Just heard on Sky Sports News that the Yak deal is off and now Moyes has turned his attention to Wagner Love who plays for CSKA Moscow. Ive seen bits and pieces of this fella play and he looks a quality player so Im quite happy (if it happens!)

wagner love is awful an a donkey. similar to heskey. dnt want him at all.

Roy coyne
3 Posted 20/08/2007 at 17:33:01

I am not that bothered about the Yak but hope some decent signings happen soon

Shaka Islam
4 Posted 20/08/2007 at 17:34:46

The Yak failed his medical. X-ray resaults show his bones are about hundred years old. His the same age as Martins. Yak says his 24 but his medical records show his been around since world war 2.

Martins made his debut for Inter Milan in 1999 but his still only 22!!!

Shaka Islam
5 Posted 20/08/2007 at 17:37:08

Is the Loverman any good.

seany
6 Posted 20/08/2007 at 17:42:19

wagner or vagna to his mates is quality pure quality hes bout 10 times beteer than heskey the fuckkin donkey boy.. i will be very suprised if the club we all love can get actually get there finger out n buy a player of his quality to be honest we cant even agree on bringin in a player who wants to join (manny fernandez)the boys quality c?mon moyes sort it will ya :(....

James Ainscough

Sean,

Vagner-Love is quality! plain and simple!

How the fuck do you get in the brazilian National squad let alone starting 11 if your a donkey??

He?s class! I watched him in europe last season and in the Copa America and he skinned people for fun and scores enough goals!

His team Moscow win trophies with him and Jo upfront!

Yakubu has a good record and i?d be glad to have him but you can get anelka for £12m, NO CONTEST!

Sayin Vagner-Love is a donkey shows that you have no clue about footy at all!

turn it in!

Shaka Islam
9 Posted 20/08/2007 at 17:50:54

Wouldn?t Alves be a better deal. The striker Boro are going for. I think Moyes should hijack the deal just to get one over Southgate and Boro. Barcelona and Mancs where linked with Alves earlier in the summer.

Allan Hobbs
10 Posted 20/08/2007 at 17:56:13

Wagner Love isn?t much from what Ive seen of him; silly name, silly hair, silly boy. I think we should sign Andy Gray.

Steve Claringbold
11 Posted 20/08/2007 at 17:59:58

Isn’t Alves going to Chelsea for something like 20 mill?

Hmmm Chelsea or Middlesborough, where should I go?

Allan Hobbs
12 Posted 20/08/2007 at 18:01:38

They?re after you as well Steve? Jesus, the plot thickens!

Oh by the way, my Nan is STILL out of contract.

Steve
13 Posted 20/08/2007 at 18:01:17

Well we enjoyed our little publicity stunt while it lasted didnt we?.. Regarding the Yakubu deal..Kept us talking until the stadium issue arises in September..Kenwright/Wyness muppet wankers without the slighest clue..

Tom Lynch
14 Posted 20/08/2007 at 18:01:22

Usual bullshit from this club. They probally staged this just to build our hopes up. If Johnson gets injured our only striker is Faddy. Good state of affairs. Anybody who would vote yes to Kirby and allow this bunch move the club needs their heads examined. They are a disgrace

Toffee
15 Posted 20/08/2007 at 18:03:55

Steve Claringbold,

Thats Daniel Alves who chelsea want mate. The right back/winger

the striker is afonso alves from herenveen.

goals record is unreal but it is the dutch league?

Steve Claringbold
16 Posted 20/08/2007 at 18:07:17

So many Alves,.

The Chelsea one will be good.

The Boro one is probably shit though is he?

Boro offered me a deal last week, I told them there was no way I was joining unless they took Allan’s Nan on an apprenticeship.

Martin Handley
17 Posted 20/08/2007 at 17:55:32

Sky have withdrawn the Yakubu off story after his agent confirms Everton & Boro have reached a comprimise fee (undisclosed) but the educated guess is around £11.5 mill.
But it is silly season out there so it’s anybodys guess!!

