why have no other clubs come in for lennon? its a very confusing situation

De Guzman isn't attacking is he?

Sort of - he's a bit Pienaar and a bit Cleverley, but I don't think he'd ever be described as a 'number ten'.

"Would rather take Naismith. Kone is getting a game ahead of him so would be available."

I think we can make that work right?

Talk on Sunderland forum that they are signing McGeady on loan..

Perm please. We will get around ￡3-4m surely.

Nice that we're getting two utterly obscure south american randoms like everyone was complaining about wanting. Maybe they can pipe down about 'predictable' signings until next summer.

I bet we all want a marquee signing but even without one I am happy with the dealings. I class this as a very good window as we don't lose any first choice players while adding two or three useful squad players.

In: Deulofeu, Cleverley, Funes Mori, Rodriguez, Holgate. Another two attacking options will sign too according to Martinez.

Next summer, we will probably release Hibbert, Gibson, Kone, Osman and Piennar as their contracts will be expired. The overall age of the team will go down significantly. Hopefully we will give Oviedo a new contract. If I am the manager, I will try to get rid of McGeady before next Tuesday.

i can't blame any evertonian for thinking this way - it's just wrong. we should be wanting and expecting so much more than this.

I'd be surprised if they haven't. Rumours suggested he was told to train with the u21s because he wasn't interested in going anywhere but here.

Something boss is going to come from nowhere. I can feel it.

Because he wants Everton.

"Thing is, mate, he's a quality footballer. Whenever I've heard commentators on his performances always good things said. Clearly Martinez isn't convinced so would play him more, but I think he's as good as what we could expect given our situation.

I would bet my left nut that if he comes there will be people on here raving about him after a few matches."

Wow, standards really do fall to new depths in the last week before the deadline.

Terms are sorted with player and his club, but the visa situation means Everton cant count on it.

Seems pretty much done mate:

Defender Mori, 24, and striker Rodriguez were guests of the Club at last Saturday's game against Manchester City and have since been at the Finch Farm training ground.
Speaking at his weekly press conference on Friday morning, Blues boss Roberto Martinez said: "We're really, really excited. Ramiro was in the building yesterday. We hope to complete the deal sometime today.
"International clearance could take a few days. Our relationship now with River Plate is very good and we're confident Ramiro could become an Everton player very soon."

Deadline Day is either gonna be mental or an absolute Hiroshima for the board.

one of them will probably never play a game for the first team though

 

[Phenom]

De Guzman isn't attacking is he?

No he's a centre mid, never understood people on here saying he's our playmaker/winger signing.

I like him but we're pretty well stocked in that position already.

Same here, still think there will be a surprise. Haven't even completely given up on Yarmolenko, although I admit those chances look very slim.
