park.

Be quite something to actually sign a Brazilian that makes the first team after Da Silva and Rodrigo.

True. Also a internationally experienced defender would make us have a great defensive lineup even if we rotate players.

 

[Robert Jarvis]

Add to that the Swiss defender who may join us and it could look like we have moved a bit forward. Nothing certain yet though.

Stop right now.

Look at the title again.

Mucho ace. Has his bird been for a wax then?

Don't knock DS. I'm expecting big things from him next season. Appears he could do quite a job for us in midfield. His last touches in the final(?) game last season were worthy of note IIRC.
