PSG striker Guillaume Hoarau is set to reject offers from Everton and Sunderland to join Chinese Super League side Dalian Aerbin. They have offered to double his wages and if he moves there it obviously proves his motivation is money and not playing football at the highest possible level.

Not surprised, all about the money to footballers seen as though its a job, in another field of work you go where the money is

Strong reports we are in talks to sign Wissam Ben Yedder

BK is at Finch Farm. I have seen this with my own eyes, but nothing concrete about Arabs, i havnt seen any of those around. but it does make you wonder why BK is at Finch Farm given that he rarely visits there & would usually be occupying his office in London on a Friday, his busiest night of the week business wise.

Meeting with David Moyes discussing transfer window targets money and maybe even throw in discussions about moyes's contract these could be all possible reasons why he's there

Strange you say that kenwright wants investment now

As soon kenwright gone the better

He is there more than you think, it doesn't mean a takeover is happening!1 don't believe any of these takeover rumours until it happens

Despite peoples woes about BK and i was dead against Kirkby he only wants Everton passed on to safe hands and not to some short sighted owner. He does not want to be known as the Chairman who sold Everton down the river, and i respect him because of this, and it takes time to find Mr Right so give him some more slack ! {Ed025's Note - well said..

I hope this is true (above) however BK is famously tight, selfish and egotistical in the business he is in (I know this as my uncle is an actor) and the "search for Mr Right" maybe a cover up for the fact he doesn't want to let the club go, especially now we are sitting in 5th I cant see him letting anyone come in and take the club over or even invest for that matter, unfortunately! {Ed025's Note - "i know this as my uncle is an actor"!!!!! i had better watch that my head does not fall off, with the amount of shaking i am doing with it...unbelievable..

i think everton should a look at giuseppe rossi for around 4-5 million.he can play up front, midfield, right wing and is a natural goal scorer

He also has an injury record that could rival Darren Anderton

He's injured and has been for the last 6 months.

Hes signed for fiorentina on a 5year contract. Bill

4-5 million wouldn't buy his boots when fit

Just agreed to join Fiorentina

Since when have you been setting the international price of Italian-American footballers?

Holtbys gone to Spurs! So much for being an EVERTON & Arsenal fan then! Clearly motivated by money as I heard we had made an offer to him.

How do you know he wanted to come to us anyway?

Being a footballer is a job at the end of the day, think of it as being in any other type of employment, you go where the money is and where you can progress your career

Don't care how good he is, i only want players who are committed to the club, if he is the big evertonion he claims, he would never have considered going to spures.

Would have been a good signing but now it's gone lets move on and concentrate on someone else!

It's a job for gods sake, are you telling me you wouldn't accept the best offer on the table? I know i would and the fact that he supported us does not even come into it. IT'S A JOB!

Cheers Ed for Editing my message that sounds a hell of a lot better. Mike B

How do you know we wanted him?

Striker and holding midfielder are what we need and a useful centre back. Mirallas, Naismith, Coleman and big vic can play right wing so we are covered in that position. Need someone to take the burden of scoring goals off Jelavic and someone to cover Gibbo when he is injured. Also Distin cover just in case of injury. Heitinga will probably be the most likely to leave us this month. Vadis looks nailed on, Forren rumours growing regarding signing for us and moyes to get a decent striker in, trust in moyes with that one.

He will sit on the bench at spurs. Won't progress and will leave within 2 seasons. He has wasted 2 years of his development. As a blue, did he not see Lescott, Pienaar and Rodwell? It's not always about who offers the biggest wage!

We probably didn't even go in for him as it was down to a choice between spurs and arsenal. Think the fact he mentioned he followed Everton games because of his dad resulted in us all assuming we was in for him. so not lost out there. We need cover in other areas more. 67k a week ain't half bad.

Somehow i doubt Lescott will have regretted leaving us having won the prem and FA Cup.

Lescott didn't win anything. He WAS a very small part for a short period of a successfull team. He could have been a big part of a potentially successfull team long term, with international prospects due to consistent club form. He will go to Villa and become average...

Out of englands back 4 how many were made england internationals at everton, jags, baines and lescott, 4 out of 3

Just seen some Arabs in outside finch farm could a take over be on the cards ................... Or it may have been some tall kids still in their nativity costumes ? {Ed025's Note - the latter me thinks.. :)

Probably nativity costumes...any wise men around there??

George {Ed025's Note - only BK.. :)

i live 2 mins from finch farm there always goin past them lot i think there lost {Ed025's Note - or it could be a mirage?..

Tell the truth lol is this true yes or no about seeing Arabs outside finch farm {Ed025's Note - its a no from me..

So is there definitely arbs there then? {Ed025's Note - take no notice..

Ok ed are you ruling this out all together there wasent Arabs. At finch farm today? {Ed025's Note - yes..im ruling it out!..

So was you at finch farm today then? {Ed025's Note - no mate...just the real world..

Just hope it wasn't a certain Arab after Fellaini.

Everton are eyeing up a six-month loan deal for Man City winger Scott Sinclair.

This can't happen. You can sign for 3 clubs but only play for 2 in any given season. Won't, can't, will defo not happen. Ed can you confirm? {Ed025's Note - your right mate..

I thought on loan didn't count {Ed025's Note - i think it does mate..

No thanks would rather have lescott

Isn't the amnesty for loan maximums classed as the turn of the year. Had this debate last week and my mate seemed certain..

Everton are the front runner to sign Forren

Looks back on which is great news. Jol said Fulham have not made a bid. Can moyes do it again and get another player from under London clubs noses!

gueye heitinga mucha all being sold

How much have we got to spend Ed? Must have 5 million at least surely. {Ed002's Note - I would not want to suggest a figure but I suspect a loan or two might be being considered for January.}

ED, are you just going to regurgitate what DM and the papers have been quoting for ages?

Looking at the figure that came out today, it appears that 5 mil is around the figure we have to spend on wages. So it makes sense to say loans.

Why not just say that?

Ever-loyal-Everton fan circa 1984 {Ed025's Note - i think he did mate..

Behind the scenes moyes is trying to get some of the tv money coming our way next season to invest now and push for champions league. He is then due to sign his contract in feb so if he is backed in Jan he will sign. 10 years commitment and a total transformation of a struggling team to top 6 easy and playing great stuff, it's about time moyes made some demands to the board. He is well within his right too. Give moyes 10mill and its like giving any other manager 50mill. Publicly moyes doesn't want to get fans hopes up and also let other clubs know we have money to spend. It wouldn't surprise me if we sign Forren for 4 mill. I think heitinga will go. Even if we get 2 loans and Forren I would be happy. No matter what happens we have tv money guaranteed next season, potential income from Europe and if worst happens sell a player. I can't see a negative here apart from board not making funds available now for that push for top 4. {Ed025's Note - good post that mate..

Everton are maybe stretching there budget as they look at Nani after he was thought to be unsettled OR Baines to Man U for a Nani and some cash added to the deal?

No thanks!!

I'd rather lose Fellaini than Baines. Baines is the family silverware, can't afford to let him go. As for Nani, thanks but NO thanks, vastly over-rated player, Mirallas and Pienaar are better. {Ed025's Note - i agree..

Surely to replace baines we would need a player who can guarantee 20 odd assists a year... nani is not that player

04 Jan 2013 18:02:10
From inside manchester united I know this is going to happen sooner or later, Nani's agent is in talks with everton for a player + cash including Baines.

Spurs have offered Holtby 67k a week deal according to German newspapers.
