Hi ed51 did you manages to get hold of the person you know with the mirallas info? Any updates for us! Thankyou! :-) {Ed051's Note - Been trying cant get hold of him, he works with the everton youngsters.
As soon as I get hold of him if he knows I will post

Donavan has said today that he will either retire, move to another club or stay at galaxy. Seems a come and get me plea.
That's what every player does eventually ;)

What other option does he have?
I suppose he could give up playing football...
and sign for the RS... Ha Ha

Everton Rumours Fantasy League
Haven't posted this for a while but we have an Everton Rumours Fantasy Football League and I think tomorrow is the last chance to sign up your team in time for Gameweek 1.
Site:fantasy.premierleague.com
League Code:427052-112577
Please include your posting name as either your managers name or your team name, just so we know who's who.

Hey thanks TT just joined watch out for Biella FC :)

No problem mate :)
ToffeeTony
Hi Tony, Was just wondering if your league is in the standard format or the "head to head" version.
If its the original, I may set up one as a h2h as the prospect of us all playing one another on a weekly basis would be great banter! Plus it adds the whole dimension of 3 points for a win etc rather than just an overall points total.
Anyone interested??
Blue Dazzle
It's a standard league. If you set a h2h league up, will have to start scoring on weeks 2 or 3

Ohhhh being a blue!! nothings ever straight forward is it. Naismith dragged on, Pienaar dragged on, Mirallas ? Johnson? Adam ? Phillips ? Niang? just drives you crackers; doesnt it.... {Ed025's Note - no one said it was easy mate...
16 Aug 2012 21:45:38
Just been on Arsenal rumours n struggled to find a mention of Mirallas, then i found one. "Arsenal going to get Jelavic for 15mil, now that EFC have got Mirallas"!!!
Last count 19 replies all bar a couple saying they would jump at the chance, 1 reply saying 25mil would ensure they get him !!
Gotta laugh at these fans, there again we are as bad at times.......
16 Aug 2012 21:43:37
Not being funny lads. This Kevin Miralles is a quality player and I would love him here at Everton but what's with this "who wants me more" "come and get me" show some class son, don't get ahead of yourself and inflate your ego, your nobody yet!
Just sign him and that's it, offer him a deal if he takes it i'l be overly excited because he looks a talent, if he doesn't then he can p£ss off!
Steve
If he's nobody, why would you love him to come at Everton?
16 Aug 2012 21:39:15
Just been on the arsenal rumours sight no mention of mirallas really they sayin Wenger said he has already replaced RVP in Giroud an also they av step up interest in Mvila which is also a good sign just hope we get this kid on push on cant wait for monday night COYB

Just spoken to my uncle a blue through+through is currently out working in greece as a holiday rep picking famillies up taking them to there destination,noticed kevin mirallas at athens airport maybe this is a sign that he is on the way to the uk everton or arsenal only time will tell. I hope its us but don't want to be negative buti have a feeling that he will go to arsena.
Maybe he was flying pack from the match last night?

16 Aug 2012 21:20:43
I rely hope that we do not go for adam. Its not that he has played for the s**t but he's just not good enough. The fact that he was at his best when he was at Blackpool and they still got relegated should tell everyone all there is to know.
Kinda silly post really many quality players have been relegated...!! Parker, Juninho, Ravanelli for example...

Same s**t different season... we're signing Charlie Adam. Just coz Moyes' brother is his agent, been there, heard that!
Don't want the "Diving, Fouling, Cheating, scummy C**T!"
I'd rather have Carrol, least he'd suit our needs.... Even if he is HIGHLY over priced.
Please don't sign Charlie "cheating" Adams
Gods Doctor
What do mean cheating?
I don't want him either Doc. Nothing but a thug. Doesn't suit our honest way of playing football. However we have to be positive about the way Moyes and Kenwright have gone about this transfer window. Absolutely fantastic job. Even if we get nobody else it's still more than we expected. We will be a force to be reckoned with next season. No doubt.

