Agree0 Disagree0

How is their budget dwindling? they've just got £24 million for RVP. {Ed025's Note - im speaking of utd mate...arsenal have already replaced van persie..

Agree0 Disagree0

I've heard that Arsenal could be looking at Baines to replace Gibbs, and with the money from RVP they could make a bid.

Agree0 Disagree0

I don't understand Ed whats the relevance to Baines in your initial reply?

Mike {Ed025's Note - united had money to spend, so by buying van persie, they cannot now afford baines..

Does any other Evertonian get the horrible feeling that its all too good to be true.

Van Persie being sold tonight and no doubt Wenger will want to spend something. Something to excite the fans. Tello is nearly a Liverpool player so what else is left. Wenger will probably swoop for the other young talent he's looked at.

Hope not, I'm just s**ting it, i really think the signing of Mirallas and Niang could be the start of new times for us.

Come on Mirallas & Niang,

Leon EFC {Ed051's Note - No mate, we had a feeling something was happening

Believable1 Unbelievable1

Me too Leon mate but lets just hope that moyes gets the signings done quickly. If we get them I too believe we could be heading into a new era. Trophy this season?
Blue kaz

Agree0 Disagree0

So apart from selling JR what's has actually changed?

Are we still skint?

DBEFC {Ed025's Note - only time will tell DB..

Agree0 Disagree0

Arsenal not stupid they would have knew weeks ago van Persie would be sold just Abit of brinkmanship if they really wanted Mira las a deal would hav been done 'they've bought two strikers already who in all honesty would be ahead of mirallas probably a case of minutes on the pitch y he's goin to blues

Agree0 Disagree0

15 Aug 2012 21:50:30

I so hope rvp leaving arsenal doesn't mean they are gonna nick Kevin off us now!

Believable2 Unbelievable2

Think they would be after a 'big named player' to replace RVP............Fernando Llorente would suit them

Agree0 Disagree0

Don't think so not exactly like for like are they? I imagine Arsenal will be be looking for a more established player anyway.

Agree0 Disagree0

They've got 2 strikers in giroud an podolski an if either podolski,giroud,gervinho or walcott play someone's gonna wanna leave so don't count on it, he's ours!! Times are finally good so don't worry.....BlueMafiaMan

Mirellas looks amazing the player I always tried to be. But its good to have the. Optimism back. Will he have the freedom to play, I don't want to get carried away from a video clip because drenthe would look awsome from a video. I have everything crossed hoping for more attacking formation i used to love watching trevor steven, peter beagrie, limpar etc I can tell my son then that's everton & that's how football should be played.

mirallis
niang
phillips
johnson?

Believable1 Unbelievable2

Now RVP has gone to utd (ssn), arse will be looking for a replacement..!! The timing of the RVP transfer smells of "the arse" maybe trying to grab Kevin meriles (spelling) from under our noses... I really really hope not

There after Llorente

Agree0 Disagree0

Thanks ed :) sorry forgot to sign off last time its zackblue i hope we get mirallis he looks quality!! and johnson to! :D

If Arsenal had wanted him they would have signed him by now because unlike us they don't have to sell to buy, so chillout.

Agree0 Disagree0

15 Aug 2012 19:10:05
Ed what are the definates as far as you are aware {Ed025's Note - nothing is definite, until pen is put to paper...but the signs are very encouraging..

Believable1 Unbelievable1

15 Aug 2012 19:42:01
The problem with mitrallas (spelling)playing tonight is if we haven't already signed him and he has a belter of a game then what's to stop arsenal,spurs or anyone else making a better offer than us! We can't afford a bidding war so we would lose out again! So I'm hoping he has an off night :-).
What do you think the chances are of us sighing him ed? And do you think we will get anyone else? {Ed025's Note - i think we are definitely favourites mate....and yes, i expect a couple more..

Believable2 Unbelievable1

Hopefully managers never evaluate a player on one game...

15 Aug 2012 19:28:32
I have to say if we get Mirallas and Johnson plus Niang ( Don't know much about him ) plus get a good start, I really fancy us you know. We played the best football in the prem during the last 4/5 months. We can beat the so called top sides and I would put a bet on for the title. Seriously.

Believable2 Unbelievable1

Mate i am an optimist and soooo looking forward to the new season. But title! Come on dont lets get too carried away. Title in two years and champs league in next 3 seasons... Ha ha coyb paul c {Ed025's Note - no harm in a little bit of dreaming paul....you never know mate..

Hi Ed, the difference between the posts from this time last year is amazing, I think not only the signings, but all the fans right behind the team should make for an awesome season, can't wait...COYB. Pops {Ed051's Note - It's a sign of things to come

Believable3 Unbelievable2

Just imagine what it would be like if BK lowered his crazy price for the club and did one!

One can only dream.... {Ed025's Note - not really the time to criticise the guy my friend..

Agree0 Disagree0

Get off BK's back, it is down to him and Moyes we have these signings, a stable club to build on, and serious optimism for the first time since agent Johnson tried to cripple us.

