Ed what are the chances that we will go for Niang? {Ed025's Note - i would say very good, but in the end its up to moyes, if we want him...we will get him..

Listening to an interview with Leon Osman on the radio earlier. He was saying how him and Hibbert used to play together in the middle! Hibbo started as a winger then played in the middle then ended up at right back eventually. Osman was laughing about how he's always had massive competition in his position but keeps plugging away. What legends these two really are. Blues through and through. You can't buy that!

Eds and fellow blues, I had only briefly watched one vid on you tube of Miralles, however now that things seem all but signed and sealed I have taken the time to peruse more footage of his control and goals.

I can only use the words of Shakespeare

" F##k me sideways this kids freakin' awesome, I've messed me kecks", please please God make sure he passes the medical !

Ed what are our odds for the title , I feeling a flutter coming on

Your usually reserved but now ever so excited

here's a few stats for you fellow blues about kevin mirallas..

he had a goal ratio last season of 2 goals every 3 games, which is pretty good..

he was the leading goalscorer with 20 goals in the greek league representing olympiacos.

in 2 years at olympiacos he has scored 34 goals in 52 games.

he was signed by olympiacos from saint-ettiene for €2,5m..

hope this info gives you a bit more info about mirallas..

Big olympiakos fan here, don't get me wrong Mirallas is a good player but the Greek league is very weak compared to the PL, he never made it in the French league so don't expect him to be a big star I suppose time will show,good luck on ur new signing

Believable4 Unbelievable5

Yes agree there. But he will.Learn , is young and talented.

Agree0 Disagree0

From what i've seen from mirallas, he has skill and pace.. if your a skilful player, your gonna be good anywhere you go.. he ain't gonna be another bilyaletdinov, he gonna be a next everton legend, well hopefully haha

Great news about mirallas think this is the est team we've had in a long long time but is mirallas a striker or a wing and will Naismith play wing or centre forward?
Blue D {Ed025's Note - mirallas can do both...moyes big problem now, will be who to leave out, as we will have a plethora of talent up top, and in midfield ...top 4...be afraid...be very afraid..

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Mirallas is a winger that can play on both wings but can also play upfront. I believe moyes will play him RM and him and peanuts will switch sides during games as we usually do

He's hardly a rs 'reject' that's like calling Rooney an everton reject he went on to a better thing and Torres looks like his normal self again and I think he will have a very good season this year if Chelsea adapt their style and don't continue to play on the counter it worked fur them in the champions league but they're much better then to do that week in week out in the Epl

Signings or no signings this is the best starting 11 and most exciting squad we have had under lord Davey. Monday is going to be epic, the season is going to blow our minds, the champions league awaits and Rodders, Arteta et al will be gutted they have missed the awesomeness of Goodison on a champions league night as Peanuts threads it through to Jellyman and the Gladys Street net buldges and Barca dont know what to do.
Ok getting ahead of myself but it's going to be our best prem season to date mark my words.

Not everton related but i am so surprised that Southampton are gonna sign Gaston Ramires and it makes it even better that they got him from under the rs noses ha ha. i think they could be a force to rekon with this season with the likes of Lalana, Gaston Ramires and Rodriguez.

Back to everton, I (along with everyone else) want Mirallas to sign. I even like it that hee has a bit of an ego because you need someone like that in the dressing room plus he's not destruptive (like drenthe). I actually cannot wait for monday. COYB

Ed, I need to get this off my chest.

Over the past few summers we have seen DM saying there is no money for new players, we are looking at the loan market, the money from so and so will go to the banks.

This summer we have signed the one player we all wanted for a fee, another player touted as the best north of the border for free. Sold a player who I really liked but not a first 11 for 12m minimum. And according to DM we will sign another 2 at least. All this after an amazing December TW. The 2 transfers we are looking at have been courted by the CL clubs all summer.

As a result of this I cannot accept the reason for any negative posts, I will expect a different start to the season, and I will expect Euro footy come 2013/2014.

Honestly Eds and fellow toffees has there been a better summer over the last 5 years??

Come on let's get behind the team. Let's make man u hate all 90+ mins on Monday night.

We are Everton, we are proud of our history and right now excited about our future.

Just come back from LA and was speaking to a friend who works for the LA Kings and he advised that the owner Philip Anschultz is looking to invest in a premier league team and he heard that it was us. With the success of the Kings winning the Staney Cup and LA Galaxy winning the MLS cup is keen for more success and has set his sights on the premier league.
He tried to invest with Spurs but after his plans for the Olympic Stadium fell through he has turned his attention to us.
It could also mean getting Landon signed permanently in January as its unlikely to be completed before the end of August.