Not a rumour just a little honesty why does the vast majority of people need to be negative. Will arsenal bid on the lad from Belgium NO they need BIG names to please there fans. Just really annoys me that we get so negative at a good time and if he does change his mind we will find someone else so just be positive or be quiet

This Mirallas lad is playing us for fools. He's no intention of signing for us it's just a game so arsenal will give him better terms. This may bust a few people's bubbles on here and I'm as gutted about it too but it's the truth, I know a few People in the journo circle personally and he will not be signing simple as that you herd it here first.

Simple summer: we buy mirallas, niang and john-

go on a cup run and finish top 6 and also moyes

sorry about my post last night from talksport, was a load of sh*t...
im about 50% sure he will sign for everton due to the fact arsenal are interested too... he has been dubbed the 'belgian ronaldo' and will fit into the arsenal XI. they do not want to sign llorente because he's similar to giroud, so my verdict is that they will snatch him from us if they offer him a starting place...
hope it doesn't happen, but if it does it does... what do you reckon?
CP
He will will be used as backup if he goes to Arsenal, and the player knows that too hence him saying he prefers Everton as he will be first choice.
Fit into the Arsenal XI?
Just push Ox, Podolski, Walcott, Gervinho, Cazorla and Arshavin away?
No, their attack will be:
Cazorla
Walcott - Giroud/Podolski - Podolski/Ox
I don't think he'll sign for Arsenal
16 Aug 2012 18:49:01
Look, you and i know there will be no more signings in this transfer window for Everton. We will be told that we'll have to wait for the January sales, but that's Everton for you.

So we all wanted Adam when he was with Blackpool and he was pants playing for the red s. Now he becomes a good player again as we are linked with him. I would be surprised if we signed him as we need pace going forward. Watch this space
Since when have most of us fans said Charlie adam was good ?? I personally think he is one of the worst players i have ever seen, he is crap and cant run every one of are midfielders is better than him, you are wrong lad if you think most off us fans want that useless c--t. Terry blue

Mirallas would be such a quality signing for us, have watched a lot of him. I know nothing about Niang. Think we need another midfielder tho, of the Lee Carsley type. Felli showed end of last season where he needs to play, just behind the striker. Annoys me to see Southamptons signings. £2-3m for Clyne & Davis. I'd have taken both, latter more a squad player but Clyne looks v talented. Think Pienaar deal took too long, may have missed out on a few bargains. Still, would love who we are linked with now. Can't wait for season to start.

If we secure the services of Mirallas, Johnson and Niang... Together with the Pienaar and Naismith... I would have to say this could be one of the most successful transfer windows in Moyes' tenure

16 Aug 2012 17:06:53
Hi Ed, I've followed football all my life but i don't have a clue why the medical is compulsory i think if the player has played a game within a week of the transfer which Mirallas has there is no need for the medical, can you shed some light pleasemate? Dan1 {Ed025's Note - its an insurance thing dan, all players have to mate..
What so pay 10 mill in Transfer fees and wages for someone who may have underlying problems?.
Its about more than fitness and isn't exactly new, I remember back to when Asa Hartford's move from WBA to Don Revie's Leeds fell through because they suspected he had a hole in-the-heart condition. Didn't stop his career mind you, but in the light of Muamba and the high fee's paid it makes sense to protect your investment.

Hi ed how do you know mirallas is due for a medical? Can't see anything about it! But I'm very happy to hear it! You think we will get anyone else? If so who? Cheers ed! {Ed025's Note - i still think we will sign 3 players, miralles, niang, and either johnson or a wild card...a source from within the club told me the medical expected in next 24 hrs..

Great news ed, he is a top class player
Everton Dave {Ed025's Note - your right dave..
16 Aug 2012 16:37:51
Why is everyone going mental over phillips? He is 20/21 and still playing in the championship if he was decent he ould of been signed up by someone else already.. same with zaha.. If they did sign they would just be another person to put on the bench, I would much rather have osman or coleman down the right..
Mirallas should be unvieled by the weekend but if he isnt registered by tomorrow afternoon then he cant play against the mancs, same situation with van persie if he isnt registered...
Phillips is quality, i would love him at goodison, any chance ed?
Everton Dave {Ed025's Note - it will depend on whether or not we sign niang dave..
Just remind me how old Cahill was before he played in the prem?or Osman?
That kind of suits me to be honest. While I'm sure that Mirallas will be class if he signs it. wouldn't be right to thrust him straight into the cauldron that is a game against man u. he won't have had a chance to train with us properly and will be unfamiliar with our tactics.
MB
Always liked Phillips, got a lot of what you want in a winger. I think he has a bit of attitude though, Olly took a v long time to get him in his team. I would rather Ince if we went Blackpool, just impressed me more last season out of the two.
Big Nev
Mate, Pienaar was 25 when we first signed him on loan...it doesn't matter how old they are, if they're showing the quality and/or potential to play in the Premier League then PL clubs are gonna look at them...