Toffee
18 Posted 20/08/2007 at 18:12:15

THE bORO LOOKS GOOD! HIGHEST SCORER IN EUROPE LAST SEASON WITH 32 LEAGUE GOALS IN 34 GAMES!!

ITS S SHAME YOU DIDNT INSIST THEY TOOK TONY MARSH ON A FREE.

Toffee
19 Posted 20/08/2007 at 18:13:50

Bastard!

I was getting excited about Vagner then!!!

I’ll take yakubu though!

11.5 is still alot, i’d rather have le sulk!

anyone agree?

Steve Claringbold
20 Posted 20/08/2007 at 18:16:37

I’d take Anelka, but then you have to take all of his baggage as well.

Would he fit into our team ethos?

Toffee
21 Posted 20/08/2007 at 18:17:44

I was watching "the final word" after the liverpool game and Jamie redknapp was going on about how much of a nice guy he is and liverpool loved having him around the place.

Garry speed also thinks the same so ..........

George
22 Posted 20/08/2007 at 18:06:18

Since when had the club or anybody from the club ever officially stated that we were ever interested in Yakubu and that a deal was imminent. Sorry Tom Lynch, but when you build up your own expectations always be prepared for them to less than graceful knocked down.

Also, haha! (at Shaka Islam’s first post). I’m actually suprised the X-ray didn’t show up the lead cannonball lodged in his pelvis(which explains why he can’t jump) which he picked up from the Crimea.

Gavin Harris
23 Posted 20/08/2007 at 18:24:29

Cant believe we missed out on Santa Cruz of blackburn. 3.5M what a bargin!

ViV
24 Posted 20/08/2007 at 18:12:47

There is no news online about the deal being off that I can find.
Having had the move talked about on match of the day, all over the net and in the papers, surely the board know how pathetic they will look by cheaping out at the last minute! If the Yak doesn’t want to come, thats one thing, but for us to cop out over the price is going to lose the board a lot (more)respect, popularity and sway. Can they really afford that!? here’s hoping that they are not really THAT crap!

George
25 Posted 20/08/2007 at 18:20:36

Ah fuck! Is this agent confirmation thing true? If so I apologetically withdraw my previous statement...apart form Yakubu leading the charge of the light brigade part.

yakubu
26 Posted 20/08/2007 at 18:30:37

i am only 26 honest - ask Daniel Amokachi - he will tell you i dont lie.

Steve Claringbold
27 Posted 20/08/2007 at 18:33:59

George, Everton confirmed that they had indeed enquired about Yakubu but that no offer had been made.

Shaka
28 Posted 20/08/2007 at 18:32:06

Another report suggests the deal fell through because of his wage demands. Maybe Kenwright should lift the salary cap of £45 a week and we might acutally sign a few players!!!

Allan
29 Posted 20/08/2007 at 18:37:15

Ahem....look hard enough and you can find anything on t’internet..

http://www.inthenews.co.uk/news/autocodes/premiership-teams-2007-2008/middlesbrough/yakubu-move-everton-off-$1124007.htm

Oh by the way Steve - my Nan says you can whistle mate if you think she’s cleanin your damn boots for 3 years before she even gets a sniff of the first team.

She’s off to Chelsea with the Alves family.

Daniel Amokachi
30 Posted 20/08/2007 at 18:34:42

It’s true, Yakubu is only 26.........or so his grandkids tell me. :-)

Steve Claringbold
31 Posted 20/08/2007 at 18:40:46

Hey Allan, if your Nan’s off to Chelsea when she falls over in the box with no-one around her do you think Rob Styles will give her a penalty?

Not that I was bothered like, I loved seeing Rafa’s face when he gave it.

Allan
32 Posted 20/08/2007 at 18:44:28

Well its fair to say that she’s always ’havin a fall’ if you catch my drift, so she’s experienced at spending time on the floor so Mr Styles will no doubt be giving them many a penalty sometime soon.

As for Benitez’ face; I hate seeing it generally, but seeing him seeth at the weekend was very funny, especially when Saint Jose of West London came on and said his team were honest as the day is long.....honest guv!

Quality telly.

