Lads, heads out your arses for one moment and look past the "glad I never signed for Everton" claim. He is hardly going to say "I'm absolutely gutted Everton couldn't come to an agreement with Rennes and signed Fellaini instead, I'm stuck here now with no hope, struggling to feed my family" (ok that bit he might say)

We were after him, theres no doubt about that. Rennes repeatedly said so, saying he wasn't for sale etc. The Liverpool Echo claimed he was our number one target...

The potential deal didn't happen for some reason - thats football, thats life.

Mbia is simply putting a positive spin on it and at the same time, talking up a potential move. Fair enough I say. He isn't a crap player though lads, no chance. He'll move to a decent European side.

So when Moyes, Wyness and co spoke about people who "let the club down" over the summer and that they would learn from their mistakes, its the likes of Mbia and Love they are no doubt talking about.

Moyes: ‘At the end of last season I wouldn’t have thought it possible we would be sitting here in August without a single new face.

‘It hasn’t been for the want of trying and I have to say the chairman, Bill Kenwright, has been fantastic. No-one has worked harder to get players in but it just hasn’thappened yet.

'There are all sorts of reasons for it and some must remain private. But there aren’t many clubs looking to sell players at the moment, and certainly some people who have been brokering deals for us have let us down quite badly.’

So you know when Kenwright said "Watch this space..." and people rip the man to death over that sentence, I mean, hes a liar?... Right? - he, like Moyes obviously thought deals, whether it be Mbia, Moutinho, Love or Alan Smith were imminent.

I've always said that.

But I've always said Mbia was a mouthy twaaat from the off though. I remember saying he reminded me of a player that belongs at Arsenal and their youthful ego's and massive heads. Wouldnt have fitted in the dressing room IMO.
 
the fact that he lied and is willing to portray a club that was courting him, in a bad light publicly, does himself no favours either as a professional player nor as a man.

Being able to see that does not mean people have "their heads in their arses". It just shows how quickly he is willing to bite the hand that feeds him and lie to the public.

Realistically he wants to force a move away from Rennes for better wages somewhere else, but there are ways and means. He has not played well this season from what I have seen and his reputation has dropped. I can only infer that the number of suitors has drastically dropped along with the price - in fact judging by the air of desperation around his media statements, I wouldn't be surprised if he can't get an offer anywhere near as good as what Everton were potentially offering him.

I can't imagine that he'd be a good addition to the squad as far as Moyes emphasis on 'character' - not just for us but for anyone. Greed, avarice, personal objectives and his own vanity seem to be his only concerns.

Thank god we went for fellaini instead.

Good point, Leon. The man has shown himself to be really very unpleasant. Glad that Moyes and company saw through him before we spent serious money on him. He would have proved disasterous.

I think it was as much luck as design - we would've signed him if Rennes had let us.

I dunno, I've only seen him play a few games and I wasn't that impressed - who knows maybe he's improved, but I don't want to see him in an everton shirt.
 
At first I loved for us to have signed him in the summer. However, the longer it took, I really got pissed off by his comments about money, money, money and even more money. In the end I'm glad we never signed that money driven mercenary. Would be the perfect signing for Man City though.
