felli will stay till 2016 providing efc don't decide to ask him to go. Capoue will be a neville replacement for the long term . People presume because the media say he is felli's replacment its the gods honest truth. Stop going on about it and giving the kopites something to laugh at.

Paul the Toffee

If you think Fellaini will stay to 2016 you really haven't a clue. He's gone in the summer, accept that and move on.

What about if somebody activates his release clause?..

He would be a good signing to fill Gibbo's boots, as good as Gibson is it is hard to build a consistent team with someone who is missing so many games, just wish he could get over all these injuries because just like Victor he seems to pick up niggling injuries that take weeks to clear up.

The original post and first reply are both wrong. It can't be said that fellaini will definately stay or go. He said he is willing to stay untill his contract ends, however that doesn't mean he will definately stay and moyes doesn't want to sell him, however it might be taken out of his hands. He is hot property. There are many different factors so nobody knows when he will go. Have atleast some faith, but also remain realistic.

It would make sense for capoue to be fellinai's eventual replacement( whenever he goes) that's why it is guessed. Just like your doing with saying he is nevile's replacement.

Capoue is a midfielder, we need more midfielders, that'swhy we might be interested. Whether we can afford him, I haven't a clue.

Felli will leave sometime between now and the end of the millenium. Anything could happen to change things(massive bid, we win Champions League, etc) so people who "know" when he'll leave are wrong, whether they say now, summer or 2016.

Ed any truth in us bidding for capoue {Ed025's Note - early days yet mate..

Are these unconfirmed reports is us bidding? Be made up if it turns out we have. I will keep my fingers crossed!

If and its big if we hav 10 mil to spend could you see it all going on 1 player, I cnt, unless we sell, true blue efc 4 life

He looks a player. Strong as hell. Skilful. Good passer. Can score. Somehow I can't see us signing him if arsenal are in for him. But we can hope. Sometimes we get linked with players to encourage others to sign them !

Moyes may have told Bill to bring him in and they'll recoup the money back when Fellaini leaves in the summer. It would make sense to bed a player in before the inevitable departure of Fellaini in the summer.

Arsenal were in for mirallas and where did he end up?

Arsenal wanted Mirallas remember. Not sure Arsenal really need midfielders! Quite strong with Wiltshire back!

No need to worry about the arse, super Kev Mirallas turned them down to come to us.....COYB!
Skeet

Post 3 I said that about super kev in the summer some of these young lads just want game time

Yes but arsenal where also in for mirallas

This does make sense(in regards to last post)

There is money to spend, the club are playing a bit of a game... I think you will all be very surprised! With a bit of of mortgaging next year's revenue, the club believe there is a great opportunity to progress and gain investment. Watch this space £10 million to be spent!!!

They have already mortgage a large part of next years tv deal (british virgin isles loan) and any money from the sales was used to pay off 3 other mortgages. {Ed025's Note - you are guessing..

There is additional TV money next year!! Also, higher up the league, more tv revenue too, Europe, etc!

I've believed all along there was cash. Dave was hardly going to say 'I have £12.27563m and I want Agbonlahor for £3.50, Capoue for £8.5m, and Kevin Gameiro for £3.7m' for example. Who knows, it could be that we're broke, it could be that we've a few pennies to spend. I can see a top notch signing coming in and it's not going to be Agbonlahor.

In all seriousness, they might as well spend money as they have assets on the pitch! Moyes is going to walk if we don't progress or make Europe. We could generate £40-£50 million from Baines and Fellaini. Nothing to lose by investing £15 million

Cant agree with you there. If it went tits up and we need to sell it becomes a buyers market and we wouldn't get anywhere near the true value for our top players

17 Jan 2013 17:44:48
We have made a £8.5mill bid for capoue, a france international"hope it gets accepted and we sign him, he spose to play like fellaini, if we sign him wonder if moyes will try and sign a striker aswel"though we was skint"coyb"magicmoyes

some great news about increased season ticket sales here: http://www.evertonfc.com/news/archive/2013/01/17/blues-season-ticket-success

should help alot along side the nike deal, rodwell deal and cahill deal to shut up the negative fans who can't see past our tiny 49m debt, when the accounts come out this time next year

Spot on lad been sayin the same thing Meself. now I have just read the page you mentioned we could be looking at great figures next year in terms of income. Just hope they spend some this month! LIAM!!

Everton have made a bid of £8.5m for Etienne Capoue according to talksh*te

17 Jan 2013 15:56:57
an unamed London club that's not Spurs or Arsenal that need a Centre Mid that do their transfers under the radar and like loan deals with an option to buy at the end of the season....

17 Jan 2013 18:37:55
...it doesn't actually say "an unnamed London club."

Sounds like the start of a football version of hongkongfooey...and just as relevant
Thats who were signing next that mild mannered janitor....hmmmm could be

Hi Fellow Blues:-

To confirm i have just seen with my own eyes 'Andrey Arshavin' in the Tesco on County Road on route to work! I asked the russian himself if he was signing on loan and he kindly replied, yes! He then carried on deciding which sandwich to have for his lunch i presume!

I really hope this hope this comes off as would be a real star at goodison! he looked quality in the euros!

lier, unless there are 2 of him he is and a childrens hospital in essex this afternoon

Did he pick a horseburger?

