The Mail Bag

Manny

Although Manuel Fernandes' loan spell ended at the end of the season and he is now considered a Benfica player why does the Everton FC website bring us news of his appearance in the U21's for Portugal ? After reading Dave Prentice's column in the Echo it would appear that Benfica's prohibitive transfer fee demand and his shared ownership looked likely to scupper any permanent deal with a further loan increasingly unlikely.

The wall of silence continues to cast a long shadow over any transfer activity concerning Everton, maybe Moyes is at the U21 scouting and will base his decision concerning Fernandes on his subsequent performances. Either Everton still have eyes for Manny or the PR machine at the Club likes to generate publicity for a player who we have no intention of signing, which to be honest wouldnt be the first time.

The prospect of another loan spell being hammered out still seems the most likely outcome by all accounts. If true, that would explain a lot.