17 Aug 2012 18:32:07
I believe the reason why we haven't signed Adam Johnson is that Mirallas is number 1 choice and if it doesn't come off then we will sign AJ just can't see signing both. In addition to them we will sign a striker I got a feeling we might go for defoe on loan. I think a lot depends on each deal if we have got £12m to spend if we spend £6m on Mirallas maybe another £6m on Niang and a loan. Or if we don't sign Mirallas and get AJ on loan we might spend the bulk of it on a striker. In the past seasons we have always used the 3 loaned players to the max and I fully expect us to have 3 this time.

Robbie {Ed025's Note - good post that robbie

Is it just me or are there more rs posters on our site than ever before?
What are the reasons for this?
I think its because a few weeks ago they were gonna be world beaters cos they were signing Gaston Ramirez and some fella called Kevin Mirallas.
It now turns out that all they got was some guy called Osama Assassin and they're a bit miffed.

U actually think Liverpool will finish above arsenal?? Just cos they have sold RVP doesn't mean they have a bad team they have heavily invested in some quality players this season. I can't see them winning he league but they will still be a huge force in the EPL {Ed0e..25's Note - i agree mat

Agree0 Disagree0

We'll see who is right come end of the season- but it will be me, i really do think its gonna be a tough year for the arse...

Agree0 Disagree0

It all depends on how Podolski performs-i honestly dont think Giroud and Cazorla will make a huge impact in the League, and losing your best player-the guy that carried the whole team last year-is gonna make a huge difference to the rest of the squad.

Agree0 Disagree0

Well lets look at the facts then, a top heavy team thats totally useless without the ball signs 3 more attacking players, 2 of which will easily get bullied out of premier league games, they are about to lose probably their best holding player, the 1 attacking player that had the ability to pop up and get something out of a game that was going away from them has been sold, and u think they will be a force?? Hmmm.....

I am a Liverpool fan (awaits the insults), but I agree with you. Rodgers signings seems much better than Kennys. Young talented players instead of overpaid ones. If you manage to get Mirallas and Niang then they will be good buys and should be a good season for both clubs. I think Liverpool 5th Everton 6th.

reasonable post mate, i agree, should Everton get a couple of good signings in (including Mirallas) I think Everton & Liverpool will be further up the table pushing for Europe. I think the lowest either team will finish is probably 7th...

Billy Butler is a deluded broadcaster who, for the past several years, has simmered with resentment that he's not become a nationally known figure. OK, Cilla nicked a load of his "hold yer plums" materiel on Wogan & went on to national fame. I think this really affected Butler, but he seems to have become an arrogant prima donna who thinks that all Meseyside hangs on his every word.

If Adam Johnson was going to sign, I am pretty sure Mancini would have wanted him available to play against Manchester United on Monday. I know that Johnson wages will be a stumbling block but as in all loan deals, teams negotiate what percentage of the wage each club pays. I'd love to see AJ here but, time seems to be dragging on.

Also hearing from the horses mouth that we hope to add 'at least' two more faces before the window shuts! Shame we couldn't have the benefit of them for Monday night but if Moyes is as successful as he hopes with those additions, we will be strong this season for sure. Real significant stuff today lads!

Now i have it on very good authority, from an extremely reliable source that, we will either sign one or two players, sign one and loan one one, loan two, sign 3, sign two loan 1, or we wont sign anyone or loan anyone. This information is 100% accurate and very exciting.

Thanks MicktheBrick some people just can't take a joke.
All I was getting at was if we do or don't sign anyone this is s great little squad we have and a really really strong starting 11. This season to be Moyes' best. Get in there blue boys, it's going to be special on Monday night, flying over from stockholm so it better be.

He wont be able to play against united now if he signs before then. They had to be registed before noon today

For us & united it should of been that they had to be registered noon on Sunday....you know, noon on the day before the match... {Ed025's Note - it has to be within working hours, so if he joins monday..he can play....but would he be put straight in?...doubt it..

hello I am a life-long Blue living in Bern, Switzerland. This is not a rumour but a recommendation - Pirmin Schwegler from Eintracht Frankfurt. He has played about 10 times for Swiss national side and could be a cheap replacement for Rodwell. Many thanks, Christian.

Dont need to spend money to replace Rodwell I could replace him Im more than capable of turning up for physio work and sitting my a*se on the bench every week I could even stretch to a forward pass or two. :P

Wish everyone would stop sayin the banks take money off us! They do not demand money when we already make the agreed payments
The club may pay some outstanding debt off to help make the books look better but it's a choice by everton football club as long as our payments are met we are safe.

Ant Wharton

Believable2 Unbelievable0

Thats what ive been saying for weeks, its entirely up to Everton football club to pay larger amounts off the loan if they decide to, its not up to the bank to say right you just got 12 mil for a player, we want half of that, that just doesn't happen, so dont know were everyone is gettin otherwise from.

