Everton in Kennedy talks
Comments (41)
Shiels says the 17-year-old's head has been 'pickled' by the prospect of moving to Goodison Park, but has suggested Kennedy would be better off staying at Kilmarnock.
"The boy's head has been pickled with talk of Everton," said Shiels in the Daily Record.
"There are negotiations taking place at the top end of each club.
"I have spoken to Matty's father and told him what I think is the best thing for his son's career. A young lad's career is the most important thing here, not finances."

However, I have never seen this lad play, but for any lad that age to be a regular (ish) starter in the physical SPL, that is good sign.

One is a footballer the other is a dirty mouthy scumbag and the footballer is Walcott.

At the end of the day 250k is not much (even for us) - to put it into perspective that's about one months pay for Fellaini or Moyes. If the kid works out he will be sold for a 7 figure sum, if not, win some loose some.
I just hope Moyes isn't spending the last couple of days of the window trying to sign a 17 year old kid, who presumably will only be for the future and not now. Would surely be better spent trying to get in a more senior pro(s) to beef up of the squad, even if just on loan.
2 days and counting...

Something badly wrong at youth level here.

As we were widely reported to be after him a few years ago for double the £4.5 million that Marseille appear prepared to accept (desperately need the money apparently), and he has played at centre-back as well, what do people think as an alternative to getting Charlie Adam?

Did you mean 'tripe of Player'
192 Posted 30/08/2012 at 11:09:49
Or maybe just a nice 25-year-old Dimple malt.

I was explaining to my wife last night that when you die you get reincarnated but must come back as a different creature. She said she would like to come back as a cow. I said, "You obviously haven't been listening..."
My girlfriend says she thinks that I might be a stalker. Well... she's not exactly my girlfriend yet.
The thing I love most about this hot weather is the short skirts and low cut tops.... although, they do make me look a bit gay.

He's a shithouse, one-footed and one-paced... I thought he was going to be part of King Kenny's revolution – didn't happen though, did it, Chas, you gummy fucker??
I hope he rots in that hell hole over there and never graces our hallowed turf. This is Everton, sonny – do you hear me? Everton! – not a shite side ending in 'pool'
Two words: not wanted, not needed... er, sorry – that was four.

Anyway we have signed him now for £1M

£5 million for a back-up player is a lot unless he provides cover for two. I expect Baines and Pienaar to be first choices in all games barring injury or dramatic loss of form. I think Mirallas and Naismith will eventually be the starters in the right and central berths, with back-up from the likes of Fellaini, Osman, and Coleman, so having a specialist left-sided player to cover both Pienaar and Baines means less disruption overall.
Second factor, and one that I had lost sight of, is that Pienaar still has a court appearance to make in the near future. Even if he is found not guilty it is going to be a difficult period for him and could affect his form for a while.
On top of that, will we lose Pienaar for the African Nations cup?
Don't know if this makes sense to anyone else; maybe I am just putting up barriers to the idea that this makes it easier to sell someone else.
