Everton update

After completing the signing of teenage goalkeeper Jindrich Stanek from Sparta Prague, I have been told Everton are currently exploring other deals - and the likelihood of this could be the arrival of a midfield player on loan. No names yet as a number of options being looked into.

... FFS

BREAKING: is what my heart will do when Everton sign nobody.

I can hear it now, Bill in front of the hoarding press.

We tried our very best to sign a number of players such as pogba, vidal, kondogbia and fabregas. The money was there for Roberto but we unfortunatly fell down for two reasons.

1. We could not arrange a work permit in time.

2. The clubs said no.

fax machine's broke

Broken trestle table I'm going for.

 

[zirc]

haha we love getting people on loan.

More like we love not paying money.

 

[General Disarray]

Its almost certainly bollocks. but the manager attends to put a case forward to explain why this person is a better option than anything available in this country. The Manager is best placed to make the assessment.

Fernando has Portuguese citizenship, he wouldn't need a work permit mate.

Aye but last deadline day Roberto aparently spent the entire day getting a work permit for the guy according to twitter and the like.

Rosicky anyone ?

 

[FTY]

Nothing's gonna happen. Don't get your hopes up lads.

Aye but last deadline day Roberto aparently spent the entire day getting a work permit for the guy according to twitter and the like.

He got his citizenship in December, he needed it in summer, but doesn't now.

We need a striker badly more than a midfielder

 

[hudd101]

I want us to get a decent back-up midfielder for when one of McCarthy or Barry are out injured or suspended. Doesn't have to be an expensive player, could even be a foreign loan, we clearly need a temporary replacement for Gibson though as Osman isn't good enough to start in centre midfield.

I agree. I've just seen people saying on here and twitter that we should break the bank etc. I think it would be more wise at this stage, to save the majority or the money until the summer. That's unless Martinez really has something up his sleeve.

Rumours of Eric Cameron from Stoke if we manage to offload JH

 

[Shibbywiggles]

Roberto is going to London but it's actually just to drive Jonny to Fulham.

Roberto is going to London but it's actually just to drive Jonny to Fulham.
