just watched that omar abdul-rahman who plays UAE. He plays for Al Ain the UAE Pro League.. reckon we could get him on the cheap? he's very skilful and could be an ideal player for us.

Wouldnt it be difficult to get a work permit?

Although i want him at Goodison, the Adam Johnson on loan rumour hyas only come out now properly because of a no name twitter account
I am led to believe we have actually inquired to Adam Johnson's availability on loan, however, it is a long shot, as City would most likely, if they want to get rid, sell him (he would have suitors) and not to mention they would have to pay part of his wages if he were to come to here. Therefore, more or less no chance of him coming, but i can sure hope for it.

why is everyone saying we have no money? how could you possibly know if you have nothing to do with the board? For all we know, bills distant cousin might have died and left him £10m! Clutching at straws but the point is, everyone needs to stop presuming that we have no money when we could have a budget of £5-10m
bluejoe
Well said Joe, been saying the same for weeks. If DM signed a new contract before transfer business is complete then people assume the board have given him a decent budget, if we say we have an amount to spend then the spuds want more for peanuts, every other target we look at goes up 50%. As it stands we go looking at a player then "Oh its Everton, they are skint." we do business for reasonable money.

I cannot see Ramsey getting in the Arsenal team. Might be worth a loan
Everytime he scores, somebody dies. no thanks. haha. no we don't players like him.. we got gibbo, fellaini, rodders and osman

29 Jul 2012 18:41:12
Just seen someone post on here about osman at rm, personally don't know if anyone agrees but he seems to perform really well against the 'lesser clubs' and the only occasionally turns up against the top teams, for example Sunderland played absolutely sublimey and then in the semi final didn't turn up I was at the match and didn't notice him once, so I think a perminant replacement is needed apart from that I think we really are close to something special
Blue D
Ossies header against arsenal at their place then his header against city at ours! I'd call them BIG games!
L4 4EL WHNC
I agree mate, he's too inconsistent and tries to do too much sometimes..I'd rather he was a squad player and we brought in a new first-choice RM
Murf
Disagree completely. Osman has great feet and most importantly reads the game so well. He always looks for the ball. If he had half the natural athleticism as Rodwell, he would be a regular starter for England.
Shame Rodwell hasn't got half the vision/ hunger and skill of Osman.

Some say Everton, curtailed by the bank, have nothng at all to spend on players after the pienarr in and yobo/cahill out deals are done. Maybe I am over optimistic but I do not believe that the situation is that dire....I believe the bank will have noted the financial prudence we have shown over the last financial year, tracked the possible sources of income for the future (even if that were to mean the sale of one of the better players) and will not so stranglehold the club that they are not permitted to spend a little more in this transfer window. We have good diposable assets, and with the board giving assurances that, if things became tight down the line, we would sell on a top player, I think we will be granted a bit of breathing space on the debt, and there will be a little more to spend in this window. Now that the haggling is over with Spurs, where Bill will have claimed dire poverty on our part, I expect there to be a further outgoing, a couple of million no more, on a winger/striker.
29 Jul 2012 18:05:04
I hope the rumours about adam johnson coming on loan are true, with peanuts back, bringing his guile and ability 2 keep the ball, felli's strength and gibsons passing we just need a winger who can beat a man to have a really superb midfield, and with barkley and rodwell in the mix, and two lads who can genuinely finish up front am starting to get a little feeling the blues could surprise a few this season, just hope we get that winger.
Ste c
With johnson on our right we would have a cracking midfield, with his limited chances at city, i think a move to everton would be good for him and us.
Everton Dave
As a full Back - would have much preferred to have played against Johnson than Piennar. Always cuts inside on to his favoured left foot and rarely hits in crosses that really count. His tracking back is very poor and is just not a Moyes type of player.
29 Jul 2012 17:40:21
Just got home top, (bought away last month!) let me say the home top is probably the lightest comfiest! and feels great so hopefully the players will preform great in it
also away has Jelavic on
home has Naismith

If anybody watched the olympic game between brazil and belarus one player from belarus looked very comfortable and was probably one of the best players on the field, i dont think he would cost to much either... oh yeah his name was renan bressan...
He's Belarus' brightest talent, I think he would be
If you type his name in google it comes up "renan bressan everton". Let's hope this is a good omen!

I am rapt we are 99% sure we have signed Steven Pienaar, do you think we will sign anyone else or maybe just a couple of loans. Because all these rumours give me a headache.

