No, not that the athelete with the gold shoes but the midfielder at Man City. We have been linked with him quite a lot in recent weeks with him being identified as one of Moyesie's targets.
I noticed he played for City in the qualifying rounds of the Uefa cup last night in the Faroes. Does anyone know if this means if we did sign him he'd be cup-tied for the Uefa?

Yea he will be cup-tied.
I’ve spoke to City fans who’ve said he’s vastly overrated and a bit of a party animal. I’m not sure on this one. I’ve been impressed when I’ve seen him but I don’t watch him week in week out.
I don’t think we are after him personally and we wouldn’t get him for the reported 6 million anyway. He’s cost around 10-12 million in todays market.
I think there are better options out there to be honest. Cheaper, better more proven players. Johnson’s only in his first season and has been massively overhyped. He has potential but he’s far from being the next Gerrard.
I’d rather have Fernandes.

I think he has just agreed a new contract too.
The rumours started because he and Man City were at odds over a new contract. He wanted £50k a week on the strength of 8 first team games!! Sounds like hes a bit up his own arse and I doubt Moyes would want him.
Whatever happened to our supposed interest in Michael Bradley?
Frederick, you could ask the same question about the other 70 or so players we have been linked with. Just have a look on Bluekipper.
Frederick, thanks for bringing this up. I’ve been wondering the same thing. Even though his most recent stints with the US national team weren’t particularly impressive, he is a great talent, very smart, athletic and talented. I’d still love to see him as a blue, and maybe his less than stellar national performance will help us get him for a discount. Where Arshavin’s stellar euro 2008 skyrocketed his value, bradley could be the exact opposite. A bad game or two doesn’t mean he is a bad player though.
Frederick, I imagine, as Bradley has stated his desire to join us, Moyes is holding out to see if there is a better alternative. If there is not then I would expect to see Bradley in a blue shirt but it makes sense to check the market in full. I thought someone said there would be news in 48 hours, i’m still waiting!
Nick - Yep someone else’s source has let them down, just add them to the growing list.
At times this summer it’s been like a fuckin’ Clairevoyant’s convention on this site !
I remember one notable mystic sage / NOBBER predicting July the 3rd ( for CERTAIN ) for BIG events at Everton before disappearing, never to be heard from again.
I keep reading my tea leaves & checking the tarrot cards. They say Kenright’s skint & nothing will happen until DK goes ahead & we can borrow more against future income on the EFC Barclaycard. I put this to a raincoated fella in a triby hat outside Goodison park. For the price of a bag of Everton mints he gave me the nod I was on the right lines.
You heard it here first on the ’hush,hush’ & the QT ( as the say in all the best film noirs )

Mark Williams, I think we must drink similar tea however my "raincoated fella" wears a trilby hat and he swears somthing big will happen in another 48 hors! Can't wait until the football starts.
I would like to see us make an offer for Kevin Nolan from Bolton and we’d probably get him for about 4 or £5million! He’s supposed to be a Liverpool fan but so was Peter Reid until he seen the light and hopefully he could make the same impact.
Obviously Barry Heyes gets his football knowledge from a merlin sticker album.
Bit off the subject. My fridge has a dial reading 1 - 7. Would 1 or 7 be the coldest? It?s on 4 at the moment and my beer isn?t cold enough!!
On the right subject Johnson would mean an outlay of around £20mil to buy former youth players back. I love the Walter Smith era of not believing in youth. Don?t you?

The 48 hours have passed. I feel such a fool to have been taken in. I'm going to wait another 48 hours just in case, then I?m going to have to go to bed.
And Kev the fridge guy: I'm assuming that 1-7 is degrees Celsius, in which case 1 would be the coldest. If I am wrong send the beers to me and I will chill them in my fridge for you. Mmmmwaaah.

Marc Williams, you might want to stay away from that raincoated fella; I have heard that he?s the Devil. Although I am sure that you and he are on to something. Hopefully, however, this sorry saga won?t end like all the best noirs...
Sean Condon - I think you may be right, he was a soft spoken scouser with grey/white hair, glasses & tried to sell me cheap theatre tickets. Furthermore his eyes flashed red when he spoke of re-locating Everton to ’Hell on earth’ , so he probably was the Devil. Good thing is although initially taken in by his kindly fascade I’ve now seen through his lies.
GET THEE BEHIND ME BILL, er, I mean BEELLZEEBUB !!!
Kev Prytherch - Yours is truely a 21st century post.
In the old days you would hear the cry of ’Is there a doctor in the house’ when an emergency happened. Nowadays it’s obviously ’ IS THERE A FRIDGE TECHNICIAN ON THIS WEBPAGE’ , fantastic ! & so, so modern. Actually this just goes to show how clever we Evertonians are, if you were a Redshite you’d have dialed 999 :
Operator - Hello caller which service do you require ?
Redshite - I don’t know how to work me fridge & me fookin’ beer’s warm !
Operator ( to supervisor ) - That’s the 12th call from the Anfield area already & its only 6pm. I’ve had :
Does me camel toe loowk big in this
’ Candy’ shell suit ?
How do I wipe my own arse ?
What flavour crisps shall I feed my newborn baby ?
Why do I still go to ’special school’ when I’m 36 years old ?
ETC ETC ETC
Oh and some Spanish fella phoned wanting to know ’ Why Martin keeps telling him to fuck off & how much money does he need for his friend Barry ?
Supervisor - I’d put the last twat onto the Samaritan’s, he sounds like a real loser !
