The summer 2013 Everton transfer rumourZ thread

Chelsea had Turnbull as their pack up for a while. I don't see that buying a replacement for Mucha is a concern.

I think sinclairs a good player, he's been unfortunate at city because of the calibre of player they have but i really do think he could excel here.

You could be right, and he's certainly got a few goals in him. He just didn't really stand out that much at Swansea after they got promoted. With a manager who can get the best out of him though, who knows? It wouldn't be a bad signing for under £5 million, just not as exciting as some of the alternatives.

Sinclair is over rated and thought of his wage packet when he went to City, not a attribute I like in a player.

Asking you a serious question, without trying to come across as an ass. If you got offered a job that was nearly triple your wages would you not take it?

Kinnear has swerved the Douglas deal haha.

I wonder when we'll sign someone.

I think it will happen some day.

Footballers get paid too much anyway, so that question is pathetic when talking about footballers in the top league, he knew he wasn't getting in the man city team, even I knew that and yet he still went. I would rather have a player who wants to play every week and be hungry for games not seek the higher wage. This is a good way to go cos Newcastle used to take all the money grabbing footballers while we got the gems.

Can't agree more. There are too many money grabbers.

Macnelly Torres being linked... never heard of him

Link To Article

Colombian international Macnelly Torres could be in line for a move to England this summer, Sky Sports can reveal.

The 28-year-old, who plays for Atletico Nacional in his homeland, is a mainstay of the Colombian midfield with over 30 caps to his name.

Torres would qualify for a work permit given Colombia's current world ranking of seventh.

A number of English sides are now studying Torres, knowing that he has a release clause of less than £2million.

New Everton boss Roberto Martinez is believed to be a fan, whilst West Brom, Crystal Palace and Hull are all said to be taking a keen interest.

His British representative Dan Chapman of Full Contact told Sky Sports: "Macnelly is a tremendous player, he just has not had the attention of many of Colombia's bigger stars - but he is now very much on the radar of a number of clubs.

"Whilst he may be 28 he still has some great years ahead of him, and we think he will be a star in next year's World Cup supplying the ammunition to Falcao and Jackson Martinez.

"He is, and we are, very hopeful he will be playing Premier League football before the end of the transfer window."

Sounds like the perfect Martinez player to be honest.

Why the assumption from the majority that we will go back in for Fer?

If he was a Moyes pick, what's to say that Martinez doesn't fancy him? I'd say this is a far more likely scenario than the consistent view throughout here that "as we bid for him in January, we're bound to try again".

He seems to be on a high percentage of poster's shopping lists. I don't see it myself, unless anyone has some inside track that Martinez is also an interested party.

It's not, any people in any form of life aim to better themselves, no matter how much they where getting paid. As much as it is wrong football is no different. When (at the time) the current champions come and ask you to play for them, with the benefit of giving you a bigger wage, you will say yes.

I'm with you. Martinez needs to stamp his own authority, he won't do that by signing players that Moyes has chosen.