WtG.

Agree0 Disagree0

Wtg well said mate get off kenwrights back I wouldn't want any one else , some fans just don't realise how good we got it , a man who supports the club and puts his money in and goes energy game , god we never out of top six and that's without getting in masses of debt

everton to bid for standard liege striker defour {Ed025's Note - my head is spinning already...if we sign any more, i want the citys name changed to everton..

Believable2 Unbelievable3

Oh god... he plays for porto, not liege, and he is not a striker at all...

Agree0 Disagree0

Well thats a lie as Defour is a midfielder who plays for Porto. Try again.

Agree0 Disagree0

You're a year too late mate as he plays in Russia so a pretty useless rumour!

Agree0 Disagree0

Defour doesn't play for Standard Liege, nor doe he play in Russia. He plays for Porto.

I know this echo's a lot of other banter already posted today but I've just watched Kevin Mirralass on YouTube. Holy Moly, how did we manage to snatch him without every other club being aware of him? Another Moyes'esque snatch.

Believable5 Unbelievable2

Yes I saw it on the Mail online website, he looks awesome. Not an issue but most of his wing play came down the left, I assume he can play on the right? looks great though

Greg O'keefe the Echos resident Everton FC correspondent has said that Mirallas will not be having a medical tomorrow as previously thought as there are a few things to sort out transfer wise, so don't expect him to be unveiled as soon as most are saying he will be.

Greg O'keefe is a clown. An absolute joke of a reporter.

Not a rumour just an idea of starting line up
4-2-3-1....This give us strength throughout with great attacking options..

Obviously if transfer targets are bought in, also this would allow good rotation especially with the 3 attacking players behind Jellyman, with Barkley, Oz and Niang easily good enough to start..

Howard
Hibbo Jags Heitinga Baines

Felli Gibson

Naysmith Mirallas Peanuts

This could be the start of something special and hopefully inspire DM to sign another long term deal.

I've just watched Mirallas on you tube, I don't normally bother as you never get a true picture of their overall play. I have to say though that this chap looks amazing!!

Very tricky, very quick, scores with both feet, strong on the ball, only £6m, honestly I think I must be dreaming, surely we are not in for him, it all sounds too good to be true!!

Reports suggest we are in negotiations. If this is true and we end up with a player like this on the wing I think we can be very optimistic going into the new campaign

What do you all think?

Toffee ace {Ed025's Note - i agree ace..

Believable3 Unbelievable2

He has a release clause in his contract of about 5 or 6 mil, looks quality. OB1

Check out Kevin Mirallas on Wikipedia. Says his club is Everton. Do they know something we don't?

Hope it's right. Played really well recently against England. Top scorer in Greek league last year (34 goals) and was Player of the Year. Could be good times ahead!! {Ed025's Note - wikipeda can be changed by anyone!, i will not be posting anything using wikipedia as a source in future..

Hi Ed, i posted yesterday and was waondering if you know if we have any interest in any centre mids at present. I would be really happy if we got one of Miralles or Niang but i really think we need another good centre mid as neville and osman aint great and barkley is still too raw. I think that young lad we had of City looks pretty good but again a bit raw

i am not normally one to youtube a player as obviously it only shows the good points of a player. however this mirallas lad looks very good and skillful. looks like he has a lot of confidence to take a man on and also a lot of ability to pull of some of the tricks he is doing. However it does surprise me a little as he looks a bit too skillful for moyes. lol. he prefers his little grafters. but this lad looks really good and hopefully he is as good as he looks on youtube. however looks more of a winger than a striker although can play both. i also want this johnson business sorted soon as the longer it goes i can see the rs snapping him up from under our noses. mirallas, johnson and one more squad player and it'd be our best summer window in years to follow our best january window this year. 1878barlow {Ed025's Note - you right mate..

Believable3 Unbelievable1

Billy was quite skillfull. He and straq both looked great on you tube. This fella has done it at a decent level and looks to have a bit of grit as well as finishing. Time will tell so let's get him signed.

Getting really excited now, just shows how some money can really boost evertonians. Let's hope we get investment and it will be like this every window.
I think we will get 2 players and those players will be either: Miralles, Phillips or niang.
Miralles - reports are saying that we have agreed a fee of 6 million but before last night I thought he was going to the gunners and Miralles did say they have contacted him. I want this one to happen most of all say lets hope he comes to us.

Niang- A 17 year old prodigy who again was highly linked to the gunners and even trained with them before they got a bid rejected. He is unproven but this one seems likely as he is heading down to finch farm for a trial.

