Good to see some young midfielders being signed up. We have lots of good young keepers and strikers but midfield and defence havn't had so much action.

EVERTON boss David Moyes is ready to win the race to sign Swiss prospect Bruce Lalombongo - and beat Real Madrid to his £1million signature.

The giant 16-year-old midfielder, who plays for FC Lausanne, has been to Goodison Park for talks and is expected to agree a deal in the next few days

remember Robert I lost the black ball

This kid sounmds like a Viera type, strapping lad that for a midfielder. I'm more than happy that we take the Arsenal approach and pick up good kids from the continent at what may turn out to be bargain prices. I'd rather have 6/7 kids than one BT but then you all would

Trouble is we bring them on and then they buggar off, do we really want to be selling club, training young players for the likes of the Rs and manure.

Its happened once, I can't forsee another miserable prick like Shrek coming along for a while and it remains, in my book, good business.

 

[Robert Jarvis]

Nothing against good business but when it leaves such a taste in your mouth!

200th post. Well.

Picking them up early is definately the key. I was reading about Kaka today and Milan signed him for just £4.5 million as a youngster. He'd probably be worth £30 million + now. Even Ronaldo looks a bargain at £11 million.

Moyes is certainly heading in the right direction and with the likes of Arteta and Cahill picked up on the cheap he clearly has a decent eye for talent.
