Transfers

Here is one for you, and this just makes me laugh, how can this be true?

I would say there is more chance of landing on Mars in my Honda Civic than Everton signing this guy from them over there....

He's poor, doesn't appear to have any pace nor work rate. Plus we have no money, AGAIN....

How can Moyes work in this climate with both his hands tied behind his back? Give me any manager in the top flight who has to work like this? It's almost like we have a League 2 budget and must cut our cloth accordingly. It makes we feel like we are pissing in the wind all the time.

It's HIGH TIME our manager (whether you like him or not) is supported by the people in the boardroom, it's just ridiculous..

So consequently any 'rumour' we hear of, or back page story of Everton signing someone, just don't believe... are we able to loan any of the ladies team by the way, they are pretty useful... impact player from the bench perhaps??? If i worked like this in my profession, i would be sacked day on day....Journalism it makes me want to spit!

Wouldn't surprise me that Moyes wants him. He seems obsessed with attempting to buy anyone from the Liege team that embarrassed him a few years back.

Until about 3 years ago I used to get caught up in all the rumours and pre-season hype on the inter-web.

As you have alluded to, most of it is a pile of crap made to keep journos and whatever you would describe Mick Quinn and his ilk on Talk Shite in a cushy little job.

Last week R5L and Talk Shite and the papers were full of Avram Grant imminently to be replaced by Martin O'Neill only for it not to happen.

BBC Sport understands......my arse.

I haven't read your link - probably full of crap - but I agree with your point.

I'm in a foul mood today......

Mike i was too, so i had a tiger beer, which gave me a taste, and then a bottle of wine, and watched a feel good movie, sideways actually, so i am a bit more mellow now! However come tomorrow, i suspect i will be seething once again at the way our team is being run. i just can't get over it.....no other club in the top flight, Blackpool included, is run like ours is... NOT ONE....

He wasnt a bad player all that long ago. He could get back to his best at Everton in a similar way to Pienaar. Worth a go if at the right price.

The depressing thing is Darren Bent would of been the signing that would of changed our season but Villa could afford £24 Million and we would struggle to raise £4 Million!

I think Darren Bent was overpriced at £24 Million to be honest, but I still would have loved to have him.

Jovanovic was outstandig for Standard the previous years, but I'm afraid he lost the real drive once he signed a fat contract at Liverpool. He's good in holding the ball and a decent finisher, but he's not a fast forward running the channels. Not a Moyes-type of forward.

Both under £1 Million will do a job until the summer. That's all I have to say.