Martin Handley
33 Posted 20/08/2007 at 18:39:54

One of the clubs PR staff has hinted at a big press call on Weds or Thursday this week to announce 3 major signings so let’s just wait and see.
Any bets on Manny,Matt Taylor & Big Dunc making a suprise comeback anybody?

yakubu
34 Posted 20/08/2007 at 18:45:53

Amo - have you still got that driving licence we use? I need it for one of my boyz in the hood - he has been accused of being 28 - cheeky bastards - he is only 19 - so what he has three kids - he was an early developer.

George
35 Posted 20/08/2007 at 18:38:01

Yakubu, I’ll love to believe you but Lord Alfred Tennyson(C’mon he’s a Lord would he lie!) has pinpointed your exact location on October 25th 1854 to Balaklava, Russia. He’s even enshrined it in song and verse;
"Cannon to right of them,
Cannon to left of them,
Cannon in front of them
Volley’d and thunder’d
Forward, the Light Brigade!"
there was no man dismay’d?
for no soldier knew
how decipher Yakubu’s real age:

Thanks for the head’s up, Steve. I had originally thought the Yakubu deal was a stroy which had gathered steam through the local & national press.

Kraxpot
36 Posted 20/08/2007 at 18:54:00

Where’s Fernandes anyway???????

Steve Claringbold
37 Posted 20/08/2007 at 18:55:18

Fernandes is in Wyness’ boot, they’re keeping him until the day of the vote count for the feelgood factor.

Let’s hope Bully’s got airholes in there.

Rob Sawyer
38 Posted 20/08/2007 at 18:40:52

Gents,
How many times have you heard of a deal being 100% "off" only for it to become "on" again very quickly? Think of Dyer to West Ham.
I’m not personally desperate for Yakubu to sign for us but I would be amazed if he was still at Boro by the 31st August.
He’ll end up here or maybe Portsmouth/West Ham if he prefers a move down south.

Allan
39 Posted 20/08/2007 at 19:08:16

I hope he doesnt end up here, he should be out playing football with the other boys not pissing about on t’internet.

Shaka
40 Posted 20/08/2007 at 19:06:18

Yakubu and Amokachi, Is it true you two are over hundred years old? Rumour has it that you two even fought the Germans....I wish i was born in Nigeria!!!!!

Steve Claringbold
41 Posted 20/08/2007 at 19:09:57

At least if he’s on here, he’s not out on the lash like AVDM.

Or "Visiting his baby girl" as he likes to call it.

Jay Bernard
42 Posted 20/08/2007 at 19:09:52

what is it with Nigerian players and ages. I have heard all kinds of rumours about Martins’ real age hearing aat first he was 28 haha, then 22. Now Yakubu who i thought was about 29 is 24!!!1 What is the world coming too when you dont know a players age.

Shaka
43 Posted 20/08/2007 at 19:23:29

It’s got me thinking if there’s issues with Martins and yak’s age. Then where does that leave Yobo? How old his he realy? Maybe big Vic is 35!!

Daniel Amokachi
44 Posted 20/08/2007 at 19:23:35

It’s not just us Nigerians who get confused about ages - apparently, Arjen Robben is only 23!

The Latch
45 Posted 20/08/2007 at 19:19:16

I’ve looked it up and have the facts so can we stop all this silly talk about ages.

Yakubu - DOB 05/08/60

He’s 47 FACT !!

Steve Claringbold
46 Posted 20/08/2007 at 19:27:22

AVDM has just sent me a text message: Apparently he’s 25.

Steve Claringbold
47 Posted 20/08/2007 at 19:28:51

Apologies, I’ve just received another one which has the complete sentence:

I’m on pint 25.

Shaka
48 Posted 20/08/2007 at 19:30:50

What’s happened to Manny???

Steve Claringbold
49 Posted 20/08/2007 at 19:32:53

Shaka,

I think Wyness is holding him to ransom until the great vote count day. Then he can wheel him out when the yes votes have been counted and verified and everyone will be happy and there’ll be fluffy bunnies and rainbows and cute cats and stuff.
What a day that will be.

The Latch
50 Posted 20/08/2007 at 19:33:54

After leaving the Stone Roses he went on to play bass with Primal Scream.

