The Mail Bag

On Stephane MBia

I'm working at the Olympic stadium here in Tianjin. On the 13th, Cameroon are coming here to play against Italy in their final group game. Today they had a press conference and I asked the manager about M'Bia. He said that M'Bia will be playing on Wednesday. That is, it's hugely unlikely that M'Bia can be in Merseyside in the next few days for a medical, if he comes at all (I've no idea).

I also interviewed Victor Anichebe after his goal against Japan. His message for the Everton fans was just to keep supporting the Blues! He's got a slight injury (some kind of muscle strain) and hasn't been up to starting, so hope it's nothing longer term. I've got some mp3 recordings of his comments (a few issues with confidentiality there, though). This isn't much info, but it's 100% accurate.

According to rumour...EFC have sent a medical crew to China!

Of course it’s probably just BS !

Everton officals will go to China to meet the player over there, have a medical team there for his medical and try and get the deal done for M?Bia whilst he?s at the olympics. Anyway, dependent on how Cameroon do in the Olympics, M?Bia won't be available for selection straight away anyway, just because he?s in China right now doesnt mean we can't get the deal done!!!

I was gonna say... he doesn't have to come here for a medical .. all they need to do is find a private hospital and fly the club doctor in to oversee the tests.

You dont want a teenager with his GCSE textbooks? I seem to remember Wayne Rooney breaking through around that age...having said that, I dont think he ever bothered with his text books