16 Aug 2012 16:17:08
if Mirallas is thinking of joining arsenal and wants to play one club off against the other and hold our great club to ransom then he can think again we should make him aware that he is not the only sttriker in town and if he plays hard ball then we should look accross europe but we could do worse than matching Huddersfield's valuation of jordan rhodes in my opinion a younger hungry british player who is on a high after making his international debut for scotland and i believe would jump at the chance of joining a priemer leauge club where he will get regular games what say my fellow blues

I love the way the Mirror report that because Charlie Adam played for Liverpool, then it might upset fans if we signed him.
I think fans will be more upset because he's not good enough, not because he played for Liverpool.
Charlie Adam > Darron Gibson
Moyes is an admirer of Adam !
16 Aug 2012 14:53:52
There are quite a few posts on here backing the possible aquisition of Adams from the RS, and most of them are good points!, but the thing is, He would hinder the progress of Ross Barkley, this is a chance for Ross to make his own mark on the team this season! and he needs playing time to achieve this, and it won,t happen for "obvious reasons" if we aquire Adams. So for me, it would be best for the club! to leave this one alone!.......johnmacfromfazak
16 Aug 2012 14:45:58
Charlie Adam to sign by next Friday he prefers to stay on merseyside the price is £6m the source is near enough from the horses mouth. Dont know if im happy with this but did think he was a class act at Blackpool and did have his moments last season think he has a better chance of suceeding at us we will see. NGIBO
If true, I got no problem. Quality player ruined by the s***e who paid over the odds. We can have him for half that.

Niallefc94 {Ed051's Note - 90% sure he will
Mirallas interview on SSN he states us n arse are in the frame but he wants regular football which he thinks he ll get at everton plus his mate felli is here as well but he didn't rule out arsenal, he said he was heading back to Greece after the match not England and nothing would be concluded till next week . Source Mirallas
16 Aug 2012 13:59:25
If Marallas then we will not sign Adam Johnson however we will still be in for a man city player, that is Roque Santa Cruz he will most probably join on a season long loan
Does anyone think we had any money before the window opened
16 Aug 2012 13:58:22
Anyone got any updates on the Mirallas deal?
I believe it's happening, just a matter of waiting until the deal has been finalised.

Yes, hes thinking about going to arsenal
Still waiting lad the last I heard was he didn't leave the hotel with his national squad he left about an hour early hope we get him mate the lad is pure class
Cheers CP, let's hope he's signed in time to face United....and 2nd comment, behave