An official at everton has come out with a statement saying that everton have had no contact with Man utd regarding Baines! and are now fed up with the speculation!......Should have done this weeks ago, But it,s a good sign!..jmff
Where is this, nothing on the Everton site?
Mike aintree
Despite near-constant media claims this summer that Manchester United are close to signing Leighton Baines, Everton reiterate that no contact has been received from Old Trafford for the England international.
Attempts by the national and Manchester media to keep speculation alive has led to reports of bids of anywhere between £8m and £18m having been made by United for the left back, but sources close to Everton have always maintained that neither they nor Baines have been officially approached.
With the latest suggestions being that Sir Alex Ferguson won't pay more than £12m for the 27 year-old — some way short of the £20m where it's believed David Moyes would only start considering a sale — a Goodison Park source told ESPN:
"We have not even had a single enquiry from Manchester United.
"Every week we are asked the same question, but it is the same answer, and we are getting a touch fed up with it. For two months it has been suggested that Manchester United have bid for Baines, but it is simply not true."
The same ESPN report suggests that United are monitoring Ashley Cole's contract situation at Chelsea as Ferguson weighs up alternatives to the 31 year-old Patrice Evra.
There ya go lads.
MikeyBlueNose.
Haha press are so funny and by funny i mean stupid they are suggesting a good replacement for the 32yr old evra is the 31yr old Cole who is 32 in December. nothing like replacing an old player with a younger one eh?
Sorry forgot to sign
ToffeeAL
We play them 1st game no coincidense
29 Jul 2012 14:27:15
I've actually seen Bolanos play! (Danish media reporting we agreed a 2.5m fee)...
He's a small, but quite strong, right winger. Of what I saw he was very nippy and creative.. They got him on the ball as often as they could. He was intricate at times (Pienaar esque) I recall he delivered a consistent crossing quality also.
29 Jul 2012 14:21:13
Chaps, like most of yourselves, I've watched A.Johnson alot since his younger days breaking through at boro and a prolific loan stint at Watford... This kid can play! The fact his arse is covered in splinters at city is a disgrace. I know for a fact if city sell him for say, 8-10 million.. In 6 months we'll be gutted we didnt move. What an addition to our squad.. Left footer who operates brilliantly on the right.. When have we ever had a luxury such as swapping Pienaar and Johnson on the flanks after an hour to change up our game?! What a prospect. Free up funds NOW! Act quickly!
Agree totally mate, I would put him on 70k a week with felliainy immediately, if only we had 10/12 million, come on Everton make this happen
29 Jul 2012 14:07:25
One of the things I love most about this great cub of ours and it's supporters is our humility, we know we're a great club, a great club that's fallen on hard time, and we know eventually we will get back were we belong, but we don't feel the need to rub this fact in people's noses or constantly remind them of our past, we know our past and that's all that counts.
We don't delude ourselves every season that we're gonna do this or do that, we hope for as good a season as possible and that our team and manager do us proud on and off the pitch. If a player is not fully committed to our club and giving 100% we don't want him no matter how good he is. And if a player has given his all every time his worn our blue we will back him and wish him well and follow his career when he moves on.
I feel this is exemplified by this summers transfer window, Cahill leaves us and there's no moaning or begrudging him his payday, there's simply message upon message of good luck and thanks for all the great memories. Peanuts comes back to us, and we all accept that players make mistakes, and the fact that he wanted to leave 18 months ago is forgotten by his performances while on loan and him stating that he wants to play for us!!
And finally we only signed two players this summer and sold 2 or 3 but we're happy with that, in fact I think most of us would be fine if the transfer window closed next week, we never ask for much and what we get we appreciate, because toffees are born not made, it's in our blood. I have a feeling this is gonna be a special season, but even if it's not we will all turn out on match days to support our blues, we'll bite our nails, kick our dogs, scream , cheer and maybe even cry a little. We love this club no matter what!!!

If we recruit another forward, I'd like to see a gas man! Someone who can come off the bench after an hour and play on the shoulder a bit. Jela is classy as they come but he's running in treacle. Would be nice to see some variety.. When AJ first signed that added dimension gave us a real boost!

What does everyone think of making an Everton Rumours fantasy football league? Everyone has to use their posting names for their team not real names!
If enough people are interested I'll make a league later on and post the league code on here.

