Clubcall actually admits the dubious nature of this link to Daniel Pranjic, in whom David Moyes is supposedly interested on the basis of having been at a Euro2012 game were he played recently — although the link between Everton and the wing-back pre-date the tournament.
Pranjic, 30, is out of contract after a tough season at Bayern Munich where he was hardly played by coach Jupp Heynckes. The Croatian, who featured in his country's 1-0 defeat to Spain last week, fired a parting shot at Heynckes last week by criticising his substitutions in the Champions League final.

Moyes went to that match and the link may be based purely on that and the fact that Pranjic is looking for a new club, having admitted last week that he had an offer from China.
He's had an offer but hopefully the higher quality of football will attract him to the prem
Blue D

Hes about 31 wish we could buy someone young for once .... Melbergs another old fail that we would only get like a year out of, it's just a WASTE of MONEY and players and wages when we should be gettin Naismith and pienaar first before we start lookin at anyone else .... Annoys me so much

Remember people saying the same Re Distan

Naismith is rubbish ! Even for free. That guy pjanic was on the plane away to sign for us in Jan and bayern put a stop to it why? beats me. Think he would be a good addition to the team Sell anichebe 4m get piennar & Pjanic I would be happy

Yeah and Naismith has already done his cruciate ligaments twice, this hardly brings much confidence to me about his long term availability.

Svenny

Just remember Lescott had serious injuries and he was great for us.
Joe EFC

You say you want youth but then say get Pienaar who's 30. Make your mind up will ya.

Dont get me wrong I'd love Peanuts back, but unless Spurs let us do another loan deal (which is unlikely) then we can't afford him as I can see Spurs wanting the £3m back they paid for him.

If they're gonna be losing Modric, Adebayor and possibly Bale then they're gonna wanna keep players like Pienaar unless they receive silly money.

Sad but true!

Dan Gosling's off to Blackburn, a great example of the grass not always greener on the other side.

Behind Blue Eyes

He's screwed us, now he's screwed newcastle, now blackburn, no doubte picking up nice fees to put his name to a contract

He didn't choose to leave us, he left us because the admin didn't renew his contract.

QatariBlue

Actually he did choose to leave us, he could have signed a contract but wanted a bigger wage at newcastle

It would serve the t..t right

Was never goin make it with us the odd big goal apart slowest player ever seen no loss to us ste45

The Daily Mail just said that they want him on loan. He might not be getting game time at Newcastle, but he wouldn't have with us. So he's not actually lost that much, and has gained probably a million quid in the process of leaving us. I suppose that was his big pay day.

Correct Ste. He was hopeless. Would never have made a name for himself at the Blues. Championship player at best.

Wizard of Osman

Thought Gosling was another Michael Branch anyway.
Moyes is right most of the time, players who leave Everton generally do nothing with their careers

He ruined his career by being a money grabbing little sod. He was never a blue to begin with but we gave him a chance in the premier league, the people in his ear and the loop hole his agent pointed out was worth only money no football reasoning what so ever to go to the barcodes. That's what gets me about it, the lack of footballing ambition has just made a waste of his career.

West Brom and Everton are monitoring events with Rangers duo Steven Naismith and Steven Whittaker.

The two international rejected the transfer of their contracts to the newco at the SPL outfit.

They now consider themselves to be free agents.

Let West Brom them have Whitaker, we only want Naismith.

It's a bit like buying re-possessed houses. A bit distasteful preying on the misfortune of others.

pretty sure Naysmith was in everton two on sunday having his boots done, even signed a few autographs as he left. had some work done on the side of his boots couldnt see what it said tho. anybody else hear about this?

Would have been difficult as he was giving a press conf in Glasgow on Sunday Re his refusal to join newco.

Must be driving a bloody batmobile,had interviews in glasgow all day yesterday.

I work there and it was Eminem who came in! easy mistake to make though! i forgive you

I got his autograph there

Why would a pro only have one pair of boots that he would get stitched himself I think Nike would do that for him... Always think about things before believing them

I didn't hear about this.. Oh probably because it didn't happen

I was there all day and this is total s**te.

I have to get this off my chest. I was really angry with Pienaar for leaving in the manner he did but was prepared to see him come back due to his excellent partnership with Baines. Had he not left and had played from the start of the season we could possibly have been playing in Europe next season. He has recently been attributed with saying that "Moyes would be a great appointment for Spurs" and that once they appoint a new manager "I need to know if xxxx
I will be used by Spurs". As good as he is it seems obvious that he is once again looking out for himself. Then there is the possibility of paying more to get him back than we sold him for despite him being older and being injured.

Popeye (I feel much better now)

So basically he will only return if Spurs tell him to do one

So a professional footballer in the later stages of his career wants to know what his prospective new manager's plans are for him before he makes a decision? What exactly has he done wrong?

Yes I'd like him back, but he's under no obligation to us and if we don't have some sort of back-up plan in place in case he stays at Spurs (for any number of reasons) then only ones at fault are us.

As for "quotes", just ignore them, be they positive or negative. Even if they're recounted verbatim, which they rarely are, they can still be twisted by changing the context in which they were given.

Ultimately if he comes back, great. If not, there's plenty to get wound up at in life without adding a fairly amiable Everton old boy to the list.

I can see your point. He was never going to sign a new contract with us before going to Spurs, always after his next move and signing on fee. We got paid, he failed, if we get him back for a decent price and he continues to do a good job then its win win for us.

anyone of any truth in the rumors of us signing Olof Mellburg

Ins:
Pienaar £5m
Naismith free
Luc castingnos (spelling) £3/4m
Outs:
Big vic £6m
Yobo £2m
Looks increasingly likely we are gona get Naismith, bale wants to stay at spurs so could get pienaar and luc castingnos (spelling again) am I dreaming? I would love this to happen and doesn't seem to unrealistic......
Cornol sanders

Stop it. 6m for Vic will just not happen and Bale also plays centrally so thats not why Spurs may keep Pienaar. The new manager may want to keep him... [AO]

We will not sell Vic for £6m. - BlueJay

Bale plays central? Wot ganes u been watchin? Ir did u meen pienaar?