Javis from wolves on his way . . . would make a great signing
You supposed to be on the w/ham page mate?
16 Aug 2012 12:25:13
So if we do sign Mirallas, this will most likely be the starting team.
------------------Howard----------------
Hibbert---Jagielka---Distin---Baines
Mirallas---Fellani---Gibson--Pienaar
------------------Naismith---------------
-------------------Jelavic-----------------
Looks like a very strong team. Good pace and skill on the wings. Baines will hopefully link up well with Pienaar again. Naismith has played with Jelavic before so they should work well for us aswell.
One problem we should not face, which destroyed us at the start of last season, is goals. Jelavic was scoring a lot when he came, and now that he's settled, he should score a lot more. Naismith scored 3 in his first game for us, so that is definitely a good sign. Then we'll have players like Mirallas, Fellani, Pienaar, Baines and the goal machine, Hibbert, who will chip in with plenty of goals throughout the season.
Our bench could be pretty strong aswell, with young, talented players like Barkley and hopefully Niang.
Overall, I can't wait for next season. If everything goes right for us and we get off to a flying start, we could nearly be challenging for top 4.
Can't wait.
Good team, but instead of distin i'd play heitinga and instead swap Mirallas on the right i'd play naismith!
EFL
And still at the very least 6mil to spend on another player or two. Sad to see Rodwell go, but from the looks of our targets, it could be the difference between another 7th and pushing up into the top 6.
Gibson and Hibbert both need replacing as they are both useless. {Ed025's Note - gibbo useless....back to your own site pot herb..
What are you on about Ed? I think you are on a wind up if you think Gibson is any good. At least you agree that Hibbert is useless though. {Ed025's Note - i did not say hibbo was no good, he is not world class, but very capable and the perfect club professional ...gibbo is quality though, and more than a match for your lucas, who is the least skillful brazilian i have ever seen!..
16 Aug 2012 12:12:51
Everythings looking exciting at the moment. What a great move it was to sell Rodwell, someone that would of continued to sit on our bench, and we got 12 mill for him. Couldnt ask for more, and with that means Baines and Fellaini will deff be staying. Looking forward to Mirralles joining, we might actually have a player with a bit of pace, v exciting.
On another note, England match last night, thought i would have a cheeky bet, went for England to win 2-1 and Defoe to score the last goal, love it, had a feeling as Defoe loves to come off the bench and score. Got it at 60/1, wish i put more that the £2.50 on it but hey ho i will take £150 back. Lovely Jubbly. Thought it share that with you all.
RobbyMac
Nice work RobbyMac - I had Jags first goalscorer so close yet so far!

What, you're sharing the £150 with us all? Aww cheers Robby lad!

In keeping with our time honoured tradition... I'm waiting for Everton to bid 15m for RVP now that Arsenal has accepted 24m from Man Utd!
16 Aug 2012 12:06:11
Charlie Adam is a good player and
if moyes wants him then we should
trust his judgement, he was great at
blackpool but it doesnt appear to
have worked for him with them, he
could reinvent himself with us.
Lets get behind them its going to be
a good season for us come on !
sparky
If it stops us from signing mirralas no thanks :p
EFL
Why do we want another centre mid?
and also - is it not time that everton started not giving second chances to players who spurn us and try their arm elsewhere?
might make some others think twice about grass being grener if they know they only get one chance to come to a great club like everton?
I think we might be on the brink of having a really good team - we're only one or two pieces away from having a cracking team front to back - millallas should grab us quick!
16 Aug 2012 12:01:45
Charlie Adam rumour is completely fabricated. A member of the press tweeted suggesting the link with his agent and "could that mean everton may be interested if he leaves LFC" - since that tweet I watched the snowball effect.. Everton are not interested in Adam, he will end up at fulham or west ham.
As for Southampton making a 6m bid for phillips.. If that's the region of valuation we are talking, then I don't want him. I see Moyes assessing Niang and if he fits the bill, spending the money there.
West ham i think