Phillips- we all know who Phillips is but can he make the step up to the prem? Personally I'd like this to happen more than niang because we need a right mid and I know niang can play on the flank but it's not his proper position and it's like playing anichebe on the left.
Anyway we have to get the transfer in by Friday so they can play against united.
However if we sign phillips and Miralles, where does this leave Naismith. If we sign the two I would play:
-----------------------Howard------------------
Hibbert-------Hietinga-------Distin----Baines
-----------------Gibson------Fellaini-----------
Naismith-------------Miralles----------Pienaar
-----------------------Jelavic-------------------

Against man u however I would play Neville at right back and also ease Coleman into right back against weak opposition. Also i would swap between distin and jags from time to time. I would let Phillips get used to the prem before playing him however Naismith has been effective there in pre season and has been one of our best players. We will get injuries and that will be the time for our youth to prove themselves and also against weak opposition.
Let's hope for the best. COYB NSNO

Drenthe linked with Man City. That could be one moody dressing room! With him, Tevez and Balotelli all sulking, Mancini will have his work cut out. Poor old Jack Rodwell won't know whats hit him. If he does get any injuries it will be due to tripping over spat out dummies on the dressing room floor!

IN DEMAND teenage striker M'Baye Niang will arrive at Everton today for a three-day trial – but the Blues are likely to miss out on Clint Dempsey.

The 17-year-old France U-21 forward will be at Finch Farm until the weekend, allowing David Moyes to decide whether to part with some of the funds he received for Jack Rodwell on Sunday in order to secure his signature.

Arsenal have reportedly had an offer of £5m rejected by Caen for their precocious attacker, but it's likely Everton would still not have to pay in excess of that figure if they were to propose a different way of staggering payments to the relegated French side with more up front.

But with Spurs also hot on his trail and AC Milan waiting in the wings, it is by no means certain that the Blues will be able to persuade him his future is with them.
Noted I love this guy (in FM.).I hope we can get him.

Everton to sign both Mirallas and Niang and Anichebe set to leave.Niang will only sign if he does well in his trial.

Johnson wage is blocking a deal Moyes is trying to come to an agreement with City to pay 50/50 for his wage. Matt Phillips is probably likely to join but not heard anything myself.

Why does it always seem to take efc ages to sign someone, the peanuts deal took ages even naismith seemed a long time, I really hope we get johnson from city, but if we've been in talks for 2 weeks about rodwell why couldn't this have been sorted, instead if we get him now he will have had about a days training with his new team mates before are 1st game of the season, and they can't say its cos he's on england duty rodwell is in the same squad(until he pulls out injured) not moaning I'm happy were signing anyone just wish we could of sorted this one quicker.

Everything seems to be falling into place now for a great season for us now and a couple more signings possibly adam johnson and mirallas could make us push higher up the league. Also I just hope that we have every player available for the man u game and come monday night i and many evertonians will be singing are hearts out for the blue boys. Heres to a great season :D

Money is such a luxury at Everton, we get so excited and i think it's a good job its Moyes at the helm and not one of us. It would have burnt a hole in my pocket by now lol.

We dont need 4 new wingers though, Mirralas & niang (or phillips) are great as they will eventually (specially niang) be predominantly strikers but are versatile.

Please lets not forget about Gueye. I think he was quality last 5 or 6 games and we don't want to wreck that progression.

Loan of AJ is exciting but I'm still a believer that his work ethic is not one which would sit well with Moyes. Plus city wouldn't loan him for nothing because of financial fair play so £80000 a week for some1 who doesn't work like an Everton player should is a no go for me.

The belgium lad looks good if we can sort deal. I'm a little worried every1 wants us to get every winger in the world tho. naisey, AJ, niang, Mirralas, tom ince, phillips. were not a city who will rot players.1 more and a young left back would do me. Maybe Niang as striker 2 because his potential must be there(too many big clubs stalking him for him to be rubbish)

Posted few days ago stating we probably buy a player not previously mentioned. Mirallas springs to mind! Nobody had any idea regards the sale of rodwell. However although jack is a fine player he wasn't an automatic starter for us. Mirallas and johnson or phillips would be fantastic instead of having jack. Think we still have another player on moyes raidar who we havent heard any rumour of plus a few loanees. In moyes we trust. We are on the way to becoming a top four challenging team by the end of this transfer window if recent rumours become reality. The squad numbers are still small but we could hopefully pick up few more squad players and i looking forward to the season, feel like a kid on xmas eve. Coyb paul c

i tell you what blues, being totally honest i didnt know FA about this Kevin Mirralas kid so i "youtubed" him and i know you cant judge a player on 4 minutes if his best bits but this lad has got mad skills and by the looks of things he loves to run at defenders which is what we have been lacking for years with the exception of Peanuts! he has scored a good few goals aswell! He looks a steal at 6M and only 24 aswell another Moyes Gem if it comes off!

I posted back in the beginning of July, that Adam Johnson was a possible signing 6-8m. The stumbling block was instalments rule set out by PL with British to British clubs... A few responses rubbished this saying he was worth twice as much... Well my source is from Sunderland and has since told me to just be patient as this has got real potential as the clubs are looking at add ins (Whatever they are?).
Anyway don't want to get your hopes up but fingers crossed hey!