Good change he was as Tony Wilsons’ funeral today I would imagine.

Steve
51 Posted 20/08/2007 at 19:34:29

Steve, I think if the stadium votes fall through, i got a feeling that Wyness and Bk will spit the dummies out. All the deals will be called off. Arteta will be sold next year.

By the way there’s alot of big clubs looking at Mr Loverman including Bayern Munich. What chance have we got of signing him? Speacially with our incompetant board

Allan
52 Posted 20/08/2007 at 19:39:21

We’re signing Shaggy as well now? Fuck me this gets weirder by the second.

They call me Mr Boombastic...

Steve Claringbold
53 Posted 20/08/2007 at 19:40:26

Steve, The stadium votes won’t fall through, there’s no third party to verify them.

Steve Claringbold
54 Posted 20/08/2007 at 19:41:39

Allan,

Mr Loverman was ShabbaRanks.

Shaggy was Mr Lover Lover.

Shaka
55 Posted 20/08/2007 at 19:42:12

No third party to count the votes. Kirkby residents. The circus is coming to town.

Shaka
56 Posted 20/08/2007 at 19:49:12

I’ve figured it out. The Manny deal is being done the Everton way. Errmm, no, that can’t be right everyone knows about it. I give up!!!

Steve Claringbold
57 Posted 20/08/2007 at 19:52:57

If the stadium vote is a no, I predict that Bully will drag Manny out a’la Bullseye:

"Here’s what you could have won."

Shaka
58 Posted 20/08/2007 at 19:57:56

Where’s that lad who said his friend saw Manny in Nandos and has a pic of him?

Allan
59 Posted 20/08/2007 at 20:03:31

I have a picture of me with Roy Castle from years ago in a hotel lobby - does that help at all Shaka?

Ste Bradbury
60 Posted 20/08/2007 at 20:03:37

I’m here Shaka mate , what more evidence do you need ? Just to repeat folks . My mate was in a restaurant called Nandos on Friday . The picture is on NSNO under the link Manny in Nanados Friday . Manny advised he has already signed , paperwork just needs to be completed . No POO folks

Steve Claringbold
61 Posted 20/08/2007 at 20:07:48

Dedications what you need Allan.

Shaka, Andy Baker had the picture he posted the pic of the lad on NSNO under his profile or something.

Shaka
62 Posted 20/08/2007 at 20:06:08

Allan, I got a pic with me Nugent and Steven Taylor in the back. I’ve also met a few Newc players over the years in the clubs on Fri Sat and Sunday nights. The likes of Dyer, Bowyer, Jenas, Solano, Ameobi, Carl Cort and a few others. There u go that should help you.

Shaka
63 Posted 20/08/2007 at 20:11:32

Ste, i believe you. Just can’t find the link.

Steve Claringbold
64 Posted 20/08/2007 at 20:14:29

You met Dyer, Bowyer and Jenas.

It’s crap innit, the people you meet when you haven’t got a weapon.

Ste Bradbury
65 Posted 20/08/2007 at 20:13:14

Try this folks . If it doesnt work just scroll down under NSNO Forum topics and you will see the Mannny in Nando’s topic ..

http://www.nsno.co.uk/e107_plugins/forum/forum_viewtopic.php?295308.last

Shaka
66 Posted 20/08/2007 at 20:16:47

Steve, seriously i’ve met all the black newc players in the clubs. There always out in the R’n’B clubs. Outside one club Dyer tried to jump the que by offerring him £20. The bouncer gladly told him to goto the back of the que. So Dyer burnt the £20. Cheeky cunt!!

Andy Walker
67 Posted 20/08/2007 at 20:21:10

Neville and Carsley in midfield all season, real attacking flair!

S Ranks
68 Posted 20/08/2007 at 20:05:36

I think we should forget yakubu and go for Alfonso and Daniel.

Now that would be a game of two Alves...

Shabba.