what is going on with us everton fans, how are we going to have a wage bill for all these players we couldnt even get demba ba or klose on frees were looking at 40-65k a week players so how we are going to get all these players who will all be on 50k or more except Niang i dont know, sorry to be so negative but its the truth
Because we had a huge wage bill when Ba, Klose were available. Since then we have got rid of Cahill/Yobo (£110k a week between them) Mcfadden, Drenthe, Straq, Rodwell, Baxter, Yoao Silva, Saha, Arteta, Yakubu - that is alot of wages gone. that is why we can afford to reinvest money and pay wages for 2-3 highly rated players.
MAC
That was last summer some big earners have left since then.
Well for starters, Cahill, Yobo, Rodwell wages have gone so that frees up 3 high wager earners. We obviously had money for Pienaar wages last season ashe was on loan, so its just Naismiths added so far with 3 coming of the bill. Im not sure what you find hard to believe?
You're forgetting since last season, we've off loaded Cahill, Yobo and Rodwell for starters so that alone has freed up some of the wage bill.
We can afford these wages by letting Timmy, yobo, McFadden, Drenthe, stracqualursi and some youngsters going
16 Aug 2012 11:22:25
Moyes obviously wants Mirallas but will turn to Niang if the Belgian prefers it up the Arsenal.
Likewise ... Preference is for Adam Johnson on loan ... But will go for Matt Phillips if Citeh won't agree.
Either way .., great to see some pace and skill on it's way to Goodison!
16 Aug 2012 11:17:39
Some good news I think, were all fretting over Mirallas possibly moving to Arsenal since RVP has gone to united. Wenger has said he considers RVP "already replaced" by Giroud and Podolski, which makes me think he doesnt think he needs Mirallas aswell so i think he will more likely come to us.
16 Aug 2012 10:54:01
From Sky Sports
"It is possible to go to Everton, it is possible to go to Arsenal, I don't know now," Mirallas told Sky Sports News.
"I will speak with my manager and make a good decision for me and also speak to my family importantly.
"They are two big clubs of the Premier League, but for me it is more important to play every week. It is better for me a little bit at Everton.
"They [Everton] are a good team and it is a good opportunity because Marouane Fellaini plays at Everton who is my friend, but I don't know.
"Tomorrow I go to Greece, next week I go to the Premier League or go to Superleague Greece."
...... Marallis ...Not a done deal Yet, But I hope we sort it...
16 Aug 2012 10:45:03
Everton need to stop Arsene about (see what I did there?) and get Mirallas snapped up. Will stop the gunners snooping about for more strikers they don't really need
I think moyes realises this and is giving hes all hense why himself flew to belgium to push the deal
16 Aug 2012 10:44:55
Kenwright has said he has been busy working on deals including getting the young French guy ( can't spell his name) in for a trial! Source-NSNO website.
16 Aug 2012 10:31:06
Things are starting to move at Goodison now guys. Expect 2 signings by the end of today
16 Aug 2012 10:27:25
I was in my local chippy last night
and the owner, who is greek, and
watches Greek TV on the satellite
was saying that the Greek news and
sports channels are reporting that
Miralles has been sold to Everton for
8 million euros.
Not outstanding news considering
the SSN reports and interview but
just a little bit of weight to the speculation

Mirrales deal is along way off as he would prefer arsenal move if they came back for him but wants regular playing time that everton can offer. He flown back to greece after belgium game to talk move over with his family, so a medical is still some way off. he said maybe his good friend felli can convince hime to move, hope he does. dont expect any deal to be completed until next week.
johnboy blue
Get ur facts right hes said on ssn that he wants moreplaying time so he thinks everton is the right move for him
16 Aug 2012 10:22:41
The talksport website states that everton have signed mirallas on a 4 year contract! But yet mirallas himself says that he has not yet decided but would favour a move to everton as he wants to play regularly! So either talksport are blatantly lying or the deal is done but just being kept quiet for the te being! But I do think that talk sport are full of rubbish!
What you reckon ed?
Talk Sport should be called Talk Sh*te
PTF
Talksport should be renamed to Talkrubbishe..I'd stop listening to it if I were you, they're as bad as the newspapers for spreading rumours

Thanks for censoring my comment there Ed..haha ;)

Sayin on ssn Mirallas favours move that gives him more football. Sounds like a sensible kid not just obsessed with cash. Come on felli get on the phone tell him come to the peoples club and be loved every week.

moyes at belgium game with mirallas agent and mirallas also said he would rather join Everton than Arsenal
16 Aug 2012 09:38:22
Surely with arsenal selling rvp they really want mirallas or Niang? Hopefully we get mirallas the videos on YouTube are outstanding!
16 Aug 2012 09:25:40
Just seen the SSN interview with Mirallas he wants to come to Everton but i doubt he'll be signed today because he said he's going to greece to speak to his manager
16 Aug 2012 09:24:47
think the deals for mirallas and johnson will happen but just gotta be patient, as we all know being a blue is so hard when the likes of spurs, arsenal and the sh*te wait till last minute then try and poach from under our noses
16 Aug 2012 09:12:39
Nothing to do with any transfer rumours as such but anyone else heard that crabbies ginger beer will be sold in the match next season? Makes a bloody change from that god awful Chang.
You'll be wanting Bacardi Breezers next!

