Everton Rumours Archive August 12 2014

He ed, been glued to this site for a long time now and over here in ireland I rarely hear of any rumours regarding everton. I've recently heard a rumour and its just a rumour and hopefully that's all it will stay. But i've heard that if Arsenal fail with their attempts to sign Daniel Agger that they will turn to our very own Phil Jagielka. It was also mentioned that RM would consider the move as he's looking for ball playing centre halves and he's not convinced with that jags is that comfortable with the ball at his feet. Hopefully its a load of crap, and as we've proved all summer we're not a selling club. Unlike others!

Doesnt matter if they want him or not, he's said very clearly he would never go to arsenal, he's our captain and is better than both koscielny and mertesacker, he's english too not to mention his outstanding loyalty, they have no chance, let them have liverpools fifth choice centre back, they will have to pay big money for either player, arsene can't risk loaning them, he doesn't do loans does he? Like song, try before you buy, he's a hypocrite, stubborn and above all else? Bitchy

Don't really see jags interesting arsenal or arsenal interesting jags. We'd probably want 10-15m for him which no one would pay. But thanks for passing on the rumour anyway haven't had any decent transfer gossip for ages waiting for henen and atsu is boring.

It's a load of crap.

The original post is a good story for this website - this is a RUMOURS website after all - but I agree with the replying posters who just don't see there being much mileage in this story.
On the other hand, despite RM being (seemingly) over-loyal and sticking with the likes of Robles (and imho one or two other ageing and/or under-performing players), I reckon that he would actually be quite ruthless in moving players in/out if he believed it would leave us with a stronger squad.

If arsenal came in for anyone I would rather it be Alcaraz!! Lol

If a good price could be reached I would go for this before it is too late. I don't understand why Arsenal wouldn't want as ball playing Centre Half though.

I believe alcaraz was sent by epl to destroy everton. that's just my opinion. I hope I never see that guy ever put on a toffees jumper. I was fuming at the tv in that game against man city at the end of last season

You were fuming? I was happy with his performance

ED -Is Atsu confirmed now subject to work permit? will this be the last of the deals done until January now?

{Ed025's Note - the paperwork is not complete yet reefa, but it looks very likely mate, and there are still deals to be done..

Is the only deal to be done you think ed the henan deal or more apart from that

{Ed025's Note - i expect another one at least john, but maybe not before the season starts mate..

Any idea who ed or at least what position you think it will be

{Ed025's Note -i expect one to be a defender john and possibly an attacking mid mate..

Ed025: A defender? I find that surprising, as we look to have plenty in the squad, but what do I know :-)

{Ed025's Note - as much as me i suspect sid, but for me we do need cover for the right side of defence..

Anything on this Henen deal lads? Has BK agreed to pay the £3M + 20% sell on profit?

{Ed025's Note - not yet jay..

If we don't cough up we will definitely regret this one in 4-5 years!

If he's such a hot prospect, why aren't there any rumours about loads of other clubs being in for him? I'm not knocking his qualities (I've never seen him play), but normally there are plenty of rumours about plenty of players during transfer windows, but nothing more than some "interest" by the likes of Arsenal seems to be the size of it.

Why? He has been training with us. We know how much Bobby likes youngsters and if he felt he was special and on a par with Ross for example he would make it happen. If it doesn't happen it's not because we have not scouted or checked him out properly and it won't be money either

Rumour has it eto'o is on his way too Lpool but we are going to try and sign him as backup to Rom.

I just don't see us going for Eto'o, but stranger things have happened.

Hi ed just wondering of any potential transfers regarding Townsend or wickham both seem to be destined to leave this window just think they would both be rest additions and young too.

{Ed025's Note - i cant see any of them coming to us mate, or even leaving their parent clubs for that matter..

12 Aug 2014 13:33:53
Wicham will probably leave, I want neither though, townsend thinks he's robben but will never be fit to lace his boots and wicham had a good month last season, other than that? he's pretty useless and I bet sunderland fans would be over the moon with 6m for him

Remember swan robben at one point thought he was ronaldo at te time he wasn't good enough to lace his boots but now he is after finding his feet at the right club. Who's to say Townsend who has bags of quality couldn't go down the same path at Everton. And with wickham he's the best young English striker out there apart from ings and the Sunderland fans wouldn't be happy with 6 considerin they payed about 6 and there backups altidore ha.

I don't see either of those two players moving to us, but stranger things have happened.

13 Aug 2014 11:23:19
Check the sunderland banter, they would be chuffed with that, townsend literally runs up the wing, cuts in, shoots over the bar, rinse and repeat, he is struggling to get in the tottenham team ahead of a player who missed most of last season, had a couple decent games for qpr vs norwich and fulham, wicham, i'd say, is the only young english striker given a chance, mostly because of how bad the american anichebe is and how injury prone fletcher is, I don't doubt some of our strikers are better, just haven't been put in the squad yet

Got It from A good Source we are in for Nani class addition if we get him

{Ed025's Note - do you think pablo?..lazy man imo mate..

Totally agree Ed.

Also agree past his best

12 Aug 2014 10:58:32
Lazy and selfish, but capable of the spectacular. He'd be he focus a lot more for us than at United and I reckon he could thrive. Martinez got Deulofeu to work hard, and he was notoriously lazy, too.

{Ed025's Note - he would have to take a big wage drop AB, hardly the motivation for an already lazy sod to pull his tripe out mate..

12 Aug 2014 11:12:56
No! Been crap for 3 years and is on massive wages, he's capable of the spectacular, once a season! Not a team player and hasn't progressed in a long time, bad waste of space we should stay away from

Totally agree, swan. he's useless

Didn't think about the wages bit, to be honest. I do genuinely believe there is a world class player in there, but probably not worth the risk. Plus, Moyes (inexplicably) game him a new 5 year contract last year, so he'd likely be overpriced.

I always defer to RM in his recruitment of players, but please not Nani!
