The summer 2013 Everton transfer rumourZ thread

Barry on loan with a view to buy for £4m would be a decent bit of business. Not being the best midfielder at City doesn't automatically make him a bad player.

I would a view to buy for a free. This is his last year on his contract, I think.

Good signing I think, just what we need, if its only a stop gap signing it buys us some time until Bill finds some more loose change and curly wurly in his winter mac.

Lescott is coming into his last year as well..
Top class competition for places..

Yeah, just edited now I've seen his age.

Would have him back and all.

Distin only has another season in him.

You'd rather have a player who will be 33 before the season is out than one who has just turned 26 and is available cut-price?

If we have the option, I'd rather have diame.

Not sure we can dig up the money, mind.

Barry is the better player and a one year loan will be cheaper and might give time for junior or lundstrum to make it but diame is the long term option and that's always better.

You're right that is a bigger badge of honour than playing for the league champions. Well done.

Only the very best sat on wigan's bench under martinez.

He was a key man. In his 3 years at the club he made 37, 40 and 26 appearances respectively. I was really surprised that nobody bigger than West Ham picked him up when his contract ran out. He's a great tackler and has shown in glimpses that he can get forward and score important goals too.

So would I, he'd probably fit straight back in the team as well.

Martinez rated him so highly he let hhim walk away on a free and was NEA about it

That last year, wigan won 11 games, diame started 3 of them.

He played when they were awful and was on the bench at the end of the season when they actually played well. It was dropping diame and rodalegga that kept them up.

I disagree. Barry was very good at Villa but I think he's got slower and slower and I'm not really sure how he has been getting picked for City and for England as long as he did. Perhaps it's on reputation? Diame has gone under the radar and was getting rave reviews for the Hammers before he picked up an injury. Arsenal have probably missed a trick by not signing him to replace Song.

I'm for Barry on loan for a year, not a bad player and could be quite helpful in the back. Any idea off hand around how much his wages are?

 

[coollino]

Everyone ****ged off Gibbo when we signed him, i'll judge on how he plays.

120k a week, I think. Which is far far too much for us. We'd have to hope city pay most of them.

 

[Azzurri]

F*cking hell. Diame better than Barry? Of course someone who played 26/38 games for a Wigan side that nearly got relegated is better than someone who regularly played more for the league champions and has 53 England caps.