I can't believe anyone has clicked 'Disagree'! The author (whose very name references local geography, it should be noted) saw the Impish Russian funster with his own eyes! Buying a sandwich! IN TESCO!

I happen to know for a fact that Andrey is very partial to the occasional bread-based-snack (no mayo though, it reminds him of "unpleasantness") and this detail alone has convinced me.

Dobro pozhalovatʹ v Mersisayd, Andrey!

Possibly true, but he was buying some horse burgers, a meat Russians enjoy I believe

So your saying Arshavin who is on at least 50k-60k was eyeing up a Tesco Meal Deal? Ha best shout yet. Hope you told him to get a drink and pack of crisp to qualify for the discount.

Why do you lie so much

You are from Ormskirk but seen him in County Road Tesco? Ok then. Kc blue

Maybe this guy isn't 'lying' but the fella he saw just looked like arshavin, was possibly eastern European and was signing on 2 work at Tesco. Easy mistake 2 make from both parties...

Just a quick post about the rumours regarding Lescotts return. Honestly...would we want a player like that back at our club? do people not remember the Arsenal game?

Personally he's in the same catagory as Barmby, Speed and Rooney for me and i would never have him back.

No player is bigger than the club

Rossaldinho {Ed025's Note - good player though Ross..if he can help us out, I for 1 won't be complaining..

Arsenal game his head was on the move to city, great player! his and jags partnership was one, if not the best in the prem

But unfair to include Speed in that list, isn't it?

I agree with everything you say except don't put Gary speed in the list we all know why he left and he refused to go public so not to tarnish the club

I'd take him back and Rooney to if we had the option, look at our defensive record and then think of the partnership he had with jags, only gonna improve us!

Is Pienaar on your list too? Only the players and club officials know the real reasons re. Departures ... Which means Gary Speed should be respected as he is unable to defend himself.

If a player improves our squad get him in. don't cut your nose off to spite your face

I don't know why Speed left - please tell us

17 Jan 2013 21:16:31
Anybody who would blame Lescott for joining City (already has a Prem winners medal etc) and then not take him back needs a word with themselves.

Fair points made. But I stand my ground over including Speed. i'm sure I wasnt the only fan who booed him and sang rubbishhouse in the stands when he left. It is sad he is no longer with us but he would have been on that list if he was alive so i'm not going to be a hypocrite.

Rossaldinho {Ed013's Note - Football is a unique world where one minute you love a player, but the next a career move can make you hate them. When a player dies for whatever reason, most fans come together and share the players best moments and celebrate their lives}

Just read that we tryin to hijack Qprs deal for m'villa"

17 Jan 2013 10:35:17
Latest Rumour Is Everton Are Trying To Get M Villa On Loan With View To Buy In Summer For £10 Million Source Mail Online.

Would be an unbelievable signing, and one which would be perfect for our team. I truly think we are missing a defensive mid to shield the back 4. Not too long ago he was being linked with 20mil moves to clubs like Arsenal etc, if Moyes can sort him out and get his focus back on football (been having off field problems at Rennes, but I think a move to the Prem League would sort that out), then we would have one of the best defensive mids in the world.

Finger crossed for this deal, especially on loan, would show a statement of our intent for the rest of the season, but can't see it happening

Not a hope M'Villa joining OPR {Ed025's Note - I said that about remy!!

The 'other' team is now apparently Reading. Can't see why he'd want to go to Reading, QPR, of Fulham apart from the obvious cheddar

17 Jan 2013 08:42:58
I've been doing a bit of research and i've came across a 20 yr old Senegalese 6 ft 4 Defensive Midfielder.. Paul Keita.. He looks a good player, i've been watching a few videos... He looks similar to a younger yaya toure, he would only be cheap for the blues.. He plays for greek side PAS Giannina.. I think he would join the blues all day, great young player.

Is he any relation to former Barcelona defensive midfielder, Seydou Keita?

Scout vacancy applications to EFC please!

Not that I know of...

Stop searching the internet or fifa for players and get a girlfriend instead please.
Rhino {Ed025's Note - I'm not sure tristen would agree..

You mean you've been playing a lot of FIFA, and experimenting with a lot of teams, and you've come across a reasonable player who would be cheap ?

Didn't even know the greek league was on Fifa tbh..

Sorry ed but who is tristen?
Rhino {Ed025's Note - he's a regular poster rhino ..who, shallow say, is not a big admirer of the female form..

17 Jan 2013 12:09:24
this guy missed his calling, next he'll be sending tips in on players he's used on fifa13.

Unless they are seen looking at dogs in the RSPCA at the end of Finch Farm lane am not intrested.

WTF? Is this a rumour site or a Football Manager players?
We've now got a wannabe scout on here too!
Dave M

Hi ed iv seen this rhino lad and him and tristen would get on just fine.but I do agree all the players are good on fifa but not in real life.gibbo

villa after heitinga

I didn't know that David Villa was that way inclined.
Charlie Farnes-Barnes

Just heard Roma are lining up a 2.5m bid for him
Dave M

He probably means we're selling Heitinga to finance a move for David Villa... with a bit left over.
