Sky sources: Traore to undergo medical at Everton..
Just incase any didn't believe it was going to happen, pretty much confirmed now?

Would love for the Tadic rumours to be true, but can't really see us spending big on that position. Especially after we got mcGeady in allready.

Agree, although possibly his flexibility is the reason?
Thought a CM would be priority over him though, who knows.

I can see Pienaar being benched and the 3 behind the striker being Barkley, Tadic and Mirallas in whatever order if we get Tadic. End of the day him coming in will give us quality options and I can see Pienaar doing something similar to Osman by coming on with 30 minutes to go and changing the game.
 

You brought much needed GOT credibility to it Chico. No one trusts those basic layout forums hidden at the bottom of toffeeweb somewhere with all their 'look to the seaside' bullish!t.

If this happens I think it's looking more & more like kev will be a striker for us.

Sorry, mate, I still think Pienaar is so important to our possession football he has to be a 'shoo in' on every team sheet. Even when Arteta left, I was so pleased that our more influential midfielder (Pienaar) remained, and we missed him badly when he went to Spurs. No matter whether he's playing well or not, he always shows for the ball, always makes those clever little darts, and works like mad (often a bit clumsily, leading to most of his cards) to recover possession when we lose the ball.

People moan about him giving the ball away, but it's rarely, if ever, due to a bad touch; it's always through trying something creative. To me he personifies his Ajax upbringing (totaal veotbal) sprinkled with South African magic dust. What a player. He's Everton, him!

I've watched Tadic as much as possible, and he's very similar to Pienaar in regards to creativity. I think he has a better eye for the final ball though and is a top crosser. If we go for him, i'd imagine it'd be as a short-term replacement for Barkley while he is out, and then as a long-term replacement for Pienaar