I know Charlie Adam choose the RS over us last time but as we proved with Pienaar, some players make mistakes, I for one would welcome him if he pulled on a blue shirt.... Not sure how many games he would get with our current setup tho. But its nice to have quality on the bench !
16 Aug 2012 08:44:42
I hope the Adam rumours are true, I watched him play for Scotland last night and he was back to his old self, his passing was world class. Last season Dalgleish tried to change him. Having said that when he scored against Man-ure he was the best player on the park and they went downhill when he got injured last season so get off his back ive liked him since he was at blackpool. Onanother note we should get Rhodes I think hes quality.
Matt_EFC
I love his play also but is team is our rival.And I think our right wing player (full back or winger) is first priority.
Sitea
I like 'Man-ure'. Never heard that one before. Just added it to my vocabulary. Cheers.
Wizard of Osman
I don't rate Charlie Adam better than anything we've already got! At the moment I see him as a one season wonder .. when he had a good year with Blackpool! Our midfielders have been doing it for Everton in the premiership for years. I'd be delighted as anyone if the Adam Johnson loan/signing comes off but if I'm honest I don't like this Charlie Adam rumour. I'd pick Osman over Adam any day of the week
Dog Puke Peter
Best way to get one over our rivals is to turn their cast offs into quality players....thank god we saw past the prejudices and took a chance on Beardsley all those years ago
16 Aug 2012 08:27:15
----fox----
I was the first to post about mirallas, another bit of news I've heard, everton are giving a presentation yo niang about the history of the club and how the club develops players if niang agrees to move to us it will not be till next week.
Matt Phillips is keen to move to Goodson but if niang agrees to sign this is a no go as mirallas will be played as an attacking midfielder.
Adam Johnson is being kept by city as a bargening tool for Ager.
You may have been the first to post about miralles but your million other shouts have been negative nonsense, If you throw enough darts you'll hit the bull eventually doesn't make you a great dart player ! Get my drift ?

Just seen on SSN the Kevin mirallas interview after the Belguim game. "he favours a move to everton rather than arsenal" due to playing time on the pitch he will get... But he didn't look 100% convinced.... I have faith in Moyes but don't trust the "French corpse"...
Keep up the good work.. Brillant site.!!
I just heard that
16 Aug 2012 05:45:35
would love to see this team next year:
gk; howard
rb; hibbert (free kicks)
cb; jags
cb; heitinga
lb; baines
rm; johnson/naismith/whoever
cm; gibson
cm; osman
lm; pienaar
cam; fellaini
cf; jelavic
subs:
garbutt
distin
neville
barkley
geuye
vellios
i think that's a very strong squad.
fellaini's link up with jelavic is excellent. pienaar and baines too.
gibson holding down everything centrally, giving osman so room to create and plays those balls in behind the defence for our wingers.
defence very solid and get some youth running through the team.
would be EXCELLENT
-evertom
Feeling DM. prefer 4-4-2
GK. T.Ho
RB. New/Coleman
LB. Bainsey
CB. Jags
CB. Johnny
RW. Naismith/New
LW. Peanut
FW. Jellyman
FW. Mirallas
Sitea
That's 9 players, missing the centre mids
I'd play:
GK-Howard
RB-Hibbert
CB-Jagielka
CB-Heitinga
LB-Baines
RM-Naismith
CM-Gibson
CM-Fellaini
LM-Pienaar
ST-Jelavic
ST-Mirallas
Sorry forgot CM. Gibbo and Felli.
Sitea
How come everyone's dropping the skipper!? He'd still be my first choice RB unless we buy someone
16 Aug 2012 00:04:56
Is moyes doing a Harry and pinching not one but two players from under wengers big nose
I hope so!!

Fellow evertonians. We have already brought in two relatively big names into our first team so far this window. If things go well and we bring in Miralles and Adam Johnson I am sure not just myself will have a very good feeling about this season. With those signings I think we can push for the top 4-6 positions.
15 Aug 2012 23:58:56
All looking good in the pre-season build up so far. Haven't felt this optimistic since the start of the 86/87 season.
Moody Blue
I couldn't agree with you there haha, i was only born in 1995... haha:) im feeling optimistic aswell though this year!
