Everton pursue late Suarez deal

Now THAT is a headline I never thought I would read.

We should put out some fake headlines about us being taken over by some billionaire Shiekh.

The redshite would shit themselves.

Don't worry, even if we did sign Ratboy, he'd twang a hamstring running onto the pitch and join the rest of the team watching from the stands for the rest of the season.

"unlikely but not impossible". I wonder how many players the echo will roll out tomorrow that we nearly 'signed' after speaking to BK.

Being saying for months that we need defenders and a permanent forward. Selling Jelavic and relying on two on loan centre forwards is madness. Similarly we have two central defenders the wrong side of 30. Great servants but I do not see any movement on replacements. One thing OFM always did was speculate on youth. He may have been fearful of putting them into battle but the recruitment policy was right. The present injury crises just highlights our vulnerability.

Someone's praying we sign Suarez and Mata - and we end up in talks for Mario Suarez Mata. Better pray louder.

Been a very quiet transfer deadline day so far, its been a pretty quiet window fall stop really.

Looks like Heitinga has all but gone now anyway, so thats two out two in.
I wonder whether Martinez really anticipated this is how it would end up going after he said we would end the transfer window with a stronger looking squad.

When you consider Jelavic and Heitinga have left the club and lets be honest we may just say Oviedo has gone now until next season, adding those guys to the now missing for what we hope will just be three or four weeks for Lukaku, but its still going to be virtually all of February that Lukaku misses.

I am not too sure that Martinez envisaged this kind of scenario really but here we are now anyway, looks like we are going to have to surpass expectations and keep our fingers crossed that Barry can recharge his batteries a bit and recapture the form before Christmas and also that Duelofue can get back without any reactions to his injury.

Its going to be a big ask but I truly believe now that we are playing for 5th now anyway, think to keep 4th alive we MUST WIN tomorrow and either at one of Tottenham or Chelsea this month, anything less than 6 points from those and its going to be hard

Fulham have had a really good month.

Dempsey, Holtby and Mitroglou.

Three very good signings there and all with good experience, would have had two of them

The lads on that 301 channel are reallly talking good things of Holtby.

Would have liked Holtby at Everton myself to take over from Osman and maybe give Barkley time to get that fitness back.

There's no way Spurs would have let one of their main rivals for a CL spot take Holtby

The way they're talking on R5L about Suarez suggests it's a distinct possibility - providing JH leaves.

Why does it rest on JH. do we need a midfield player....Yes Does it rely on money......if the answer is yes then we may as well give in now.

Patience chaps- this time in August we were doing nothing and then...

One can but hope!!

Has Heitinga gone yet??

Rumours are Harold he is not willing to take a cut in wages and he wants Fulham to match what he is on with us

Heitinga is out of contract in June so if he is serious about wanting to play he should GO !!

You'd have thought if he was that keen for game time before the world cup, he'd pay Fulham. He can't exactly be short of money and Fulham do seem the only ones interested

Senderos (remember him) has officially moved to Valencia. Can only mean the Heitinga deal is imminent?

Holtby should have come here for 1.5m instead he chose the £$ at spurs so called blue...

Appararently we had a deadline day deal agreed to bring Rodwell back on loan, but Pellegrini pulled the plug when he couldn't sign Fernando:

Considering we can only have two domestic loans, this doesn't make sense, unless we were going to make Barry a permanent signing before the end of the season.

James Stewart, we didn't even try and get Holtby.