Hey Big C, I'm not rs at all, I'm a regular poster to this site (who's remaining anonymous on this occasion) who's got bored sitting on his sun bed drinking Mythos so thought he'd see if he could get a spoof name posted on his favourite Everton site.
I used a greek place name for the forename and a greek dish as the surname, i.e. lindos kleftika or athenia mezes. Hope I haven't caused any offence but I'm bored stupid and wondering how I managed to let myself get talked into going away just as the season is about to start.
ps according to the bar staff here the greek media are reporting that Miralles (spelling) is in favour of Goodison and not the Emirates.

How do you know there was a press conference?
Niallefc94

Agree0 Disagree0

You do realise that if asked Moyes will probably give a generic line, for example "I don't wish to talk about another clubs player." I wouldn't expect anything to shocking or revealing to be said, after all it is David Moyes and he likes to keep his card close to his chest

Agree0 Disagree0

Just got back from holiday early this morning and I hear weve sold Rodwell got first refusal on Johnson,close to signing Mirrales and taken Niang on trial and I missed Hibberts first goal! Anyway Ed what are the chances of us signing Niang and/or Mirrales?

I can see us winning on Monday...one big hope for the season would be if we get one ahead, that we go for the jugular instead of sitting back and saying in the post match interview....." we expected the opposition to come out flying after the break"......we need to score and then have sufficient confidence that we can go on and score more.....how often have we sat in the stands nervously because for an unknown reason we take our foot off the pedal after inching ahead...this should be the season of self belief.....go and kill off teams be they Southampton or Man Utd
Oscar

Believable2 Unbelievable0

All very true Oscar. In the past I think we've always doubted our own goal scoring capabilities and thats why we've sat back. This time round we have the likes of Jelavic and Naismith that will give us that confidence to go and get more. If we can secure the Mirallas deal, that will just add to that confidence. It's all looking good Oscar. Nice post mate.

Hey ed do you think moyes has been given all the Rodwell money to reinvest? Also do you think that kenwright has given moyes everything he possibly can to make a real go at reaching Europe again! All or nothing type scenario! Just with the latest links it seems like something is going on and a serious push for European football is being mounted! What's your thoughts? {Ed051's Note - I do

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Yeah, i can really see th bank standing for that. Some will have gone to the bank, they aren't a charity.

Agree0 Disagree0

I agree that they are not a charity, but we have fixed payments. If you have a mortgage and you get a bit of extra cash your mortgage payments don't increase. You can make extra payments if you wish but the bank can't force you to

Personally i don't mind if we don't sign mirallas until next week because we have a strong enough team already to kick start the season ( bar injuries) and i am pretty sure we will beat the mancs anyway. Oh and i hope we do sign him cos the lad is absolute quality.

why cant we sign mirallas as a striker and adam johnson as a winger people saying we wont sign both, we need another striker, also annoyed no deals have been done yet, the (first refusal story) broke last week and we should have had him signed by now to play on monday

I think people are worrying too much about signing Mirallas today, I think it will happen, but even if he is signed by 12 noon, I'd doubt Moyes would play him on Monday he always gives new signings a few weeks before playing them in the first team. Pops {Ed025's Note - you may be right pops..

Believable1 Unbelievable0

Gibson went straight into the starting 11. So did Jelly and Peanuts.

Agree0 Disagree0

If we did manage to pull it off in time for Monday, I would like to see the lad on the bench for this one. Imagine the impact of him coming on with 20 mins or so to go, their defenders wouldn't know what hit em.

WtG.

Agree0 Disagree0

Jelly came off the bench in his first game... pienaar is a slightly different story given he was at the club for a significant period of time. Not exactly a new signing

Agree0 Disagree0

17 Aug 2012 07:58:34
Fingers crossed today for a signing what time is the deadline today for anyone to sign to play monday ?
If mirallas signs I dont think he would start straight away anyway. Has anyone else wondered that Moyes went to watch Belgium to try and tie up the mirallas deal but Niang has been on trial at FF means he cant see for himself and it doesnt make niang feel very wanted either hope we havent put all our eggs in one basket and comes back to bite us. dont get me wrong moyes has probably said mirallas is priority over niang and got staff to report back to him over niang, but dont think niang will be to impressed.

Robbie

Believable1 Unbelievable1

I doubt Niang's trial (training) will last all day & all night so pretty sure Moyes could get a flight to Belgium & back without missing any training at Finch Farm.

Bit worried about this Mirallas transfer , seems to have gone very quiet about it, doesn't even get mentioned on the radio now, in my own mind I dont think it will happen, hope I'm wrong though {Ed025's Note - i still believe we will get him mate, these things take a bit more time than people think..

Believable0 Unbelievable0

I tend to agree with the post. Our club seems to keep quiet on these things and the first we know is when its completed. Unless the player releases it to the press. Then the transfer usually sudenly changes and Newcastle, Spurs or Arsenal step in. Lets wait and see. Degsy

Agree0 Disagree0

People seriously need to calm down and learn to be patient, the lad himself has said he will go back to Greece and mull over the offers on the table. People expect deals to be done straight away, it aint that simple. Just be patient, whatever happens, happens.