Ste Bradbury
69 Posted 20/08/2007 at 20:37:37

Chaps this is typical EFC !!!!
IMHO I feel there are better value players than yakubu , 12m is a lot of dough, however he represents a package that cannot be compared anywhere else at the moment (ie prem goals etc) . His temperment leaves a lot to be desired and he doesnt seem to have any loyalty !! Fernandes is sorted trust me !! i will never show my face again if this doesnt come off !!

Shaka
70 Posted 20/08/2007 at 21:18:11

Ste i owe you an apology.

Ste Bradbury
71 Posted 20/08/2007 at 21:19:44

No apology needed mate . I feel as frustrated as anyone but I know this one is nailed on ! not too sure about the yak deal though . Anything above 10 mil for him is ridiculous considering EFC dont have money to burn !

sean
72 Posted 20/08/2007 at 21:20:43

RE: toffee. mate im not messin but av u actually seen this fella play. hes a flash in the pan with the odd bit of skill and has an average goal record for his country. btw who else besides adriano is an out and out striker for brazil that he can compete with? even some1 as bad as peter crouch shows flashes of quality that he really doesnt hav. wagner love controls the ball with his shin an wud not hack the pace of the premiership.fact. but tbh we wudnt even sign him. if we did it wud be no more than an act of desperation.

Shaka
73 Posted 20/08/2007 at 21:24:20

Nice one Ste. With all these people coming on here and saying they know a DJ who knows some one at the Marriot and so on. You can see why i didn’t believe ya.

Shaka
74 Posted 20/08/2007 at 21:29:37

12mill for the Yak is too much.

Franny Porter
75 Posted 20/08/2007 at 21:25:11

Ive heard from a reliable source that if it is a ’no vote’ we wont be getting yak, manny or mr loverman, in fact I hear we are making a move for the little known striking duo of Chaka Demus & Pliers

Allan
76 Posted 20/08/2007 at 21:38:49

Will he be wearing Chaka or Deamus on his back?

Franny Porter
77 Posted 20/08/2007 at 21:57:19

IT will actually be "& Pliers" on his back, squeeze a few more quid out of us on replica shirts.

Dutch Schaffaer
78 Posted 20/08/2007 at 22:16:12

Never liked the idea of Moyes signing Yakubu so I’m not disappointed if the deal falls through.

If we have £12 million to spend then I’m sure a better player can be found. I’d be happy if Moyes drafted in a cheap/loan emergency striker and waited until Xmas before spending big.

Karl Jones
79 Posted 20/08/2007 at 22:41:57

"Pliers" would be a good signing as his real name is Everton Bonner. Give him the number 9 shirt.

Franny Porter
80 Posted 20/08/2007 at 22:52:22

Karl Jones,

hats off to you for the most random bit of information Ive ever seen on Toffeeweb!

I heard Shabba Ranks is actually called Shabba Latchford Bellefield Chang Ranks.

David Barks
81 Posted 21/08/2007 at 03:33:25

12.5 Million for Yakubu is too much. 11 Million would have been acceptable I suppose, but Wagner Love is absolute quality. I watched him in every game for Brazil in the Copa America, which they won against the full squad of Argentina, and given the number of games he has played for Brazil there should be no problem securing a work permit. Trust me, if we got this guy you would all be happy, his work rate is top notch and has there ever been a player to play regularly for Brazil who doesn’t have skill on the ball. Isn’t that what we have all been crying out for, quality on the ball. I thought this was just a stupid rumour at first, but it appears that there is something in it, I hope it comes off.

Kieran Doyle
82 Posted 21/08/2007 at 06:40:00

Can just see it now if Vagner Love joins us. We’ll start seeing "LOVE 69" on the back of everyones shirts!

Nelly
83 Posted 21/08/2007 at 09:18:33

David Barks which Copa Amrica where you watchin mate....I too watched all Brazil’s games in that tournament and all I saw was a 3rd Division Kanu....Talking about brazilians with no skill Julio Batista immediately springs to mind...ya know the one who was whinging about the Premiership being to hard because all the other nasty players tackeled him and has now disaapeared into oblivion He certainly set the Premiership alight didn’t he !!??...If we sign this guy you will all be very very disappointed...but not to worry he should only cost about £3-4 mil...Bully & Bullshit Billy will be made up
