translation -

Yet single hours buttocks pinch for some clubs, while other associations desperate on missing be that last acquisition. The 'transferwindow' state yet open until tonight twelve hour. Who remains, who hooks still finished and which club gets really yet a 'fat fish' in? AT. nl love you the last hours for closing time minute until minute on the height of the last developments. 20.46: The transfer of Royston Drenthe of Real Madrid to Everton has been rounded off. The former Feyenoorder becomes a team companion of John Heitinga.

!!!!!!!!!

That sounds hilarious.

Couple of sandwiches short of a picknik.


He's got the talent though

Interesting read, thanks for the link. He seems like a little bit of a "Ricky Williams" type (reference for fellow Yanks). But still i dont see what is wrong with going on strike for not getting paid. Fans have to realize that football is work for these players. While they are beyond fortunate to be able to make a living playing football they still need to make a living. I wonder how many of those furious fans would have kept going to work if they werent being paid

I really want this to be a free transfer...which means it'll be a loan deal.

Not going on about him for not being paid....its his "other" activities..

Got a man-child/Balotelli thing about him

Whats this thing about him coming in on a loan? It's a free transfer ffs!

Loons mate .

I've got no problem with him going on strike for unpaid wages it was his attitude in general that put me off. As the deadline draws closer though I'm remembering his pace and ability more than any off field behavioural problems he may have. Sort it mOYLeZ

As I said before, The lad's got some issues. If he's still got his head up his arse, he'll cause the biggest fume fest since shandy Andy didn't play for us. If he's sorted his head out we'll get the buzz back at Goodison coz he could be a tremendous player.

Nice one mate, that sounds like a fair appraisal. A gamble worth taking. You know your Spanish footie so I'd trust you best on this.

Maybe. I cant see how we'll be able to keep a player on £75k a week.

If Arsenal would have come in with the right money (£12-15m) it would have been a good deal for all, as we'd have got much needed money for our top earner who is approaching 30, and they would have got an adequate experienced replacement for fabregas at less than half the price.

Agreed mate, for that price. The determining factor in that would have been how much of the fee went to Moyes to spend. If all of it, then it's good business.

Nice to sign someone with genuine pace. Him on Coleman on the wings will be interesting.

This Drenthe deal is all a bit public and too good to be true.

I expect Pardew to catch wind of it and put in an 11th hour bid with better terms. That is what he seems to be resorting to now.

Fair enough, but those other activities seem lighthearted. And until he went on strike everyone loved him there.

I'd cry if that happened.

It's what the Barcodes have always done....

They've just matched Fulham's bid for Ruiz haven't they.

I hate Newcastle, last time they were in the prem they always seemed to be in for the same players as Moyes and would then offer better terms - I can think of Parker and Emre off the top of my head.