You told us nothing !
You said we wouldnt?!
29 Jul 2012 10:37:49
Everyone's being positive now are they? Mere days ago people like me were trying to stop the negativity. Add Pienaar and everyone's Top 4 finish! all over again.
29 Jul 2012 10:14:53
ED been having a thought is there any chance that the Sahin rumours have legs to them? He was bought for 10 million euros, he's been told he doesn't figure in mourinhos plans and can go on a loan or permenant deal, he's only actually played 4 games for them, spurs don't want him in the modric deal as villas boas wants just money so he can get moutinho and arsenal have opted for cazorla instead so surely with it being us and west ham left being linked then there's every chance a loan with a view to a 4/6 million permenant can be struck? It would be what we paid for pienaar or just a million or two more for someone with a lot of creative spark who moyes could mold into a world class talent, thoughts?
scoober C {Ed025's Note - in a word mate...no
Aren't Arsenal linked with him too?
ToffeeAL
Are we actually linked with Sahin?? {Ed025's Note - no!..
29 Jul 2012 10:14:09
STEVEN PIENAAR will complete his return to Everton from Tottenham tomorrow – for more than £1million less than the £3m Spurs paid for him 18 months ago.
The South African midfielder, who struggled to make an impact at Spurs, recaptured his old form after going back to Goodison on loan last January, with four goals in 14 games.
Source: Express
I don't wanna say "I was right" but I kinda was.
29 Jul 2012 08:27:54
Hi Ed whats your thoughts on Christian Atsu, Ive heard we are having a look at him... Great we have signed Pienaar.. Is there any likelyhood we will resolve the right wing or right back? {Ed025's Note - if atsu moves, it would be to spurs..
There isn't a right back problem to be solved.
I would be happy with Ossie on the right
Jon
Never heard of him {Ed025's Note - plays for porto..
29 Jul 2012 07:43:22
I'm glad the Pienaar story is finally over, i hope now we will concetrate on a striker, maybe, as I've been told in the past, I for one would welcome a loan move for Johnson, hope will make it, cheers
29 Jul 2012 07:03:54
I think there maybe more to come over the next few weeks. DM always made it clear we need more creativity aside from Pienaar. I know Nayith is a talented lad but I don't think DM had him in mind for the creator rather than someone who would feed off the creator.
So maybe we can look forward to another trick up the sleeve of DM. Don't mind a loan deal either as this is where we got the likes of Arteta and Pienaar in the first place.
Book your days off for transfer deadline day lads it could have a surprise for us on SSN.

I think that we need a qaulity RB such as Danny Simpson or Nathan Clyne. A good RM, I think Adam Johnson would fit that role very nicely and then maybe another striker such as Jordan Rhodes who doesn't mind being Jelavic's understudy until proven in the Premier League.
This would be my dream starting XI next season:
Howard
Simpson Jagielka Heitinga Baines
A. Johnson Gibson Fellaini Peinaar
Naismith
Jelavic
Now I think that is a top 4 team. {Ed025's Note - wow!..
2 players that could be a possibility,that team looks great mate.
Westy
I think if newc get the french rb, Danny Simpson would be a great shout ..... two loan signings would be amazing - Johnson and lukalua ....
Easily pleased
From what I have seen of Simpson he is not up to it. Hibbo and Neville are more reliable defenders.
29 Jul 2012 00:07:22
A few people saying we need another striker but i think Vellios is capable of filling that position in if Jelavic does get injured or suspended.Although i would take Santa Cruz or someone experienced as back. I would try everything to get Lewis Holtby. Watched him a few times last season and the other day in a friendly and he is a perfect replacement for Mikel Arteta. Crossing and passing is perfect and he puts a shift in. I would test Shalke with around £7million and a swap for Anichebe or someone and see if they take it. If we get him it will be a unreal signing.
TonyEFC {Ed025's Note - he would be good tony...the problem though, is where do we get the £7m from?..
The board might cough it up knowing he has good sell on value maybe haha
TonyEFC
He's in his last year of his contract so maybe we could get him cheap in January.

Now it looks like we have finally signed Pienaar, I can't help but feel excited for the upcoming season I mean Pienaar and Naismith? Compared to Drenthe and Straq? Now I see that as one hell of an improvement from last year and with the transfer window not even over yet, it's gonna be a good season blues remember Nil Satis Nisi Optimum
BlueCon
Im sorry but Drenthe is miles better than Naismith will ever be and Im not a kopite. {Ed025's Note - maybe not a kopite...more of a gob****e..
Fingers crossed and don't speak too soon - we also need a right winger - and the wolves still lurk
Drenthe was a fruit loop mate, last I heard of him he was in Weatherspoons toilets in town sat on the bog with a pair of undies in his head and a pencil in each ear shouting the word (who knows what the word is)
Degsybluenose {Ed025's Note - we are well shut of him, if you ask me degs.
Drenthe was technically superior, but unfortunately a fruit loop upstairs. Dribbling past 1 or 2 players doesn't make him a good player
