Roberto might go for Victor Moses

 Comments (14)  jump
On Sunday, Victor Moses was linked with his old Wigan boss in what looks to be pure speculation from journalists at the Sunday People and their sister paper, The Mirror.

The conjecture is that, with Romelu Lukaku ­heading back to Chelsea after a full season on loan year at West Brom, Moses could be squeezed out under new manager Jose Mourinho.

Wouldn’t be a bad signing. We need younger players with experience and also he doesn’t look like a Mourinho type player so we wouldn’t need to pay through the roof.

Would be a great signing. Strength, pace, goals - what's not to like?

Not only Lukaku, also Schurrle is probably pushing Moses further down the pecking order. And he was already on the bench.

I don't mind Moses one bit but I'm already bored of being linked with every Wigan player and ex-player. There are now quotes from a West Ham source that Martinez wants Mohammed Diame. So Martinez, Jones, Lawrence, Bergara, Evans... the confirmed signing of Kone today... and add to that the expected signing of Alcaraz and now Diame and Moses?? Not ruling out the possibility of McManaman or McCarthy

Talk about being Wiganization of Everton!

I saw Moses play a few times last season, especially in the Europa knockouts. Thought he looked good and it was a waste of talent sitting on Chelsea's bench most weeks.

" I don't believe it " Victor Meldrew next! In all seriousness,if there is any truth in it,( which is probably debatable) I would think he would be a more than useful acquisition! He has a lot of plus points age,position(wing/forward) pacey,fairly skilful with an eye for goal! Can see all the merits in this one,but has Bill won the Euro? Or has he been under the mattress, down the sofa or doing a hit on his piggy bank?

Hoping he could part the red defensive sea at the next Derby?

Don't believe it - but if it is true I reckon it's a great signing. But ... that must mean we're going to off load someone - Jelavic, Naismith, Anichebe?

John Crook,

Diame,,if he can be signed for the £3.5 million fee in his clause,would be a great signing.

As some people above have stated: Diame for £3.5 m - yes please! Has the mobility to dominate the defensive midfield position in a way that Gibson, Ossie and even Felli could only dream of! Look how often our midfield (Osman being the biggest culprit) were dribbled past last year - it needs to stop if we are supposedly going to be attacking more especially!

However on the subject of Moses - please, please no! Especially not at the prices being quoted. Moses is a typical example of the youth systems in the British game - pacey, direct, powerful and nearly completely lacking in technical ability and a footballing brain. With a bit of scouting I'm sure we could pick up a player with all of the above (including what Moses doesn't have) for a lower sum from a Spanish or South American outlet.

I've no problem with Martinez wanting to augment our squad with players he knows - it's understandable - but within reason! Think big Roberto! But after the Fer anf Kone farce, just don't tell Bill or Elstone when he's having his medical and you could probably sign this talented winger without them reaching for their Reader's Digest family medical book to find something to scupper the deal with!

"Everton today pulled out of a deal to sign the next Lionel Messi because his medical showed that he suffers from Frégoli syndrome (real thing people, look it up!)."

"Everton chairman Bill Kenwright pulled the plug when he became concerned about the affect this may this may have on team morale"

Good signing. A loan would be wise though unless we get rid of Jelavic.

Decent player with pace and a shot,but not for me. Usually takes one stride too many before trying to cross and would demand big wages.

Very good player imho, put him on the right wing in front of Coleman, hopefully keep Baines and we would then be a real handful from both sides, hope it happens.

Well, Bill's decision to ask Mickey Thomas to make him some counterfeit money seems to be paying off. No one has noticed yet!!!
